Take a look at the IPV Mini 30 watt and the istick 30 or 50 watt. The IPV Mini is kind of large for a mini but still a nice option.
As far as I know (and I invite correction if I'm wrong), all the relatively inexpensive regulated box mods that appear to buck actually don't. They use PWM---pulse-width modulation---to "achieve" (or simulate) voltages below the battery charge level. What I've read is that regulating chips with true bucking command a considerably higher price. By contrast, PWM is easy and cheap to implement on a chip. With PWM, however, the coil is still getting hit with higher voltage, but in on-off pulses that allow a calculated voltage (avg/mean or rms) that is "technically" lower, but might still be too much for the coil/wick in a low-wattage clearo, and that can result in a burnt taste.
I think you are right on the money there Croak.
I asked 3FVape if their Cloupor came with a manufacturers warranty, they said:
"Normally, we will do six month warranty for product we sold."
So no then.
Uk suppliers are punting them out at £40 and up with a warranty, China is doing them for half that sans manufacturers warranty, but with their own, Thats an easy choice for me.

Well, I said I wouldn't get one of these but lost my resolve and picked up a used one here with two Lemo Drops for a decent price. I'm kind of impressed by the weight of this little mod. It gives the Mini a substantial, quality feel.
As for the actual performance I was a bit disappointed by the lack of a buck feature, but resolved that by going to higher ohm coils. Currently using a Kanger Subtank Nano that I bought specifically (no overhang) for this mod, with a 1.2 ohm OCC. I'm getting a nice warm vape at 16 watts with no flashing ohms display.
Overall, for what I spent, I'm happy so far.

My wife has snagged my Clouper mini for her uses as she loves the size. But I'm tempted to pick up a second specifically for use with the Subtank mini. Will it overhang? Am I better off with the Nano?
I really want to try the Subtank and this seems like the perfect mod for it as a knock around rig.

A 22mm atty will overhang on the Cloupor Mini 1mm on the side towards the buttons. For me this isn't any bother, but some might not agree.
Agreed. I think this mod looks fine with a 22mm atty on them. The Subtank Mini looks fine. Wouldn't be with it to go to smaller capacity and no RBA for me anyway.
This makes sense. I've actually put 22mm attys on my Clouper mini, but somehow thought the Subtank Mini was smaller than 22mm.
I couldn't handle the juice capacity of the nano I don't think. Or the lack of RBA. But the slight overhang I could live with.
Thanks!

I use a silicon sleeve on mine that makes the atty not overhang and I sometimes use it without the sleeve it doesn't bother me at all. I just like how it works and how small it is.
I really didn't mine when I had my Kayfun 4 on it. It may have hung over a little, but not enough to be bothersome.
I just get so confused by the Subtank naming scheme!

My mini's 510 is starting to move around a bit. I applied some Krazy Glue and then some hot glue. They helped some but it's not perfect.
I ordered a Kamry 30W v2 from gear beast as a replacement. The spring loaded 510 made my decision.
I'm considering adding a FDV or Varitube 510 to repair my mini.

Cloupor Mini
After 3 months of very heavy use have a problem with my mini. The fire button is not working very good. You have to press several times to fire. Sometimes works and other have to give 2 or 3 presses to fire. I expect this will be a problem with many mods that have heavy use. This mini was one of the first made so will start using # 2.

The kamry looks good. I see the ones at GB are pre orders. I would love to know how you like the Kam 30w v2.
I wonder how hard it would be to replace the fire button on it??? I have replaced the fire button on other mods because of the same issue.
Same here in addition to a wobbly 510 connector.
I think the threading is wearing out.
Yeah, the zinc alloy threads aren't going to last long with frequent screwing and unscrewing, that's why I bought the Smok air flow controller for mine available at MVS.
