Dunno if this topic has fall back to page 4 or further, but couldn't find it.

Whats your guys take on it?

hana modz V3:

+ Built in charger (pass through)
+ Fits all 22mm (or smaller) attys flush

- Just 1 battery size (18650)


ZNA:
+ Fits 3 battery sizes
+ Easy to change battery
+ Outstanding design (like it or hate it)

- Looks odd with longer battery tube
- Not all devices sits flush

Its funny, I can only name 2 major USP's for the Hana but Im more attracted to it..

I bought the Hana. With the power options of the DNA 30 I would rather have the 18650 at all times. I know you can get an 18650 tube for the ZNA but it really destroys the looks of it when you do.

You are so lucky!! I have been F5ing and chasing down EVERY listed retailer but its impossible to find one!! :(

Makes you wonder what they were thinking. A 18490, not far from strapping a 30w power house to a ego,

Haha, goodluck with that ;)

Not sure what the max amps is in the 18490 batteries, I don't own any so not sure if you can safely run at the 10 amp limit of the DNA 30 or not. I don't run anything less then .7 ohms currently so I would probably be fine with 18490's, but I like having the option. I would have to use the ZNA in 18490 mode only I hate the look of it in 18650 and I don't want to buy another $50 tube.

I would love to have ZNA to go with my Hana, I could certainly use it with my Kayfuns that don't have subohm builds in them. I just can't get myself to by another $250+ mod, one was enough for at least a few months.

I have been thinking about this question for a while now.. I think I am going with Hanas because all the devices fit flush. I like the looks of the ZNA much better but I can't stand it when a device doesn't fit flush.

It will probably be a month or 2 before either of these will be easily obtainable so I have some time to think about it

Anyone have an idea of the general availability this device will have? I don't think I'll be able to purchase or preorder anything until the second week of March :(

Back on topic, I have to agree that the ZNA is a love it or hate it. Personally, I don't/can't keep F5ing my browser on ENS in hopes to get one.

They have pumped out over 600 so far... 200 per week since launch. Demand for it way exceeded expectations. There will be several thousand made.. until demand is met. I have one, its worth waiting for. I think in the next 1-2 weeks after another 200-400 have been released it should start becoming way easier to obtain.

I considered the Hana. In the end im not a box mod guy. Just looks so ... non-elegant? Is that a word? Something about carrying a box of metal in your pocket, feels like a science project. Totally opinion- lots of people love box mods for some reason.

Yeah the hana has passthru charging. But like you say, changing on the go is kinda hard if you have been away from a power source all day. The Hana is bigger than the ZNA as far as its overall footprint in your pocket goes.

For me, i wanted a few things. #1, small. I considered the Hana mini. But that leads to #2... i wanted to change a battery whenever i wanted, and didnt want to feel i had to tether or else id have my PV die. Thats a really big thing for me.

Ive held both, and the Hana felt too bulky. Well built though, sturdy. The Hana mini was extremely cool but the built in battery is what made my mind up. The ZNA is what i ended on and i really, really like it. It is built ultra heavy duty- feels stronger than my provari by far. And I reallllly like the looks of it. You wont find a smaller DNA mod with a changeable battery, period.

I got a hana full sized and its worth it. They have always been somewhat difficult to obtain, and I got lucky in getting mine. I stalked riverwalkvapors facebook and website and pounced on it when they put up the ten or so bigs, and 15 minis. I know ssvapes has a crap load of pre ordered ones, and they say march is the expected month that they will get them, but alot of people wont see them until april/may. Evolv is making this even harder because they arent able to keep up with demand either. It all rolls down hill. I know Hana is just waiting on chips to complete their product.
