What tanks are you all gonna run on this thing?

I'd like to get a tank for it, Looking for a RTA with around 3ml capacity that is easy to build on.

Thinking I want this for out and about pocket use.

Edit: DO NOT SMELL THE SILICONE SLEEVE!

Anyone figure out anything more on the upgrading process or the USB (not) charging port. From what I'm seeing on Kooper's site they say the micro USB port is for upgrading but not for charging but to upgrade the firmware you have to send it to one of their authorized retailer/wholesaler's to get it upgraded. Here's the link for those interested: http://www.koopor.com/news/koopor-mini-firmware-upgrade.shtml

Koopor or Cloupor? Dis be Cloupor thread

Well, I started this thread but kind of strayed away as I spent some time with my new mini+. I have been carrying it pretty steady for a couple of weeks now and so far she keeps on ticking. She took one quite hard spill of my desk sending the battery door and the battery in separate directions and there were no negative repercussion. The finish has a backed on look and is holding up nicely. It is a finger print magnet but, Meh. I am primarily a tootle puffer but a friend gave me a nautilus with a stock Ni coil and I was able to kick some serious clouds for a photo shoot (picture bellow). It seemed to do what temp. control is suppose to do and allowed me to take long deep hits of 90vg/10pg. Over all I can say I like this rig and it has a place in my travel rig collection. To be honest, I have not and do not intend to try the built in charger.

Hits:
-Compact size
-Temp Controle
-Good Power from a single 18650

Misses:
-Insecure battery door
-Heavy, much smaller but 10 grams heavier than the Coolfire IV

Hey @Capt.shay , my mini+arrived this morning unfortunately I may not get my hands on it for another month. The wife sent a pic of the package. I see a VIP card in the back of the box?Can you tell me what that's all about? Thanks.

Still reading through the stuff while trying to get work done but I believe it is a warranty card. I love the ChEnglish . On the front it says "After sell service card" and on the back "Please take care of card for after sell warranty!". By no means is this specific to this company but I mean come on guys. You had to pay a lot of money for this stuff. Hire a proof reader!

 

[Capt.shay]

Lol, love it..... How many ml of juice went up in that single Cloud?

It's a good thing I DIY !

I'm actually a mouth to lung guy but a friend came over and lent me his topper so I could check out the whole TC thing. This is my first TC mod and I have a little learning curve to swing through.

So who else has gotten their prize booty?

 

[Jingles]

I got my pink one today. I agree about the battery door. It does not seem as secure as the door on my Evic VTC mini. I kind of feel like I need to keep the sleeve on so the door doesn't fall off. The pink is a pretty shade (for girls).

This a copypasta of the post relaying my intial thoughts on the Cloupor Mini+ in the contest thread:

Here's a handcheck pic with a Reo clone for comparison. Didn't take long to cover it with glycerin fingerprints.

A Zephyrus RTA in wattage mode and a .3Ω factory coil @ 40-45w produced a very nice vape.

I'm now vaping the pictured Mutation variant with a .23Ω ni200 coil and it seems to be working fine. I can easily detect the difference when adjusting the temperature as little as 20°F.

I think I may like TC vaping but am not enjoying working with the nickel wire thus far. I have some titanium wire ordered. Hopefully it will be more to my liking.

Addendum - I have also ordered some tempered ni200 wire per a suggestion in the contest thread. This TC thing has rekindled my interest in playing with differing builds.

First battery cycle seems to indicate good efficiency.

How is the battery door? I'm guessing that the free silicone cover may be Cloupor's answer to the rattle-y battery door issue on the original mini?

The door is a little odd.

There is like a 1/8th inch gap before the magnets grab it and then it kind of falls back in to place. Not so much a rattle but a click. It would seem like a couple of set dimples (is that the right word?) would have solved this problem.

The buttons, now the buttons rattle like a maraca, worse than The VV3. But, that doesn't really bother me because, well, don't shake your vape.

I really want to give it a few more hours/tank fulls before I put out a full first impression.

I got mine.

Flimsy Battery door, Paint looks like baked on Enamel. Not that smooth.

Included Sleeve helps with the Battery door rattle obviously, You can still feel the door moving slightly tho

Sleeve is "Clear", Looks bad on the Black finish. Wish they would make one in Black.

Haven't tried anything really, I need some suitable batteries for it.

A 22mm Full size Nautilus fits without overhang.

It is small, Feels ok with rounded corners.

More to come.

Eric

Edit: The sleeve has a seam from the molding process that stands out quite a bit.

Got mine. Generally liking it. I do think the silicon sleeve mediates some things that would otherwise be issues for me. The battery door seems to be a bit too easy to slide off when the sleeve is not on, and while the finish is fine, it seems like it might not be as durable as the finish on my other box mods. But that is completely subjective. I guess all I have to do is keep the sleeve on.

I normally use a Sigelei 75w TC and find the Cloupor to function just as well. Aesthetically, it seems a bit small for my Lemo vers 1,the only tank I had a NI200 build on at the time I got the Mini+. My Lemo 2 seemed to be a more natural fit for it. But that's all completely subjective. Both function fine, the Lemo 2 with Kanthol in VW mode, and the Lemo 1 with NI200 in TC mode. It does make my Sigelei seem to be overly heavy for its size. I think Sigelei added unnecessary weight to the doors of the 75w TC, to make the mod seem to be a substantial, quality product and may have got overboard on the weight.

Considering the anticipated price of the Mini+, if I need to purchase a new TC box mod, I might well go for the Mini+

Just got mine today. It's a lot smaller than I expected. Very nice though.

I like the size. It's really not any bigger than my istick 30, albeit a little heavier. Makes it easier to take with me to work.

 

[Foggy Road]

Siigggghhhh!!! I finally got to stop by the house today. First thing I did was check out my Mini+. A little disappointed tho. I was expecting a blue one, I got a black one. Not a huge issue considering the price I paid. At least it wasn't pink. It does look good in black tho. At any rate it will just be going in the vape cabinet and held in reserve until my iStick or eGrip pass away. Or at least until I get around to ordering a battery and charger.

Thanks for starting, Cap!

I don't have mine yet either, but I'll be checking in here for reviews/opinions/tips!

Yeah I'm just a Tootle puffer myself. Not even curious about TC. BUT now I've got a new mod to mount my GS Air on and crank it up to a whopping 10 watts or so! If I can't find a way to trade it for another eGrip V1.
