No , when I said chewed through batteries, I meant literally. They were a super tight squeeze and really hard to get out, and degraded a lot of my battery wraps, even with the ribbon.
I actually kind of liked it as my first "box mod" and other than the battery issue, it was fine. I mean it was serviceable, it did the job, and like, it was a perfectly fine mod, especially as a beginning vaper, I didn't need anything fancy at the time, at all.
I still have mine, I dropped it a jillion times and etc., and it held up well apart from one rather large dent.
I've moved on to other stuff but mine still works, and I still keep it for sentimental reasons, it was my quitting mod but like, I've moved on to other stuff.
I wouldn't term it a bad mod in any way, and I'm sure if I used it today, I'd have an easier time with it, I mean, I know more about batteries and how to treat them gingerly and whatnot, but no real COMPLAINTS exactly and etc.
