Zen ZNA clones coming...

So I picked up the black ZNA 50 from Vape Pen Sales that someone linked to somewhere in this forum. Was either here or the sx mini thread. I believe it was a post made by Nighthawk iirc.

Anyway, the sucker arrived today. First impressions: Compared to my AMod ZNA 30, the firing button is smoother and nicer. It actually did come with the 18650 tube which helped me realize that you could screw the tubes on in either direction so now my stripes are toward the bottom on both. The chip in the 50 comes up from sleep much faster and has the welcome message "Zen ZNA 1207". I've read about this message before in this very thread, but I'm not sure still who made this clone. Most of my research said Robbot, but the product photos on the site suggest s particular wholesaler from DHgate. The mode screen is spelled correctly unlike the Wotofo. The up/down buttons are a little higher up on the body. And the screen, while in the same position, is a little more square than round. Inside, there is some soldering that seems to have gotten out of control on the battery contact, but not shards from drilling/milling as with the Wotofo. The 50 feels heavier. I have an AW 18500 in there with my Hobo .8 ohm 28awg build firing nicely. The display appears to show live voltage which is different and new. It shows zero for volts unless I'm actively firing it. Goes from 3.5 immediTely to 3.1 once the juice starts popping.

So far I really like it, but I'm very curious about the chip and who made it. Anyone have any clues?

Also, the Vape Pen Sales guys were awesome to include a couple free CE5 tanks and a little silicon jar. No clue what to do with the jar, but the CE5s will do nicely on the Inferno I started this vaping journey on. Particularly since I think the cartos it came with that I never used last year appear to be dry rotted or something. Tastes burnt no matter what or how much juice I put in one of em. Scared to try the other four. I have no desire to get burnt cotton induced bronchitis.
