Revisions and more from my
earlier remarks in post 3280
There is a green light when the battery is fully charged - you just have to find a way to see it and it does take about 30 minutes to show after the icon shows full. For me I could not see the green light on the sides of the USB port, or through the inside back red window. The way I can see it is to look from the top of the device to the bottom and then tilt it to the side with the screen while looking at the bottom inside edge of the screen - from this angle I can see the red light and when it does turn green - so Clouper just did not add a charging light port to the device for some reason. For me this is not an issue, the full battery icon + another half hour of charging is good enough.
The device is painted, not anodized, and I'd guess it was painted with an electrostatic painting method, hence the even thickness of the paint and every nook and cranny was painted. BTW - The orange peel is not blantantly obvious and appear very nice.
The screw holes in the back cover of mine no longer have paint on the inside holes from removing and inserting the screws; so I think the paint will not hold up well. But time will tell - considering the cost. WTH!
Compared to the DNA
The Clouper Clone is very close to the DNA 30 but you will not get an identical vape experience at the same wattage settings for every atomizer. On the clone I got a variance as much as .1 of ohm from the actual device. Ohm, wattage, voltage calculations are different from the DNA (rounding errors maybe).
Differences - It only takes four clicks to unlock the device from when it is locked when in Right Mode. Change to Left mode and then four clicks locks the device, five clicks to unlock. The screen brightness changes are minimal. you have to see the change from bright to dim to know the difference.
One other note - The back cover can be moved to line up very well with tight joints before tightening down the screws.
Bottom line - I wanted a Hanna Modz but in the couple of months of looking I could not get my hands on one! Will now Hanna is going to have to step up their game to get me interested! The Clouper Clone is not a clone, as in identical in every way, yet an excellent alternative, especially considering the price.
