THE KOOPOR MINI<\/p>\n
Koopor appears to be an offshoot or subsidiary of Smok.<\/p>\n
The Koopor Mini, not to be confused with the Mini Cooper, is cute, capable, feels pretty solid, and from their website, it has some internal things going on with temperature control that have captured my attention.<\/p>\n
It adopts a dual-circuit drive design inside, which can effectively control output while monitoring temperature of the atomizer. With the new monitor technology, HFDMR-Ni200 (High-Frequency Dynamic Monitoring Resistance of Ni200) , it can achieve the high accuracy of regulating and monitoring heating wire temperatures. The precision can reach 10 degrees Fahrenheit (about 5 degrees Celsius). Constructed from stainless steel with a zinc-alloy coating, it looks modern and feels comfortable. Magnet-held battery cover design makes sure that, with a gentle touch, you will simply slide it off and replace the battery in seconds! This compact mod takes one 18650 battery, and provides 60 watts of maximum output for enough power!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
It also has the concept of an “adjustable internal resistance”…<\/p>\n
Adjustable Initial Resistance, a new feature added to the KOOPOR mini, is designed to ensure your resistance on the load remains the same. As we all know that the atomizer resistance is changeable, there will be different values by factors such as poor contact, and interference from simply screw it tighter or looser.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
How you’re supposed to come up with that value is another story.<\/p>\n
This one uses a single 18650 battery and features 60 watts, temperature control with support of NI and TI, has Normal, Soft, and Hard settings in temp control, puff counter, the previously mentioned adjustable internal resistance, and an adjustable NI TCR (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) range (hmmm, only for NI and not TI? And how do you come up with that number as well?)<\/p>\n
Material: Zinc Alloy and Stainless Steel
\nOutput Power: 1W-60W Resistance Range: 0.06\u03a9\u20142.0\u03a9 (TC Mode)
\n0.1\u03a9\u20143.0\u03a9 (VW Mode)
\nBattery Capacity: 2600mAh (interesting that they spec this considering it uses a removable 18650)
\nStandby Current: <300uA
\nOperating Current: <13A
\n(When the resistance is 0.2 ohm, the max operating current will over 15A)<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAlso from their website, and this made me chuckle a bit…<\/p>\n
Oh, no! Don\u2019t tell me you are still using screwdriver to replace battery. That sucks, doesn\u2019t it? Now, Koopor Mini takes magnet-held battery cover. You can simply slide it off and replace battery without tools.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It does suck, doesn’t it?\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
One thing I did notice was the screens was a bit dim on them, one was particularly dim.\u00a0 As always don’t let the photos fool you.<\/p>\n
Expect to pay around $40 for one.<\/p>\n
