Good day, dear vapers. Today we have a box mod with temperature control for review — Cloupor GT.
The Cloupor GT mod came for review not alone, but in the company of a sub-ohm tank Cloupor Z4, which will be discussed next time. Before proceeding to the review of these devices, it is worth saying a few words about Cloupor itself.
The Cloupor company, founded in 2013, has produced many replicas of popular mods, and under its brand such popular battery units as: Cloupor Mini – a mini box mod for one 18650 battery and a maximum power of 30 watts, Cloupor T6 – a box mod for two 26650 batteries and a maximum power of 100 watts and Cloupor T8 – a box mod for two 18650 batteries and a maximum power of 150 watts. These mods made a lot of noise in the vaping device market, the Cloupor Mini box mod achieved particular fame, which vapers liked for its compactness and characteristics. e juice canada Also in the arsenal of the Cloupor Company there are several clearomizers and kits for beginner vapers of the eGo format. In addition to battery units, the Cloupor company also produces atomizers, but about them – in the next review.

The appearance and interior of the Cloupor GT
The Cloupor GT battery pack (hereinafter referred to as the Cloupor GT BB or Cloupor GT) came to me without a box, as a pre-production sample. It remains only to assume that the pack will come with spare magnets, a warranty card and instructions, as was the case with its younger brother, the Cloupor Mini.
The Cloupor GT BB is a parallelepiped with rounded corners and edges. The design and manufacturing technology of the Cloupor GT case completely repeat the design of the Cloupor Mini. I am sure that Cloupor took this step quite consciously, realizing the success of its latest brainchild. I admit that I am very impressed with the Cloupor Company’s approaches to the design and production of battery blocks.
The block is manufactured using CNC Milling technology, or simply turned from a bar of aluminum (6061 billet aluminum) on a CNC machine. This processing technology allows achieving accuracy and precision of the final product. In the example of the Cloupor GT, this is visible to the naked eye. Also, thanks to the material, the Cloupor GT turned out to be very light – only 98 grams. But more on that later, for now let’s look at the Cloupor GT from all sides.
I received a black mod for review. There are control buttons on the front side. The “Fire” button is on top and two “+” and “-” buttons are below. Under the “Fire” button is the Cloupor GT board screen. The buttons are pressed with moderate force, and produce a pleasant and quiet click.
On one side is the Cloupor company logo and the name of the unit itself – GT. On the second side are longitudinal stripes for easy grip. Similar stripes could be seen on the Cloupor Mini unit. Another side is closed with a lid. The lid has a pattern of dots. On the bottom edge there is only a recess for easy opening of the lid.
On the top edge is the 510 connector. The connector is made of brass. I will immediately make a reservation about the material of the connector. Some people do not like the brass connector due to the fact that brass is a fairly soft metal. But the connector does not cause me any inconvenience at all. For a fairly long time of using the Cloupor Mini with a similar connector (except for the pin adjustment), it remained in its original form. The thread is even, the connector itself is not damaged. Perhaps, careful handling of devices plays a role here. I recommend wiping the mod connector and the atomizer connector at least once every few days. It is not difficult, but will keep your devices working.
The lid is attached with two magnets. The magnets are now rectangular, which has reduced the lateral play of the lid. There is still some play, but it does not cause any inconvenience during everyday use. The lid is removed quite easily, but not so much that it flies off under its own weight.
Let’s move on to the interior. Cloupor GT is designed to work with two 18650 batteries. The batteries operate in series connection, which makes it possible to increase the power (with a series connection, the power is summed up). With this type of battery connection, the battery pack uses the power reduction mode more than the increase.
As for the contents of the Cloupor GT, everything is done very carefully. There is a small gap between the wall on which the buttons are located and the plate that covers the insides. Considering that I have a test sample in my hands, this drawback will most likely be corrected in serial production.
Cloupor GT impressions and overall rating
I have been using Cloupor GT for a week now. During the time I have used this battery pack, I have only positive impressions of it. Below are the pros, cons and nitpicks about the device:
Nick-findings and cons
Coating. After a week of use, the bottom surface of the unit was covered in scratches. This problem can be solved with a case or stickers. Despite the possible solutions, the fact of the weak coating is unpleasant. Let’s hope that this drawback will be eliminated in serial production.
Lift play. It is small, but still there. This is more of a nitpick than a minus.
No “strap”. A tail with which it is convenient to get the batteries. It is not here. But I would like it.
Pros
Auto mode TC. I did not have to adjust anything except the preferred temperature. Nothing. I set the temperature and vape. A clear victory in simplicity over competitors today.
Assembly. The build quality is top notch. All the parts fit perfectly, everything is closed and beautifully laid out. It’s just nice to hold a neat thing in your hands.
Menu. More precisely, the lack of it as such. This fact greatly simplifies the use of the device. There is no need to constantly climb into the menu of 5-7 items, make 10-12 clicks to change the temperature or power.
Of course, you can cite many more small advantages, such as design, convenience, weight, and so on, but I will not do this. I can say one thing – Cloupor has made an excellent battery unit, which has become my permanent device. I will definitely recommend it to people who want to try vaping with temperature control.
With this, that’s all. That’s all for now. Have a delicious vaping!
