So I went ahead and purchased a Cana Modz after raving from everyone I've talked to but haven't been seeing what the hype is for. I like to drip and will throw an rda at .3 ohms on my mod at 30 watts and will only get half the performance I would throwing the same rda on a mechanical mod. Is anyone else having this issue? I would really like to make the Cana my go-to. Please, no responses saying I should have gotten the Hana; all my research shows that they are not that different. Thanks!

.3 ohms on a mechanical (assuming 4.2 volts) is 14 amps and 58 watts.
.3 ohms at 30 watts is 10 amps at 3 volts.
Yep, that's about half!
Honestly, the strength of higher-powered mods (at least in my opinion) is their ability to power higher resistance coils. Sub-ohm, especially when you start to get under 0.4/0.5 ohms, are better suited to mechs.
Just my
need to raise your ohms on your builds to get the most out of dna type mods, try 1+ ohms
Your .3 build on a mech with a fresh battery is more than 30 watts.
Try building to a higher resistance. Around 1 ohm.
More coil surface area will help.
Using a low sub ohm build with a regulated cana is not the way to go.

You're doing it wrong.
Like others have said, DNA30 is suited for things .6Ω and above. Where it really has it's advantage is the ability to boost to 30W on 1Ω - 2Ω coils.

I'm running a .5 ohm on a Fogger tank and to get it to a point to regulate I have to go up to 29.7 watts on my Cana. If you run anything lower ohm than that, it just goes straight to battery mode.
A higher ohm will allow you to hit the proper voltage for the mod to regulate up. Your mech only delivers straight voltage and it's capped at 4.2 while something like a 1.0 ohm coil will be able to hit 5.4 volts at 30 watts, thus why people prefer higher ohms on a 30 watt device.
30 watts really isn't desirable at anything below .6 so if you like to subohm drip, I recommend you upgrade to a 50-100w device. It's amazing for tanks and Magmas though.

A higher ohmbuild will have more wraps and allow you to utilize a coil that would have more more surface area. This translates to a better Vape for me.
Best results for me seem to be 1 to 1.3 ohm builds.
The dna30 does not down regulate. So a .3 ohm build will never use the regulation. The chip will just provide straight battery voltage.
Building a higher ohm coil allows you to Vape that coil at wattages impossible to achieve on a mech.

That's why I went with an sx350 board on my latest mod. I love my rdna with 1+ohm builds but like that I can switch my sub ohm mech toppers to my atlas and experience a nice steady hard hitting vape through the charge.
Sx350 boards have buck/boost and can take a higher voltage from the batt and step it down before pushing a lower voltage to the atty. that increases amperage proportionately. And boost takes a lower voltage and ramps it up before pushing a higher voltage to the atomizer, decreasing amperage.
