Hey Basil, thanks for the notes, always appreciate feedback! I wasn't aware that not having the wiring and resistor enclosed on a stacked battery setup could potentially be more hazardous than any other exposed wire job on other mods. I haven't messed around on that top cap at all, but from what I can see, the wiring seems to be really well shielded and tucked away. Then again, he has a lot of crap stuffed up there. In my research I've always found AW batteries to be a fairly safe battery. Maybe I'm putting too much faith in my power choice?
I really hope that you can get your issues squared away with Jay on that unit, I know what you mean by wanting to love a device. I've been really lucky with the performance on mine, and I hope you can experience the same quality product. That being said, I'd also be interested in seeing your re-review of the GLV-2 and hearing what your experience has been, your reviews have always been really informative for me.
Have an awesome weekend!
