If you got one of these silicone sleeves for the Cloupor Mini it will make the overhang of 22mm tanks less obvious and prevent the battery door shifting.
www.fasttech.com/products/3004/10013309/2283002
You can get different colours or styles just use the dropdown menu on the right where it says model.

Fasttech also sells clones of the Subtank Mini, this one has the best reviews, pretty much every review says its as good as the original and indistinguishable.
£11.95
www.fasttech.com/products/0/10012000/2199601-subtank-mini-styled-bdc-bottom-dual-coil

You can even get yourself a pack of different coloured O-rings there for extra style points.

The whole lot for less than the price of a genuine Subtank

I did think of looking at Fasttech but as I don't currently have a tank for the Cloupor, I didn't want to be waiting months for it to arrive, so decided I'd rather pay extra to get one in the UK.

I might buy a couple of those silicone sleeves though, thanks for the tip. Most of the colours hurt my eyes but the black and red ones look OK

Fasttech have improved their shipping recently my orders have been taking around 10days (including weekends) the last couple of times doveman

Thanks babs, I might try them for a Protank 2 v2 clone then if I decide to get one.

I was thinking of getting an airflow base for my mini Protank, as that's a very tight draw. I see there's a v2 and v3 for the mini www.discountvapers.com/kanger-air-flow-control-valve-base-replacements/ and I presume the v3 works better. These reviews for the full-size Protank version aren't very flattering though, although the second two seem to be complaining more about the tanks than the airflow base! www.kangeronline.com/products/airflow-control-valve

Has anyone used and would recommend them? Is there anywhere other than myepack that sells them and doesn't charge £3 shipping for a £3.99 part?

If you get a Subtank Mini, drop me a PM with your address and I'll send you a set of black o-rings gratis.
(I picked up a few sets as spares.)

I'd recommend you get yourself an up-to-date atomiser that just works out of the box rather than a year-old design that needs extra bits bolted on.
Plus you'll have forgotten all about your Mini ProTanks within half an hour!

And if you go for something like a Subtank Mini, I'll bet you'll be after a second or something else similar within a month!

Thanks ceedee but I already ordered the 5-pack of rings and a silicone sleeve as they only came to £3 and I decided not to hesitate as they'll take a while to get here anyway. So much appreciated but please save them for someone who really needs them.

If you're referring to the mini Protank, the only thing I'll be getting is the airflow ring, as I already have the tank. So I'm not thinking of getting a mini Protank instead of the Subtank.

I'm not sure I'll use the Subtank all the time due to the amount of juice it drinks and I've already got a couple of spinner batteries, which I'm not going to throw away, so might as well get the mini Protank working as well as possible, even if I only use it occasionally as a backup.

I use these batteries in mine:

Torchy is also another reliable source:

www.ebay.co.uk/usr/big_f_d_d?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754

Perpetua,

Just to check, can I use any 18650 battery in my Cloupor Mini, like these which are higher rated at 3100mAH and so should last a bit longer? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Efest-20A-purple-IMR-18650-3100mAh-button-top-3-7v-Li-Ion-protective-case-/121657899067?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c5360383b

I think I somehow knackered my existing battery when the charging lead shorted, as I described here allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/54220/lead-warm-whilst-charging-cloupor?page=1&scrollTo=939272

It still takes just as long to charge as it used to but seems to deplete a lot quicker now, so I need to buy some new batteries quite urgently.

will do you for the clouper and the price is for 2

The one I linked to is for 2 as well. Why would I want to get 2100mAh when I can get 3100mAh for a couple of quid more? Surely they'll last a fair bit longer between charging won't they?

[decoy]

tbh im not sure whats the lowest amp batt you can run the clouper on but the vt4,s are a ruddy good high amp batt that you can use in most mods safely

[flavourtank]

Personally I would go for vtc4's or Samsung 25r which are 2 for 9.99 at pure mist with free delivery

You can in theory doveman . . . . although there are a couple of ' buts ' from me -  it is a squeeze fitting a button top in a Cloupor Mini, personally I prefer a flat top in them.

There are better batteries to be had than Efests, how accurate that rating is - I don't have the technical knowledge to tell you, though I suspect it could be over rated a smidge?

Essentially I agree with the gents and their recommendations.

As an aside, I'd also be inclined to remove your battery for charging, which is easy enough with the magnetic door - for no other reason than I personally believe it to be safer whatever battery you choose to get.

Ah thanks, I didn't notice that one was flat top and the other button top.

I found these Torchy 3400mAh flat tops for £17.99/pair www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Torchy-Panasonic-Inside-3400mAh-Flat-Top-18650-3-7v-Li-ion-batteries-case/291474750355?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D31101%26meid%3D5f6e2c1a4be44b7bbd0059feef882456%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D121657899067&rt=nc so maybe they'd be OK.

I think I'm going to just get the two Samsung 2500mAh for £9.99 from Pure Mist though puremist.co.uk/ecigarette-accessories/pure-mist-batteries/2-SAMSUNG-25R-INR18650-25R-2500mAh and then get this charger which my friend has and recommended, which is only about £9 from Fasttech www.fasttech.com/products/1961001

I got one for my mini, stopped using it after a day, it's a pain in the neck having to remove it to replace the battery (I wont use the onboard charger) so I'm saving the sleeve for winter.
I bought the subtank minis from FT, they took 7 days to arrive (make sure you get an 'in stock' item) and that was without using the e-packet option
