One of these DNA's worth it?

I was considering a dna 30 which my B&M has on sale for $60. But these are relatively cheaper and would also put me into a dna 50.

Does anybody have any experience with these? And I notice some say hana modz while others say Hanaa Modz. Is this a typo? Or a different brand?

If you're looking for a DNA 30 clone I can't recommend the Fasttech Hana clone enough. I have two of them and I've been using them both for 7 months now and they have both been perfect.





Make sure you get the slightly more expensive version, there is a cheaper version on FT and it doesn't have an adjustable 510 and has some other dubious features.

The other thing to mention here is that for $60, the dna30 device your B&M is selling is most likely a clone. You're not going to find an authentic Evolv chip in a device under $100. I honestly can't think of one that's under $150, although there may be something out there. Just the chip by itself retails for about $60.

I notice their DNA 50 is only slightly more. Any experience with it? Not that I need the extra watts right now but you never know.

That seems to be the case everywhere I look although I did test their DNA 30 and it does say Evolv across the screen when you turn it on. They also sell it for around $100 without the coupon. Although it's very possible that whoever made the chip just programmed it to look authentic.

Clones now comes in dna50s i have one and its good enough. I vape it daily. Any clone dna is worth having. But of coz nothing beats the original. I usually go for something affordable. So if it suddenly dies on me i wont feel too ....ty about the amount i paid for it. Lol

The vapor shark DNa is on sale now for 99.99$. Just saying. That's an authentic evolv chip in a device for a hundred. Should tell everyone where the market is headed. Authentic Hana mod dna 30's just got lowered to 150-160$ as well Now that temperature sensor coils are hitting the market. I believe the manufacturers are attempting to get rid of the old stock for the next new thing.

The nice thing about a hana style mod is someone that can solder can repair anything that fails. Every part can be purchased separately and installed due to the design of the enclosure. Easy access to the entire inside. The case also can be fitted with a fatdaddyvapes 510 which is a better connector than even the authentic uses. Chip cradles can be used so you don't have to hot glue the board. Frankly, the best hana available is one that is custom built with a fdv connector and authentic evolv main and charger boards mounted with a cradle. Check this out.

You see this kind of thing a lot with the clones. My wife has a hana mod DNA knock off that says "evolv" when it turns on. Which is ironic because on my auth hana it says "hana modz" when you wake it up. Go figure... :confused:

I have the newest version of the hana clone by cloupor. I got it from bevapehappy.com for $60 on Black Friday. (Reg price $80) real solid, Works great newer model with adjustable 510 screw too. Even though it's not an authentic dna 30 chip, it's damn near close. I would totally recommend this one. Don't get the one from ft, they're crap.

evolv is only at dna40 right arent they? ive never even heard of a dna50 chip.
The Evolv DNA40 is the highest wattage chip evolv has. However, it's totally in a league of its own due to the temperature protection it offers. I don't have any authentic DNA device (yet), but generally the clones are lacking in that the devices have a 1-2 second delay when firing from sleep mode and that the power will sag with battery drain. The cloupor ZNA50 doesn't have the first of those problems but many have expressed dissapointment with the device. I love it though.

Don't make the mistake of going for the highest wattage device. 30w is enough for most, and the DNA40 will most likely beat anything else in the market
