I'd send it back.

I was debating it, but considering how long it too me to get it, and some others having some weird issues, i'm figuring it may be best just to keep it. You cant see it indoors unless turned on just the right angle, but out in the sun, you def can see it, and theres like a paint defect right above it as well, likely from whatever caused the dent right under it.

But woah, I rebuilt my fogger v4 as recommended (above.5 which I built to a .8) and it definitely vapes way better now in terms of flavor. But I have a 1.5 built on my kayfun I always used to run on my mech mod, but throw it on the CANA at 30watts, and immediate harsh burned taste. Had to tune it down to 25watts. I guess this is maybe due to this build being a single coil as compared to the fogger?

I recently purchased a Cloupor DNA30 (Second Batch). After doing some pretty intense research of various technical reviews, I've noticed a major technical flaw in the Cloupor design. ANY SETTING under 4 volts in UNREGULATED! you'll notice the OHMs blinking when the unit is set to fire under 4 volts. The blinking OHMs reading, is the unit letting you know it is firing UNREGULATED.

I've found if you keep your Wattage settings high enough to keep the unit firing over 4 Volts, you shouldn't have any problems with the Cloupor DNA30 Clone. It's a limitation to the unit, but one you should know in advance so you don't fry your PCB. The original DNA 30 will fire regulated down to 3 volts.

Just to be clear... ALWAYS fire your Cloupor DNA30 Clone OVER 4 Volts if you want to keep the unit regulated! Just know your Cloupor DNA 30 Mod will essentially be a Mech Mod below 4 Volts.

Not sure about that - from Evolv's data sheet:

Too low power setting: The DNA 30D puts out a minimum of 4 volts. With low power settings (7 to 8
watts) and low resistance atomizers (below 2 ohms) the DNA will sometimes be unable to provide a low
enough power output to be power regulating. If this is the case, the Ohms display will be flashing. The
device will still operate.

So what is the potential problem if it's firing unregulated? Let's say if I set it to where it's firing at 3.9v and it flashes. But it won't if I turn the watts up a few and it's at 4.0 and doesn't flash. But if I leave it at 3.9, what is going to happen if I vape all day with that?

My guess would be, unregulated is just going to use the watts of the battery, so say like 3.7volts, so take whatever your resistance is, and I would guess that if the amps exceed max amps of your battery, your potentially in danger of frying your DNA chip.

According to the DNA data sheet, the minimum resistance that the DNA 30 will fire is .5Ω so even with a fully charged battery (4.2v) that's only 8.4 amps. which should be well within the max amps of your battery if you're Sony VTC 4's or better.

Has anyone tried to put a coil with less than a .5Ω on their Cana yet? what happens? I would assume it just says 'check atty' but I haven't tried yet.

the cloupors can fire down to .3ohm, but of course that is completely unregulated.
