Cloupor Mini Mod 30W

[crxess]

What the heck. Finally got activated at Gearbest.
Went ahead and ordered the Mini in Black.
Probably take a month to get, but my Silver should be herein a day or 3,4,5 - lol
Couldn't pass up the $29.99 & free shipping

Yeah at 12 watts its all good with 1.x ohm coils. Thanks vfor the info that mini can fire 3.6 regardless of battery being usually higher....

Yeah according to my Vamo, at 12w my 1.4 ohm KF4 is hitting 4.2v.. Should be fine..

 

[KODIAK (TM)]

It does step down to 3.6v. A full battery is 4.2v. It won't fire below 3.6v though. That should be enough step down for almost everyone.

Well, I'm just going by Phil Busardo's numbers. It seems that at 3.6v a 1.8 ohm-ish coil fires at close to 4.0v. Not a big deal for 99% of you but I'm a sissy vaper. I ran into this with the iStick which basically can't fire under 4.1v. (RMS volts... not that Eleaf calculation crap).

Not a problem with an RBA but I've grown quite fond of the nautilus mini and the highest resistance those coils come in are 1.8 ohms.

The Vamo will shut down or reset with a bad battery. When I first got my V5, I only had 18650's for my flashlights and they're not high amp batteries so the V5 would shut off or reset all the time. I bought a pair of Efest 20a batteries and that solved my issues but the 510 did suck. I have 2 (1 brand new) that I don't use. I found I like box mods way more than tube mods.

Then I guess I have six bad batteries. I've marked them and noted when it happened with each to make sure it wasn't just one, and it happens with them all. It's possible I suppose, but the odds are somewhat in my favor. Even if that is the problem, I'm with you on liking the box style better these days.

Incase anyone is looking, I recommend this battery - from this site, for this mod: Efest IMR 18650 3100mAh 20amp Flat Top - RTD vapor

That's actually a max 10A continuous, 20A pulse battery. Given the test results, people would still be better off with the LG HE2 (or Efest 2500mah re-wrap) or the Samsung 25R: Test of Efest IMR18650 3100mAh (Purple) 2014

Cotay,

The detailed tests I've seen on battery sites support your post. The purple Efests aren't what they're cracked up to be.

From what I've read, LG is phasing out the HE2 (red wrap) and replacing it with the HE4 (yellow wrap), which has similar specs but lower internal resistance for better performance. Neither the LG HE4 nor the Samsung 25R give quite the performance of the Sony VTC5, but the LG and Samsung are much cheaper than the nearly impossible to find Sony.

Anybody order a kanger nano or mini subtank to match up with the cloupor? Any great deals to be had?

Well, my logic is for this mod, being a max output of 10A, and a portable stealthy vape device, 3100 mah gives you a longer time between battery swaps and the 10 amp continuous results from the efest, falls within the specs of the cloupor.

Not quite. At higher discharge rates, they have about the same capacity as the 2500mah batteries, maybe less.

Woo woo! Mines out for delivery.

Correct. The 2500mah actually maintains its voltage better over the usable end of the power curve: Test of Efest IMR18650 2500mAh (Purple) 2014 You will actually get better usable power out of the 2500mah at 10A.

Mine too

Where did you get yours from? Mine's from FastTech (ordered 12/19).

The Samsung and LG batteries perform better than the Efest 2500mah battery too.

Well, maybe, since "everyone knows" that the Efest 2500mAh is an LG HE2 re-covered in a purple wrapper. Still no proof, but all the tests I've seen seem to match up 1:1 with an HE2.

The HE2 and 25R can also be found much cheaper that what RTD is charging for the Efest 3100mah.

I pre-ordered from VaperCompany back on 12-15. I should have got it late last week but USPS held it up for a few days.

It just got here. This thing is seriously awesome. Much smaller then it looks in photo's. Nice weight, solid feel, door looks good w/o any rattle, and nice buttons. My first impression is a win.

And as a added bonus VC included a VTC4!

I'm with you. My VAMO v3 tube has been sitting on the shelf for months. My v5 box gets regular use in the house, though. With a 1600mAh 7.4V LiPo it runs quite a while (6 - 8 hrs) and pumps out every bit of 30W. Of course, it's not as tiny as the Mini... I had regular issues with the v3 resetting, usually when switching from dual 350s to a 650. I found that stretching the cap spring always solved the resetting problem. I too MUCH prefer a box mod to a tube, however.

I just got mine. The buttons are excellent and a very slight rattle from just the up and down buttons (I had to really shake it close to my ear to hear it). The battery door is very snug with no play. In fact, I can't slide the door down so I have to pick it up from the bottom edge. No side to side play.

This is exactly what I was looking for as far as size and battery requirements. I'm not too crazy about the 510 so I'll probably replace it with a VT 510 and I have a few DNA40 boards so one might find it's way into the Mini.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this mod (even with the .8 sec delay from sleep )
