Wish they sold the empty (unbranded) Hana boxes, they could sell them for $40 no problem and it's easy to pick up dna 30 boards here.

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.

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

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 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
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.

Was literally just being sarcastic, I'll delete the post to avoid any further misunderstandings.
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.
Here are pictures of both chip sets:

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

I'd be in for getting the empty cases....let us know if it can happened....and here is a link for dna's available now....

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. 
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.
