Sigelei 30x mini, XPro M50 or Cloupor mini?

[xxJollyRogerxx]

I am in the market for a small APV and have been reading up on these 3 models as they seem to be the smallest models with replaceable batteries that are out there.

I was wondering if anyone can give any current info on some or all of these?

I have 3 iSticks so please don't tell me to get one of them but I do have a bunch of 18650s so I would like to get a mod that I can use them in and I have more attys than mods at the moment
I don't need more than 30w as I have mechs if i want to go that route.


I am looking for a Spring loaded 510 pin, Easy battery changing, Reliability, Cost under $100 and Accurate chipset.
So after looking at all of these none of them are "all I ever wanted" they all seem to fall short on one of these points

Cloupor Mini
510 screw (not left handed) -
Smallest in size of three -
Battery cover is report to be "clicky" meaning when you pick it up or push on the cover or shake it a little there is a clicking sound
Magnetic battery cover -
Bad reputation - seen mentioned many times as "crapor" -

smok XPro M50
Spring load 510 -
2nd smallest in size -
4 screws to change battery - 4!? PITA!
Rep is rather neutral -

sigelei 30x mini
Spring loaded 510 -
Largest in size - It looks huge next to the Cloupor
Magnetic battery cover (and a rubber jacket for it) -
Rep is very good -


I really like the size of the Cloupor but after all the reading of people blasting them I am not sure I want to spend my money there. Have they fixed the issues with the chip yet??

The XPro M50 look good as well but OMG 4 screws to change the battery!? I am WAY too lazy to be bothered with that! And someone mentioned, it "felt" cheap. Is this true to anyone who owns one?

The Sigelei looks good but I really wouldn't call this a "mini". I mean maybe comparatively speaking with their other models but not when compared to the iStick or the Cloupor. it is way bigger.

So is there any feedback anyone can give me on any of these? Likes / Dislikes, general thoughts and ponderations?

I just went through the same thing and ended up ordering the Sigelei

I also was in the same dilemma recently. It can be so confusing weighing the pros and cons of each device. I am now awaiting the arrival of my new Sigelei Mini 30 and Kayfun V4. I love vapemail, but I hate waiting for it...

Been down the same road as you after wanting to upgrade from a iStick 20. I have a Sig 100w Plus which is nice but awful big for daily carry. I know you dont want to hear it but I got a iStick 30w and its a great little device. Adjustable 510 pin and some nice upgrades over the 20w. I may grab the 50w as well to see what its like. For the money, they cant be beat in my opinion.

Definitely go with the Sigelei. I don't have the 30 but I do have the 150 and it's a very solid device. In fact, I'd say out of all my mods in current use, it's my favorite. The 510 connection is top notch, the fire button is tactile and feels great and it fires instantly every time.

Right now I'd say that along with my iStick 50 are my two favorite mods but if I had to pick just one it would have to be the Sigelei.

Lastly, I used the X-Pro M50 for about 1 month and it ended up being one of the worst mods I've ever used. Just stay away from it.

Just got myself a Sigelei mini 30w and loving it so far. its a bit larger than the m50 and cloupor but the mod is of high quality and the chip has no issues. only con for me is that the buttons aren't very clicky.. i love clicky buttons

 

[ddarlington24]

I will add i had a similar debate and i wish i would've chosen the sigelei 30w mini lets just say i have one others , i think you made the correct choice.

I have the Cloupor mini and I love this device. Most people who own them do. That said, I also ordered the Sig mini but do not have it yet. It is the same dimensions as the Cloupor except for the height so should be a great fit in your hand. I had a Sig 100. It was a great device but too big for me. Gave it to my son. I did love the sleeve that it came with. The Cloupor is very heavy for it size. Surprisingly so but it does feel great in the hand. It is a toss up to me between the 2.

 

[v1k1ng1001]

The Sigelei mini is the obvious choice.

Went thru same checklist 2 days ago, ordered a Clouper. Seems they may have addressed their fire issues, have a large & happy user group here. And if it doesn't work out ..... Phhhht, it's not a huge investment, I've spent more on bad dinners at a restaurant many times

I have the Cloupor and Sigelei mini 30 watts. I like both of them. The Cloupor is definitely smaller but slightly heavier than the Sigelei. The Sigelei fires faster and I like the silicone sleeve. I find myself using the Sigelei more because the Cloupor is almost too small for me. No rattle on the Cloupor buttons, but the Sigelei firing button can rattle on mine.

We just got the sigelei in at our shop and i grabbed one. So far love it and it's build quality is great. I own a SMY 260 and a istick 20w so this is just a bit bigger than the istick and much more manageable to use while driving than my SMY...lol

Overall i like it better than the clouper and istick.

 

[Btsmokincat]

I liked my first Sig 30 I immediately bought a second one. Solid craftsmanship!

Istick 20, two Sig 30's, IPV Mini 2 and a Sig 50 (obviously not in that order)

Hey thanks for all the feedback guys! It really does help to hear some current info on them. Interesting that the Smok M50 wasn't mentioned at all. The reviews I saw were not all that bad. I guess they just don't have a following. I know I saw someone on the boards here at one point who said they had one but not much beyond that.

And thanks for the line up BTsmokincat! Out of them all which one do you like the best?

 

[Btsmokincat]

The Sigelei's are flawless and my favorites. The IPV works just as well but the quality isn't as good, IMO.

 

[sketch804]

Just did the same thing as well. Settled on a sigelei 30w and couldn't be happier! Good luck to you!

 

[xxJollyRogerxx]

Yea I think I am leaning towards the Sigelei at this point; it's in my cart at the moment! When everyone is saying "eat the meatball" it is kinda hard not to try it and like Light Seeker said it is not a huge investment.
I can find plenty of positive reviews on just about all their models so that does make me think they are doing something right yanno. Not to mention the thumbs up from this thread they got.

I did missed Obscene Jesters post about the M50; definitely that is the feedback I was looking for. I got a Vox 50 from Vapor Fi as a present; the thing did not even last a week. It was a total nightmare. The thing was auto-firing on his own. I was adjusting the center pin and sparks are shooting out of it then woke up the next day and it won't even power up. I think it fried its own board. I left in my sig so if anyone asks me about it I can give them fair warning not to even try it. Total POS and huge waste of money.

I think I may order a Cloupor, just for giggles and something else to play with, from Fasttech or Focalecig (ugh just looked and the cloupor is sold out on Focal) so maybe FT; I wonder if that is a good or bad sign.

What kind of 510 pin does the Sig 30w Mini have? I looked at a pic of it at Element Vape and it does not look to be floating. Adjustable is nice but I would rather have a spring loaded pin like the 100w Plus.

 

[Monotremata]

Its floating. I've had mine for over a week now and the Sig has sent all my other mods to "the drawer of no return". Think I'm gonna get another just because..

Yup it's spring loaded and a very sturdy solid quality pin by the feel of it. No side to side wobble like my IPV Mini 2 pin.
