Looks sweet , seems to have identical features as the real dna board , could it be , probably not , nice piece regardless .
These cloned boards have proven to be a little flaky, the ohm readings tend to be 'off' on them and most won't hit 30 watts.

I was having a look at that and it looks like it has a huge centre pin which could be a problem for some atties, wonder if that's why there's no picture on that site and I can't find out if it's adjustable or not.
Yeah, saw one at a B&M on Saturday.
The form-factor is more friendly in the hand than a full-sized Hana.
Personally, I wouldn't touch a mod with a clone dna chip that powered up claiming to be an "Evolv DNA" even if worked just like a real DNA (which the clones most definitely do not) out of respect for Evolv.
Where was the shop, and how much were they asking?
I've got an rDNA, so I'm not likely buying one of these, but I'd like to know for curiosity's sake.
I saw one on Ebay and it does NOT have an 18650. My bad! Internal 1800mAh battery.
Why won't your buddy get a hana clone? Most of the deficiencies of the Hana clone will be found in rDNA clones.
Most of the latest DNA clones work great and do not have hot melt glue all over the place , i have seen a few that are incredibly clean. Seems the overwhelming majority love them as well.
H.Cigar was offering them at $ 79.99:

An "overwhelming majority" of people loving something is not an indication of good or bad design. Bottom line is as far as we have seen, DNA clones lack important safety features which can lead to meltdowns or worse. This is an inherently bad product, much like the Groove that had only a few failures, yet was recalled wholesale despite the unlikelihood of the "overwhelming majority" of users ever having a problem.
I just go on what i have experienced and to me and to people i know who have both it's very difficult to tell a difference in functionality and performance, your results may vary.
Imo the real rDNA is not worth double the price, not even close.

Given that this industry is unregulated, you HAVE to go on more than that. If a design flaw is discovered in a device, it is up to the vaping community to reject that device, we cannot trust that companies will recall it, especially not clones which are get-rich quick schemes to begin with and do not represent any clone maker's innovations.
Wrong. The clone is priced unrealistically because it is a counterfeit manufactured to poor standards in the equivalent of a 3rd world labor economy.
Actually i don't have to go on more than that , that is my opinion , i know yours is different .
Wrong lol, i said
that is based on evaluation of the two .
The clone is priced exactly where it should be , it's a clone not a counterfeit , a counterfeit is something that try's to pass as the real thing and avoids identifying itself as a clone.
A clone is a replica reproduction of the real thing but does not hide the fact that it's a clone , clones vary in quality , some are excellent and some suck.

This has gone off track, why don't we wait until someone who owns a rDNA clone from H.Cigar to compare the two . Seems H.Cigar is saying it has all the features of a real rDNA.
Most of what we have in our industry that are called clones are in fact essentially counterfeits. The drive for identical design makes them actionable as logoless clone Hana Modz dealers are finding. And woe be to anyone who uses the trademarked name anywhere in any marketing (and even China marketing can come into play).
They key reason for actionability is the reason why what you call it is largely irrelevant -- the appropriation of IP. It doesn't matter what you call it, if you are copying someone else's product, you are stealing IP and are liable for it along with your entire supply chain to consumer.
That is not a legitimate product and thus is not at all a reflection of what the product is actually worth.
