Of course "Cana" is what the Cloupor clone of the Hana Modz 30W electronic box mod is called.
As I have a original Russian 91% on the way from Cape Vaping Supplies, decided to give this mod a try. Saw on the Vapeking forum that it can be upgraded to 35 W, even with a set of instructions published there. Send off an email for an invoice and asked Vapeking to be so kind as to do the upgrade for me as well. Received the Cana yesterday (26/6/2014) morning - very fast delivery. Was not upgraded and no word received on the upgrade request to this time. Also no dust cover as shown on the web site. My query in this regard remains unanswered. Let us look at the mod:
This is an AMAZING piece of vape gear. This can take a vaper from newbie right through to rebuildables. You can vape any resistance from, effectively, 0.6 ohms to 3.3 ohms. So one can run a commercial tank (like the Nautilus, Aerotank, etc) on there and will be especially useful with commercial coils as low as 0.8 ohms becoming available. But it is also heaven for a RTA (rebuildable tank atomizer) or a RDA (rebuildable dripper atomizer) as you can go as low as 0.6 ohms. So, forget all the MVPs, SVDs, Vamos, Spinners, Egos, etcetera. This, if within your budget, is all you need.
So, not having the Russian yet, mounted the Aqua (dual coils, 0.6 ohms, Ekowool wicking) on the Cana after installing a purple Efest high Amp battery. Clicked the top button 5 times to power up. And low and behold it worked. Shows the resistance of the atomizer and, when you press the button the Volts it is firing at. And of course the Watts you set it to. On my Aqua at 0.6 ohms set at 30W, it fired at exactly 4.1 Volts. Which is more or less where I would have started off on a mechanical mod. And there it stayed, consistently giving me 4.1 V throughout. With a mechanical mod, you do not get consistent power delivery. As your battery weakens so does the power delivery. And one starts feeling this at around 3.8 V. This is when I usually put in a fresh battery. With the Cana no need, the electronics regulate the power to a constant Voltage - 4.1V in my case. Giving you the same vape - all the time. Off course, charging will take longer, but we do need sleep time. And the Cana has a built in charger. Just connect with the included cable to a power source.
The Cana has a little battery indicator. I had been vaping on it for hours. Eventually the battery indicator ran empty, but still it gave me 4.1V. About an hour beyond indicating empty, the "Check battery" came up on the screen. Took out the battery, measured the Voltage - 3.3V. The manuel says it should do this at 3.1 V. Still, that is more than double the time that I get from a mechanical mod. At 0.6 ohms on a 3100 mAh battery, this mod will easily last you the day. Impressive.
The Cana sits comfortably in my hand. The firing button is well placed and I like the positive click to it. The Watts are easily adjusted. It has all sorts of modes and messages - locked, stealth, power locked, check atomizer, too hot, etcetera. You can even flip the display for left of right handed users.
The Cana -
As all will ask, no, this is not the end of Reos for me. The Reo has other attributes that sets it apart from other mods, electronic as well as mechanical. However, I believe this is the start of the end for most mechanical mods despite some advantages like size, failure points, etcetera.
EDIT: In the discussion below the fact that the Cana cannot step down voltage came up. The minimum output voltage of this device is 4 Volts. Depending on the resistance of your coils a minimum amount of power is required to attain 4 Volts. If your wattage setting is too low, the resistance indicator will flash, which means that you will be powering at a higher wattage than you set the device to and that is shown on the device screen. Here is a chart showing the minimum wattage required for that 4 Volts minimum output for a range of resistances.

The Cana -
- is perfect for both beginner and experienced vaper;
- gives you consistent power from start to end;
- utilises a battery to its full extent giving you the best battery life possible.
