Hey guys and gals,
I posted a thread awhile back asking about Mini box mods. Well I've realized that my Hana clone is "mini" enough. Now I want something different. My budget is still pretty low ($70 tops, and that's really pushing it). I heard that the Vapor Flask dna 40 with temp control is well worth the cash. I've seen a few go for $60-$70, but I've also heard that these clones were finicky. Is there a specific link where I can get a good quality one? Or are there any other mods I should look for (VW)?

While I'm here. Is nickel wire (the wire used on temp control devices) the same as Ni200 Pure Nickel Annealed wire (that non resistance wire)? If so, I have about 99 feet of the stuff.

As the finicky business which i'm not to sure about since I don't own was just Kangxin getting things milled out for their cloned chip. Now I will say they have their own proprietary chip which is no longer a clone but of their design, KX-50W. Here soon they'll have a new model, Mini VF KX-50W, which is set to release this tuesday and its quite cheap you can find it on the large suppliers such as Fasttech, Focalecig, and Angelcigs! Good Luck! :thumb:

I have the Waidea VF V3 Clone in silver which I ordered from Focalecig US warehouse for $68. I like it so much I ordered another in black. Just like the $300 original some devices may have quality-control issues, but so far mine has worked flawlessly.

The Kangxin VF clone has no chassis and is assembled with hot glue - the Waidea has a sled to hold the internal components, but sometimes has grounding issues. Both have good chips that rival Evolv's DNA 40 board. I would go with the Waidea flask, and if it happens to have issues just send it back - seems no more likely to have issues than the $300 original.
