It could be worse. I ordered mine just before these stories started coming out.... and it shipped quickly, so I couldn't cancel my order. Now I'm waiting for the mailman to deliver a $35 paperweight.
While it appears that we cannot get serial numbers or the batch run that may be the culprit, perhaps we can narrow down the batch by vendor? For example, the CM I'm waiting for is from elev8vape.
The mod in general is a good mod.
I have nothing invested in siding with Cloupor. Didn't like early reports of issues. Didn't care for the lack of fixes. Doubt I will see anything to impress me on this issue.
None of that negates the fact, the majority the mini's are good to go.
I purchased one, worked it for a week + and decided it was worth picking up a second. The second should be here within a week.
I also have 2IPV mini's and the Mini v2 is on the way. They also have a following of Panic Owners over issues, though not as intense as flaming out.
No doubt someone somewhere will get a Crapped out mod from almost any manufacturer, especially in the Low Cost market. Might even be me.
At least I go into these Rush to market purchases with my eyes open. I Know crap can happen and the odds are much greater on a FIRST Release Design.
Maybe some of those that can't handle the stress should wait it out and let those of us that are use to FIRST RUN purchases test the waters.
It would save you wasted time and money.

As far as - IT appears...........serial Numbers
Good Grief, it has only been a few days since Cloupor started investigating this as a multi unit issue. I seriously doubt many of the owners have taken time to contact Cloupor, Dealers may be slow in reporting.
Give the people a little time to find out what units from which batchs have been effected.
If it is one batch it will be simple.
If it is a few units from several batches things will get complicated.
