I wish i would have known that. Is there a difference in the black and the other colors? The black and grey are 56.00 and the red and blue are 48.88. I wasnt sure if they were different since the price was different. Anyone know?

That is a very good question, which I do not know the answer too, maybe someone can find out *COUGH Nikki* :laugh:
Don't hurt yourself there wondering, that's a bad cough you've got ;)

A few days ago, when they restarted the latest group buy with the HANAA box again, they had posted something about how they'd been selling the box since mid June with customers happy and that they'd gotten many from the vendor who now was offering them a less expensive price on it. So I'd assume that the black and grey ones are the originally offered ones from June based on the initial cost from the vendor and the newly listed red and blue ones reflect the lower cost ones but they're all the same thing.

I received both of my items from the USA Warehouse today -- 2 days from ordering! With free shipping now less. Very impressive.

Less so that there was no printed invoice inside the envelope, but I saved a copy on my computer.

I purchased the Plume Veil clone from unknown manufacturer which came in a simple rectangular, albeit colorful, generic paper box marked "atomizer." The delrin dome was stuck inside the top cap, and from the looks of it was inserted before the drilling of the 2 top cap holes. Both holes were blocked with delrin particles and I had to poke inside with some kanthal to clean it out. Aside from the delrin piece, the rest of the PV was looking good. After what seemed like hours to wrench the pieces free and clean it and clear to air channels, the atomizer does perform well. Only other issue is the 510 connection is too large from my ohm reader.

The other item I purchased with the Stingray X. I recently received the $19.99 101Vape SS Stingray and was enjoying it, but the SXK Stingray X blows it away. Not a rough edge on it, has a nice heft to it, and it is the hardest hitting mech I own currently. Only issue was that the delrin insulator in the firing switch it loose and popped free while I was testing the switch during inspection. The firing contact wasn't screwed in tight either. Both are non-issues, since it doesn't impact performance and since I know about the delrin, I'll keep an eye on it.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the transaction and the lightning quick ship from the USA Warehouse.

That is awesome to hear :) The warehouse agent is clearly more on his game so FC should be happy about that. For me, after the Stingray X I don't need another tube mod, I can't imagine another mech having anything to out do the SXK Stingray X. But I did name it the best mechanical mod in 2014. :D

How does the group buy work? I purchased the dna30 clone today. Do they ship when you purchase or do they wait until the group buy is over and then ship?

Group Buys are like co-ops or pre-orders .. The orders are processed together at the end of the Group Buy and shipped usually 3-5 days after the Group Buy ends. For some Group Buys FC will ship orders in waves, so after the first 100 sold they will, and then a second batch shipping after.

It is important to read all details for each Group Buy, and to also purchase a tracking # if you want one. Group buy shipping does not come with tracking unless you pay for it.

I can skype Doris and ask, but I won't get an answer until tomorrow night .. Since we are on the topic, I found out who the manufacturer is on the Group Buy Hana clone, it is Kangside/KSD, which in opinion is a good thing. For those who don't know, KSD is the original manufacturer of the first VAMO VV. Not all of the many subsequent copies of the VAMO, but the original one.

Shenzhen Kangside are OG's in the china manufacturing game so the prolly why everyone is so happy with their Hana clones .. zoiDman put up to the task of finding a Hana mini that was NOT made by Hotcig, and I found not only the mini Hana but also the group buy Hana. :D Now you know where your new toy came from, and why it doesn't suck like the Hotcig does :laugh:

    Well now you posted that, if the blue one is also KSD, then going to be even more tempted by the blue one, especially for that price ;)

    Does this mean that focalecig is finally going to carry the mini Hana clone? I'd really like the smaller form factor.

    Ordered a Hann Mod DNA 30, 9.11.14 from the group buy and have not received a shipping notice 9.13.14

    Wasn't sure if you caught this, from a couple of pages back:

    Group Buys are like co-ops or pre-orders .. The orders are processed together at the end of the Group Buy and shipped usually 3-5 days after the Group Buy ends. For some Group Buys FC will ship orders in waves, so after the first 100 sold they will, and then a second batch shipping after.

    Ordered the Hana last night and today the order status says shipped. This morning I ordered a black TOBH 2.5 to go with it but fc doesn't have a black drip tip that I like. :(

    FT has a lot of drip tips to choose from, so check them out. :)

    Oh, I cannot say that for sure. A member asked me to check into the Hana mini, I found it and sent the info to Doris, but they will decide if they carry it or not. If she tells me that she will then I will let you guys know of course. I think they should carry it, but again that is not my choice ... My influencing and lecturing usually works though :laugh:
