***Just posted this on another Thread and thought I would share***
Hey guys, I know there is not too many people reading the thread anymore, but I wanted to put in my two cents worth since I have several of this units. I have a Vapor Shark
dna 30, and I also have a Hotcig
dna 20 a Hotcig DNA 32 and 2 Cloupor units one from the original batch back at the end of May and another from this most recent batch which I picked up from WetVapes. I am not an electrician or electronics expert and have used only my VS DNA 30 as comparison so here is my take from an ordinary guy's point of view:
1. Hotcig DNA 20.....Piece of garbage no need to waste time discussing it (only works with builds of 2.2 and above)
2. Hotcig DNA 32.....Well built box, the finish is tremendous and the color is great. The inside is EXTREMEMLY CLEAN....very little glue/epoxy and the wires are all short (so no spaghetti cables). This unit only performs well with builds of 1.1 to about 2.0 it reads the ohms about .3 higher thus making it fire with a lower voltage....once you go below .9 and kick it up to 25+watts the readings go to hell, it seems to double up on the actual voltage i.e. .7 build reads at 1.3...it pretty much goes crazy, this could be due to the style 510 pin they are using, it is actually adjustable it has a "flathead screw driver top" which you can turn clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust, the problem with it is that as you screw in your Attys is spins (it also spins inside the box twisting the positive wire). It is a real shame that this unit is this bad because it is very well put together.
3. Cloupor Blue First Batch: without going into the normal things that everyone has talked about (2 clicks to wake up and fire, the screen mysteriously lighting up) thus far the finish has maintained flawless, it will occasionally fire on the first click and the green light DOES turn on when charging is completed. I have used several attys and clearos on this unit....Protank 2 ad 3 Aspire Nautilus I Clear 30s, Kayfuns ad Kayfun lites and they all fire without problem. Once you go below .9 I can tell you that neither of the Cloupor units hit Nearly as hard as the VS DNA 30 there is definitely less power being put out by the Cloupor units at high Wattage uses.
3. Cloupor Silver most recent batch: this newest version has "some" improvement....the 510 pin is indeed smaller, to my eyes the finish is a little better (I can not see any of the swirl marks that were present before around the fire button and back cover, the screen DOES NOT, I repeat DOES NOT turn on by itself (even with my cell phone next to it for hours, so they apparently have fixed that issue), this unit "seems" to hit harder then the one from the first batch, although still not as hard as the VS DNA 30. There is NO green light to speak of.....it will stay red for a century if you let it (this is the first of all my units without the green light) and most importantly.....if FIRES on the first click ALL THE TIME......
As I said I am no expert just a guy with a Hobby and a little time to play with all this toys......I have seen and read all the bad and a little of the good in this thread ( I know everyone is trying to help) but in my humble opinion "For the money" this units (Cloupor not Hotcig which is the same as he FT units) are worth it again IMHO I do not see them as a dangerous threat, a fire hazard or an incendiary device, am I a cloud chaser NO and do I tread my toys with care YES (that could be the difference) I believe that both Novice and Expert will enjoy these units (especially the updated versions).
Thaks guys, I have no idea what I am going to do with the extra 4 hours a day that I used to spend reading this thread.....ha ha ha!!!
Contact your Senators and Congressmen/Women......we may not have any of this in the near future....
