ok thinking about the mod box kit...if i understand correctly all parts needed are included(except tools). i would just have to add batteries and charger, right? are they easy to make as i have no electrical experience. bought 2 egos in the past 8wks(they seem to know when their warrenty is up). one just quit charging and second switch went bad, so i thought i would venture out on a mod.

As a new modder myself, I cannot stress this enough: take this slow. Soldering/drilling/whatever else you are planning on doing is NOT as easy as it looks. Soldering takes time to learn, and the best way to learn is by practicing on something inexpensive. Try soldering wires together first so you get the feel for your iron and what it takes to get the solder to melt and stick to your wires.

I jumped in head first and tried putting together a 5v mod with no previous soldering experience. Let me just say I have a very useless plastic box with wires sticking out it sitting in my drawer. I took a step back and watched some soldering videos and decided to take a stab at a 3.7v mod. That was much easier to put together and took very little time to complete.

Go slow when it comes to modding. Take your time and don't give up if your first mod doesn't work or has a lot of flaws.

But to answer your question, yes. The mod kits come with everything you need to get the job done aside from the tools needed.

Good luck!

Yes soldering is most important with the mod kit and if you can solder the rest is just following the diagram on there blog located in upper right hand corner which you open and scroll down. The vv mod kit instructions is there to use and i followed it and my vv mod kit works great .
If your not familiar with soldering like above poster mentioned practice first and get used to your soldering by tinning some wires and soldering them together and remember these parts are small .
Patience comes in handy .

Here's a little tip to help make your soldering experience go much more smoothly....Get yourself some rosin flux. Most solder has a rosin flux core but it's not really enough. Another tool that will greatly improve your chances of success would be "helping hands" or a small vice used for electronics. You can find these at Radio Shack but the quality isn't the greatest. Your best bet would be an electronics site or Amazon. Good luck!!!
