Have both istick and recently got the clouper, the istick lasted 5-6 months of daily use, before the board does it's own thing, but for 22 quid or so can't complain, can't say much on the clouper, apart from the fire button could be bigger, being able to change the battery is a bonus, and the cover being held on with magnets is a doddle to change batteries, ordered a smok xpro m80 last night That will seem mahoosive in comparison (I've got one of those as well ) Just compared measurements to my istick 50 and it's roughly 8mm wider and 2mm taller, so pretty similar to that, I is happy, well I will be when it turns up haha

Got both - both great in my opinion. Clouper feels heavier and more solid in the hand though with the added advantage of changing batts as well as usb charging.

I gotta agree with both worlds.
However, the Cloupor Mini has had it's faults, and I never even owned one myself. If you're asking the question I'm giving the answer.
The Cloupor Mini wins hands down - nuff said!!

collie2011 just wanted to add that your vamo batteries might not be suitable for the clouper and possible a subtank. So you may have to factor in getting new batteries if you go for the clouper

personally I have 1 istick 20 and 2 cloupors, given the choice of only one of them, I'd pick the cloupor for the reasons already stated above

My clouper mini arrived from fasttech today. Couple of things I didn't see in the comments above:
Button top 18650s don't fit. I guess you could modify the clouper a little, but if you have a mix of batteries that may not help.
The old 18650s I recycled from a laptop, which work fine in a vamo, won't provide the power for the clouper, even when charged right up. Crank the clouper up to 30 watts and it delivers the equivalent of maybe the 10 watts setting on the istick 30. The clouper is fine with the anonymous 18650s I got from Torchy.
The istick hasn't got a high enough 510 pin. OK with a kayfun or goliath, but for instance the erlkonigen air flow wheel and the orchid air flow thumbscrews catch on the top of the istick and so you have to screw them down - maybe further than you like.
