Question about DNA20 & AC-DC power supply

[Yraen]

Hello everyone,

I've got this idea for a mod I'm going to build for a friend. This is a vape at home mod, not intended for on the go vaping, so I wanted to just use the AC wall power instead of batteries. I was wondering if a power supply like this Integy AC-DC 12V Power Supply 7A Output INTC23189 would work. I've got everything else drawn out and am just waiting on the DNA20 to come back in stock so I can move forward with this.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'd suggest reading the datasheet that is linked under the DNA20 description on their product page, before you fry a 50 dollar product.

The DNA20 is specifically designed to work with a single high-drain lithium ion battery. You'd have to step-down that 12v, which is kind of pointless for powering a step-up module.

I'd guess that it's hard to find a power supply that will output around 3.5-4v at high current ratings, but I could be wrong.

You could use that supply with a module such as what is used in this thread:

Good luck.

Yeah, I was going to go slow before frying anything, that's why I asked. I can't find a power supply with enough amps and a low enough voltage. The best I found was 5v at 6a. I guess I'm going to have to use batteries after all.
