Is there a new 10% code? The last one expired. The only one I know of is xmas14 for 5% off.
It's like McDonald's, you know you shouldn't but you do it anyhow. Just click the order button
I just took a look at the first pages of both these stores. Interesting to say the least.
If you buy it- doesn't matter where from- and you expect anything more than a slightly overpriced enclosure that you can add a board to, then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. And from THAT prospective, it only makes sense to buy for the least possible amount. However, if you anticipate it failing and you still want to use it as it's manufactured, it might make sense to buy it from somewhere that'll send you a replacement faster. Unless you end up like one of the 2,153 FT buyers who were dissatisfied.
In the past month I've placed a half dozen orders from FT...no issues whatsoever. All of the "5 star" reviews for Gearbest smell like "insider" reviews to me...there is just something about the grammar and uniformity of the feedback that leads me to believe the reviews are "cooked". The fact that suddenly you have a glut of 5 star reviews right after everyone here started checking out their website and right before Vaping Cheap posted their coupon is definitely suspect. I've learned to trust my gut on this stuff and I'm going with the known entity if I purchase this mod.
I've been eyeballing that ft dna 50 mod myself for the same reason,
I just dont really see why everyone is so nuts about the "mini" factor. It's not much smaller than the ft dna50, which isnt really that much larger than an mvp. The ft dna 50 has an adjustable center pin, but is also simple to upgrade it to a vt or fd spring loaded 510, which may not be so simple on that cloupor mini box, which looks kind of flimsy cheesy thin in the reviews.
All the "hate" being posted in ft discussions and here about cloupor are really helping me to "just say no" to pulling the trigger on the cloupor mini or the istick so many folks are raving about. Although, I wouldnt hesitate to jump on the innokin/evolve mvp3 if it ever actually happens, as it stands now the much talked about mvp3 is just a roumor or more like an urban legend.
Oh yeah, one more thing, epic failure with the cloupor mini imho... the usb charger port is on the bottom...what were they thinking.... At least with the ft dna 50 they placed the usb port on the side where it belongs !
I ordered one at FT.
Well just had to order one. I never did the China thing. I hope all works out. The FT. code wouldn't work. But $36.36 price is nice. Hope I get it in the 16 days as the site promised ...........

The place I ordered from had the ship date of 01/05, so if Cloupor ships next week, that might actually be accurate.
Battery's
Anybody see's a great deal on 18650's please post. I haven't yet ordered. There will be lots of time since FT isn't know as a super fast shipper. I even think there name should be SlowTech !!

Odd, the code has been working for me all morning. I just added the Cloupor Mini to my cart and entered the code and it worked fine.
Amazon has pairs of Samsung 25R or LG HE2 for under $15 shipped.

Does anyone else find this "feature" strange?
I don't want to put something magnetic in my pocket- near my metal keys, credit cards in wallet, or phone with hard drive. Maybe I'm not thinking this through, but this is the only thing bugging me.
Edit: I just watched the youtube video, and I see now why- for the battery cover coming off, which makes sense now. But still.....maybe I'm over thinking it.

It's a Pita to remove the micro screws that secure back covers on box mods. Once you've had to do this a few times you`ll be grateful for this feature. Since it has USB charging you really don't have to remove the cover but it's nice for those who carry spare cells as you can easily and quickly replace the battery.
I'll be waiting for the reviews before I think about getting one of these. I need a smaller device for when I'm out and about since the Sigelei 100W Plus I have is kind of obnoxious to be lugging around. Don't really want to spend more than $60 on something either since it won't be a device I use all the time.
Panasonic NCR18650PF 3.6V 2900mAh, $15.49 for two, delivered. I've bought 4 so far. Note that they're 10A discharge. Fine for what you just bought, not so much for unregulated, higher draw, etc.
