Hcigar DNA30 18650 (TBA) or Cana 30 or ???

[Hammy75]

Hi all. I am wanting to get a new box mod for taking to work. I would like it to be small, which is why I am leaning towards the hcigar. Does anybody have any experience with it? I haven't been able to find much on it. I know many are big fans of the Cana but it seems like it would be too big. I would like to stay around 100$ (CDN) and preferably have an 18650 but am open to built in lipos.

I use a nautilus mini and Aerotanks. Currently have an MVP (a little tall), vamo (just too big and flashy even in 18350 mode) and an itaste VV V3 (brutal battery life).

Essentially I can certainly get by with what I have and possibly adding another VV but what fun would that be. Also looking for something with a little more power as I am going to try some RDAs for around the house. I am also open to other suggestions if the mood should strike you. Thanks

Edit: the hcigar is 95$ and comes with a Sony VTC4 the Cana is 100$ and does not come with a battery.

Look up the "tool king" on youtube. He did a review on the hcigar i think, NOT A SAFE DEVICE. It has a serious design flaw. As for size vs cost probably the sigelei 50watt or ipv2s. Both around 89-99 bucks us.

Thanks ironmaiden1 for the tip on the Hcigar. Looks like that one is off the short list. I have seen a lot of negative reviews for the IPV2 and a lot of positive. I think the QC is the cause of all the negative ones. I will look into the sigelei as I don't know much about it.

The IPV2s is the new version of the ipv 2. comes already upgraded to 60 watts with a few other nice improvements over the ipv2 one of them being its water resistant.

Cloupor is much better than the HCigar (hotcig, fastech, same thing) but I would go with any IPV over any of the Hana boxes (clone or not).

IPV has a wider range of usable regulated power, that alone makes it win out to me. Extra power (esp with the version 2 or 3) does not hurt either.

The form factor and the box itself of the Hana are superior IMO, but thats about it. The IPV box is a little cheap feeling by comparison and the charging port is in a horrible location, but again as far as what is under the hood it kills the dna30 and its clones.

I did a fair amount of research on the DNA30 style but ultimately placed a pre-order on a IPV3 from eciggity.com. The IPV2 can be had for 89.99 at Welcome to Vapin' in the Cape - THE 'Original' VAPE STORE! Often imitated.....NEVER Duplicated

If you are dead set on the DNA30 type and an original Hana Modz is out of the question I would go with the Cloupor Cana. I have seen it varying from 64-100 Here is one for 89.00 vapor north Cana Mod DNA30 Greenhouse has their DNA30 listed for 63.99 and said it was manufactured by Cloupor they are also a registered supplier with this site as well. Ppl also seem to like their Fasttech versions but I have no experience with any of the sites I linked or mentioned just simply basing my own opinions off of my own research

I was in this same boat recently and the Cana was on my list at first. I read a great many threads, watched youtube vids and this and that. One reason I went with P4Y is the warranty the IPV comes with a 12 month warranty. Nothing against Cloupor but when doing research for the T8 I found their warranty to be less sound. Glitches and bugs happen so a warranty seemed important for me. Hope you lock in on what you want and get a solid device that pleases you.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The only reason I wasn't considering the higher wattage devices is I usually vape between 9 and 10 watts. This will probably change when I get into RDAs. The search goes on for now and thanks again for the input. It is certainly appreciated.
