**Cloupor T8**

I got mine in today, and I love it so far, especially compared to my Coolfire 2. It's my first APV this advanced, with my first rda on it, so I still have some exploring to do with it, but I focused on safety before fun to start with. So this is what I have going on it right now:

IGO W6 with quad build, verticle coils, 28G AWG Kanthal, 12 wraps each, .5ohm

T8 is set at 30W, reading at .66ohm resistance, 4.4v. Puff count is at 74, and battery is at 98%. Keeping an eye on temperature as I tend to chain vape. It got hot once (53 celsius, while I was adjusting my coils), and the T8 promptly denied me until it cooled down.

The T8 is DC-DC PWM Control System,the simple digital voltage meter can not get accurate data,Just AVG.The power voltage of a battery drops quickly when it is set at a very high wattage when you're using it,if the battery power is enough we should be able to get the high voltage at the peak of the PWM system.But as the battery begins to get weak it cannot continuously reach the high wattage setting,because of the batteries ability itself is limited.In this situation other companies that are making high wattage mods directly cut off a mod from working you even cannot vape it,there mod screen will show low battery or check battery and this kind of situation.For safety and to keep vaping we just cut down the voltage level so you will not get into a situation that maybe very damaging to the batteries and the mod,There are 3 situationsthat will cause a battery to explode the outside or inside of the battery gets too hot are overcharged are over discharged,so we use this way to avoid over discharge of the battery which may bring terrible issues.Safety should be the first and most important consideration when using the T8.

I was looking through the thread and hoped somebody would put this info out there. I see a lot of comments that the T-8 doesn't function up to specs. The problem is, people are trying to measure with the wrong type of equipment. I suspect a lot of the comments come from recent converts to the regulated world.

Bottom line is, you can't use a yardstick to measure how many gallons are in a bucket. (OK, you can, but you have to convert the measurements)

Just picked up my T8 tonight and loving it!

Regardless of how they are measuring the voltage output, vaping on it is enough to know. When you compare the same wattage against a mod that is proven to do its rated power you will see the difference. It is demonstrated in quite a few videos at this point now.

I just wish cloupor could make a chip set that works, or just use the proven ones already out there. They by far make the best looking and feeling boxes, they just are not putting the right stuff inside of them lol.

I agree completely.
I put an RDA on my mech and hit it on a fresh battery. Checked voltage, calculated watts.
Same RDA on the T8, wattage set to match.
Hit it and choked. No measurements taken on the T8. Just made sure the coil was within the range of the device.

I think a lot of it comes from people trying to apply mech-logic to regulated devices, in other words, failing to fully understand how they actually work.

People who have other (accurately reading ) regulated 150 watt devices have compared the two and there is definitely something not right with the T8 .

I agree shotgun,I'm in same range as for my builds as LReyes is i think,having said that,150 watts is what others expected and myself that would not go over too good with me it feels good in my hand with the rounded shape and so on however Cloupor seems to me that they are digging a hole deeper and deeper for whatever reason!

It's not purposeful on Cloupor's part of course , it's just that they have very very little experience in making chips . If i could replace their chips with a YiHi that would be a killer mod.
 
I purchased one, and prooved it to the shop I bought it at that this thing is a far cry from 150 watts, about half. They still refused to give me a refund because the device still turns on. They totally didnt take into account that its not a simple e cig, the whole purpose was to provide 150 watts.

I also emailed Cloupor and told them my findings and they gave me the speech about the PWM and it works right but my batteries are just not good, I have LG 35amp. They are just feeding us that crap to try to shut us up. People have put their mods on the oscilloscope and it does not out put PWM signal. You can hear PWM on these mods as it will sound like a rapid fire like the old ZMax.

At the end of the day they both still got my money and I am left with a crap box that a potato out performs. I purchased an IPV3 and was not let down as it performs just to specs. I also asked Cloupor why my T8 cannot produce the same vapor at 100w as my IPV3 on the same atty. I am waiting to see the crap they try to shovel me on that one.

Little experience making chios doesnt cover up outright lying. Why, how, even possible to get 100 watts out of the T8. If they did I want to see it and I still wont believe it. I probably have more electronic experience than them. I am going to open up the T8, fix it for them and then sell it used.
