Using a Soldering Station with temperature control is essential in not burning up sensitive electronic components. Using a 30W iron requires skill. A clean and properly tinned tip as well as clean parts that are being soldered plus using flux will help. Holding the tip on the joint for the least amount of time to avoid over heating is recommended.
I don't think modding is necessarily a way to save money. I've spent way more money building mods than I ever would buying them already made. I suppose it can be if you do things as cheaply as possible, but then you end up with a cheaply made device. Those abound for for not a whole lot more money than you can build them.
I guess I sort of misspoke. The money savings doesn't come from the mod itself, but in the modding. For example, I have spent about the same as I would have for a high end vv mod. Out of that, I have the raw materials for at least 3 mods, on top of the three I've already built. I've also spent about 20 hours modding. Frustrating at times, fun at others, but mostly entertaining and ultimately satisfying. In addition, I've started learning a new skill, and justified the purchase of more tools (even if I have to save up for them). All this at slightly below what I would have spent on cigarettes for the last 2 months (a carton a week @ $35).Yeah, I could have spent $35 on a cheap mod. But where's the fun in that?

One thing though... You get a lot of pleasure vaping something that you made. Not bragging but the only mod I've made so far vapes as good as my Vamo. I've been using only my mod since it was built.
