#3 for me, thanks again Alan for being awesome 
BTW thughes, your avatar says 2JZ swap, but that doesn't look like a Supra... just what the heck is it you swapped it into? hmmmm that gives me an idea for a turbo vape

Thanks again for the contest - its very generous of you. I'm just wondering if you have a wall where you display all the mods you've come up with? If they ever have a contest for most original designs, you're a shoe-in 
BTW, I saw the pics of the Catahoula as a pup - got any new pics?

#3# but seriously, folks... Al, I haven't responded in any of your threads, but have been lurking, enjoy your work. I haven't made any mods yet, but I will.
The highlight of my (non-vaping) modding career was emptying out a Guitar Hero controller, cutting up a Korg Kaossilator touchpad synth, and getting it mounted into it. I even got the neck buttons wired in, and it did more than the original instrument.
Edit/Addendum: I found a picture of it, unfinished. It was functional, but not quite done. I was wanting to use it at a gig, so I just cut out a piece of a Pepsi carton, painted it yellow, and taped it on top. Note the tape on the neck, reminding me of what the new functions of the buttons are.

Not yet, but he's growing like a weed .. 10# at 6 wk, 18 at 9 wk, 25 at 12 wk, now over 30 .. how big do these things get anyway
.. don't answer on this thread . send me a pm, don't want you disqualified LOL
my 3rd entry, because once again, i've always admired your contributions to the modding community & have secretly followed your work
For those interested in FETs and touch switches, CraigHB imparted some really good info in a different thread, thanks Craig!

Everything has some amount of resistance, even a regular wire. Switches have some amount of resistance, although very low. MOSFETs have some amount of resistance, usually higher. However, when switches wear, the carbonization that builds up on the contacts can increase switch resistance significantly. In the longrun, wear on the contacts can render a switch inoperative. This happens much more slowly with a MOSFET because the switch carrys much less current. The switch contacts don't carbonize nearly as fast, if at all. Tactile switches running very low currents usually fail with loss of spring tension before the contacts stop conducting. A properly rated MOSFET will pretty much last forever so the biggest advantage comes with a touch switch which will pretty much never wear out.

My 3rd entry. The touch switch sounds very interesting. And did i mention I love geckos?
I was so nice today instead of the dog licking me, I gave the dog a lick!!

3rd entry - Thanks for the info about touch switches! (info I now don't need to look up)
Did I mention I have geckos on my car seat covers, windshield screen and driver's wheel cover? Just beggin to be my drivin buddy, lol! Thanks so much for the opportunity, this is awesome.
