I built a raptor passthru.

It depends a lot on what type of power supply you plan on using, and if you want the batteries to charge while plugged in. Were you thinking of using a USB power adapter? (can get one that puts out 4 amps relatively cheaply) Or did you need something more robust, that could handle multiple passthrough devices at once? (like a bench power supply, or converted ATX power supply)
(if you're looking for something for your car, I'd take a look at BJ43's post above)
Also do you want to charge your batteries inside your device while vaping plugged in, or do you just want the ability to use the device without batteries, or while the batteries are on a charger?

Since you've already made a mod with an OKR-T/10, the box itself won't be a problem for you. You'll of course just run the positive and negative wires you would have attached to the batteries outside of the box.
So it comes down to a power supply. You have a few options. The easiest, (a laptop ac adapter with high enough amps, or a lab bench power supply) are prohibitively expensive, unless you have them laying around the house.
Other options are, a 12V power supply (made usually for LED strips) you can usually find them in the 10 amp range for around $20USD. Or my favorite option which is to convert an ATX power supply. Most folks have old ones sitting around, and if not you can find them cheap, new or used. The benefits of that, are a choice of voltages (you can run 12V for buck converters like the OKR, 5V for straight unregulated passthroughs, or 3.3V for boost boards.) You can run multiple passthroughs of different types at once from the same supply, and of course the price.
If you decide to go with an ATX conversion, there's articles and videos all over the place on how to do it. It's not difficult. If you have trouble finding them I can point you to some of my favorites.

Hi i was thinking of building one without any batteris like The zorro passthrough mod. I really smal Boxim just going to use IT at home
I use a universal ac/dc power supply from radioshack set at 7.5 volts.
The vamo (15watt) v5s accepts that voltage (for stacked battery application).
