Mounting Box Mod Charger

[Gummy Bare]

So i have a enclosure that has a cut out for the mini charging port all ready. I have a genuine evolv charger i want to install. I'm not exactly sure how to do it. The charger call lay directly against the inside of the enclosure and the port will match up correctly wit the cut hole. i'm just not sure how to attach it correctly.

I want to epoxy glue it to the box, but i'm assuming the epoxy (gorilla two part, mix and harden in 15mins stuff)will not be good to get all other the charging board. Could i shrink wrap the charger with shrink tubing and then glue that to the board? will my gorilla epoxy start to "melt" the shrink tube wrapping?

Most epoxies are non-conductive. You can epoxy the board in with no problem. They charge extra for conductive epoxy.
You could use what the pros (hana) use: hot melt glue. It's ugly but it works.

Thanks for the tips. I wasn't worried about it being conductive as much as it melting\damaging the board, wires, or anything like that. I haven't messed with this kind of epoxy before (gorilla brand is what I got), but have in the past used some shop brands at work. The work ones would deform and melt plastics and whatnot.... so I wasn't sure if slapping that on a open board would be an issue.

The hot glue gun was also a thought I had as I've seen my mom use that stuff since I was a kid and also seen people use it for various box mod applications. I wasn't sure if it would hold up overtime since I'd be pushing the cable in and out of the charger port every other day.

i mix up some 5 minute epoxy and goop it on then hold it in place while I have a vape and talk to the dog. When the first batch sets, I put a second coat on that locks it in.
