First, I'd like to say Happy Birthday to PIF!
The answers to your questions:
Q 1: What do you mod?
A 1: I will mod anything that will sit still long enough for me to solder it, rip it apart, or hack it. - Seriously, I make flashlight, laser pointer and box mods.
Q 2: What have you modded?
A 2: Box mods, tube mods, laser pointer mods, cigarette lighter mods, squirt gun mods, anything that seems "modifiable". I also mod CE2 Cartomizer/tanks. I make my own juice and I am currently working on a mechanical switch, a touch sensor switch and internal USB charging so people don't have to remove the battery as much.
Q 3: Why do you want this broken old thing?
A 3: I believe I can fix it. Its a contact issue that you are having. If I fix this, I will give it to a friend that can't afford a mod - she is older and on a fixed income. She loves my GLV and begs me for it every time I see her. So, I'll fix it and give it to her. I fix everything. LoL! Just ask the entire north west/central tier of Pennsylvania!

I was at VapeFest 2010 and took this along with me:
I actually took this photo of my box mod, when I was there.
(For anyone who remembers - My left hand was swollen from my cat biting me)
