I know this is mundane, put if you’re like me, pics of the guts of things are interesting. This is the board inside KSD’s E-Holly 35W mod. KSD claims it’s made by YiHi. The front looks OK, but the back is as ugly as a mud fence. Besides the humongous size of the mod ( 26x145mm), It suffers from the same malady as all other Vamos. Crappy connector. This one is supposed to be adjustable via a 2mm (right hand thread) screw. I think it’s worse than my old V5 Vamo was, and I’ll include a pic of my fix for that one, too. Anyway, planning to make a box mod out of it. Gonna try to fit it into a cheap Radio Shack 270-1802 box.

Yup, mundane but interesting

I'm sure it's new box home will give it new life

More pics.

The box with magnets and FD connector mounted, and the board wired and tested.

A tip for others - if you file the little tits off the top of those switches, the top comes off easy and exposes what amounts to easy solder pads. Also, most of these things have a common between the switches, a little work with a meter will save you some close soldering.
