Mini Clouper vs Vapor Shark DNA

[BraveNewWorld]

Besides spring loaded pin vs adjustable pin, and price am I missing any differences? Or similarities?
Which one in your opinion is better ? I know the clouper mini isn't out yet but what previous experience with clouper is there?
do I have to wait till the mini comes out to see what happens or does anyone have information that may help me make up my mind now? Maybe based on the companies previous track records. Thank you!

No contest. Cloupor is very hit or miss. Vaporshark only uses genuine dna boards.

If you want quality without dropping serious coin look at Yihi based mods.
The new ipv Mini is comparable to a DNA30 mod and runs about 60 dollars.

I looked at the IPV mini and I don't like the way it looks. I'm looking for istick form factor with a boost and a down regulator chip. Battery life on istick doesn't make up for only being able to run a mini nauti and 4 hits till it's burnt. I just bought a kayfun and I know it's going to burn on the istick, plus I don't trust the threads on the istick. I am looking at the lemo too. I want the kayfun on my provari, the mini nauti on the istick, and a better box mod like vapor shark with the lemo. In the long run all reliable tanks with reliable mods. The istick nauti combo being cheap to be left somewhere just in case I forget it in public/bar.
With the mini clouper coming out I didn't know if I could save some money and be happy with that, so I asked about past reputations no need to wait then I can set my sights on the vapor shark.
Do they all sound like decent set-ups?

I think I overlooked the non replaceable battery in the DNA....that's a problem....I want a replaceable battery.

The Cloupor can't hold a candle to the Vaporshark but their price differences can tell you that. The iPV mini got a so so review on Vaping Cheap , lots of issues with the YiHi chip.

So for quality the vapor shark seems have it. And I just learned I can send it in for the battery replacement. Ok I'm set I think.

The VS DNA 30 doesn't regulate down. None of the evolv DNA 30 devices do. I don't know if the clouper does.

I picked up a DNA 30 this past weekend and it's a great little device. It's about the size of an Istick but more boxy. With a sharkskin, it's more comfortable in my hands than the Istick. I've been using it with a 1.5Ω build in a KFL+ @ 12.5w and it's a great little combo. You really can't beat a genuine Evolv DNA30 device for under $100.

I have the VS rDNA 30 and I really like it. Just a little bigger than the VS DNA. I really wanted to like the DNA, but needed something with more battery life.

The VS DNA 30 doesn't regulate down. None of the evolv DNA 30 devices do. I don't know if the clouper does.

The Cloupor specs state 3.6v - 7v, 7w - 30w. I'm not sure why they'd only down regulate to 3.6v and not 3.0v or 3.2v unless it doesn't really down regulate and only fire as low as the battery charge.

I think the Cloupor Mini is a good looking mod but I'd wait for reviews. Even though it's only $50, it could be a waste of $50 if it's not good.

I have both rDNA 40 and now the DNA 30. Both are great devices.

Probably right on the voltage on the clouper.

It might be worth waiting to see what the MVP 3.0 sells for. It's supposed to have a genuine evolv chip. Of course I don't think it will be as small as all the new minis coming out.

I guess as long as they (clouper and dna) are in RMS mode down regulation shouldn't be too much of an issue though.
