I'm an idiot

Before I get started I know that this was due to my carelessness but I'm gonna share the story anyway.

I had a Minkin V2(Black). The top of the mod started peeling and I was thinking of stripping it to sand and spray eventually.

I took my RDA off. Took the battery cover off. Took the batteries out. Unscrewed the four screws that hold the battery section in. I noticed that to take the screen and button out was going to be a hell of a lot of work so I decided to abort mission. I started screwing the battery holder back in. Put the batteries back in and noticed there wan't any power.

I took the batteries and felt they were getting very hot, something was wrong. I eventually was informed that when screwing the battery holder back I screwed directly into the live wire. So when putting the batteries in creating a short and fried the mod. I am luckily nothing exploded or went south.

Moral of the story don't strip mod's unless you know what you are doing and aren't stupid like I was lol

Yip that is just the kind of thing I would do... I only put a screwdriver in my hand as a last resort!

Oh wow, you are one lucky man. That could of taken a whole different turn. But, live and learn.

Damn. Glad that turned out okay.
The day someone invents a safer battery for vaping use, he'd be a rich man quickly.

Wow, so glad that the final result was minor.
