BestVapes Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 What kind of box should I make? What should I make the box out of? I wanna build something that is not for sale and one of a kind. I already have a list of materials I will need (board, battery, wires etc) just need an idea for a case/box/shell of some kind to put it all in. Not something to big but not something to small. (I was thinking about just buying an NES controller and technically making a DNA20/30 NES Mod but I don't wanna bite Evolv's style although it would be worth biting into! haha) So yeah let me know what I should do! I was thinking of a solid wood type of build but i'd rather take something thats involved in everyday use. Like a gutted stick of deoderant. (How weird could you look vaping on deodorant?!) Let me know some suggestions VT! ~Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Whatever you do, be sure to use the proper gauge wire and remember battery safety. Use fuses to protect the board and yourself. If using dual batteries, be sure to put fuses on both batteries for reverse polarity protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestVapes Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Still gotta fuse em for protection It'll be built correctly when a plan is formed and all the materials are collected. I will be doing a bunch of research to on how mods are built and get a good understanding of how to build one properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proetus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Any questions feel free to ask. If using a standard type aluminum enclosure you will need a screen cradle to make life easier. They are available in different depths all the way up to 5mm i believe. Just make sure you get the one with the stop. Screen Cradle Edited March 20, 2014 by Proetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen Cradle the only reason i would make an aluminum enclosure is to preserve the build as best to its abilities. Although it would be more effective to have a rugged shell made of aluminum it still wouldnt be different then another other metal made mod.

Proetus Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Perhaps i phrased it wrong, the whole point was to suggest the screen cradle. It is specifically made for the dna screen. It comes in a variety of depths to accommodate varying thickness of the enclosures. Edited March 21, 2014 by Proetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 If I could build one, I'd do it with an M-57 Clacker. It's the vietnam era detonator for explosives. As a former Marine Combat Engineer, that'd be sick! I've seen an image of one turned into a DNA mod, but I'd still buy it if I could, regardless of price!

Joshuab3687 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I actually have one, but finding it will prove difficult. It's buried under a mountain of all my other old azz Marine stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoevapekins Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I know how that is. Got boxes of old army stuff all over the place lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I know how that is. Got boxes of old army stuff all over the place lol When we built our house a couple years ago, the wife made me put ALL my stuff in the attic until we can get a workshop with game-room built. At that point, the game-room will have a "Jarhead" motife. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
