I pulled off the stickers and opened the sucker up about a half hour ago. Couldn't see anything of interest...just a ton of wires and hot glue and epoxy (white and yellow). I pulled the 510 pin up a little bit with some ceramic tweezers and tried all of my clearos on it. Still nothing, keeps reading "check atomizer". I'm REALLY bummed out about this. I know its a $80 mod and I shouldnt be...but I was going to purchase my first rda on Friday and I was SUPER excited to try out my first build on the clone. Oh well, hopefully this will help someone else avoid what just happened to me.

But still I've verified it has short protection and should just say shorted if outer thread was touching center pin

Yeah I'm not understanding why it's not displaying "shorted" I intentionally shorted it without frying it.... I've also used a clearo with a pin that was less than flush and again said shorted...

Does the Cana's with the later firmware not say "short" when shorted?

Good question.....

A number of posts ago, someone posted about the 510 connector, the way it was designed and how it's wired into the box and how they felt it was extra cheap and should be replaced. Could that low quality pin be causing the stuck check atty issue? In other words would replacing it with a higher quality 510 connector fix broken ones or prevent the error on others?

That post you are referring to is regarding the "Hotcig" version of these clones not the Cloupor......it is the one with the adjustable firing pin....I know....I have one....:facepalm:
 
My device did not display "short" or anything of the sort before it crapped out

Just to reiterate, once I screwed the Aerotank Mega onto the device the screen went black and all that was showing was the battery icon. After I took the battery out and back in the screen went back to normal and the device could no longer read any atomizer. I have a feeling that the threading on the Mega's pin made contact with the pin in the Cana mod. This shorted the device and made it unusable.

Exactly the question ...... yours was saying "check atomizer".... why not "shorted"... and why did the chip fail???
 
I emailed elev8 Saturday evening about my 14xx black order, and they told me they had just packed it and it would ship Monday morning. They sent me a tracking number 30 minutes later. Tracking number didn't change until today, with an origin scan in New York. They either lied to me about having it, or they left it sitting in their shop for 4 days. Either way, I'm won't be ordering from them again. I know everyone here is raving about their customer service, but it didn't come through in my situation.

i been reading up on reddit that the 510 is fairly bigger on the cana, while the auth and other mods have a smaller pin. this seems like it could cause some problems.
20140604_074306.jpg

Illvapes clone on the left, authentic on the right. The clone pin is a much larger diameter than the pin on the authentic. I can only assume this means a thinner isolater, as well as the clone appears to be a standard brass, and the authentic has either a chromed or nickel (I can't see it being silver) plated pin.

I will iterate again this is an IllVapes clone. I have never had to call them, and always got a polite & professional response within 24 hours of sending them an email. They easily allowed me to switch to a no-logo clone and gave me $40 of store credit for the price difference which I have redeemed. Not that it should matter but I was always also polite and professional in my communication, and never rude or threatening etc in my communications.

On the Illvapes clones the standard Hana v3 (non-mini) wraps from Vapor Skinz and J-Wraps will fit. The main difference I see between the two is the patterns the company used to cut the vinyl, as the VaporSkinz has individual pieces for the thin strip on the bottom of the door etc.

Just an informational post....read on Gotvapes site...they have given the clone a different name but here is what they mentioned after testing for a few days:

Max Wood, GotVapes CS Manager Obervations on the Orbit30
Hi Gang! Woody here!
I have been testing this unit for several days now and I am thoroughly impressed with this unit. I have run it with a Kayfun with 1.4 and 1.7 ohm coils on it and have run an Aqua on it with dual coils at .6 and 1.0 ohm. It blasts clouds of vapor! With the .1 watt increments you can really taylor it to your perfect vape! I have run it at 28w with the Aqua and a .6ohm coil and it was amazing! I do want to point out one thing, this is made for experienced vapers with knowledge of the interactions of Power, Voltage and Resistance. It is not meant for the new vaper as they could get very overwhelmed trying to operate it. It is indeed a very advanced device! Other that that I love this unit!

Please NOTE: We will warranty these for 7 days. Please be aware we have to provide our own warranty service as the manufacturer does not allow us one. Please be careful with this unit. It is very dependent on the internal DNA chip and this can get fried via a number of ways including accidentally using it as a pass-through without the battery inside or hooking this up to charge and forgetting to place a battery inside. We have to be very strict as these are very expensive to stock and we do not have a high margin on these.

I don't think there is any cause for concern and I don't see any proof of Elev8 lying in what you've stated. It seems you've got a weekend plus USPS processing time there. USPS doesn't scan items into their system as soon as they receive them. I've shipped things out myself where I've handed it to the postal worker at the counter in the morning and the tracking isn't updated until a day or two later. 48 hours before an update seems more than possible. Glass half full. :2c:

I had already thought about changing out my 510 for the FDV adjustable 510 but that's only if its not got a solid block of epoxy around it as I have seen in some pics. I just checked my tracking. It had said it was in Atlanta, GA forever. Finally this morning the tracking had been updated. It's been at my post office since 5am, which usually means it will most likely be in my mailbox today and at worst possibly tomorrow. Cannot wait to see the red.

I am kinda confused, am I going to have trouble using my russian 91 on this clone? can I blow up my device?

taking a closer look at my two cana's the positive pin it is the largest i have seen. what a disappointment and very poor judgement/cloning. this large post will be very prone to shorting out so please be very careful. also seems the short circuit protection may not be working on some units.

to Yot.; if your Russian has the crappy spring loaded positive post i would not use it on the cana. i replaced mine (spring loaded positive) with the original design.

to all (even the seasoned vets);
be sure any atomizer to be used on the cana has a positive post/pin that visually protrudes out the bottom.
do not overtighten the atomizer past snug using just two fingers.

Good bit of info there. I noticed mine would say check atomizer until I unscrewed the positive posts on my attys a bit. All good from there.

Thanks for posting the review retird. Something about that guy kinda freaked me out but that is not of importance. Thick accent. Loving the look of the red. I personally think the red, blue and green are the best of the color's.
