Thoughts about the dna 30?

[iClearoman]

I've been thinking a lot about getting a box mod and the vapor shark dna 30 seems perfect. I only have two things holding me back.

1) the price. I know this is a quality box mod but $200 seems a little steep to me. And
2) the battery life. 1200 mah Lipo battery in a box mod?! That seems a little low to me. I feel like I would be charging this thing more often than vaping it.

So what do you guys think? Anyone have the vapor shark and love/ hate it?

Also what other box mods would you suggest? I need it to be able to sub ohm as I will be mainly using rdas on it.

Thank you for your input!

The 1200 mah Vapor shark is pretty small compared to most other DNA 30 devices, hence the deceased capacity.

Look into the ipv2 50 watt. Newer technology. You might be interested in it. I have s dna30 and do like it however the ipv2 50 is better. Hope this helps.

I believe VaporShark has or will be very soon releasing a DNA30 model that does not use the lipo battery but a user replaceable 18650 battery. I personally would wait for that.

I have a DNA 30 Hana Modz clone from FastTech and I like it a lot. I can vape a Kayfun on that thing all day long and then some. Everyone else is right though, the IPV is big right now and it really is newer technology. 50 watts, man. If you got the scratch though I'd jump right up to one of those 120W raptor box mods or build one yourself if your savvy like that. That'll be my next VW.

Up until recently, I had a Cloupor DNA 30 and loved it. The power it had was amazing. I hope one day to get another, and hope that the bastid that stole mine is enjoying it.

I have both the VS DNA 30 and an authentic Hana V3 in my collection. I prefer the Hana mainly due to the ability to toss a VTC 5 in there. The only thing holding me back from an IPV is it's single battery, I would love to see them as a dual 18650. I will rock my Hana as my main regulated atm. Not counting the DIY boxes ofc. I was browsing ebay and noticed the Sigelei 100w box for an okay price. I can't stand the box but for the price, buying it and gutting the Sx330 out of it and tossing it in one of my wood boxes sounds like a promising adventure.

Well, I had a hana clone, too...but now I changed to the IPV V2 with 50 Watts and am really happy with it.
I dont need the full 50 Watts at the moment for real, but it is nice to know there is a bit more power possible...

Anyone have a Hana vs IPV photo for size?

 

[Added]

I don't have the IPV but here are the numbers for comparison:

Inches:

IPV
0.84 x 1.95 x 3.93

Hana (Full)
1 x 1.94 x 3.43

Hana (Mini)
1 x 1.65 x 2.65

Thanks for all the advice guys! I think I will go with the Ipv 50. It has more power and its $80 cheaper! I cant imagine I will ever need 50 watts though....maybe someday.

Haha, I said deceased.

 

[heyilikethis]

just saw a 50 watt hana clone at my local b&m, blown away at the power of these devices coming out, had a neat looking touch sensitive firing button on top, no idea on the company or longevity of the device but damn it was cool

Looks like some vape shops dropped the price on Hanas by $50 this week. Good time to snag on if you were looking at all. I'd guess the 50W competition and oriental clones are chipping away at them, or they have something new coming out and want to clear stock. Anyhow, good time for a Hana if one was so inclined.

Be aware the IPV is finished/workmanship is poor.

@ XJ-linux
In the vid your answer at your question comes too.

Love my Cloupor DNA30 clone. ------------- Sure it's a clone, but it's a 30 watt mod that only costs $70 delivered. Takes an 18650 battery rather than a LiPo. Looks almost like the Hana, works like any other DNA30 device, cheap enough that I could buy two of them for the price of an IPV and buy 3 for the price of a real Hana.

I would have probably jumped all over an Evolv DNA-30 powered PV if it had step down as well as step up technology, but for that reason a a $45 Evolv Kick-2 is actually a better device for my use.
