My plan is, when the battery dies, make the battery replaceable. Then if it needs a hard reset, I'll just remove the battery. Don't expect to need to do hard resets often.

Well, I returned my Heatvape Invader Mini, and picked up a istick 30W, added the 510 adapter, and a beauty ring/collar from a Protank, and I'm back in Happy vape land lol it's slightly taller with the adapter, but knowing the 510 threads on the device are being preserved, makes it very worth it imo
Thank you everyone for your input and patience with me while I struggled with the Invader

Thanks to all for the comments and opinions on the Cloupor mini vs iStick 30W. I watched Phil's review and measurements again, I must have missed the 3.6V the first time. Love the form factor, but not for me.
So I decided on a Sigelei mini and KBox, both in black to use with my 25r's.
In Canada we are limited with online sites that take a credit card, most want interact transfer. And the ones that do take CC usually have an outrageous markup.
So the wait from FT and GB is in the works.

I always use a 510 adapter on my 20W-iSticks to protect their "soft metal" threads.
But since my 30W-iSticks have stainless steel 510 threads...I forgo using an adapter on them.
I use the flip adapter with my smaller iSticks. It has a sprung 510 pin and let's some tanks fold over depending on the tank/iStick model.
I didn't think that the 30W top piece, was made of any different material than the 20W, as a matter of fact, the 30W actually came with an adapter.
The iStick "kits" include 510-EGO adapters, allowing the use of atomizers like the EVOD. Besides electrically retuning the output from mean to RMS, the biggest change from the 20W to the 30W was the 510 connection. The 30W received a spring-loaded pin and stainless threads. A widened deck surrounding the 510 also made many vapers happy. There should be no reason to "protect" the iStick 30W's 510 threading. The stainless steel should outlive the rest of the mod.
Good luck!
ETA: While the 30W's top cap is made of the same material as the 20W's, the 510 threading is actually a stainless steel insert into the top cap.
Your absolutely right. I only need to use the spring adapter for the old 20 watt version. Other than that I have loads of other devices and only stripped the threads once (noob mistake 4 years ago).
This thread seems to be slowing down a bit. I guess the 50W owners took their problems to another thread. I'm not complainging, mind you. We had enough traffic & problems with the 20watter. I guess people are having few if any real problems with the 30watters. Hmmm Interesting that the 30 & 50 fairing so differently.

We have six 30 watters in the house - not a single problem with any of them. Thanks to all your tips here, we haven't had trouble with any of the 20s YET, either. Crossing fingers! Appreciate all the info.
Same here (with my 20's). I'm getting my moneys worth, that's for sure!
Have a nice night everyone!
Sorry if this is a re-post, but has anyone heard of the 20w mini yet?

Niiiiiiiice!!! This is what I've been waiting for and wasn't sure it could be done with this small of a device.
Even MORE pocket room!
Thanks for the heads up Neat!
Just when I thought I was safe. I was going to slow down with buying for a couple of months.
Nice!
But...
Would it really cost that much extra in manufacturing considering the quanitity of runs they do. To put SS threads and a spring loaded pin on all their devices? Add $5 on the end for that and WeeLeaf would rule the APV market!
Once they got the 50W problems sorted and made sure the 100W works perfectly...
How are we doing Troll?Nice!

Nice to see you. I have the day off. 
Even though I'll probably pick one up for myself, I don't know what they're waiting for.
ETA: I have no clue how those asterisks showed up.

My original Istick is still hanging in there, so I'm not too concerned about the 510. (I won't be using it that often anyway)
But I agree with you, and hopefully it's a little better than my original, which is just barely hanging on by a thread!...(see what I did there?
