Attack of the Hana Modz Clone. Let's wait together!

[retird]

Truth, but given the nature of Chinese clones, the cheap price, and being the first run there was an assumption of risk that came with me dropping 70 bones for one.

Now there is a threshold for me of how far advertised claims are from reality. Unfortunately it seems like that wont something I truly determine until the mod is in my hand.

Realistically for me if it can reliably regulate about a .7ohm between 20 and 30w then I will call the deal fair.

OTOH if I end up with a box that just displays made up numbers and fires at God only knows what.. Well the vendor and my CC company will be given notice immediately

It was advertised as a 1:1 clone of the Hana.... I saw no "assumption of risk" but understand what you are saying.... you are correct that history shows "first run China stuff" is iffy at best. 70 bucks for a hana clone is a huge incentive to purchase especially when it is advertises as a 1:1 clone.

Yeah...good point. I'm still looking forward to getting my Cana mod. For how I vape I'm hoping it will work (.8Ω at around 25W)

I guess that even if it doesn't regulate right at your setting you can find that happy place....it may be that you have to set it at 20 watts or 28 watts or 30 watts depending on how out-of-whack the regulation really is....OR it may not even be out-of-whack....that's why so many want answers they are not getting...nobody, to date, has said definitively it is all OK or it is definitely flawed.....the vendors are the ones caught in the middle....they are selling the device based on the manufacturer's advertised specifications thus they are in a dubious place if the devices are not as advertised....

That's why it's an assumption

Ultimately the choice is yours. At least if you ordered from elev8,cancel if the risk is too great for you. If you ordered elsewhere and cannot cancel you jumped the gun and that sucks for you. But early adopters always are the risk takers in technology not just vaping. It is what it is, take it for what it's worth. Maybe in a few weeks I'll eat my own words and curse cloupor. But more than likely I'll be having a nice vape.

Yeah that is were I am. .7 to .8 on some builds and I need more than 20W.

Tis true. I keep saying I'll never buy the first year model of a new car again, but I keep doing it.

You are very correct in saying " early adopters always are the risk takers in technology ".

Just a bit of vaping history to pass along and a few comments:

Evolv designed, applied for a Patent Pending, and marketed the "variable wattage or properly known as power regulation technology" and spent big bucks designing the Darwin, Kick, Kick2, DNA12, DNA20, and DNA30 technology over a period of years. Hana Modz adapted it to their designed mods and spend money in design and R&D. They were the risk takers and now China is striving to "reverse engineer" and market "Made in USA" technology. China is not an early adopter of new technology in this event but are just stealing others work. That is why they are called "clones"....

Ya pbsaurdos hardware review Que is closed for summer. Nothing is going to be added and he doesn't do a lot of clone reviews if any

Elev8 and others may want to open the samples up and take a look at how the switches are secured.....just read a post in another thread of a failure within 2 hours of use....the switch came loose and fell inside... the post said:

"My unit broke within 2 hours of use. I am not hard on my stuff at all and I was babying it, but the fire button fell inside the case. I pulled it apart and found there was nothing but a tiny little dab of hot glue holding it in place. The glue let loose! Not impressed so far!"


EDIT: picture from Illvapes shows inside.....looks like hot glue or silicone?.....you can save this pic to your computer and open it to zoom in to better see the build quality...or click on the pic for a bit larger..

I'll just leave this here

Great news.

 

[truskme]

just received an email from illvapes regarding when ill be getting my clone in:

Hi xxxx,

It depends on when you ordered it. If you ordered during the month of April, it should be in sometime between the 15th and 20th of may.

Best,

Illvapes Team

Everyone check this out. Illvapes noted the same ohm reading issue.

They noted it after everyone called them liars for not telling the truth about their sample LOL

Yep..... their .24 coil is being read as a .6 coil and at 30 watts the voltage should read 4.2 volts for the .6 coil and it is reading 4.1 so the voltage reading is close....

I'm glad to see Elev8 is working with Cloupor to fix the issues they've found. Their customer service and attention to detail is really impressing me.

And it appears the device is attempting to output that 4.2 volts...but it can't.

How does you know it's trying to and cannot

Vapor Joe just gave elv8vape and the clones a positive shout out said preorderers will be very happy

Edit: on ModEnvy

Will any of it come to fruition with the production models is the question?
If it means I gotta wait longer for delivery then so be it. I just dont wanna get yanked around with promises and youtube vids and "customer service" if the goods fall short in the end

Because it determines what voltage to output by the watt setting and the resistance (that it sees) of the atomizer.
So that makes the "settings" above it's limitations
