I was thinking if buying it. Should be the same as the others Right

It looks rather well put together but pictures can be misleading, for the price I personally would hit the buy button but I'm broke. It looks a lot cleaner then the rest thats for sure but seems as if it's merely on sale and they could raise the pricing soon. All in all, it should be identical to the other Hana Clones/Authentic.

I have to say thats about the cleanest inside of a DNA ran box I have seen. Most of the issues people have with these style boxes is not the chip being bad but usually its the wiring/connector and the solder points(cold joints) from the pic thats about as clean as you can wire one.

If you were going to buy a DNA/CNA30 box this looks as good or better than any of them. Really impressed with the insides if thats how it comes to you.

The cleanest I have ever seen is inside the rDNA VaporShark

Wanting a Vaporshark so badly. Have a Evolv DNA 30 dual 18650's in a Hammond box but it's so big I hate walking around Wally World with it :). Also have one of the clones & it's size is nice and works well but I just don't have the confidence in it that I do the Evolv board. Going to do away with the Hammond box once my DIY Hana style enclosure arrives from Fasttech so I'll have two Hana style mods but a true Vaporshark RDNA would fit in my rotation fantastic. :D Solid, clean built, small, powerful, proven circuitry what more could you ask for?

I got my ana box today...except wrong color. :p. Now does the DNA30 have a problem with a 'check atomizer'? mine seems to want to flash that about 50% of the time and reads the ohms higher than my vamo. About 1.1 or higher. It does this with my aspire and kayfun. Any feed back on whats up? Thanks!

Sorry I can't answer that. I'm waiting on mine.

I hope mine doesn't do the same thing.
Good to know.

I have one of the Fasttech enclosures. Comes with all the switches and wires, a decent adjustable 510 connector a see through smoke colored cover for the electronic compartment and a battery tray with wires already soldered on. It has really nice machining & anodizing. It was so nice I ordered another about 3 weeks ago and it's out for delivery now. Oh it also has a hole for the charge led where some of the others do not. I can see it from across the room if it's charged or not. I highly recommend the Fasttech model if your not in a hurry to get it.

I just cant bring myself to buy one right now. I'm right at 5 months off analogs and as of right now I'm $213.00 in the black. If I bought one now I'd be all the way back to around $40.00 :) With a Evolv DNA 30 and a clone plus about 10 atomizers and a couple mechanical mods I just cant bring myself to the point I feel justified in the purchase at this time. Now if one of my variable watt devices went to crap I probably will. But I'm also thinking that Evolv will be releasing something new by the end of the year so hopefully that will either drive down the prices on the 30 watt devices or maybe I'll get a Vaporshark DNA 50:D

The true Evolv DNA 30 has no problem with reading resistance that I've heard of and the only time you should see "Check Atomizer" is if there no atomizer attached or coil installed. I have seen a lot of folks report the clones to read incorrectly by .3 Ω or so. I thought my clone was reading correctly until I did a side by side comparison of the clone vs the Evolv and found that mine actually reads resistance fine from .75 up to 1.7Ω but at 1.8Ω it goes off by .4Ω reading 2.2Ω. Here's a link to the power outputs and resistances measured on my devices if you want to take a look. Resistance readings are in the Power Chart for Scope spreadsheet under the Resistance tab.

So mad right now. After waiting on this box to come over on the slow boat from China and the package finally showing out for delivery since 7:32 this morrng on USPS.com wouldn't you know the damn mailman didn't drop it off. I already dismantled my Evolv DNA in anticipation of this :( So tired of getting my mail from the neighbors and giving the neighbors their mail. USPS is just terrible IMO. Tried calling the local PO a couple times but it just rang and rang about 30 times before it was either hung up on or disconnected. /sigh

The FT mini is really awesome , it's tiny but a great enclosure and people who have the latest rave about it. Even comes with snap in / snap out connectors .

But it's only 20 watts isn't it? I'm usually running between 16 - 22.5 watts so a 20 wouldn't work for me. I looked for a 30 but don't see one. Am I missing it?

JUST FOR MY OWN PROTECTION DO NOT FOLLOW MY ADVICE!

Write a very sincere letter to the Postmaster General about your many complaints about your local service issues, seal it in plastic and get one of those small priority mail boxes and put it in there along with a generous helping of feces.

The source of said feces it up to your digression.

It will make no difference but it will make you feel much better!

I like your thought process I just don't want to commit any federal crimes. Maybe I could just put From: UncleRJ" on it and drop it in a corner mailbox:D If I only knew where one was. hehe

I actually just got off the line with their 800 support and the lady tells me that the postman will notice he still has it in his vehicle at the end of his run and will come back with it. I'm thinking right he'll shove it in a corner and deliver it tomorrow. Being Friday evening I'm sure he's headed for home already.

I wish you well.

You may want to wear gloves when opening it.

Probably has some nasty body fluids on the exterior:eek:

Sorry I see the price.

It is kinda high.
Click to expand...

Carbon Fiber is pretty nice looking but yea the $70 price tag is way over the top for just a box diy kit. There's a guy over on ECF that builds them with Radioshack 9v battery boxes that are even smaller than this and his overall price with the DNA 30 is around $70-80 bucks. Add a carbon fiber wrap and good to go for about the same price :)

If your planning on using it at higher watts then a 30 amp battery is suggested. Atleast with the other box mods.

If I didn't already have the r-DNA, I definitely would have purchased this over the Cana mods. The mess of wires was the one thing that put me on the fence with the Cloupor version. Had no idea the original Hana was a mess of hot glue too, wow!

As for the ultra-fire battery, I would recommend you throw it away. A proven, reliable and solid battery like the Sony VTC4 or 5 is only $10.

I agree on tossing the ultra fire. If the battery has fire in the name I wouldn't trust it. To many issues with this type of Chinese batteries.
