How did YOU learn

One more thing: if you're fixin to make a touch tube mod, make sure you understand the FET .. both of these are POSITIVE GROUND devices because I use "n-channel" mosfets in them.

Sorry, didn't answer your question I bought my first boxmod from Madvapes (competely assembled) and studied the way they built it. Then I bought components and built a couple more similar boxes. Then I started adding stuff (5v regs, multiple batts, variable voltage, flashlight mods, lazer mods, etc etc). It becomes an obsession (it even has a name: Modumust). Hope you catch it, it's incurable but who cares

There used to be a really cool tutorial forum called madvapemods.com which had step-by-step instructions to make all kinds of different mods. It was great!! I learned a bunch on that forum!!

Unfortunately, it was attacked one too many times by spammers and hackers. First the pictures in the tutorials disappeared, then tons of "off-topic" posts began appearing from places like the Middle East, etc. When they started getting spam attacked with pictures of bare naked ladies (real ones, not the band), I stopped visiting there, not wanting to be associated with such rubbish. Guess I was on my moral hi-horse It was, I think, all a major security problem.

I just went their site and it is under re-construction .. that's really wonderful. I hope they can get back to their original focus: providing info and tutorials for DIY modders. Once back up, they will be a great resource for beginners and experienced modders alike.

Newbies on ECF gripe because they are restricted from access to some things and the inability to perform certain things on the forum until they have a little experience. Well, I agree wholeheartly with the restrictions. You open it up too much to unknown members and pretty soon there's spam everywhere!!

Thanks for the replies guys, and asnider123 I have been checking out your work in multiple forums, fking amazing sutff man. And I am obsessed I spend hours a day just reading up on this stuff and dreaming about it (Im to poor to buy the tools still, my savings is quickly dispearing). But I cant wait untill I can start!..Maybe ill just lose my birth certificate/id and become 'illegal alien' (in california illegal aliens get paid more then me and they arnt even supose to be here) =P seriously tho, one day I will build a mod!

Here is how I used a piece of proto board to make the Positive terminal and mount the electronics. It worked out pretty slick.
