Right behind you...
Not that it really matters, but Busardo gave his first impression on the Cloupor (along with the Smok Xpro M50). He seems to like it so far.

Taste Your Juice | NEW IN THE QUEUE – 1/11/15 – THE CLOUPOR MINI

He's also doing a poll on what "mini" box mod to do a full instrumented review on next, so go to the main page at the top and vote for the Cloupor so we can see how this thing really performs on the charts sooner rather than later. Right now it's #2 in votes behind the IPV Mini, but only by 8 votes.

I ordered the silver version from 3FVape a few days ago (on Jan 2nd) for $32.39 which included a 10% discount (originally $35.99). It shipped 2 days later on Jan 4th from Shenzhen with free shipping via EMS with tracking info. This is my first Cloupor purchase so I'm cautiously optimistic and looking forward to putting it to the test. I also ordered an Efest 2500mAh 35A battery (although it is only 20A continuous) from a local/US vendor which should work just fine with my preferred 1+ ohm coil builds on my Kayfuns, Orchid, and ProTanks.

Mine arrived today...it took only 10 calendar days shipping from Shenzhen. This device feels solid and performs as expected. Below is a pic with my KFL+ v2 as well as with the cover off exposing the battery. So far I feel I got a great deal for what I paid - especially since I've now seen vendors charging up to $59.00 or more.

Yeah, everyone please vote Clouper. I usually don't let reviews sway me that much...but Phil might push me one way or the other on this one. (My istick 30 arrives in a few days....do I really need another is the question)

Elev8 Vape never responded to my e-mail or Facebook post but I just got a tracking number from them. It'll probably arrive on Thursday if they get the package out tomorrow morning.
No tracking number yet but my account now days shipped. Hope a tracking number gets to me today.

I think this company just woke up from a deep sleep....don't understand the long 5+ days to even ship, but maybe that's just status quo for them. I will NOT be doing business with them in the future, I hope the tracking numbers are real. I prefer companies that really move quickly and show me that they care about my business...Elev8 Vape...failed on that note. :(

I voted. The Cloupor is only behind by 4 votes now.

Did anybody notice that the battery's take a long time to charge in the mini ? I popped in a small rubber grommet under battery door . Now no door noise. If this works well I may even glue in . I do have 2 18650 battery's but no charger so I have to charge in mini........

Never use the onboard USB for charging. eVic was the first to offer this feature and after many complaints of BRICKING the eVic I fould one common connection. ALL had been Port charging.
My two eVics are now over 2yrs. old and still working fine.
A decent dedicated charger is well with the price.

Port Chargers are like early cell phone cameras. An add on and an after thought. A Cheap accessory to satisfy a desire. Not worth the risk.

So what charger do U recommend ? I saw a nitcore single for $10.00 on E-bay.

My cloupor mini with a Lemo next to my Smok M50 with a Lemo drop. They're about the same height with this combo, but dang, this mini is damn mini! I'm lovin both of these things.

can I ask if the smok M50 fires straight out of sleep? or does it have a delay like the cloupor?

I use the onboard charger really only for my M50 since it's an unnecessary pain to get the battery out. Plus it charges lightning fast. I may use the onboard charger for my mini if I'm in a pinch or something.

Sounds like they put some effort into the charging circuit on the M50 - Good Deal.

Plenty of good Chargers around.
I'm using a Nitecore Intellicharger I4 v2, only because I got a great deal on it. $16 Works well for the price. 750mah to 2 cells or 450mah(?) to 4 cells

I have a D4, and it's great for charging my Sigelei 100w+ batteries.
