macmagoo, the 200 watt plus is usb upgradeable, but again reading the specs there is a failure to disclose if this can be performed by the purchaser or whether, as I suspect, it will be the same as the mini, dealer only at an additional cost. Good price but, no usb charging means it's crossed off my list. Think your assessment of macmagoo being a "troll" smokingaces is far wide of the mark. Knowing him personally, he is knowledgeable and extremely helpful as regards all things vaping with the added bonus of being a proper gentleman.

Striker like I stated £26 for a 200w temp control mod, is a bargain never charge with USB as just us my D4 chargers, not bothered about firmware updates. As for macagoo being knowledgeable don't know the guy but try's to compare mods that cost £120 plus against a £30 mod hmmm that not showing you have knowledge, also if you search the DNA 40 and SX350j there are plenty of consumers who have complaints about them, including myself.

I have two DNA 40's and an SX350J that last twice the amount of time that the Koopor can manage. If you don't want updates to sort the issues, thats fine, but don't expect everyone else to accept poor specification and customer service. Macmagoo look at the price of the Dna 40 and the SX350j hmmm and your trying to compare that too the £30 smok koopor? and you serious? also my vapour shark 40 went wrong after 4 months. Also what poor specification, it doe's what it say on the box, get off your high horse and go and be a troll on another thread bye. smokingaces there is no way that macmagoo was being a troll - far from it.

Chrissie that the way i see it sorry if offends but trying to compare mods of £120 to a mod that works great at £30, and not getting pulled into a debate on it.

And that's just what it was - a debate & quite frankly, most threads on the forum are (& should be) open for debate

It looks like you have missed the whole point that macmagoo was making through sharing his knowledge, smokingaces. As I understand him, his point was that the battery life and other minor issues the Koopor mini has, could be improved with the upgrade. Another valid point he made was that initially it was never mentioned that the upgrade would require "special tools" or returned to the dealer to have it done. Either way it is going to incur an additional cost, which may not make the device that cheap for what it is. But, if you're happy with the device as it is with the poor battery life, then so be it. There will be thousands like you, but then again there will be thousands like macmagoo who won't buy it. You've quite clearly formed your opinion of macmagoo by the couple of swipes you've had at him, tis not really what this forum is all about IMO. Maybe somewhere along the line smokingaces, you might be the benefactor of some of his knowledge.

smokingaces I have been doing some experimenting with the Koopor Mini and batteries. I do know what the issue is and it is definitely fixable. I have been checking the batteries when I remove them from the Koopor Mini and all of them are showing 3.7V when the battery indicator is almost at its lowest point which would suggest it is calibrated incorrectly. The batteries I used were a Samsung Q30, Sony VTC5 and an LG HE2 all of them came out of the Kooper Mini still showing 3.7V.

Macmagoo yes that would show some form of calibration problem but depending on the make up of the board inside would depend how difficult it would be too fix.

The batteries I used were a Samsung Q30, Sony VTC5 and an LG HE2 all of them came out of the Kooper Mini still showing 3.7V. That can also be caused by poor soldering, poor grounding, thin wire, poor connectors etc as the board will see a high voltage sag under load and reject a good battery. I have this problem with a Yiloong flask I have put a DNA40 in the casing is so cheaply made with no earth proper ground path it rejects good batteries, connect a cheap eBay battery sled and bingo the battery drains down to 3.4 V without issue. Not saying it is the problem here, but worth considering.
