I woke up this morning with a different perspective, there's no point in fussing over this but to trust the companies to do what's right. Hopefully when they receive the product they will test it, if it's completely sub-par they will refund everyone, if they're scum they will send it out anyway.

Here's my response to IllVapes e-mail:

"Hi Michael,

I'm going to be honest, I'm not very happy with this answer. Now, I've never done pre-orders before as it's always risky but to the point of not even knowing where it's coming from?
I'd expect at least for the vendor I chose to give my money to, to disclose and be upfront with a paying customer.
I'm sure you've seen the spanish review on a DNA20 clone by hcigar which turned out to be pretty rubbish, obviously I'm afraid these could be the same except they go up to 30w.

I am not at all expecting a magnificent work of art, what I am expecting is that it performs like a dna30 since it's supposed to be a 1:1 clone.

I think, personally, it's bad business to dance around the questions and keep the customer in the dark. Will you receive a free sample to test/review it before the full order like I heard many other vendors will receive?

Thanks"

Awaiting for a reply, if there will ever be one.

Dear Arlind,

Arlind glad to contact you again! I think you are so busy, so write this emial instead of talk on trade manager.

May 4th is coming, I am sure you are urgent to get 1:1 hana mod clone.

Frankly speaking, we had tested more than 100000times, every function is ok.

But you know hana mod need high technology and huge investment, we have so many customers waiting for these product.

We are afraid of mass production,Dangerous! if customers are not satisfy with its quality, the worst thing is bankrupt for us.
We should be responsible, or you will lose your customers, and we will lose you.
That is what we don’t want to see. We need to be very carefully on this product.

After board meeting, our company would like to invite customers to test hana mod for us.
May 4th is Sunday, we will send you a totally free sample on May 5th, after you confirm it, we will make deliver your order. You still first in line because how big your order. so please not worry!

warm regards,

Cloupor

Come on! Why do you do that? Someone has obviously been monkeying around inside the mod. I have one about 2 weeks old, and the wires look nothing like that behind the glass window. Feel free to bash Hana, but misleading the others on ECF doesn't help them make an informed decision.

I'm still confident and hopeful all of this will work out for everyone.

Let's be honest it can't really get worse than this can it?

There's nothing in your post to indicate you intended a humorous message. I apologize if I misread your intent. Whoever opened theirs up, splayed the wires, and then suggested it came from Hana like that is a jackass, a fool, and/or a liar.

I'm not bashing, just being humorous and lightening up the mood! It was someone on a forum that decided to open theirs and it was like that. I'm not bashing at all mate :)

Im usually not the sort to either be an early adopter, pre-ordering glorified beta tester etc etc

But the price is more than right for me to take a risk.

I am tired of lusting after a ZNA, or watching the boutique wattage war to see who will be the first to develop a 1000w box mod powered by on board solar pannels with integral twitter and facebook updates. Then you have the Chinese with their weekly introduction of a new SX something or other.

I was pretty close to just picking up a legit DNA30 chip set and rolling my own
then I saw the FT 20w clone . .

But now I am here in vape purgatory, waiting with the rest of you and hoping we arent all suckers

I wouldn't buy from FT IMO, I never really trusted them for some reason... But, the clones from cloupor for example, I am 97% sure that these will work out great and people will be supper happy with them, if all these fail then Cloupor is as good as dog crap in the vaping community as well as most vendors that took on these pre-orders will get a consequent bad image from this and will have to issue to refunds to everyone. There's a lot at stake here, I'm sure the Chinese will step it up.

I would say it is a real Hana, it reminded me of inside my Hana mini when I first saw it.

From what I can tell that is an older model and I hear they used to look like crap in the v1's and got a little better with each edition. So seeing that is a vtc3 in there it probably is an older pic but still I don't think the wiring in the clone's I have seen is all that bad. They just used bigger wires is all. But some seem to think different. Meh. We have yet to see in the inside's of a cloupor 30 watt model yet. I still have faith that it will work out. So :) . Lets just sit back and see what happens. I ordered from vaportek and I am glad they tell me where it's coming from.

Been reading my FT posts - dwcraig1;)

The thing that most bothers me is that the clone is missing a dirty great big IC chip, if this particular item is a clone then why is it so different? I could just make out the bottom of the clouper chip on the youtube vid, whilst it does have an IC chip it's still different.

There's normally a plastic cover on the Real Hana's - maybe the photo above shows us the reason for this.

I've just emailed a bunch of Hana clone suppliers asking about the possibility of buying the empty housings - if they'll sell me them for $25 to $30 each then I can use genuine DNA 30's in them and make them for less than $80 - they'll be guaranteed to work at the specified numbers:2cool:

I have read all of that. I have been on this everyday checking up on things. But once again that is the hotcig, 20 watt version that had the supposed issues which may of just been the one unit. Also it's too early to tell and that video with the 2 different atomizer's doesn't really mean anything or prove anything yet. My point is don't let all the hearsay throw you into canceling yet. If the 30 watt ends up testing out to be crap then I will cancel as well but there is 0 basis for that yet.

BTW, I was trying to be a ..... Sorry if I came across from there. But all I am trying to say is don't give up hope yet. All we know is that the first hotcig that was sent out was crap. Maybe the later one's won't be from hotcig. But even if they are the 30 watt cloupor has not been seen to be yet.

Totally get what you are saying.

What's wrong with the HCigar unit, now? All I've gathered from the thread is that there were some shenanigans involving the resistance of the atomizers used in some Youtube clip. Is it only "rubbish" because you can't sub-ohm on it, or was the device actually shoddy?

Edit: Nevermind, found the FT post referring to the review. Cancelled my order from FT because I'm certain they're supplied by HCigar (no other manufacture is known to be producing DNA 20 box mods). Disappointing, but China will sort it out eventually.

I paid more for the original ILLVapes "1:1 Hana v3" clone. I think that gives me all the leverage I need if I ask for a refund after delivery because I have a real Hana V3 for comparison. if features don't work, it won't fire my toppers the same, it's not the same size etc, then its not 1:1. Their B&M has good reviews on Yelp and other similar sites and I have friends in the area who have given me good reports on them(though we all know SSVapes B&M is totally different from their online venture). I plan to keep my real Hana at home and use my clone as my out of the house vape. My GI2 will be the vapemeet stunner, especially now that they have verified that the next batch is a full upgrade over the first and will have all the original bugs corrected and an upgrade to 150 watts. :evil:

As for the Hana I can only say that mine is flawless, and has the holo stickers etc. I have used the flashlight app to peek inside the red tinted plexi and all the electronics/soldering etc look stellar.
