Info on making custom DNA 250

[eddo1981]

Hi people, I got a lost vape Triade DNA that I don't use. Would like to use it as a donor to make a nice regulated squonk or a mod hammer of God sort of size. What with having a young family my time is quite limited so would be ideal if could buy replacement chassis/enclosure and relevent parts to save on the actual making that part myself

This maybe not as easy as it looks the dna250 requires 2 batteries min 3 if you want full power

You could buy a box mod and fit it in but you still need to drill the side for the screen and buttons a squonker would be even bigger to support the extra size (11mm bottle)

I have never made a squonker mod using a dna 250 due to the size just fitting it all in

Thanks for the info, so what would be my best option? Would just get a squonk but not into mech and regulated not got loads of choice

If you want a regulated diy Squonker you might be able to use , and I'll be testing this in the next short while, a dna 75 in stealthvapes pre cut dna enclosure with a single battery, widen the 510 hole for a modmaker 510 and washer

It can be done with a dna 250 but would be a big mod

My next build is a pwm Squonker and that is in the biggest enclosure modmaker have that feels nice to hold, it's very tight and the board is tiny compared to a dna

Size don't really bother me it's only for at home and long days in the office, any info on parts and building are highly appreciated

In theory it should be possible as it's very similar to the Drone. The bottle replaces one of the batteries. The 510 would need changing to a bf, wiring to the remaining 2 would almost certainly need altering & a route for the squonk pipe.

Or find a dead Drone & use the chassis.

 

[eddo1981]

Yeah but how easy would it be to find a dead drone and don't think they are the nicest looking

There are several ways of approaching this - you can use a standard dual battery enclosure and use the 250 in 2 battery mode giving you 166w, you could go far a dual battery enclosure with a decent sized LiPo and use the whole 250, You could do duall battery box and fit a single cell plus squonk with a DNA 75 or you could find one of the bogger hammond style bokes and fit a smallish LiPo, and squonk gear with the 250...

Ok well that's some good options, where do I find all the bits? Is there anywhere I can get all the parts at a reasonable price?
