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

[bsumpter]

My FT DNA20 Hana clone arrived today. So far, so good! The machining looks very nice, and the anodization is well done and clean. I'm not a huge fan of how the boards are glued into the case, but I understand the original Hana was put together in the same manner. I've tested the charge functions, and in my case I get a red light when charging, and it goes out completely when its finished (no green at all). Resistance measures between 0.1 and 0.2 ohms higher than my Vamo reports.

My only real complaint is that the fire button is smaller than I'm used to, and quite stiff compared to my Vamo or iTaste VV3 buttons. I'm hoping it will loosen up a bit with use, otherwise I may need to start sourcing a replacement button.

Overall though, I'm very happy with the device.

Ok so I am no Techi whatsoever......just trying to see if this helps anyone. Here is a picture of the Charger that I use on all my devices it belongs to my Sampsung Tablet, as you can see in the second picture I have several, 2 are from Hotcig, 1 is from Cloupor and of course the vapor shark......all the clones give me a green light after approximately 5 hours charging time, I am using vct 5s on all three. Hope this helps?????

I ordered directly from the dude. He is building it this week and sending it out in a week or two, went with the silver, same as that guy a few pages back.

It helps *me* see that you are very lucky if you got three clones that are all showing a green light when charged.
Seriously, though, I think we have seen that some of the clones, (including mine), have a charging circuit that has an LED that is not going to turn green. Charger, cable, battery, and charge time are not relevant. What we (I) would like to know is why- Is it a different LED, different charging circuit board, or other?

 

[Drips Ahoy!]

Didn't retired report in to us awhile back that his clone may be dangerous?.....then radio silence.....sure hope he's ok.....

Do the FT Hana clones have an actual DNA chip? Or is it an SX chip or something different altogether?

Me? I pulled the trigger on red. Waited an hour and had sudden regret, and changed to a silver.

Curious about this too.

 

[Yotdawglife]

Not to get too OT, but what safety things should we be concerned about retird?

Also just speaking with the owner and to see how genuinely passionate he was about his device, I was smitten.

Sorry Gar I know it must be frustrating, I can tell you that whenever I have charged one them using one of our IPhone chargers they have never turned Green. I guess this is going to be a never ending mystery until somebody gets really ...... and takes their unit apart to check the LEDs.....Oh wait I thing Retird did that already right? Oh well just trying to help

I think ALL the clones have a copy of a DNA chip , i don't think any have a real Evolve DNA chip but i could be wrong. The good thing about Fasttech is they are priced at $52.00 and $56.00 and they have a very long return policy so if something happens even after a month of using it no problem.

From all the research i did most say all the clones regardless of maker are essentially the same and function the same , if thats the case i'll pay the cheapest price with the longest warranty.

If you take a good look at them on FT's site they look identical to the other clones i have seen.

I'm impatient, and when I ordered the red was the only color that would ship immediately. After getting it, I'm really glad I chose the red! It looks great!

I was meaning more the FT Clone on that post lol as far as Silver its a color you can't go wrong on

 

[MrBeo]

Thanks - Guess I will also get the Red one as it Does look awesome!

I don't think the clone meant his standards and rather than bash them in their thread thread he took the high road and moved on....

Just kidding

Thanks, Iceclouds for the input.
What could be a bit helpful is if you could possibly let us know the specs on the back of the Samsung charger you are using that appears to work. I was in the retail electronics biz for years so I have countless wall warts around the house, as well as USB 2 and USB 3 charging sources. There are dozens of others in this thread with as much or more experience then myself as well. No one has come up with the exact cause (or reason) that I have seen so far.
Look forward to the specifications.
Gary

Is that the mini sized one from FastTech or the full sized one?
