Well I was so happy to see the Hanaa dna 30 go back up as a group buy again! I didn't buy one before because I have been reading a thread on a DIY 50W box mod folks are building, it looked like a fun project and it was cheaper, or so I thought. I had seen a parts lists for the project set up the way I wanted it built and checked the prices, I figured about $30 for the kit. But I went to order the parts today and realized the list didn't include the main board. :facepalm: I was kicking myself all afternoon that I had let the deal on the Hanaa slip by. Then I went to focal tonight to see what's new and OMG!! It's back up! I ordered it up right away and did a happy dance!

Thanks Nikkita for keeping this thread going, your great photos & reviews, advice and for working so close with Doris to bring us great stuff at such great prices! :) :) :)

Aww honey that is awesome ... I might have to copy and paste this for my honey boo Doris who accused me of "babysitting" her today? :ohmy: I guess I ask too many questions about what she is doing, how she is doing, and telling her whether I think its good enough :laugh: But its all for the love of the game, and making sure that we get good stuff to buy :D

I am just glad some people offered feedback about their Hana clone because the question gets asked so often. And cheers to you darling for finally scoring one too. But I can't lie, I did get a little giggle from your story about wanting to build a box mod and not realizing that you needed to buy a board for it, which is the most costly part too. :p

Speaking of MVP V2.0 and the 30W clone box...

How do they compare size wise? The MVP V2.0 is about as big of a box as I'm comfortable with.

Visual aid to go with the dimensions posted earlier by zoiDman.

It's a tad thicker and wider, but shorter, than the MVP but much more pocket friendly with the 510 only connector.

I was mildly curious about who manufactures the FC HANAA boxes. Desire-ecig is running a group buy on the HANAA (for about the same price FC had it for) and in the discussions tab a Desire rep states the box is made by KGO Tech. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing... all I know is that it's a thing. And this assumes it's the same box (HANAA name would indicate it is).

Shipping is $3.99 for the "8-15 day business day" option. The free shipping option states up to forty business days, lol.

I'm almost tempted to buy another one but know nothing of Desire-ecig's reputation as a vendor. Thoughts?

    I've not got one of these box mods, but if your happy with the one from focal and want another, why risk going with another vendor?

    Not saying anything bad about Desire, but I know nothing about them so can't say if any good either.

    Reasonable point. The FC one is now $56 rather than the $44 from the group buy. But, I guess by the time shipping is added from Desire, the difference is only $8 - which probably isn't worth taking the chance.

    :blink: The FC one is on Group Buy again, for $43.90. Is there a reason why you wouldn't go with that one (is it different from the $56 version), or are you just curious about Desire's version?

    ^^^What cindy said, yes is back on group buy, brought back by popular demand ;)

    Got my group buy DNA30 from focal yesterday and all I can say is WOW! Love this thing and gave my IPV V2 to my son last night. Fits in my hand a lot better and the charging plug isn't on the bottom like the IPV. Only thing I don't like is the clicky buttons. I much prefer the silent ones! Sounds like one of my kids popping their little finger joints and makes me nuts.

    Sounds like a Nice Clone.

    Does yours have a Charging Light?

    Yes, exactly like the one pictured earlier. It kind of looks like it's inside the box next to the charging port so doesn't show on the outside but is easily seen when plugged in.

    I kinda figured there was. But for the Life of me, I Couldn't see one in any of the FC Pictures. Thanks TamiPac

    When I get my FT Refund, I'll probably have to get one of these.

    Hope everybody is having a great start to their Friday evening :)

    Heres some more Kato Box mod vape porn for your viewing pleasure :D

    Found another use for my Huron Style Hybrid to 510 adapter, makes a great extension for my 18650 Kato Style Box mod :D

    Added the GP Style top cap to it and mounted it on my Kato like this:

    Allows me to use my Drippers on it now :)

    Here is the Magma:

    BOOM! Didn't realize they had put it back up for a group buy. Decision made. No reason at all now to order the Desire group buy unit. Thanks!
