So I bought a "authentic" Hana V3 this weekend from a reputable dealer (a franchise I think).
I paid $160 and was assured it was real. When I got home I did some investigating and it seemed to be a Clouper clone. I contacted hana modz with photos and they confirmed it is a clone. hana modz wants me to provide them with the place and date of my purchase, not sure want to do that. I have not contacted the store where I purchased the devise yet because I'm not sure what I want from them. I don't care that its a clone at all, I just feel I paid too much and their product was misrepresented. I don't really want to return it, I am very happy with the device aside from price and the shop is not close to me. Thoughts or suggestions?

Please tell me you went back and lost your mind on the owner/manager of this store, then walked out with your refund...

I'm a 100% 'more flies with honey than vinegar' type guy, but this is ridiculously unethical.

Not even gonna start on the fact they are selling a ~$70-80 unit for $160.

Sure hope you had a positive resolution.

This may have been asked elsewhere in this thread but I didn't fancy trawling through 700 odd pages - I have a diy enclosure winging it's way too me. I believe it's the latest enclosure by Hotcig - it has the hole for the charge LED and an adjustable 510, it looks great. Anyone know if any of the vinyl wrap manufacturers do a wrap for this version?

here maybe? jwraps.com

I haven't received my Boba's Bounty that I ordered a couple of days ago from Alien Vapor as yet but after backtracking the quote in your post I feel quite mislead (by Alien Vapor). Just now ordered a bottle from Alien Visions. The recently acquired patent by Alien Vapor for sure is were I got duped but fully understand the situation after some research.

The Hana mini 30 from FT seems to be from Hotcig at the moment!!! Just saying ;)

However we never know what we will get, I recently ordered one, I hope I will get the Hotcig, they seems to be awesome good!

I received mine last night. It seems to be really well made, and doesn't have any of the issues reported by others.

The backplate seam does not go through the tank well.
The resistance readings appear to read exactly 0.1 ohm high, on various coils, consistently.
Stealth/Normal mode seems to work as intended.
The green 'charged' LED is positioned well and visible from across the room, even.
The atomizer sits nice and flush, and the center pin even looks to be adjustable (though I haven't need to adjust it for any of my tanks yet).

Only thing I don't like is the stupid logo. Planning to round some corners, possibly hog it out for an 18650 battery, and cerakote it in tan or gray, so the logo will eventually go away.

The security stickers on the chip cover do say "Hotcig".

I've only used it a couple hours, but I am more than happy. In fact, I put in an order for a second one this morning.

LOL that sig still makes me laugh from time to time.

Ask somebody nicely (originally) to correct their post, get called Stalin.

Now back to working on some 5 year plans to convert Mother ECF into a Boba's only, workers paradise! Mwahaha...

The Vapor Shark DNA30 is smaller than the Hanna Modz mini - both have 1200mah LiPo batteries. Now there is also the rDNA with a replaceable 18650 battery.

A photo for size comparisons, that is Herb's Clouper Clone on the left, rDNA center, VS DNA30 with Shark Skin on the right. But both of the Vapor Sharks are considerably more expensive than the clones.

Hi Clint , i just noticed you mentioned a sharkskin wrap (even though i love and appreciate the Clouper and J wraps wrap you sent me , and the NIB Nautilus , incredible , still in shock actually ).

I couldn't help but notice how thick that sharkskin cover looks on the Vaporshark Dna , that looks like heavy duty protection lol.

If your ordering from FT your getting the Hotcig version , no if's and's or butts . Thats not a bad thing because i have heard a lot saying it's fantastic and they like it better than their Cloupor and i have heard many Cloupor owners saying they like theirs more than the FT model .

Depends who you talk to , it's just individual opinions , nothing more nothing less.

still very comfy to use.

The Cloupor buttons are perfectly fine imo , no issues at all with sore fingers (well slammed my finger in a door so my finger is sore) but not due to Cloupor mod.

I spoke with a few who do have the Cloupor and Hotcig versions, they try to sell there Cloupor and ordered already a few other colors Hotcigs... heavy!

Yes I did all heard, gives me comfi feeling now I ordered one.

That logo, it's k doesnt bothering me but seems a lot. people don't like it, even the DIY enclosure case do have that logo :laugh:

I don't know if you knew about this, but there are already 1K lipo batteries available, that will be 2x1000mAh, that not bad at all.
