Building a "hana" style mod with the fasttech enclosure: looking for tips, tricks, and suggestions

[Spiceman1967]

So, maybe this has been posted already, or maybe I am completely missing something. I just went to fastech to order some more Hana enclosures, and they don't seem to be carrying them anymore. Anyone else see what I am seeing? That will suck out loud if it is true.

I do a lot of shopping at fasttech so I'll check it out and report. Don't get all excited, tomorrow's the first day of Chinese New Year so if you ordered right now it wouldn't ship for probably a month.

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

They're not gone. They seem to been have removed from the search system.

And if you want temp control: http://www.fasttech.com/products/3032/10007864/2147200

They also have a dna 70 but the box is different.

I couldn't find them on FT any more Sad cause the last one I got was nice it has a spring loaded 510. Here's another link never bought any thing there but the chip holder looks nice

You just need one active link and then you can choose any hana clone version from the option menu.

I found it because I needed to order another mini to gut and convert and couldn't find them.

I went to my previous order, clicked the SKU and voila

This time I ordered a grey one though.

Let's see if it doesn't take too long. I went for the tnt Netherland shipping option but it hasn't arrived there yet.

I went to my last order SKU1785704 and now it's a chip not an enclosure If there still there I can't find them

 

[tchavei]

Oh you meant the enclosure only.... Sorry

I thought you were talking about the mod's.

The mini is only 68mm so I had to order the mini mod to gut it because it's 72mm and 18650 can be made to fit.

Yeah, the empty ones. I have some large screen DNA40s I was gonna throw in them. Oh well, looks like they will go in some Hammond boxes.

Yeah, I liked the FT ones. They worked great with my first two DNA40s. I will check these out. Thanks for the link.

Incidentally, the cradles included with some of the new enclosures aren't totally suited to the 40.

To start off with the chip goes in a different direction so that the battery/charge pinout is at at the top - you've got no choice in the matter as the hole for the screen ribbon is up at the top too - it's a pity because the concept is actually pretty decent as the cradle secures the tactiles without having to use glue, you can screw the charge board on to it.

I was fortunate enough to have access to a 3d printer so I replicated DarthPistachio's cradle using sketchup and printed one out - certainly tidies everything up, the only glue I used was some epoxy to secure the charging board and tactiles.
It's not perfect but it's clean-ish;

Now if I get sick of the enclosure, I can de-solder the tacts/510 and take the board out.

Nice job. It looks great. A lot cleaner than most commercial mods!

Wow they are gone! I'm glad I ordered two "in reserve" a while back because they are really easy to use box.

Maybe they just have been taken down because of the trade mark violation of "hana".

BTW the buttons that came with the FT hana case are really ..... After about 4 months of use the button is now extremely iffy, sometimes not firing, sometimes firing, and sometimes just putting me into locked mode. It's really best to order the original buttons before you epoxy them in.

 

[tchavei]

Yep. First thing I did besides ripping out the clone board was to get the original buttons.

I always do the same, the original C&K tacts are only about 90 Cents and much better than the clone buttons.
C&K are the same manufacturer that Provape use for the Provari - they last forever.

 

[tchavei]

Well they cost over $4 here but still a good investment :/
