DIY Mods . . is this a lost art?

[redbranchwarrior]

I recently tried to purchase a box mod online and was surprised when the company told me "Sorry, we can't currently ship ecigarette products to the state of Maine." I've been vaping since 2010 and this is the first time I've come across this.

With new regulations coming down from congress and our nanny states on how to better save us from ourselves, I have set out in earnest to gather information on building some DIY mods, but I can't help but notice that the last rash of DIY modding happened and seemed to end around 2015. What happened? Is this still going on somewhere else? Is there simply no interest? Some of the components for those mods are no longer available.

I'd love to see more DIY mods come out because the future of the vape market looks bleak.

See if you can register on Breaktru

Modding

While it is no longer active, there is still a bunch of info and diagrams there to get you working on some pretty good modding.

I still build and am so far behind I may never catch up. What types of mods are you interested in

Oh no, people are still making mods.

They just aren’t talking about it on open forums.

Checkout this guy's youtube channel. I've gotten several kits from him and they are economical if you figure what is cost to build one from nothing.

Supply and demand. If they ban everything, the lost art of DIY mods will return. Methinks.

The biggest tip I can give a new builder is practice soldering til you are confident before you try a DNA board.
