Just looking for some feedback on the chipset, If you have one, or have built a device what do you see as the main benefits/drawbacks/things to consider.

If I understand vaping and watts law, this chip would allow for a warmer vape than a standard VV/VW device and also an ability to use lower res. coils at a more regulated voltage than a mech. mod. Is that about right? What I dont know is how this all translates to performance and happy vaping:)

Just got my Hana Modz V3 a few days ago, and I gotta say; it's worth it. It's so nice to be able to build a 1.6 ohm micro coil and have it vape like a champ with little to no ramp up time. However, I have found to useful bits of info:

First, you need to make sure (or at least I did) that you have a high drain battery for these devices (sony vtc 4/5). Now, some will say you can get away with a standard 20a limited battery if you only plan on going to 20 watts, but I prefer to overcompensate for the sake of safety.

Second, change the way you think about your coils. Most are tempted to sub-ohm because that's what most are accustomed to. On a dna20/30, however, the best vape will come from a higher-ish build, such as 1.2-1.8 ohms. Since you have more power to put through those coils, it will vape like a sub-ohm. It also means you can get those micros and nanos to fire instantly! (Big plus for me.)

My suggestion; if you can build one or you can find one, do it. It's well worth the hassle.

I've had... (I think) five DNA20 variations, no DNA30's. The 20 is an excellent performer, on par with the best. The only potential drawback is if you're a low wattage vaper (under 8, maybe even slightly lower). It doesn't regulate under a certain level, and reverts to battery power.

And the 20's don't have a "lock wattage" feature, other than the five-click "sleep" function. Not a big deal, but it's there. I believe the "lock" function is now part of the 30.

All in all, I like them. I'm a relatively low wattage vaper (9-11).

I do own a DNA 30 myself and have to say it's been my go to device since. I run my Kayfun builds at 1.7 ohms and my RDA's at 1.0-1.2 ohms. Having consistent vape throughout the whole battery life is the best part, no more worrying about voltage drop off. I was fortunate to pick up a DNA 30 device equipped with two 18650 batteries running at 5000mah.

I agree it's a killer consistent vape. My DNA30 has a 5600mah LiPo....lasts me 6 days on a single charge vaping at 21 to 23watts on a 0.9ohm dual coil build in my Kayfun. Awesome flavor and vapor.
