I have to agree with Topwater, it all depends on what you trying to get out of it. My Hana V3 has become my go to device for everything. If I want to something that won't leak and will last all day I'll throw my KFL+ on it set it to 13 watts and walk away. If I want more vapor I will stick my IGO-W with a subohm coils on it kick it up to 23 watts and vape away.

I use mine every day so it was well worth the money for me. If you are going to only use it everyone once in awhile or are never going to go above 11 watts it may not be worth it for you. I can tell you I don't regret buying it, and if I lost all my gear it would be the first device I bought again (if I could find one).

I've been vaping for around 1.5 years and over the last few months I have realized that I spend a LOT of time with an e-cig in my hand. Therefore, I am willing to spend what it takes, within my own limits, to get what I want. That doesn't mean I just go nuts and buy expensive gear - but the Hana dna30 has a pretty expensive parts list. And it's not like they're going to sell millions of them. And the fact is you're just not going to get anything better for less anytime soon. I would get one . . but it's not the right time for me to spend $250 on vape gear.

Are they really that hard to find?

I'm also looking into a DNA 30 mod as well because I'm only just starting to get into rebuildables. The way I look at it (as with most decisions I make in regards to tech items) is I would rather go ahead and invest in a quality mod that I can grow into and can handle anything I want to do, making it something it something that is viable for longer. Sure I could get something that isn't as expensive in the moment, but if I out grow it and it ends up collecting dust on the shelf because I've had to upgrade anyways it seems like a bigger waste than just investing the money now.

I'm a computer gamer, the games have system requirements in order to make the game run smoothly. I saved for months to get a custom gaming rig, because I wanted to use the best quality components available. A lot of people said 'Why do that when something better will come along in a few months." True, but buying the best, it will hold up to game requirements much much longer than the cheaper low end components that are already obsolete.

I had no problem getting mine, but I got lucky and was camping their facebook page on release day. Roaming around the forum it seems like everyone is out and is sitting on waiting lists for a device. I can't honestly tell you because I haven't been looking to get a second yet. My local B&M is supposed to be getting them in the beginning of March and I'm trying to convince myself I don't need to spend the money to have a Mini too.

Do you think there will be a waiting list soon for the Hana Modz. Because i want to purchase on around April. Do you still think they will be out there then?

Yes worth it!

So far working great, seems well built, the mini is super compact too which i really dig. Passthru charging, capable of high wattage or low-ohm dual coil builds.. all "wins". I also really like the recessed 22mm 510 connection. ANY mod will sit flush or at least appear to.

But the one thing i dont like is how easy these things scratch up... aluminum is NOT the most durable surface. Thats my only gripe.

That's why I got a wrap for mine, was worried it would scratch up.

That's no good. My condolences, I doubt there is anyway to protect Aluminum against a drop that is a downside it your right.

Plus my battery connection is acting up. Sometimes i have to pull the battery out and re-connect it. Gonna have to send it back to hana

I just got mine on Thursday. I would say very worth it! I love EVOLV products - a have the Darwin - Opus D and now the HANA V-3. By far the best of the best! I can 15 watt my Kayfun and pump 25 watts for my dripper.The Sony bat does a great job and keeps up. I have bought and sold many mech mods( kept all VW mods) and I keep going back to my VW Mods - for me it is one of the top power devices out there now
