    No you can't
    Most cells charge to 4.20V/cell with a tolerance of +/–50mV/cell. Higher voltages could increase the capacity, but the resulting cell oxidation would reduce service life. More important is the safety concern if charging beyond 4.20V/cell. Figure 1 shows the voltage and current signature as lithium-ion passes through the stages for constant current and topping charge.

    I have a mvp 2.0 energy series and its great. I wanted another box type I looked into the hana 30 watt I still might get one later on.
    I saw this cloupor and liked it. I want a black stillare or this blue metal color tobh. I am also looking at a kayfun I here good things about them. plus
    a old friend of mine had a kayfun and stillare and let me try them out and I liked them both. I would have to go up in ohm one step a little warmer than I am used to.
    but with time I might like building them that way myself.

    Warm ness is all in the atty and the coil set up. I can get a super cool dense vape running 30 watts with the right coil.

    I don't know a lot about Cloupor aside from the fact that they seem to rush products to market in an effort to push out bigger numbers. If you look at this video from Cloupor showing their new T8 coming out that will be 150 watts, you can see that they are using 2x Samsung ICR-18650-26F batteries. I'm no battery expert, but everything I can find on these batteries says that they have a ~10 amp discharge limit with a continuous ~5amp limit. Far lower than most "high-drain" scenarios.

    It appears they have a 1.3 ohm atomizer running at 150 watts which would draw close to 11 amps & ~14 volts. They are probably running the batteries in parallel so they may very well be within the limits of the battery, but I just find it so odd that a company developing devices that are rated to run .2 ohm coils at 150 watts which would draw close to 28 amps would use ICR batteries in a demonstration video. There are many people out there that would see the "engineers" using these batteries and think that it must be because they are the best available for this device, which I can't imagine to be true.

    It's entirely possible that they are testing various battery types (I hope they are) but at the same time if you need to be really careful when showing things to the public. At 2:45 in the video the engineer does something else that was "interesting". He takes an atomizer running at 150 watts (which equals close to 14 volts @ 1.3 ohms -- HOT) puts e-liquid on it while proceeding to blow on the atomizer bringing it closer to his face. He then jerks backward, which I'm assuming is because some extraordinarily hot e-juice just splashed on his face. That very easily could have been eye which, running at this heat could have made for a very very serious injury. At the end he proceeds to burn his coil until the video abruptly cuts out.

    And these are the guys making this thing!!

    I don't know, but I don't get that "warm & fuzzy" from these guys. I hope everything works out for you and your device.

    I got my Cloupor T5 two weeks ago and the guys at wattsupvapor.com told me to go with either the vtc4 or vtc batteries. They did tell me that it goes through the battery quick, man they were not kidding! I wish this thing took a 26650. I dont know what this upgrade on the 16th is going to be but everyone is thinking that its going to up the wattage. More wattage on this unit seems like 3 mins of total vaping. I guess i'll see how my ipv3 with dual 18650's does with battery life. I may have to sell my T5 at that point.

    hey everyone I just got my t5 in today. I put my sony vtc5 in it and at 14 watts 100 puffs later, I am at 72%. I've turned it off twice and just went through the option I think the start up uses .2 or 1.0% .

    That's the best battery life I heard so far that means you should get over 300 puff, let us know how many puff you get out of that battery.

    Really? I get WAY more than 300 puffs between charges when I'm running 15 watts... To be honest I haven't paid enough attention to know for sure, but I know I've reset it when I've pulled it off the charger and definitely seen WAY more than 300 before charging again... If I had to guess I'd say 400 or so... Also using a VTC5... The next time I charge I'll reset the count and use it till she dies and report back...

    There is one possibility that comes to mind, Fix is coming for this battery ISSUE on Sept 16 in firmware update, So they say. Could be you gotten a newer version T5 with the updated firmware already, just a thought.

    I do get 250 to 300 and yesterday got 320 puffs with my Sony V4.

    Must be we got the real Sony battery and not the fakes going around, because people say there getting only 100+ puffs from their batteries.

    YES, I do get better battery life from my charger, than charging through the T5. I've check that out many times. I also get just a little bit more from my new EFEST battery than the Sony batteries maybe 20 more puffs.

    Thanks 4 letting me know your always getting 400+ puffs, I set that as my goal and work from that, knowing it can be done.

    BIG surprise. OH BOY, I can't wait. :D

    What the longest you all have been using your T5's? I've had mine for almost a week. Stopped working last night. Won't fire. And I can't get the check atomizer thing to come up like it should. I always looks like it's firing no matter what, and its not. Thought it was my atty at first, put adifferent rda on, and the ohm checker never changed. Which makes me believe it's the board, or an output wire from the board. Wahh, I'm having to vape off a spinner and T3D tank right now, and it blows big time, but not clouds!

    Fortunately I've been using mine about 3 weeks now with no issues at all. And I did start with a fully charged battery this morning (used usb to charge not a separate charger) running at 15 watts on a 1.4 ohm coil. I've got 100 puffs so far and I'm at 75 percent, but knowing how long it can run once it hits zero I'd say I should hit way above the 400 puff Mark. That's on a vtc5. I'll keep you updated

    Ok, she just died on me. It reached zero a little while ago, but kept going strong for a while. It technically didn't die (I.e. shut off) it just stopped hitting the way it had been so I knew it was about to, every hit was exactly the same from start to finish excluding the last 3 or 4 puffs. Anyway, this was from fully charged on usb. Was at 99 percent when removed from charger. Ran a 1.4 ohm build on my kayfun the entire time. 3 tanks I believe, a little over. At 15 watts. Anyway I got 450 puffs exactly. Again that's on a vtc5.

    Some of these must have less battery drain than others. I run a 0.3 ohm dual 22g kanthan 7 wraps each on a TOBH that chucks it nice at 25w. But I only get 80-90 puffs. That lasts me about one day though.

    One thing I did notice... And I'm assuming since Cloupor themselves have mentioned a "fix" for the battery being part of the update that this is probably what, or at least one of the things they were talking about...

    Normally I plug it in at night... But because I was doing this test, and it wasn't dead when I went to bed, I instead left it... But the next day once it finally died I switched off to another mod and plugged this one in (again, USB).

    Before I went to bed that night it was fully charged, so I went ahead and pulled it off the charger... I also went ahead and powered it down, because I have noticed that it'll drain even when not in use... Most of my regulated mods do this, so no surprise there.. So anyway, it was 99% when I powered it down...

    The next morning I got up and powered it back up... It was at like 81%... So a considerable drain overnight even in a "powered off" state... So I'm guessing that's definitely one thing they'll fix... and I'd assume it could make a decent difference in over all life even during the day as well...
