K well I ordered the pink one anyways. While I was sitting on my hands I seen the stock count drop from 8 to 3 and could not contain myself any longer. Bet I will like it one way or the other. Thanks.

Yep, I ordered the same one. I have one on my red, so ordered another for my blue. It's been about 9 days now. Did you order from Jwraps?
I ordered a clear carbon wrap for mine and to my surprise it arrived in 2 daysPutting it on tonight.
If I have a fresh VTC5 with that build on it and I'm just hanging out Vaping every couple minutes I can get upwards of 5 hours before I have to throw it on the charger. But that doesn't mean it's completely dead, just that IMO it needs to be placed on a charger. Now ive never timed it and I'm not saying it's an exact science (every 2 minutes take one vape) lol but it seems to last about that long with decent use.

5 hours at every two minutes? Not bad. I got quite a few of the 4s. Dang it! Now I gotta try the 5.
I use purple Efests (3100mAh) in my Hana v3 and my clone and I get almost a full day out of them. Strangely tho, the clone's battery drains quicker than the Hana. Maybe the battery indicator on the clone is not as accurate. I haven't actually checked the voltage, I just plug them into a charger
yep..both @ 16W. Next time, before I charge I'll measure the batteries and see
First, I'll say that I absolutely love this mod. I take better care of it than I do myself.
I have my Tugboat on it, and my original build was coming in at like .38 Ohms. That went through batteries like crazy. Redid the coils a couple days ago to bring the build in at like .67ish (which the Hana picks up as .7), and it's much better in terms of battery life.
I've also noticed a fairly significant difference in battery life between the VTC4 & VTC5. The 5 lasts longer and when I'm using/charging via passthrough, it also charges quicker.
One VTC5 will typically last me most of the day. In the morning when I wake up, I'll typically unscrew the back and swap out the battery for a fully charged one. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Appreciate the input btw!
EDIT: I'd echo what Macnasty said as far as timing/battery life, considering we have a very similar build. The moral of the story is that (IMO) the VTC5 will get you more mileage, which considering the additional mAh it has over the VTC4, shouldn't come as a shock. I should learn the research stuff better before posting questions, lol.

I've been vaping on my Hana for a bit over a week now (one of the vape shops in my city got an order in, and were kind enough to hold a black one for me for a week since they came in between paychecks. Shout out to the kind folks at Vape Central Phoenix Vape Shop (not a vendor just a happy customer, my "primary" vape shop is actually Vapor Vortex in Scottsdale - Phoenix Arizona Electronic Cigarettes | Joyetech | eVic | Innokin | VTR | Vapor Vortex but they have varying selections/brands).
Been using it with my Kayfun Lite Plus v2 @ 1.0 ohms, and my cheapie Smok Caterpillar RDA with a 0.55 ohm dual coil setup, and I've been blown away with the build quality, battery life (with a VTC 5 even vaping @ 27w-30w on the dripper, I've never gone below ~50% battery even chain-vaping for an afternoon), and the consistency and power of the DNA 30. I've also used an Efest IMR 30 amp (the 2100 mAH one that is I believe a re-wrapped vtc4?) with no difference over than a bit of battery life as expected.
I charge my batteries on a dedicated charger rather than inside the mod except when using as a passthrough, not because of any issue with the built-in charger but simply because if something should happen to go wrong, I'd rather destroy a $40 charger than my mod that cost me over 6x as much! I think having to deal with a couple screws once a day is worth the peace of mind.
Anyway I just felt like gushing over it a bit and offering the last bit about charging as food for thought.

Congratulations on the new Hana!
I keep KFL+ toppers on mine -- that is, until yesterday. Not to go too far off topic, but the last four builds, using a rayon wick, was giving me dry hits. Never had that problem before. Took off the Kayfun and put on an Aspire Nautilus with the same juice, and everything was good again. The juice was a 67PG/33VG mix. I'm thinking the juice may for some reason be too thin for the rayon.
Never used Efest before, but I'm hearing so many good things about them recently, I'll have to give them a try.

I find it really strange that these aren't more popular and talked about here. I just read through 42 pages and most the posts there are from 2 people...mekereid and nic_fix! 
You guys are great by the way...I'm dying to see a video of nic_fix crushing 30ml in one sitting. 
Anyways, I can't believe more people aren't raving about this mod. I guess it comes down to a few possibilities:
1. Mechs are currently the most popular thing on the market.
2. The great majority of the vaping world is cheap (they really are) and happy with clones. Personally, if I carry something with me all day, everyday, (gun, knife, wallet, mod) I get a lot of pleasure knowing I'm carrying quality. I guess I just like shiny things that perform reliably.
3. That lawsuit really ...... a lot of people off. I for one respect intellectual property and would sue in a heartbeat if my property was stolen in such a manner....even if it is "just a logo". Hell, the maker of the TOBH just completely changed his logo because of Chinese cloners, and that's bullcrap, imo.
4. Scarcity. These mods have been extremely rare and hard to come by these past few months.
These are just my ideas. But yeah, so I ordered a Polished V3 and I'm looking forward to it. I used a provari for 2 years straight, just dripping on those 8 dollar attys, because carto tanks were so awful back then. Now that I'm getting into rebuildables and tanks have evolved to the point where they are actually great, it'll be fun to push the amps up higher than the old provari can handle, and get that regulated experience at higher wattage. Now, if only I could find a skin I like.

I couldn't agree more! Absolutely on point on everything you said. I love mine and happy to hear there are others out there who feel the same way. One thread -- with thousands of posts -- try to convince themselves that their device is just as good as the Hana. It's cheaper in price and quality. I understand the difference in price, but I would rather save and buy an original than a clone any day. I guess that's just the way I'm wired.

I ordered from Vapor Skinz. I decided not to use it, because I either royally screwed up the installation or it wasn't cut exactly correct. I lined up the front screen perfect and when I went to wrap the rest around the side, there was still about an 1/8 inch gap down the entire body exposed. The very top piece wasn't perfect, either.. I may try one from jwraps, I'll think about it. I love the feel and look of the raw body.
On another note, here's my new black KayFun lite clone from EHPro. Don't mind the dust on the Hana, I didn't notice it when I took the photo.
IMG_20140707_180812 by XxNitr0x, on FlickrI have had my gunmetal V3 for almost two weeks, and I love it. I have a VTC 5 in it, which is quite an amazing battery. I run carto tanks that are about 1.6 ohms and usually have it set at 10 watts. Battery seems to last forever.
Yikes!! That is a good looking combo!
The wrap on my red is from Jwraps and it fit perfectly. Unfortunately, it's worn pretty good by now and the adhesive is starting to separate from the mod. As far as I can tell, the second one for my blue one hasn't even shipped after about 10 days. Not sure what's up with that, but I've come to expect better service on items like that. I'll be on the lookout for another vendor. Will keep you posted if I find something interesting.

You guys are killing me with the VTC 5 tributes!! I have 4 of the VTC 4 and I thought I was all set with batteries for awhile. There's no way I can keep reading raves about the VTC 5 without trying it for myself.
Ugghhh....
