LOL.... I may just hang around to see if a V2, V3, etc. of the clone comes out and where the price point goes or doesn't go....or I may just pop-in from time to time and read a bit....
elev8vape's DNA30 "clone" has VV&VW, unlike most other Hana clones that are VW ONLY.
Now that's a news flash I've not heard... link please......

Where did you get that from....as with Retird....have not heard that from ANY of these boxes?????
I think retailers are making stuff up to try to get an edge while these things are hot. Just like Illvapes did by saying the logo'd clones were "better" then the non- branded!
Not a single thing any where on elev8vape's website saying it's vv and vw. Methinks a troller or a grossly misinformed person.
Ive got a dead silver bought from WV. This particular mod just died one day. One morning I got out of bed and installed a battery into my previously working mod. The mod started firing continuously. So I pull my topper off and changed batteries. I then and currently only get a check atomizer reading. Everything else seems to work fine. I wasn't terribly concerned since I have a green from 101 that works near flawlessly. I did not send the mod back for replacement. Ive since pulled the red inside cover loose, wasn't hard. The internals look good. So It has to be a fried chip, IMO. My intent, and the reason why I did not seek redemption is thst I have ordered the Evolve dna 30 board, that I am going to install. I am also thinking of replacing the 510 connector. Has anyone else done this already?
I've not seen any posts that somebody has replaced the dna board. My parts have not arrived yet and the 510 connector I chose isn't available till 6/16.
On a side note just as a bit of info. The DNA board has a ribbon cable that attaches the display to the board. The ribbon cable and display MUST be treated very gently as the display can easily be cracked with minimal pressure and the runs in the ribbon cable can be easily fractured if it is bent to sharply. The solder points where the ribbon cable attaches to the board are fragile and can break loose from the board. Thru the experience of many modders we have learned that a drop of super glue gel placed under the ribbon where it crosses the board will help strengthen the connection and take the stress off of the solder points. The ribbon cable/display on the clone board has the same design, thus they should be treated accordingly.
Just passing this to you so you consider it as you move forward on replacing the internals.
For those like me that didn't know what an EPM mod is.
Hope I got it right.
Having not looked at this one nor checked into its design yet.... would it be correct that it uses 2 batteries in series as opposed to 2 batteries in parallel? Just curious if anybody knows......
Just one more thought. If you want you can check continuity between the threads and the center pin of the 510 connector. If you have continuity then the 510 connector is shorted and there is a possibility that the dna board may still be good... just a thought...
What parts did you order besides the DNA 30 chip and the 510 connector?
Are you going to add fuses also?
Just watched a video on it and it is paired 18490 VW device. Menu is counting blinks all controlled by 1 click followed by 1 to 7 clicks. You find out what it means by the way it blinks back at you color wise and speed of the blinks. For example in Ohm mode for a 1.2 ohm coil it will blink 1 time slow followed by 2 quick blinks. This is how it tells you want Watts, volts ohms etc. I'm still not sure how it turns up or down and in what calibration method.

Yeah. But still, I'm going to be waiting a while. It doesn't matter much right now because I'm going out of town tomorrow for 18 days, and I already have a Green and Silver (I'm also taking an authentic DNA MOD - not a Hana - and a mech), so the Blue is NOT necessary right now.

Replacing the dna board, usb charging board, 510 connector, and placing resettable fuses between the battery and the dna board. Probably will also need to replace the activation buttons. Ordered/waiting to order all but the buttons as I have those already...and still determining which style of fuse.
I'm one of those who steered a buyer towards the clone because despite the quirks, I simply couldn't justify the $180 markup on the Hana, especially considering they share the MOST COMMON VISUAL defects as the clones, and one of them, the crooked 510 connectors, seem FAR MORE PREVALENT on the Hana than the clones.
