New mod..Cloupor 30W Box Mod or IPV v2

[wykyd450r]

Kinda new to vaping but want something a little more than my vtr. Not so sure I need 50 watts, sp I am considering the Cloupor dna 30 clone. Its cheaper than the ipv also. Just curious of peoples opinions on which is the better unit. Dont mind paying the extra for the IPV if the quality is better. Any help is greatly appreciated.

*Edit*

I read where both have a few issues. Just wondering which is the least serious. Such as the upgraded 510 connection on the cloupor. How can I tell while looking at one if its the updated 510.?

The ipv quality is bad, that simple. It has quality issues and the back panel is a bit over laping. the touch sensor in my opinion is kinda stupid and worthless. IPV uses the yihi chip that goes up to 50 watts. Im getting a cana clone by cloupor from Elev8 Vape which is 70 freaking BUCKS!
Im sure im going for the cana modz.

Thanks!! As I said, I knew both had some issues. One main concern on the cloupor 30 is I seen a review that said its readings werent accurate. In my opinion, I like the looks of the Cloupor better. I guess if the majority are satisfied, I'd feel better about the purchase. Being new, I might not even notice some of the flaws more experienced people do. I just know I cant afford to buy and regret.

I've had my cloupur 30 for about 3 weeks now, it is the updated version. Ive been running it with a kayfun at 0.8 ohm and all I can say is wow. Build quality on the cloupur is very good in my oppinion. I have noticed 0.1 difference between the display and the scope. Not a big deal I vape to taste not according to the display. I will tell you that I have not constantly vaped over 24 watts. I am using a e fest 2500 mha 35A High drain Battery with no problems. You can also use it as a pass through while charging. Good luck

I want to buy one, but is 30 watts enough ? And btw use the safest batteries. The efest are basically lg imr batteries. Well it works on the cloupor so its k.

I have the iPV 35 watt and the Cloupor DNA 30 , the iPV is superior in every way to me , i wanted a way to turn the dang thing off and the iPV allows that , not so with the Cloupor .

The iPV also comes with a one year warranty , the Cloupor, not even close. The iPV's build quality is superb , all you need to do is review the issues with the iPV and then review the issues with the Cloupor , then the decision becomes easy .

Ask in the iPV forum which one most prefer since most if not all also have the Cana , my iPV 35 watt cost me $71.00 and it's amazing.

Oh , and the iPV has a great original chip , the Cloupor , a cloned knockoff.

Heck man, you are right next door to me. Im in Coney. I been to Anarchy many times, so I was considering picking mine up there. Just wasnt sure if theirs was the updated ones. Thanks.

I own both and if I had to choose one the IPV2 would be my choice without hesitation. The battery life is so much better with the IPV2 and it doesn't suffer from run on issues like the Clouper does. It also carries in my pocket better. I don't like the touch fire thingy but it's no problem to turn it off. If you ever plan on dripping (never say never) the IPV2 with it's 50W's is a lot more satisfying.

The Cloupor has been a fine mod but if you compare the two the IPV2 is superior in just about every way.

wykyd450r, Nice to see a local on here. Anarchy has both the updated cloupur and the IPV2 and just about any kind of rebuidable you can ever want. I hate getin into a P***** match over a mod refuse to go there, everyone has an opinion. I'm not crazy about the touch option that is what steered my purchase. Anarchy is a great place to look into small shop family run and more than willing to help.

No need to get upset about anything stated on this thread. Just give your opinion and move on. If someone else disagrees or has a different opinion well, so be it.

i have an earlier version of cloupor dna30 without logo, i freakin love this thing, for me 30 watts is plenty since i use almost nothing but kayfuns and rta's on this, if u want something for lower ohms go for the ipv2 i think it can handle .3 ohm compared to the cloupors .6 ohm, that being said i feel like the build quality is better on the cloupor and i think it looks sexier(if that matters at all), played with the ipv2 for awhile and almost bought one until i saw pbusardos review on it and that really highlighted the issues it has(not that cloupors hana clone doesnt have issues), personally tho ive never had to use above 20 watts and i save my drippers for my mech mod anyway, if u do decide on an ipv2 try to get it at a b&m where u can check it out and give it a good look over before buying, some have really noticible issues some are nicely assembled, buying online your taking a shot in the dark

I had a first version cloupor and currently own the IPV2 AND latest revision cloupor.

If I had to choose just one, IPV all day long. The chipset is hands down superior. Reads ohms and applies voltage much more accurately AND lets you regulate down to 3.6v.

Form factor and fit and finish, well I like the cloupor much more. The cloupors billet aluminium feels and looks better on every level. The IPV looks and feels flimsy. The remote control for my TV feels more robust than the IPV. I also hate the USB port placement on the IPV.

If I could swap the Cloupors guts for the IPVs then I would be thrilled.

No, the SX330 chip in the IPV2 does NOT regulate down. It only regulates up. Your lowest voltage is determined by the charge on your battery. At a full charge you will not get 3.6v.

I have a true DNA 30 and a clone. They both work great for me at the moment however the true DNA is more accurate in reading the resistance of the atty's and power output per user setting. My clone reads resistance fine up to 1.7Ω but at 1.8Ω it reads 2.2Ω going off by .4Ω. If your handy you could buy a Hana Style mod enclosure from fasttech and an Evolv DNA 30 board and have a really nice, durable, reliable 30w device for about $75 - $80. I do have some reservations on the clones mainly due to the number of failures I've read about on the forums. Some have had great luck like me "knock on wood" while others have burnt up in an hour, day, week, month etc. The IPV2s has also just recently been announced which is supposed to fix some of the shortcomings of the current IPV2 and take it up to 60w but I haven't seen a price point for them yet.

Well, I guess I should have read this BEFORE I bought my Cloupor 30w mod so I would have known in advance how disappointed I should be with it. Funny thing, I'm thrilled with it. Go figure.

That isnt true. It has a stated regulation from 3.6 - 8.5. It can regulate down to 3.6, reguardless of what the battery life is, because it only fires that voltage at the watts set. Its technically not regulating down at all if fired at lower watts. It will not fire above 3.6 at 10 watts with a 1.4 ohm build regardless of battery life.. It does not have stepdown, which means it cannot go below 3.6, its minimum voltage range. At a full charge you can get 3.6 easily at 10.0 W / 1.4 OHM. The point of a regulated chip is to be able to set your watts/voltage as needed.

I have an IPV2 and so far its been solid. The touch pad is a bit janky so I turned it off. Mine has none of the issues that Pbusardo pointed out in his review. Wasn't a huge fan of box mods before I played with this one in the B&M but I'm happy with it so far.
