The box from StealthVape is a good box. The board cradle looks quite a bit bigger than the one davetherayon has in his, so not quite as much room to work with.
You would have to cut the dna40 board to fit because the StealthVape cradle is designed for the dna30 board.
The charge board does screw on the end of the cradle and the board just clips in place so no need to glue either the dna or charge boards in, the cradle then that screws inside the box.
I made the mistake of accidentally clipping the board into the cradle before soldering the wires onto it, I had to grind one of the lugs away to get it out.

Also be sure the screen is stuck firmly to the housing or it can move when you put it all together.

Good luck @scooby and take your time.

If I can do it anyone can

Cheers crystal been thinking about it for a while and your post encouraged me to give it a go.

I noted your remark about not using the board sled next time, and I don't like the fact that the orientation is ass about face, but you can't turn the board round so that the charging solder points are near the charge board, and the fire and 510 pos and grd are at the top.

I've got most of the parts now so can see better how to arrange them, will start a thread when I think I'm ready to proceed.

I used a dna30 in mine so it may be better with a dna40, the connection holes are in a different position I think. Maybe put a better 510 in it so you have a spring loaded connector also change the fire button, that's something for the future with me.

It is well worth making, I use mine all the time.

Given a little more experience I'm thinking of a regulated squonker, doesn't look too difficult either.

Use a fine pointed soldering tip too, those holes are very close together and try not to keep the heat on the board too long, you don't want to fry the chips there.

Good luck again @scooby

Make sure you get the right batteries for it that can provide the continuous amp output.

Be safe not sorry

Excellent davetherayon I'm getting the parts together to do a build with the box from StealthVape that VB linked to, crystal completed one recently. I doubt I'll be doing it in one sitting though.
