Hana modz fake or not

[JHoun90]

Someone locally is selling a hana modz 30 watts for 60 bucks. Don't know if I should go for it. Sorry the forum still won't allow me to post pics. h ttp://s9.postimg.org/taoako2bz/IMG_117783342356811.jpg

That one is fake my friend.

Edit: The charge light is in the wrong place.

Best think too do, is if you can - remove the rear panel and sent another picture. But I'm betting my days wage it is indeed fake.

I recently purchased a genuine (and still sent photos too hana modz) for £160, which was still cheapish (for the mini).

Thanks for the quick reply. How do you know? Just in case I run into this situation again.

Are they telling you that they are Hana's or are they showing you the mod with Hana printed on it.
I'd be very suspicious, I don't think you can buy a Hana for less than a couple hundred.

The main give aways are;

1. The charging icon should be in the lower left of the mini usb connector

2. There isn't any numbers on the front genuine ones.

3. When removing the 2 rear screws, the electronics will be covered with a dark red (yet slightly transparent) plastic with 2 'hana modz' security tags on top of it. Clones have black plastic stickers over it or none at all.

4. When 'firing' from off, on a genuine you can vape straight off the bat without waiting for the 'hana modz' name too disappear from the lid screen

I hope this helps

Edit: I've just noticed that on the one in question, the charging port is upside down compared to a genuine

Appreciate it. I ended up quesitoning his post. He admitted it was a clone.

Following on from this.

A fellow work colleague has a Hana Modz v3 (not sure which clone) and it is very good.

I personally cant tell any great difference between his and mine..

Theres nothing wrong with a clone if you cant afford the £150 / $200
