    Strange DNA30 battery level behavior... anyone seen this?

    I had this happen when I used a really crappy protected 18650 in my DNA 30 device. Changed to a Sony VTC5, and the issue hasn't happened since.

    Does the display brightness "flicker" for anyone else? It does it randomly, going to full brightness, then back to dim, etc. There's no real rhyme or reason to it ... it'll even flicker when firing.

    Attack of the Hana Modz Clone. Let's wait together!

    I pulled my my Cloupor apart to see about resolving the 510 issue, but the amount of glue they used on mine is just staggering. The entire top portion surrounding the 510 is just one huge glob of glue; what appears to be both epoxy and hot glue on top of that. There is MUCH MORE glue inside this...

    Attack of the Hana Modz Clone. Let's wait together!

    I received my Cloupor DNA30 clone today, and I have it sitting here beside the FastTech DNA20 clone. I'm going to send the FT back, and am awaiting an RMA from FT before it hits the mail. But while they're both in front of me, a few observations concerning the differences between the two...

    Attack of the Hana Modz Clone. Let's wait together!

    Yea, that was my FT Hana DNA20 clone that burned. I'm relatively sure I know what happened on mine. I assumed it was the hot glue covering the chip leading to an overheat condition, but after thinking about it I remembered that I had seen several "Check Atomizer" messages earlier in the day...

    Attack of the Hana Modz Clone. Let's wait together!

    That's where I'm at now. Evolv board has been ordered, and will hopefully be here within a few days. I need to decide if I'm going to swap my clone @ FT for a replacement, but I have decided that even if I do I'll still swap the board. I just don't think the clone boards are reliable, and the...

    FT Hana DNA20 Clone - To Evolv Or Not To Evolv

    Not a bad idea. I'll see what FT says about the exchange once they contact me. It's been over 24 hours so far with no response. I've never returned an item to FT before, so no idea how that is going to work.

    FT Hana DNA20 Clone - To Evolv Or Not To Evolv

    I decided to just get the genuine Evolv DNA 30 board. I ordered one from House of Vapor for $49.99 plus shipping. There are some photos floating around on my FaceBook feed where folks are having these clone DNA boards burn up, so I'm not the only one. Some of them nearly caused a fire when they...

    FT Hana DNA20 Clone - To Evolv Or Not To Evolv

    Appreciate the link! But if I replace the entire board, I'd really rather just replace it with the genuine Evolv DNA 30 board. The one thing that irritated me about the clone board (other than premature failure) was the 40 second sleep timeout. That's just not enough time for me. Apparently, I...

    FT Hana DNA20 Clone - To Evolv Or Not To Evolv

    Or even better, if anyone would happen to know what that chip is, I'm not opposed to replacing it on the board. I'm very handy with a soldering iron, and have replaced SM components before. I'm assuming that is most likely the DC to DC converter?

    FT Hana DNA20 Clone - To Evolv Or Not To Evolv

    I received a FT Hana DNA 20 clone on Monday, and it worked very well up until last night. I hit the fire button, and didn't get any vapor. I noticed a burning smell, so I pulled it apart and yanked out the battery fearing a short. After examination, it appears one of the chips on the circuit...

    Attack of the Hana Modz Clone. Let's wait together!

    Well my FastTech Hana DNA20 made it a whopping 3 days before it burned out. LOL. Was working just fine, and then it suddenly quit firing. The screen shows it firing, but no voltage comes out of the atty connector. After examining it with a magnifying glass, it appears the power regulation...

    Attack of the Hana Modz Clone. Let's wait together!

    Would anyone happen to know of a company that makes vinyl wraps for the FastTech DNA20 clones? These are the ones with the split drip well, and do not have the single top piece of the Cloupor clones. Will a regular Hana v2 wrap fit these?

    Attack of the Hana Modz Clone. Let's wait together!

    I've been using my FT DNA20 clone for 24 hours now, and overall I'm still impressed. There are a couple of things that are driving me crazy, however. 1) This little tiny fire button is just killing my fingers. They're actually sore this morning from pressing on it yesterday. I don't think its...

    That is the full size (18650) version. It's the DNA20, not the DNA30.

    I'm impatient, and when I ordered the red was the only color that would ship immediately. After getting it, I'm really glad I chose the red! It looks great!

    Attack of the Hana Modz Clone. Let's wait together!

    My FT DNA20 Hana clone arrived today. So far, so good! The machining looks very nice, and the anodization is well done and clean. I'm not a huge fan of how the boards are glued into the case, but I understand the original Hana was put together in the same manner. I've tested the charge...

    really

    I vape indoors at home, but I do tend to treat the vape as smoking when I'm out in public. That may change, but for now I figure its best to be considerate and keep in mind that many others aren't really as up on vaping as the community here.

    Hana v3 Clone Ohm Wrong

    Got my Hana clone in the mail today, and notice that mine reads .01 to .02 higher than the same coil on my Vamo. Not a huge deal as long as you're aware of it when setting your power.
