Update. On closer inspection, I find that the juice holes are smaller, and the coil is lacking the 'CE' mark, and 'don't chuck in the dustbin' mark - if that is what it is. Also: Original: 4.2v - 5.0v These: 3.3v - 6.0v Otherwise, they are the same size and fit both Mini and Maxi bases. When I say original, I mean ones I have bought from Myepack. I will have to try one out and see how it goes..  |

Well, for about £18 I think it is worth it, and bought mine because it is so much cheaper than anywhere else. I will also just charge the batteries outside of the unit, and possibly get a sleeve for it, the same as I got one for my iStick 30W, which makes it quite comfy in the hand, and also adds some protection for it too. Also, there are only 3 days left on that site to buy one at that price. |

Yep, 8 x 1.8ohm BVC coils arrived this morning, great stuff. I shall probably order some more, so that I have plenty of spare coils for my Nautilus Mini and Maxi. |

Thanks JayJ for the advice and thoughts. I am still looking forward to getting it, in theory 7-25 days. I am hoping that liking the device will over come any niggles, but at least I know what to look out for. |

Thanks for the advice. I have seen somewhere else that a user had to keep re-adjusting the pin when swapping or even putting back a tank. Most of my 18650's have flat tops, so that should be ok. I will probably take out the iStick 30W or MVP2 when out and about, and leave the Cloupor at home...minus battery, just in case. Some little niggles I will have to get used to, unless it sets itself on fire of course, or explodes and destroys my handsome face At least I will have trashed about 18 quid instead of twice that if it all goes poo shaped. |

Looking forward to getting it, as it seems to have good reviews. The only possible downside is the claims that they can catch fire, but since I doubt I will be firing my usual Nautilus tanks at 30W for 15 seconds, I am not too worried. But I will test it out though as others have done to see if it shows the 'too hot' error. But, at half the normal price here, I figured it was worth a punt. |

I posted on their FB page that I had not heard anything regarding delivery, and got a reasonably quick reply back from them to say that I should receive the coils tomorrow. Things looking up. |

Found this on sale @ £18.75 from here:
www.banggood.com/Cloupor-Mini-30W-Variable-Wattage-VW-VV-APV-Box-Mod-p-976384.html
So, I decided to buy it yesterday, and checked order progress today and find it has been despatched.
I am willing to gamble the 18 quid since if it is genuine and works, then it is a lot cheaper than any where else that I can find. I could be proved wrong though.
I wanted a small mod that has a replaceable battery that in theory should give me a longer life than my (luverly) iStick 30W, but what do I know ?
If I remember I will update this when I receive it and have used it for a few days or thereabouts, as to how it works out. |

Nil heard from them today regarding BVC coils.........have I lost my £9 I wonder ? Although payment has been made via PayPal, they may be waiting until the actual money is with them, as it takes a couple of days before payment (although listed for payement) actually goes through my Bank.
Hey ho, time will tell. |

Yep, also got a receipt from PayPal, but nothing from the vendor just yet, timed at 12:55 pm. Maybe tomorrow regarding delivery. |

Well, I have just ordered the pack of 8 coils: 8 x coils = £8.99 with free postage. This includes the discount code: EQ10 So, I reckon it is worth a £9 gamble... If all goes well, then I will add it to my (ever growing) list of sites to buy from.......the free postage is a bit of a bonus when checking prices. |

I bought my iStick 30W from these people, who also do the iStick 50W for £38.99. Now that is a delivered price, i,e,. free delivery, (something to take into account when buying) and the 30W turned up the next day after ordering. Good price and service, and would buy again. puremist.co.uk/eleaf-istick-50w |

Battery door SHITE, 510 threads SHITE I tend to disagree. Battery Door. I have had mine for a year now, and it still works just the same as when new, like loading a shot gun. 510 Threads. Again, no problems with mine, although I do tend to use the 'extender' for all tanks, and mainly use it at home whilst slumped in front of the TV. Perhaps you could provide reasons as to why you seem so disappointed in it ? |
