Hello, try here for the board Evolv DNA 40D (retail box) DNA40D.COM | Protovapor.com

And grab a China dna empty box from somewhere.

I normally dont give advice like this because people like different things and I respect that. My advice is you should wait a couple week and look into the SXMini-J instead of the Dna40. Evolv is still having problems with their new board. I have friends who have had 3 and 4 replacement boards and they still do not have it done right. One has sent his back for the last time expecting a refund. If you go too Welcome to VariTube.com - A Better Alternative to Smoking Perry announced he will have mods and modders boards available late this week. They sell enclosures, boards, buttons, 510's everything you need.

Good luck

I found my chip on the 'bay. Worked out really good too, as Evolv accepted my paypal receipt and honored the warranty.

I know it's not the greatest looking. I originally bought this box for a dual 18650 I was going to build, but after messing up my HM clone box, I just kind of threw it together. I didn't do it the one stop shop way though.

The 40's board fits perfect in a 30's clone enclosure, buuuut I had a springed 510 with a 22mm juice well on it... which is what lead to messed up box.

Thanks! I got it off Amazon. It's the acrylic Hammond, 4.4x2.4x1.1" enclosure.

Sweet thanks man i was thinking of dipping the front with a clear back just so you can see all my crappy soldering

 

[okozmonoto]

I'm no where near good at soldering. I've tinkered with it for years, and never really was able to make clean joins. But recently between vaping and working on my daughters power wheel, I found that using thinner solder, and pretinning everything make the WORLD of difference.

And for the box, initially I wanted to use a metal Hammond, and get a clear door to fit it (from an online 3d printer) I figured that way, I could paint/powdercoat the box, and still not have a need to cut a OLED screen window. I was impatient and decided not to because of shipping... In hindsight, I wish I had gone that route. On the side not pictured of the clear DNA, the dabs of hotglue I used to mount everything looks hideous.
