No VIP Card at fasttech

I ordered my third mini at FastTech last week. Now today they post on ad page that due to low price no VIP card. That's ok but impossible to know which batch you get.:(

Due to low Price? Gear Best is Cheaper and included the VIP

Should not matter now anyway. Dozens of runs have passed since things were corrected.
Not that I agree, but Most regulated Mods give no indication of build date

He said "I can't seem to test mine because it cuts out after a couple of seconds @ 30w. Is that bad btw?" And I submit that YES, this IS 'bad'. Bad, in that a properly functioning Cloupor Mini should NOT "cut out after a couple of seconds @ 30w". He needs to find out why this is happening. Might be nothing but a poorly done build. Or it could be a failure waiting to happen. The point is, at this juncture we here cannot say what the issue is and to simply ignore and/or minimize it is not the way to go about things.

Thanks for the support. I did a new build now and managed to run it @ 30w for 15 sec. No "too hot" warning came up so all is well.
Too bad FT seem to remove the VIP Card from the packaging. Why would that be cheaper??

Cheaper because there's no warranty from Cloupor.

Not a deal breaker. On the day I ordered that VIP warring wasn't there. I bought my last mini at Gear Best and it included the VIP card. I have had good luck at FT so I ordered. I'm not worried about no card but wonder why Cloupor removes it. I would guess FT is the only warranty with no card. If there is a problem I have 2 other cards. A serial # should at least be included...... :unsure:

If this is means there's no warranty, I call BS! If that IS the case, I would look at it as "one card fits all"- seeing as I have a VIP card from a previous purchase.

ETA, I see SS is as devious as me! But come on- no warranty just because of a sale that's not even as low as other vendors? Pshaw, says I!

I think FT has a warranty with what they sell. I never got why the VIP card anyways. What did that stand for ? Very Important Person ? Vaper In Paris? It just had the serial # on it. It was a waist of plastic. You may soon see that all venders who sell below recommended price will not have the VIP card. Or maybe fazed out altogether.

What it sounds like to me is that Cloupor is done with Mini production, and blowing stock out of inventory at a low wholesale price sans direct consumer warranty support. Doesn't preclude the seller from taking responsibility.

If something does go wrong, you can bet FT will take care of you, especially if you purchased before their announcement (and probably why they bothered to announce it in the first place, so they don't have to take care of anyone who bought it after).

Two things not considered yet. Maybe they are clones now without a card OR they still have a warranty, they still have a serial number but clouper is saving money by not using cards anymore. :2c:

There are no numbers I have been able to find on a Cloupor mod - only the firmware Version. The card is/was Proof of purchase of a Valid Cloupor.

No, the Fasttech units are Not clones.

I hope Cloupor is NOT discontinuing the mini .:( I'm sure that the mini's are not clones . Maybe Cloupor will soon have a mini 2 with new improvements such as the temp control and 40 watts.
