I have several mods that the paint has worn off, but they still work fine. While vaping technology has gotten really good, the paint jobs - not so much.

That's true, but it would be nice to know how for when the need arises.I'll be vaping, too, and it will be a long time before I need a self engineered mod.
Hubby actually engineered our first mods. Both a box mod and a tube mod for each of us. I still have all 4 of them. Should the need ever arrive he can do it again. Hopefully that need won't arrive since none of them had display screens.That's true, but it would be nice to know how for when the need arises.
And, Mamu showed us how years ago.

For example recall the itty bitty coils and capacities (both juice and battery) we had in 2010-2013?
In fact, it sports an automatic e-liquid feeder by way of an electronic micro pump. The pump is programmable, allowing users to adjust the pump time in how many drops were fed into the atomizer. Furthermore, it boasts a custom precision drip feed adapter to make sure e-liquid gets delivered directly to the bridge of the atomizer and not down the side walls of the atomizer. It also has a custom juice well to re-feed excess e-liquid back into the atomizer. In addition, there were also other features that are quite notable, such as the pump off mode that allowed you to turn the pump off and use the device as a standard personal vaporizer, a touch sensitive fire button, an auto sleep mode that helped save battery life, short protection, over current protection, as well as a micro-USB port that allowed for internal charging and pass-through capability.
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger !! I still want that Maserati Mod that I ordered in 2011.I remember waiting with baited breath for this one years back... Sadly, it never came into being for full retail sales. Lot's of innovative features for it's time (EDIT: 2011... A long time ago, in a place far away...) :

For years there has been manufacturers spilling out new and innovative products throughout the vaping market, but unfortunately not all of them result inguidetovaping.com

EDIT: As for new vaping tech, I'd like to see a micro-pump driven e-liquid injection system... It would mist e-liquid over a wickless heating element, which could be easily cleaned / changed, and long-lasting....
I'm not seeing any evidence of that. In fact, it seems more like companies are coming into compliance than exploiting loopholes. Nude just returned their nic to the consumer market. Nic is available (granted a lot more expensive), equipment is available, and my suppliers don't seem to have any problem getting stuff into my hands even way out here in the boonies.The future of vaping in the USA is building your own mods and mixing your own juice.
That's assuming you have a big fat stash of nic in the freezer and a big pile of unopened RTAs and associated spare parts....decks, tank glass, etc.
If you don't then vaping isn't in your long term future.
The current loopholes will close up eventually.
The GEN S is a very reliable mod. I have a single one that I bought in 2020 with several other mods. It was meant to go into deep storage, but it looked so handsome in its green to black color scheme that I couldn't resist opening it. It's been in daily use since then and 100% reliable, though it has some advanced paint wear now, especially around the screen. My one big gripe with it is the battery indicator is essentially useless for me since it reads tiny numbers in a full bar too small for me to see, rather than just a bar that goes down. I also wish they'd have gone with a metal fire button, the cheap gold plating on that wore off almost immediately, and the button has gotten squishy lately. I know that will be its ultimate point of failure. Really wish I'd have bought a couple more. It's so much lighter than the clunky MAG P3s that are my daily drivers.I have a Vaporesso Gen that I've used for at least 2 years with only a few dings in the paint. It is the first of about a dozen Gen/Gen-S in my stash and is still going strong. If all the mods of that type last as long, I'm set for a long time. I've had other mods give up after a few months.

I know this sounds cliche, but a sharp Fonzie blow with the palm of your hand around the battery door should get those MAGs working. I've got a fleet of P3s, and one in 3 has that very same problem. It's related to the battery door not fully locking, I think. A little smack works every time.I haven't had any issues with the power button, unlike the Smok MAG 225W in which I had three die on me in 18 months because the power wouldn't switch on.
