So I just picked up a Cloupor Mini 30 Watt Box mod. I've been a mech mod subohm kinda vapor for a long time now, but have been watching the regulated box mod game for a good time to jump in, which seemed like know since the prices have dropped a lot and China seems to be getting some of the critical "bugs" out of the circuit boards and other issues.

So I ended up grabbing a few, the Cloupor Mini 30 Watt being one of them. It was bent to be my at work or in the car vape. I read the dimensions of the box mod and It stated the top of the box was 22mm depth. I thought "perfect, all my 22mm attys will sit nice on it with no overhang".... well, in typical China eCig fashion, they came so close but so far away. The top depth of the mod is indeed 22mm, but they completely shot themselfs (or more like it all of us) in the foot by not placing the 510 connector 11mm from the edge of the top width. This of course makes all 22mm attys hang over the front edge where the control buttons are located. This is such a blunder to me and i couldn't even believe my eyes when I started slapping attys onto it..... it makes it look so goofy and unnatural. The other thing I then noticed is that the 510 connector protrudes up above the top of the box mod. This causes all attys to have a gap between the atty and the mod, enough to were I can slide a business card in between the area.

These two issues are currently driving me crazy. I'd had to say, atty gap and atty overhang are two of my biggest pet pevs. I mean, it's 2015.... why are we still dealing with these kinda design issues?


So I'm coming to you guys looking for some advice on rectifying these situations so I can make a proper vape setup out of this thing. I know you won't let me down, seems like there enough of this mod sold where vapers have had and fixed the same issues I'm having.

1) I need the perfect tank (or even dripper, but mostly tank) to slap on this Cloupor Mini 30 Watt so that there is no overhang or any part of the atty sitting wider than the top of the mod.

2) has anyone seen or messed with getting rid of that atty gap? I'm thinking I could sand down the part sticking up above the top of the mod to make it flush. Maybe throwing some duct tape ontop around the 510 would keep be from scratching my pretty little mod all up in the processs. I also see some skins\wraps for the Cloupor Mini. Maybe placing a sticker type skin around the mod would raise the top just high enough to meet flush with the protruding 510 connection, making any atty attached to it in the future not what the ugly gap?

Gummy, I do hope you find a smaller tank that won't have that over hang. That would be very annoying to me as well.

As far as gaposis goes, I use a bit of the ole bling. If that's not your taste, you might try using a simple vape band.

I've got my original vicious any cyclone on it right now. It fits nice and doesn't hang over the edge at all, but I've never been super into this atty ever since I got it. The deck is just so small, and there's no real juice well in it. Can't fit many drops of juice in there at a time. But it does look killer on it.

I have a Clouper Mini and don't have an issue with any 22m atty hanging over the edge.
Buy yourself a silicon sleeve for the Mini and it will fit flush with the sleeve in place, no overhang!
Or you can choose from a limited source of square or hexagonal type attys.
Get the sleeve... less than $2...

I actually got the sleeve with it.... but it's the one with the cut out gap in the atty deck area. Doesn't do s&$t for the gap. So which square or hexagon atty won't overhang on the Cloupor mini? It would have to be like 18\19mm or something to work right with no overhang.

Got any pictures?

Subtank Nano fits nicely with no overhang, though you are stuck using Kanger OCCs. No RBA option. It worked very well for me as it is hassle-free and simple on the go.
Yeah, that was literally the only thing I could come up with in my looking around that would look right on it. How are the OCC coils anyway? Worth it, or just a pain in the ...?
