So what did you screw up today?

[shortyjacobs]

I'm home with a thrown out back today. I've been vaping on my new Old Goat mod all week, and was inspired. I love his mod, but wish the bottom feed needle was sealed in the connector. It's not, so when you flood the catch cup, (which I do often, and which is the only way I can make my i06 taste good), some leaks a bit into the case.

Heavily borrowing from his design, I pulled together some parts and made my own, with a sealed catch cup, and I daresay an easier juice loading design, (you have to pull off the atty to get the needle out in his design...mine uses silicone tubing so the atty can stay connected). I just finished it.

Did you catch my screwup? It's back there, in picture three.

When epoxying everything in, after assembling and testing it, I used too much epoxy. It oozed into the on-off switch, gluing it permanently in the OFF position! 8-o I soldered across the back of the switch to short it, so now I have a functioning mod with a non-functional main power off switch . (Edit: I know it looks like it's glued in the "on" position in pic#1, but I actually flipped the switch 180 degrees to make it work better...)

So, I know most of you aren't perfect and you hose up mods. What'd you screw up today??

I realized that you should have all the parts you want to use BEFORE finalizing assembly. I used a 510 to 510 connector (so I could use a drip shield instead of having a drip well) while I waited for my eGo adapter and eGo drip shield to come. Screwed on my new adapter when it arrived today and discovered my needle is too short lol, doesn't even go all the way through the adapter. Oh well, guess it will be the main connector now for a VV copper mod.

Oh god, I can't build a mod without all the parts on hand. I dry fit things and quadruple check cuts and measurements. And I STILL haven't made a flawless mod yet.

This thing's flawed, but damn does it hit like a truck. The PEX adapter catch cup is awesome.

How about building a mod with what you thought was a normally open switch, but wasn't?
G******n, why is this carto firing before I even hit the button?!??

Ooh, one of those "super-automatics". Shove a battery in and vape until you pass out.
