I just received a Cloupor mini that I'm not really thrilled about but I'll put it aside for now.

It's heavy for such a small box. I read that it's made from SS. It slipped out of my hand a couple of times in the short time I was trying it out.

gandy...by any chance do you have an eVic VTC Mini in addition to your Cloupor Mini Plus?

I just received a VTC and love it. But (to me) it's a little heavy (compared to my 30W-iSticks) and was thinking of getting a Cloupor...hoping it would be lighter.

(Both are only $29 at Efun.top.)

I don't own a VTC mini so I can't compare. Just FYI, I don't have the Cloupor Mini Plus, it's the original. I think they probably weigh the same. I was on a site that stated the weight of the Cloupor as 150 grams without the battery. I think the istick 20 and 30 are around 100 grams. Hope that helps.

Clapour+ without battery is 123.48g sitting on a scale in front of me.

I ordered the "Red" one too.

My "pink raspberry fuchsia hot pink" iStick-30W still continues to look BEAUTIFUL (to me)!

(It's no longer their "Deal of the Day"...but the price is still $22.17 and code YEAHBABY still => $19.95.)

For $22.95 (with code NEW15OFF)...the KBOX Mini (even with the fixed pin) is pretty inexpensive...

Sorry for the late response; both mods are on my short list, but I decided to wait for awhile. With the FDA's deeming regs upon us, I'm seriously rethinking my choices. Depending on what the final version of those regs will look like, I might just bite the bullet and buy the Radius--and hope that ProVape will have enough money and muscle to stay in business... :facepalm:

If you want to go a bit cheaper, Katya, grab a v2.5 Ti for $129. It's still one of my favorite mods, and the weight (or lack thereof) is amazing.

If I was buying another Provi today, I'd grab a 2nd one. GREAT deal.

Thanks, DP. I'm not quite there yet. I'm not familiar with that brand--is that ProVape, too???? I want a ProVari because their mods are supported by ProVape and can always be fixed, should something go wrong with the chip or anything else--assuming that ProVape survives, of course...

I'm going the Other route myself.

Buying Lots of Inexpensive Mods. I know each will Probably not last anywhere near as long a Provape Product. But I'm banking on Strength in Numbers.

That, and I have a Mild Obsession with Tacking Numbers/Vape Mail.

I honestly don't know which way I want to go. I own a mini ProVari; it does have its limitations--but it's my security blanket. And a few RBAs.

Just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Whatever happens will not happen overnight. But it's soooo annoying.

I never thought about the Ti being lower weight. The weight is the number one reason my mini is left at home and I get into "filler mods" like isticks. Do you know how much less it weighs?

If this deeming goes through without major modification, we could experience modifying our gear that we buy from head shops. The irony of it all.

Is it a sign that Groupon allows ads for "dry herb" atomizers but doesn't for ecigs and tobacco products? BTW, no brand ego style kits were $75 on sale.

Sorry, Katya. I should have been more specific. I was referring to a Provari Titanium, v2.5 (older version). They're workhorses, and on sale for $129 (they were close to $300 when they were first released).

In full size + extension mode, with an 18650 (no topper), it comes in a whoppin' 4.8 oz (135g).

It's marvelous. :D

Oh, I was confused... No more tubes for me--one is enough. I'd rather pay more for a Radius. I love box mods. :D

Ya know some'm. The Ti Provari really IS all that and more. Understandably a tube mod, but certainly not one to be discounted. At that price, it's unbelievable. I think it may be right up there with the best Provis ever made.

I join you in the love of boxish mods, but the Ti? There's just something VERY special goin' on...

I LOVE my Mini. C'mere, baby. :wub:

Did you get your Xvostick clone in and have a chance to try it out yet? Maybe a quickie little review? Thx.

Yes, I sure did, and DPL and I plan to do a quickie.

(did I just say THAT???) :facepalm:

I mean a mini review. There's already some that have discussed it, and we'll just be adding to the info, particularly some differences we've noticed between it and the authie.

Come join us?

YaYa Sisterhood, I highly doubt you'd be unhappy with the Radi, from the reports and reviews I've seen. I may also jump on that bandwagon down the line.

I dunno about mods, but I can tell you that a full-titanium-body Achilles, 22mm wide, 35mm tall not counting the 510 and driptip, weighs about the same, or a bit less, than a Kanger T3S -- it's amazing how lightweight the stuff is, but strong and scratch-resistant.

If this deeming goes through without major modification, we could experience modifying our gear that we buy from head shops. The irony of it all.

As my grandfather always told me... there's more than one way to skin a cat. ;)

The Heatvape Defender 50w, in a new shade of (Chinese red) pink! Lightweight, smooth, comfy... flawless.

I like. A LOT. ;)

Wowzers. Methinks you selected well, Ms. Kitty.

And love the Aussie tank. Return of da Karto Kween?

Kewl. :cool:
