I had no play in mine either but it seems like the more the door gets used the more I notice more movement. Still worth it to me tho.
Cloupor Mini Mod 30W

I noticed that, contrary to expectation, an AW 18650 button top (in my case, the 1600mah which I believe is 24a) fits and powers fine on the cloupor mini. If I'm right on the 24a rating (which I got from Busardo's site) .... is there any reason not to use these?
They recommend flat tops but if it fits and works and the amp rating is right, it should work fine but you'll have less run time. Most 30w devices require 10a but spec 12a (safety margin).
Mine is here after 11 days. (Though I suspect the turtle that delivered it needs CPR.)
Happy to say my fears of this thing running too hot on the low end were unfounded (unlike the istick). There is absolutely no play in my battery door and it seals tightly. So much that I need to pry it off. No button rattle. Seems to be perfect in every respect.
But I've been here before. Countless times. (Like KTM above me
). It does seem to roll everything I've ever wanted into a nice small package. (small size, not a disposable, "tool-less", USB charging port built in). I just hope a year from now the innards are still working.

I'd really like to see a YiHi SX350j chipset in this form factor. 60w for lots of headroom, potential for temperature control, and decent quality boards being produced fast enough that there's not a 6 year waiting list unlike Evolv products.
Then again, more wattage on a single 18650 would eat batteries alive, 30w on a single 18650 already does that.
That said, you can almost guarantee there's going to be a Cloupor Mini Plus or somesuch, that puts out 50w in the same enclosure, and soon.

Just like the iStick setting a new bar in size, I think the next wave will be lots of small box mods with replaceable 18650's.
Well, mine showed up out of know where and was waiting when I finally got home.
Color me impressed. I tossed a Magma on there, small gap but liveable. Very impressed with its output.
Ohms readings seem close but will need to do some comparisons and verifications.
For my Vaping preference this little guy can handle the task. 30W on the Magma reading .76ohms and it absolutely slammed my IVP mini.
That point was kind of disappointing since I also like the IPV mini and have (2)
Decided the Wife will get one since her preferred tank is the Kanger Protank and they test out to work well without overly hot output at 7w. Seems they may even be able to run higher since the output is rather smooth.(stable)
Now she just needs to Decide - Silver or Black
Like a good Husband I'll take whats left.

Can these be reset of something? Half way through work today, mine started hitting very weak, like it was only pushing a watt or two. The display works. I cleaned all the connections etc. Thought is was my Nauti but, it works fine on other mods
This is my fear. The quirks that may crop up. No point in having a mod with replaceable batteries if the batteries outlast the mod itself.
I threw in an Efest I knew was mostly depleted and the mini said it was fully charged. Took about a dozen hits before the display indicated charging had commenced. Let's hope this anomaly (and yours) become nothing more than little annoyances.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the general issues with the Cloupor (except for firing delay out of sleep) will be addressed when the silicone sleeves are released, no?
Remember that many of our variable APVs today are tiny computers. If something like this happens, remove the battery, count to ten and reinstall. This forces the chipset to reboot. All should be fine again.
Bad/low battery?
I have a LG HE2 in mine and have been vaping all afternoon on a 1.52Ω build @ 12w and it still has more than 1/2 power.
My battery door is moving around just a bit now and I can slide it down after playing with the door for a bit but still hard to slide down. I guess it will become easier the more I use it. I am impressed with it so far, especially at this price point.
So I've found that if you charge via the USB port, your battery display can get wildly inaccurate (to the point where it'll read a 30% charged battery as charge complete). Seems to crop up only if you try to use it while still on the wire, if you just plug it in and let it sit without firing it, it's fine as far as I can tell. To reset after a use while charging, you need to unplug it and pop the battery out for a few seconds to get it to read accurately again, but it goes FUBAR just as soon as you use it.
If you don't use the USB port for charging it reads accurately from full to depleted. And since the USB charger is spectacularly slow, I'm pretty much exclusively using my external Nitecore charger, reserving USB charging for emergencies/car use, or the occasional overnighting.
Okay, I can't deal with this!!!
The damn thing is already stuck to my hand and I can't get it loose............

I can relate. Lol cant seem to put the thing down. If the board overheats it will be because it hasnt left my hand not because of any build i have on it.
Im away from home and my nitecore charger so I've had no choice but to charge via usb. I have not noticed this problem with mine but i also havent vaped it while charging. I usually plug it in at bedtime and in the morning I'm greeted with "full battery" message and life is good again
