My MadVapes 5v Box Mod --- A Question..

[BenD188]

I made the 5v Box mod from madvapes. This is my first 5v experience and I'm loving it. I used some epoxy to make sure the 510 connector is secure, and it is. I am new at soldering, but I got this to work my first try! Been using it for about a week or so and no problems so far. The wiring and soldering could be better, but it works.

My only problem is that I'm afraid I'm going to pull out a wire. I have to be careful putting the battery cover on. Should I cover it in Hot Glue or something to help that? I have seen that in some other mods but I'm not sure if that will hurt it or not.

Its very neat why spoil it with hot glue every where, you could use epoxy resin very sparingly and it will still look good

Filling everything with glue/epoxy can backfire on you. The components need to dissipate heat. If you goop them up, it could insulate it and cause the regulator to overheat.
