From what I've read so far, sniffing the glue might be safer than vaping a Cloupor

I admit I also like cheap price combined with good looks but that's where the traps often is. I bought fairly low priced IPV mini with good specs and looks but now it's unusable. Should have paid little more and buy Innokin or similar established brand. All ready have a few of those and have no problems.
Traded my Clouper mini away to coworker 2 weeks back to get a Sigelei 30w mini. Spring pin ftw and all that. Tonight of all nights (i bartend) my sigelei's chip seemingly starts acting up. Ohms jumping all over the place everytime i fire regardless what topper i put on it. Can't figure it out as i've babied the hell out of this thing.
Meanwhile i swear i've watched him drop that Clouper on the hard kitchen floor every time i've gone back there this week, battery cover flying off and everything...he picks up and it keeps trucking along. Go figure.

Yeah you never really know so there goes my established brand theory. I've had Sigeley and Smoktech in the past, they didn't last tong either but my old Vamo V1 still works even tho I only use it as Ohms checker now.
Think I'll just stick to Innoking, they never failed me yet.

Laffin ' my ass off. Like you said , go figure. So next you'll pop a Mutant on your Vaporshark and fry that too lol. Hey did I mention, it's Friday the 13th oooooh.
My own theory falls right in line with that picture above....it's all one big relative crap shoot with this current box mod market. Search long enough and you'll find a decent size of people swearing every single one is a piece of shit that failed them miserably. Some are just louder about their experiences then others.
That overlying reality does a pretty good job hiding itself by nature in places like these message boards though, mostly dominated by hobbyist types (like myself) always on the lookout and buying the next cool/better thing. Sparing the old device it's adequate evaluation period or absolute need to hold up to any normal'ish consumer standard. V2 a week latter? OH MY, in the cart it goes.
Personally, i blame Provari. Had the the Provari 3 came out better better specs that kept it both competitive and relevant, i could have probably saved myself countless individual box purchases right there
I bought one of these when they first came out and I really like mine. I saw the problem with it being a fire hazard so I tested it several times. I put a .5 ohm coil on it and fired it until the auto shut off kicked in at 15 seconds. It seemed to be ok, so I did it twice, back to back, and it still seems fine, so I decided to keep using it. After a couple weeks the 510 got loose, and I decided to try to get a replacement. Cloupor was very quick with the customer service, and they refunded me 34 bucks and change, which is slightly less than what I paid for it on fasttech. I then decided that I may as well try to fix the connector myself. I just got a syringe of self mixing epoxy, which is thinner than normal, flows about like model glue. I took the cover off and filled around the connector with it, being very careful not to touch the board or the edges of the box. It worked like a charm and is as solid a rock now. I took some pictures but they aren't worth posting as the epoxy is clear, and you can't see it in there. Just my two cents.
Just hope your shizzle doesn't sizzle when you are away.

Sometimes there is an easy fix to otherwise faulty mod but why should we have to be fixing something we buy new.

LOL man I feel your pain... The P3 was just too little too late .. had it been 30-40 watts I would have bought it in a heartbeat.. just didn't seem worth it for 20 watts
imo this box http://vapingunderground.com/threads/mile-high-mods-nucleus-v1-0.52992/ exceeds the Provari standard.

At least you got cloupor to refund you 34$ - the magic number they decided to send me was $27 and some change.. where do they come up with these refund amounts?
if you have extra proxy left over and would be willing to fix mine - I'll try and make it worth your while (and pay for shipping to/from) - don't have time to deal with all of that
OH WHAT!!!!!! I bought mine from GEARBEST for $24 bucks, shoot I said it before I will never buy crapor products again but I can't pass on the $24,I'm still waiting for it to come in the meantime Im already vaping on my sigeleie mini 30 watts got it for $33 bucks,vaping at .4 with no problems so far,its a SOLID DEVICE,the form factor is really nice and sturdy,quality is top notch!!! I will give the crapor mini to my wife so Ican get my eleaf 30 back hahaha

It just shipped...
LOL.. and now they are taking off for their holiday - they responded back to me finally saying to email them after March 1st.. I can only imagine how many people they are NOT responding to and digging their grave even deeper in the process.. I LOVE IT!
OMG!!!
What....A bad batch...Have a bad one waiting for a good one...waiting for the 2nd addition.... maybe the next one will be better... /// OK let me say the coupler mini is a piece of crap even if not one of them failed. And you ask why or how can you say this. Simple LOOK AT THE WIREING .
