I must be one of the few who is looking forward to this one judging by the lack of buzz. I'm waiting for the Yihi SX Mini M class in Mar/Apr, but believe it or not I have never owned a box mod. I've always wanted one but never found the one I had to own. I had been looking at some box mods that used the Yihi SX300 and SX350 chips, and I came across the hcigar HB-50. Pretty cool, Yihi SX300 powered, but the deal breakers for me were 1) screws instead of magnets on the battery door, and 2) no wattage adjustment buttons, just the goofy Yihi gyroscope bs. No deal.
Then I stumbled across the Hcigar HB DNA 40, which is shipping sometime after the conclusion of Chinese New Year, so we'll see it some time in March.
I'm kind of jazzed about this little box. Authentic Evolv DNA 40 chip, magnets on the battery door, small form factor. It's like a poor man's Vaporshark, and for me, who is already planning on splurging on the more expensive Yihi SX Mini, it gives me a chance to try a real Evolv chip on the cheap and play with nickel builds while I wait for my Yihi. It'll probably become my commuting device after the Yihi shows up, so I can finally retire my almost 5 year old Silver Bullet. Price on the HB DNA 40 is projected to fall between $100-120. People aren't going to like the 510 connector on this one, but it's a small gripe given all the other benchmarks this little box hits.
I haven't seen much if any conversation on this mod so I thought here was as good a place as any to start. I'm getting one and will post my impressions when it arrives. Chinese New Year is killing me, get back to work you!
