"Responsible Chinese company" is pretty much an oxymoron.

Indeed. And yet I stand in line for their devices, fool that I am...
You had to post this. I was holding out for the sigelei mini 30. Got caught up thinking I would get one of the Cloupors from gearbest at $19.00. That didn't happen. Now with your post, I registered with elev8 and ordered a black Cloupor mini. Thanks a lot. [emoji16]So I cancelled the FT order and went ahead and ordered it from Elev8vape since they have the black in stock for only $4 more shipped (if you use their January 15% coupon). I'm not going to sweat the $4.

Glad I could be of service along your vaping journey.
I actually am surprised they have them in stock...and at such a reasonable price compared to the China vendors.My wife is going to kill me when the vape mail stays showing up. Needed some restocking. Ordered Japanese cotton pads, kanthal, another set of batteries, 2 Tobeco kayfun v4's and now this. All should show up around the same time. I hope I get home before her to get the mail.[emoji6]

A backup is always a good thing Tks for the heads up on Elev8. I got my Cana DNA 30Clone from them previously, really good to deal with. Can't wait for the Cloupor Mini to get here. Got a black one.

Canceled my order with FT as well. They had a shipping date of Feb 5 on mine. Grabbed a couple vtc4's along with black mini for free shipping. All I want to do is stick a dna40 in it for a $75 total cost. If I like The TP I'll get a couple more
I think that is the same vendor I ordered from so I sent an email asking if it was indeed a genuine vtc4 that came with it. Next thing I know next day ad was pulled and price was now $49 plus 2.50 shipping. Never did respond to my email tho.Bought one off eBay for a premium ($55 shipped with a VT4 included) because
A: I wanted it fast,
B: I've been out of the vape news loop for a couple months, so the first I heard of it was on Monday, and I got a case of lust.
C: That same combination of lust and recent dive back into vaping news also made me order an Atlantis and a Subtank (both of which arrived today with no mod to fire them, a box full of eGo Twists and an MPV 1.0 are what I have right now for batteries).
So for now, I'm rocking a Nautilus Mini on the MVP with the Atlantis drip tip, while both the Atlantis and the Subtank are pre-soaking in 3 and 6mg juices I just bought so they'll be ready when the Cloupor box gets here on Friday. And it's taken every ounce of willpower I have to keep from running back to one of the local B&M shops and buying a DNA box mod for an outrageous price just to fire these two new tanks up.
Anyway, for those of you wanting a better look at the Cloupor Mini in English (and the Queen's English at that) there's a slightly longer review of the Cloupor Mini up today from Vaping Shozza.

And of course, after I ordered the Mini, I hear about the new MVP 3.0, and the new eGo One and after ordering the Atlantis and Subtank I hear about the eGo Delta II. It's going to be a good year for vaping, but I suspect it's going to be hard on my wallet.
EDIT: Skipped to the last page of the thread, missed seeing that the Shozza vid had already been posted.
I did notice the following
My Kayfun Lite+ v2 (infinite clone) reports 1.34 ohm on my resistance tester, 1.3 ohm on my evic, on the mini 1.24
Going to check later on today with my multimeter to see which one is correct, a 0.1 ohm difference might not be much, but if you plan on to go subohms or so, it might be a dealbreaker

Wow looks like a bunch of you canceled the FastTech order after I did. I already got the refund from them. My mini is in the mail from Miami to Port Charlotte so I may have it tomorrow . I saw in another thread that Kanger is coming out with a mini sub tank and even smaller sub tank nano. This will be interesting year for vaping.
I ordered from Elev8vape today...good price and they had black in stock, we will see how it goes.
I contacted GB this morning asking about the status of my mini. They said that paypal had not released my funds to them & I should wait 2-3 days. Ugh, not happy and very un-likely to order from them again! My PP account clearly shows that they have released the funds to GB. What to do? What to do?
I had to bail out of watching that review. It was running about one ahhhh or ummm per ten spoken words for a total of about three hundred ahhh's and ummmms by the six minute mark. Arrrgh I cant stand all the ummms and ahhhh during the brain lags
Mine came in about half an hour ago. Didn't have a VTC4. It had an LG HE4 (December 29 2014, damn fresh!). The HE4 was what I was planning on ordering for spare batteries anyway.
This thing works and feels great with both the Atlantis and the Subtank, though the goofy factor is a bit high with the subtank. You don't notice the ~1mm overhang with the Atlantis, but it definitely stands out with the ~3mm overhang on the Subtank. Both however are stable when standing the Mini upright, it's not as top heavy as you might think, as even without the battery the Mini has some decent weight to it.
My battery door doesn't have any gaps, but it's not as solid as I'd like, there's a bit of rattle and movement when changing hand posistions or picking it up. There's no chance it'll fall off (unless you drop it), but coming from the solid MVP it's a bit of an issue for me. I can also see this thing being REALLY annoying to non-vapers when inevitably people develop a nervous habit of sliding the door up and down with their thumbs when in hand.
As for performance, the Atlantis 0.5 head is reading 0.63 running a 70/30 VG blend, and shows it pulling 4.35v at 30w. The Subtank shows 0.65 and 4.42v
Pics comparing it to the MVP and Nautilus Mini, with both the Atlantis and Subtank on the Cloupor:
EDIT: Couple other things...the Subtank doesn't seem to work with the 25mm-to-22mm beauty ring installed, Cloupor shows it as shorted, no matter how I try to adjust the pin. Not a huge deal for me, the beauty ring doesn't really beautify, and adds several grams more weight to the top so I wouldn't use it anyway, just worth noting.
The other thing is, if you're running both the Atlantis and the Sub like I am, you WILL be whipping out the bluedriver every tank change, or at least I need to.
Finally, after vaping almost a tank on the Atlantis and about a quarter tank on the Subtank (about the same juice!), the ohm reading is dropping down below 0.58 on both, which is to be expected. I've also burnt about 20% of a fresh battery vaping that ~5ml. And I'm nic sick.

Lol, yeah, but then I lose that sexy metal finish look and feel. I don't put covers on my HTC One phone for the same reason.
I really would have preferred a screw instead of magnets though, since 90% of the time I'll be charging the battery in the mod and not doing much swapping. The rattle isn't so bad with my usual left-handed vaping, but firing it from the right hand, it's annoying as hell already.
EDIT: Ok, solved the rattle problem...just rolled up a couple thin tubes of Scotch tape adhesive side out and stuck them to the inside top of the door. It's still a bit loose from side to side if you use some thumb pressure, but makes no noise when picking up or handling, the door is still flush all around, and it comes off just as easily as before when you do need to get inside.
I'll wander into the garage later and find a tube of silicon and just run a bead about the same thickness on both sides for a cleaner, longer lasting solution

Doing a bit of a happy dance. Just received notice from GB that my order is being processed. Hope the old mad rowing the boat across the ocean catches a good current.
Man I'm still waiting for my pre-order from CodeVape to ship. It's been almost a month xD
