That's nice about the new tubes. To bad the improvements dont really mean nothing to me since I already own one. XD

Any idea when, where and how much for the new tubes? Any plans for matching top/bottom caps?

I have no idea what the cost is going to be, I neglected to ask .. I would like to believe that they will sell for cheaper than HOH though. I think they would consider matching caps if the demand presents itself. When I asked Sylvia to produce the tubes in different colors she said it was easy to do, so I suspect the same would apply to caps ... I will mention it to her

msgnyc · Nov 6, 2014

That would be great. Thanks. Almost bought a new HoH tube top n bottom cap yesterday... They were sitting in my cart and I was just hovering over the confirm order button. Just couldn't bring myself to spend that much for them. Its ridiculous how much they are.

Well now you don't have to spend that ridiculous amount .. Since FC is already carrying the original, I am sure that they will turn up sooner rather than later.

Hi all, newbie here. I m a zna fan, love the form n the size. Was browsing in focalecig, n notice the robbot 1:1 clone. It mention that the chip is cloupor chip. Is that the same chip that u guys had in your zna? I also notice that's a zna in 18650 size which is zna50 in their website. Which is better? I m actually quite confused.

You can check out my review of the Robbot ZNA here http://vapingcheap.com/robbot-zna-30-clone-review/

As far as the the one 18650 size, that is an unknown, no idea where it came from ..

Hi nikkita6,

Thanks for the link to the review! That's was some crucial info I needed and I notice you did add some extra info in bold mentioning this new batch does have adjustable 510 connector and can fit 18500 batteries. Awesome! But I think in focalecig site.. They didn't update the changes. Nevertheless I think I have enough info which I m looking for. Cheers nikkita6

Focal ran out of the original shipment last week and are awaiting their new shipment which they told me should be in this week. This new shipment should be the revised model. I'll know for certain when I get it.

They are throwing in a free colored tube for me aswell as an apology for the extended wait, so it looks like they are getting the new colored z2 threaded tubes with the shipment. That leads to believing these are the new revised model even more. We'll see tho. I'll post back confirming when it comes in.

BTW, the Robbot ZNA i already have did accept my 18500s out of the box no issue or gaps. No adjustable 510 pin tho. Ordered a HoH adjustable 510 one from electronicstix for it.

Steve.h · Nov 19, 2014

Hi msgnyc,
Thanks for the info. Was about to order the zna30 till I read ur reply. I just email Doris from focalecig to confirm whether the ones I saw in the store is the improve version with adjustable 510 n able to accept both 18490/18500 batteries. Do keep me inform if u receive the zna! Thanks!

It is the upgraded batch hun

I spoke to Doris about it yesterday as I pondered if I wanted to review the 50W

And you are also correct about the prior Robbot batch accepting 18500 batts, that was upgrade #1 and it started when the Robbot was repackaged with both tubes in one box. The non 18500 ZNA's were in the 18490 only box.

I assumed so, but just didn't want to post confirming it without receiving mine and being 100% sure first.

When are the new and improved robbot zna 30's up for sale?

mike187 · Nov 20, 2014

So I just purchased the A-Mod 50w from here: http://www.vape95.com/collections/variable-watt-mods/products/zna-50-watt-by-wotofo I have already watched a couple youtube reviews on it (one of them being Shozza's) and they have so far gotten some very favorable reviews. It seems A-mod has made a few more revisions to this version besides just updating the chip to 50w (better overall quality, new battery cap, new 510, etc.) and it does come with both battery tubes. I should be receiving it tomorrow so I'll let you know what I think. I do plan on getting the Robot tech 50w one as well once its released so I can compare.
It seems the Vape95 website is also correctly listing the chip as a wotofo dna clone instead of the falsely claimed Yihi sx300 chip that everyone thought the wotofo version came with so that is nice too.

Hi Adam

No I haven't actually received one yet because I keep going back and forth as to whether I should review it or not. But since you are asking perhaps I should? Being that it is a 50W chip made by Robbot I guess that kind of does warrant one. I will reach out to Robbot and ask them if they wish to send one for review.

Steve.h · Nov 27, 2014

Hi nikkita6,
the new robbot 50zna chip is by robbot themselves? Is it a good chip? Can you find out more about the chip? I couldn't get the zna30 robbot tech because I m not from USA. Focal only have robbot zna30 from USA warehouse.

have to wait for focalecig to restock. Cheers

msgnyc · Nov 27, 2014

Yeah its a new 50watt chip by Robbot themselves. Wonder if its any good or should they have just went with yihi. Glad they didn't go for the cloupor tho.

Dear FC has actually started selling both the 30w and 50w from the China warehouse so you can get it. The 50W is also only available from China.

I don't know if its a good chip yet because I don't have it, but I will get it and focus a review on the chip itself.

Agreed .. the Cloupor V3 DNA 30 is their best chip, but its kinda downhill on everything after that. I have read conflicting reports about their 50W ZNA chip (Cloupor) some like it, while it seems that most do not.

Hi Nikkita6, I know they start selling from China warehouse but they doesn't have stocks for it now restocking... I have seen the cloupor 50w zna, feel heavy with adjustable 510 but I have doubts about its chip but seem that twisted420 give that version a thumbs up! Confused.. Hahahaha

Hi Nikkita, new to VU forum, your review on the RT zna brought me here!

Ive been trying to get Robbot tech to tell me what chip is inside but they are being a bit cagey so far I dont know why. Maybe it is Cloupor but they're not saying. Bruce on YT says
"Robbot Tech
hi , the chip has the same function as YIHI SX350 and it works good

"
So waiting for a reply from Sylvie. Maybe i'll wait for restock on the zna30

Oh well Robbot made the chip in the 50W, so there is not much more for them to tell you, so that is why Bruce only responded with "Robbot Tech", its their chip.

Did they? Robbot tech in the quote is the user name, but I hadn't realised its their chip! I still don't know if to take a punt or not.

Edit: just got an email back from Bruce and you're right (of course lol)

"As for the chip ,it's made by Robbot ,it has the same function as YIHI sx350 ,you can search it on the internet"

Steve.h · Nov 28, 2014

I m totally a newbie in vaping.. So I guess 30watts is enough for me.. Love the form of zna by zen but who doesn't love versatile of having another 20watts on hand just incase I need it in the future. Meanwhile all I can do is wait for focalecig to restock their robbot zna30 chip by cloupor and perhaps some update of the new 50w robbot chip.

Well, since I have been asked several times about the Robbot 50W specifically, I am having one sent to me to so I can review it. I will probably receive it in a week or so. I hope its a good chip, and if it really is like the SX 350 then it should have buck/boost, which is nice to have ... we'll see.

Ok so is that bad or good for you? I didn't think they were stocking the 50 in the US warehouse.

msgnyc · Nov 29, 2014

If the new board is any good, its good. If its not it doesn't really matter either way since I'll just put a evolve DNA 40 into it which is what I was going to do with the 30 anyways.

As for them being stocked at the US warehouse, I was told they'll be in stock Dec 5th. They actually posted this right after emailing me about bumping my order.

Same for me, i'll see what the 50 watt board is like , if its decent i'll keep it otherwise I'll put in a dna40 celcius.
Mine is shipping from China to UK and processing now

I'm hoping it'll come in 7 - 21 days lol, my last order took about 9 days with China post so fingers crossed it doesn't get held up.

Yeah I saw that after my last post .. I guess that is good, but I feel bad that the UK yet again won't have access to it. I think they should stock in both the US and China. Well the 5th is not that far off, so I will forward to comparing notes with all who receive it.

Ok... let's get it straight... I wasn't making a point... I was making a joke...

Still... I do find it odd or funny when some of the Chinese manufacturers call brass or bronze stuff copper and other similar and obvious mistakes. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually did it on purpose just to stir up conversations about their products... sometimes, even bad press is still good publicity. I do know I don't always buy the "language/cultural differences" as valid reason and I certainly don't think them too stupid to know the differences.

I wanted a real ZNA for a while, but after dealing with Electronicstix - I lost interest. Seeing the cattle calls on facebook to rush over to the site and buy one left a bad taste in my mouth. They would sell out in a couple minutes. A bunch of ZNA's would show up on ebay the next day for $500. Strange that a lot of the people flipping the ZNA were either in NY, or Utah...

Nicole is right, that red ZNA looks sweet, just not sweet enough for $240+.

I'm happy with my Robbot ZNA clone. I can always retrofit a DNA40 if I want to.

Well, my bestie is Chinese and the language barrier is real. There are a lot of words that we use that do not translate into Chinese. I remember trying to explain to my Chinese bird (bestie) the difference between "brushed stainless" and "polished stainless", it was very painful indeed because the word "brushed" didn't translate into Chinese to mean the same as it does to us. Eventually she got it .. but it took a while

In fact, when I was asking my other honey Syliva at Robbot Tech if they had made blue colored tubes for the ZNA, she didn't know what "blue" was. She asked me to show her via a photo, and she speaks very good English, but still didn't know the color blue. Or shall I more accurately say that she didn't know the English word blue for the color.

Same. I wanted to buy a real ZNA, but I have a life and didn't want to sit on Facebook and electronicstix for days playing f5 for the privilege of giving them my money....Had it been available I would have purchased one.

What upsets me about it was Mike being on PBusardos YouTube channel saying He understands and just wait a few days and they will be available to anyone who wants one. That day never came and he doesn't even make the Stainless Steel ones anymore.

Thank you Robbot.

Thank you Robbot.

The day did come, if you lived in Utah, Arizona, or New York. Most of the sales were done at full retail through the B/M's. The unwashed massses on the internet got a pittance compared to what sold out of the stores. To make matters worse, the stores would not sell to you if you called up to order one, walk in customers only. I know, I spoke to a sales guy at Electronicstix, he was in a bind, a lot of people were calling up to order a ZNA and he couldn't sell to them, had to direct them to the internet site.
