I will show the final design next week. I've been making some modifications to the door recently. As you know, the mod body is made up of two halves, one of them being the door. This makes the door very easy to remove and put back, while not distracting from the aesthetics. A minor issue is that due to the clearance of machined parts, when mated together, there is a slight amount of play. I want my mod to feel like a solid piece of brick when held, so I've done some work solving this issue.

Sounds awesome, can't wait to see the new design!

I'm really excited for this mod because of the concept of a regulated set-and-forget module. Everyone seems to want screens and buttons on their regulated devices, "oh, but I taste different things in my boutique juice at as little as 0.1W difference!" Yeah, that's fine and all but I vape one juice all day every day and know what parameters it needs to suit my preferences. If I could get 4.0V, 3.6V or even 3.3V every time I push the button I can just tailor the coil to meet my ADV needs. I have drippers to deal with my experimentation, a set voltage from a squonker would be heaven for me.

edited to add: OH! And then combine the idea of being able to use the same mod with or without the regulation module (probably using a piece of metal to replace the module) *AND* it having a COTS 10A fuse down in the bottom of it I could stroll into any auto parts store to buy? Yes please! This thing seems like the Toyota 22R of the vaping world.

I think you and I are on the same page with the volt regulation module. Can build coils to get desired wattage but sagging batteries are a bummer. I'm a huge fan of consistency!
:D

Yeah, a lot of thoughts did went into this mod. But even more thoughts went into another mod of mine that I was thinking of releasing together with this mod. I mentioned that earlier in this thread but due to design challenges I have to put it off for now. Had I been solely focused on this first mod, I don't think I would've taken so long.

But it was not effort wasted. I do plan to continue working on that 2nd mod of mine after this first one is released and everything goes smooth.

Some of you have mentioned the voltage regulation module. While I do plan to release a voltage regulation module, it will probably have a limit when it comes to wattage. This is due to heat dissipation issues in the module itself. There is a trade off between space and power when it comes to the module. On one hand I want to keep the mod small and nice looking, on the other hand, I realize a lot of you guys are power hungry vapers.

Right now is a good time to think about the desired wattage for the voltage regulation module, before I finalize the dimension for the mod.

So how much watt do you think is enough? Personally, I vape at 4.2V at a 0.7 ohm resistance, so that's roughly 25W. But I know a lot of you would probably want more than that...

I can only speak for myself. I have mods that can go 100W, but I personally never go over 27W in any configuration that I enjoy.

I'm a variable wattage kind of guy. Different juices and different times of the day have me using different wattages. I also like a variety of flavors. I have 5 mechs and two variable regulated mods that I vape almost every day - each dedicated to the atties, coils, watts and juices that I like in them.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I would likely build to suit whatever voltage your mod is set to. And I would appreciate the consistency of that voltage!

ETA:
Wait. Are you planning on regulating the volts or the watts? I would prefer regulated voltage so I can build to the wattage I prefer with different juices.
