Are the vceego clones from cloupor?

Probably, but they're advertising them as Hana dna 30 mod Pre-order in VCEEGO, not sure how that will fly with Hana :2c:

Sounds like a match for mine too which is red. It has been dead on also. I've also discovered that need to hit the button a second time to bring it out of sleep mode depends on how much pressure I hit the button with. Tap it and I need to hit a second time to vape, hit it firmly and it fires right away.

Mine does the same thing. As first, I thought it was mis-firing. Then I noticed I had to do that tap trick to wake it up. I guess it's a sound sleeper.

If Hana Modz is going after VaporTekUSA for refering to it as a "Hana Mod Clone" on their facebook, then Hana Modz can go smoke a turd in Hell. I'm kind of curious what their business model even is at this point. It'd be hard for them to claim damages due to lost sales when they can't even fill the pre-orders they did get.

Like I said, this thing is really simple. I halfway think Cloupor made the circuit partition transparent to show off how simple it really is. The only real claim that Hana Modz has to popularity is how quickly they released their DNA30 device. Wouldn't be that hard considering what it is. The reason it was quickly released is also the reason it was quickly cloned. Look at the Vapor Shark and the ZNA30. They're not cloned yet, but they're a little trickier to reproduce.

Seems to me right now that they can't actually do business by getting a product in to the hands of consumers, so they're trying to make money by suing.

I agree. I ordered mine from Vapor Tek because they appeared responsible enough to not use the name or show any logos on their device pictures or website. But upon looking up the docket text, I see that they are suing over screen shots on their Facebook page. I'm assuming those images had the logo?

I wonder if this is what Hana is basing their suit on.. :confused:

After listening to Retird's advice, I started really looking over my dead silver clone's 510 connector. I happened to notice something, that to me appears a bit odd, possibly faulty. The center pin seems to be lacking the rubber gromit that most mods have. I then started thinking that over tightening an addy may result in a direct short. I determined this just from inspection. I did not disect the thing yet, but fully intend to. After seeing what I think is amiss, I started looking at my other mods. Both my ProVaris and both my mechs (sentinal m16 and origen) most definately have a rubber seal of some type around the center pin at the 510 connector. My green cana (still working, no flaws) also appears to be lacking the rubber seal, so I am definately going to be careful with it going forward. In case anyone doesn't know what I am referring to, I have a silver mod from WV and a green from 101. The green is working bear flawlessly, the silver died. I had removed the battery from the silver and let it stand over night. The next morning I put in a fully charged battery. As soon as I put my topper on it began to fire, on its own (no buttons pushed) so I pulled the topper and removed the battery. I then installed a different battery and put the topper back on. Then it immediately just says check atomizer. Everything else seems to work just fine.

It just makes me wonder if this occured because of the no rubber gasket. Really at this point I'm just speculating, I don't even know if the no rubber gasket is a real issue or not, but seems it likely could be.

Like this?

I notched this also. Can't see a grommet.

I do have an aerotank mega, and aerotank. But what I did to test the fit was use the base of a protank 2 with no coil. So it is basically a hollow 510 that I can screw in a see if the positive pin hits the sides. It comes close, but doesn't hit. So I am able to use the aerotank mega with no issues. In fact, I don't want to push out the positive pin on the mega because then it would be pushing on the 510 pin harder when screwed in. I'll try to do this test again and take some pics.

Thanks retired and fergie. The pics fergie posted are the same as cloupor was posting before they started sending them out?

What are the chances that the Feds will start confiscating logo clones at customs I know they do counterfeit clothes.
I'm debating on getting the grey mini on fasttech.
I'm pretty sure (almost) that Illvapes is still shipping out clones so ....... no reports of getting nabbed at customs.

From what they emailed me when they changed my order from awaiting fulfilment to awaiting shipping. They are packaging them up for posting but holding them till they settle with Hana. Then they will all mail at the same time.
If ever !!

Ok , so after seeing this post, I remembered about the old problem with some of the Vamos and other vamo like devices having that O ring or grommet insulator go bad and people would replace them. So I took a small slicone o ring off a bad aspire bdc head as it was the smallest I could find, and clipped out a small bit (approx 1mm) so that it would fit better and stuffed it around the center pin in the 510 connector on my replacement clone. So I guess now only time will tell. Something I did notice after doing this, is instead of a "Shorted" message that I got when I initially put my Zenith V2 on it (prior to adjusting the center pin out) I now get "Check atomizer." Which is the message I would expect to get if the center pin wasn't making contact. This is a possible solution to prevent an center pin atomizer short that is suspected of being the cause of several fried canas.

I posted a couple times- at Miami Vapefest, there were so many real Hana mods it made my head spin. At least six vendors had all colors, including all minis, with PLENTY of back up stock on each. So the whole "limited availability" stuff was just a crock to make it appear as an "exclusive" elite product to create demand at a higher price then the market would otherwise dictate.

However- I don't think they were the first in this market to do this, and they won't be the last.

Same here. Retird has proven himself a considerate, thoughtful member of the vaping community. These mean-spirited, disrespectful responses by noobs are confusing when no one can offer any proof that Retird's findings are wrong.

I for one appreciate the info that retird has graciously compiled. It is factually unimpeachable and everybody is free to draw their own conclusions. I don't see any problem with that.
