iStick30w vs cloupor Mini 30w

[softshell46]

Morning! I posted last night about needing to get a new mod (my MVP 2.0 has threading issues lol..still working on that but luckily was able to put a tank on today!! YAY!) I'm debating the 3.0 (first choice but I can't find any info on whether Innokin stuck with the brass or switched to stainless on the MVP3) soooo....that being said - I'm now debating istick vs Cloupor (I gotta buy below $70 on this and either get to my local places or order expedited shipping online - suggestions on where you like to order are welcome!) What say you? Which would you pick?

iStick, I don't want to scare you but look up Cloupor Mini on Google and you'll see that some devices are hit or miss in the quality control department (some have even reported to melt). The iSticks are very decent little mods for the money.

Eek! yeah that doesn't sound like fun with the Cloupor! Honestly would LOVE a Seigali .. thinking maybe seeing if the bf will get me one for my birthday in June lol. He still smokes but only 4-5 cigs and only at night if he's having a beer. He has no interest in vaping unfortunately, but will take a hit if I have a great flavor and want him to try it. My 16yr old is dying to vape..he picked up cigarettes, much to my disgust, and although I won't allow it - he'll manage behind my back. Looking forward to being able to allow him to vape a well. Thank God for vaping...saving a lot of lives from smoking for sure!

Get him a vaporizer, being a former hard headed teen and smoking behind my parents back 25 years ago I can honestly say I wish we had what we have now back then.
I'm not saying you should condone it and I might get slammed for saying this but I'd rather my kid vaped in front of me than smoked behind my back.

Sigelei makes an affordable 30w version as well. I believe it might be similarly priced to the iStick 30w if you shop around, either way both are great devices and you can't go wrong with either. I'd stay away from the Cloupor Mini though.

Yeah I've considered that - but then I'll have to put my juices in my safe to keep him from them LOL. He's gotten in a speck of trouble over the past month so we'll see how his grades are by summer. I don't want to encourage going against the rules for him when I have to be tough on that WITH him right now..he's got to earn that right. I too don't take issue with him vaping at this age, considering he's pilfering butts from ashtrays anyway. (hard to do with mom - when she's barely smoking ) I like the pass thru ability..so I think I'll go with the iStick for now. Thanks!

Not a problem hope you enjoy that new mod and stay strong with the kid they can be a challenge sometimes, you just gotta keep pushing.

Segelei 30 or 50, iStick, or MVP 3, but do NOT even consider the Cloupor.

I know ya said below 70, but you can get the istick 50 for right at that price. I have a 30, which I love, but the 50 has twice the battery life. I will point out that I sub ohm
mostly so I do wish I had longer life before charging.

 

[softshell46]

Thanks (don't I know it! LOL)

 

[softshell46]

I know little about sub ohming - and I'm still investigating it. Seems scary to me lol - but LOVE the cloud capability! I'm a glutton for clouds! As a newbie, I'm still learning about batteries, charging, ohms, wattage and voltage, resistance etc. Funny - I was once married to an electrician and STILL don't quite 'get it". LOL

 

[mesamay2003]

Sigelei Mini 30, iStick 30 or 50...if super small size is important to you, get the iStick 30...

Put a Kanger Subtank or a Nautilus tank on that iStick 30, you'll get plenty of clouds!
If you want to dip your toes but don't get too wet grab a Kanger Subtank Mini this has a rebuildable section you can play with your own builds and it can still use replaceable throw away coils as well. Just remember that only the regular sized and mini Subtanks come with the rebuildable section.

 

[Swordsbeer]

well what tank are you using? reason I mentioned sub ohm, is a have a Kanger sub tank, and just got the sub tank mini. The coils they come with are .5 and 1.2, plus the rebuild able deck. with sub ohming, you tend to use higher wattage/voltage, decreasing how long you can go before charging.

 

[softshell46]

Oh wow - bf just said I can get what I want for early birthday gift! This opens the doors now to a Sig!

 

[softshell46]

I have an Aspire Nauti on my mvp 2 right now and love it...I DO want to get a Kanger though!

 

[v1k1ng1001]

I absolutely love my sigelei 50w v2, and I found it for $60. I would also recommend the sig mini 30w.

Do not buy the Cloupor. I have an older cloupor device and it's junk.
