DNA250C Enclosures

Hi all, I'm looking for some recommendations for a build I'm attempting. I have a DNA250C which I was planning on putting into a SXK Boxer. I did this and despite seeing some pics online of others who have done it, mine doesn’t work the best as the buttons aren’t a great fit. It all works but it feels pretty tacky. I could mess around with spacers ect but meh, I don’t think it will ever be great so I've ditched that idea. I’ve been shopping around for enclosures but much to my surprise, all the DIY web shops around are quite short and/or very brief on information.

I looked at the NLS G4 DD 250C from stealthvape. After purchasing everything required its way beyond my price range. Then I was considering the DNA250-250c-Kit from AnalogBoxMods. I assume by the price this comes with the DNA board but theres no option to remove it and theres not really any information exactly what is included to get all the parts separately. I can’t really afford to repeatedly be buying bits an pieces until it fits, shipping to Australia is a killer

My first plan was to build a dual battery squonk. After the boxer failure I search high and low for a dual battery squonk kit but they don’t seem to exist so I settled on a regular mod but finding parts for that is proving to be very difficult as well.

Are there any places around that are like educational sites for DIY mod building that are more directed at regulated mods? My goal is to build a dual 2x700 squonk but at this stage I’m up to vape on my 250c in anyway possible.

Thanks for any help you can offer

Contact u/AnalogDan. Pretty sure you can work something out with regards to his kit and no DNA board. He is a stand-up guy, and his stuff is so good, I even ordered one to Denmark. Just dont get him started on talking about his band... :p

We don't have an enclosure big enough for 2x20700 + squonk bottle, if you go for a regular mod I'd recommend the ABM-2XL enclosure, perfect fit for 2x20700 + the DNA board, https://imgur.com/a/lRqfIhw . If you don't need the whole kit (which includes the board) then the other parts you'll need are...

The enclosure comes with magnets, the board holder, mounting hardware and actuators, you'll need a 510, battery sled and wire. Any of the 510's we stock will work, for the sled the MosMax 2x20700 is the best, and for wire you'll need aprox 1 foot each of 14AWG for the output/510, 16AWG for the batteries, and 24AWG for the balance charging pins.

Here is a build video for that exact combination if it helps, https://youtu.be/lAgxCJBr6kY .

Just placed an order for 2 setups. I assume the 75C cutouts also fit 250c?

Yup, if you would have selected the "external" board mount method the mounting holes are slightly wider apart on the 250c but looks like you went "internal" so it won't matter, the actuators, usb and screen cutout are the same for the 75c and 250c. Thanks for your order :).

Alpinetech on eBay. That's where I get just about everything but batteries and connectors.

I was able to swap a 250c chip into the sxk boxer body. It took a little bit of modding since the 5 pin at the bottom of the 250c makes the length of the DNA chip longer than the existing SXK 200w chip. I just dremeled out the bottom about 2mm and then it fit in. The battery cradle needs a notch cut for the back of one of the chip as well. The final thing that needs to be done is the center button needs the hole plugged and your ready for a complete install. I am comfortable making these changes as I create my own mods, but if your not a person who can customize and build then I really don't recommend it. The SXK version works and looks no different than the actual Boxer mod, however the only difference is the Boxer is SLS 3d printed and the SXK is injection molded. If you want to take it a step farther you can remove the fins off the back of the battery door and you then can fit a 21700 in as well, though I decided to just keep the 20700's since they worked for almost all day use on most days I carried it with me. Here is the attached picture to my finished swap SXK Boxer 250c swapped picture and Picture with the chip fitting in the SXK body
