my mini made it to new york from china! i feel like a kid waiting on christmas....
Where and when did you order it? I'm still waiting for mine from GB. I ordered mine on March 30.
You will love the mini. I just ordered my third. It does pay to have plenty of back ups. With the long delay on shipping from fasttech. I just don't see anything that compares to the mini coming in the near future.
I've got the mini and i have a question. Regarding the issues with it (bursting into flames and whatnot), would taking out the battery when not using it be the safest way to go? I can't seem to test mine because it cuts out after a couple of seconds @ 30w. Is that bad btw? I'm assuming the coil is getting too hot. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to building.. So far i got a lemo drop on it with a 1.4ohm coil. I've been using the Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh with it and so far it's working fine. I just don't want to burn my house down, lol.
I got it from a FT order placed a couple of weeks ago.

When you say "it cuts out after a couple of seconds @ 30w", can you elaborate? Do you get a "too hot" error message, or does the screen just go blank, or what- because what you've briefly described is NOT normal. First thing I would do is be sure the atty connections are tight and the 510 pin adjusted correctly and is clean and dry of any juice that might have gotten on it. Be sure the battery is good and is making good contact and there's no dirt, juice or corrosion on the terminals. Be sure the 510 is still tight in the case (I'm not sure if it uses the 510 for a ground path or not). You can't go inside to check grounds and solder joints w/o breaking the seal and voiding the warranty so this is about as far as you can go.
BTW, while the '15 seconds/30 watts' test really isn't a definitive test, a properly working unit should be able to "pass" this test w/o any warnings or having it shut down. So if you want to be absolutely sure there will be no damage done by a possibly faulty mod, I'd recommend parking it w/battery removed until I could get an RMA from FT to return it.

My second Cloupor Mini arrived yesterday. Ordered March 30th. Now waiting on my batteries to charge, so I can fire it up.
Should buy some more batteries.

Really none burst into flames. It is only the 0002 batch that had a problem. I never worry about mine. It's in a metal box with very little to burn. You can remove the battery when not using but I worry more about being struck by lighting than a mini burning. Check what batch you have . The serial # is on the blue card. That batch is long gone. I haven't heard of any other bad batches...........
Nuff Said!
You need to take time to actually comprehend what you are reading and please don't just accept Rant Post and uninformed comments as Gospel.
There was an overheat/melt down issue on a very limited number of units in Batch 0002xx ONLY and the issue was resolved.
The Power test is:
Set mod to 30w
Attach a device with decent coil and No Wick for best testing - 28ga. is a good recommendation.
Fire the device and HOLD until cutout - 15 seconds.
If the Device does NOT read To Hot - it is good to go.
Look at the Card you received with the unit. That is the Batch/serial/Warranty card. First whole numbers are the Batch build.
Mine are:
0002xx
0006xx
I run Both of mine daily for 6-8hrs Each always at 30w.
You chose an excellent battery and should be in good shape.
Enjoy your Mod!
****Oh, take time to Read the Owners Manual and avoid Vaping while charging.
Ricks, if you ordered yours from Gearbest and you get it in less than a month, you're ahead of the curve. 
Patience.

They said 6-14 business days for US shipping. They lied... My last order took less than 2 weeks with the free shipping.
i ordered on april 10th from fasttech. took them 2 days to ship.
I ordered from Gearbest. I know I said I never would again, when the first took so dang long to show up. It worked out alot better for me this time. Hope yours gets to you soon.
