      I got some busted mods can I use the board chips to build new mods

      If the chipsets are good just purchase some enclosures, mounting gear, 510's, whatever buttons you want and wire (if needed). Then install your chipsets.

      There are several online stores that carry the parts you'll need.

      Good luck!!!

        First, welcome.

        SMT covered a lot in his post,

        I will try to add something extra, which mod parts shops are up and running.

        ModMaker UK, sells 510 connection, Evolv chipset, Yihi chipset, and MM mosfet, battery tubes, battery sledges with keystone connection, wires, magnets, and more.

        Stealth Vape UK,
        The main supplier for Evolv, and the one who does warranty work for Evolv in Europe.
        510 connections, battery tubes, Keystone battery sledge, wires, stabwood, and a bunch of other things.

        ModForge Italy, aka SteelLabs aka ModDog, legendary in the industry.
        His strength is 510 connections, which are far above the competitors, battery tubes, and a little bit else too. He is also an excellent designer.
        He also supplies a lot of parts for High end, TEK Division and SubMonkey are two that use 510 and batt tubes from Modforge. modforge is run by Michelle.

        There are other shops, but many have closed or are small.

        If on the other hand you go towards the cheaper projects, nothing wrong with that, the Chinese industry is not what it once was.
        It is rare to see a Chinese vape chipset, and after FastTech closed down, even a 510 connection has become harder to find.
        I have not seen Battery Tubes from China.
        The Yihi Chipset is also hard to come by.
        Most Chinese manufacturers do not sell chipsets in bulk that they use in the mods

          Arctic Fox has for some model ... !?
          I saw a fellow that mentioned it, but probably you have to pay to download them... !?

          The program is free, but it is limited which mods the software can be used on.
          It was a popular software to use on Eleaf Pico 25, 75, 21700, squeeze 2.
          Eleaf moved away from micro USB to USB-C, and made all newer chipsets non-upgradable. Unfortunately, this also applied to the pico 75.

          AF can be used on some newer Lost Vape, but you have to do a bit here and there with the mods before it can be used.

              Arthic Fox

              Compatibility (not Eleaf with USB-C, ie, model as the new Pico, Pico Plus)​


              Our firmware supports the following devices:

              Joyetech:

              • VTC Mini, VTC Dual, VTwo Mini, VTwo, AIO, Basic;
              • Primo, Primo 2.0, Primo Mini, Primo Mini SE;
              • eGrip II / Light;
              • Cuboid, Cuboid Mini, Cuboid 200;

              Eleaf:

              • iStick TC100W, iStick TC200W, iStick QC 200W, iStick Power 80W, iStick Tria;

              • Beyondvape Centurion;
              • La Petite Box;
              • Vapor Shark SwitchBox RX;

              I have used Arctic Fox in Joyetech as well as Eleaf, in TC it is a very good upgrade.
              Many of these older models are very cheap, if you can get hold of them.
