    I haven't had an issue with either of mine. It is still early days, but I'm far more pleased with it than the ipv Mini.

    That is good, just keep a eye on them, as seeing more and more people posting about bad one's, for example

    Heads up guy at work just had his catch fire almost caught his car on fire he just got on break so he caught it just as it was having a melt down. He said when he called the company he purchased it from the employee said he was the second complaint they have had. And are very seriously stopping all shipments.

    I wouldn't touch the clouper, reports coming of them burning up and poor response from clouper on the problem, as reported here - Taste Your Juice | Cloupor Mini – Heats… ah I mean… Heads Up

    But didn't Phil already give it a good review? I don't know how long he had it before he reviewed it, but this is the other reason that I don't like to rush t get reviews out, even if it means I am the first one to review something. A few days is only enough to learn the features set .. you need time to see how it will perform with different atties and resistances .. and if it will blow up :laugh:

    Yes he did and he has said he hasn't had any problems with his, but he can't ignore the amount that are burning up and has posted about it on his blog.

    Not too long. It was released 1/5 from Cloupor.

    Maybe have reviews like cars? Initial thoughts on new models and long term testing. That still doesn't catch the flaky ones. Cloupor said out of 100,000 units shipped, 40-50 were faulty. Catching fire is obviously a huge fault though :lol:

    Day 7 with mine and it's working great.

    Well I do commend Phil for taking the initiative to contact Cloupor regarding these reports, in spite of having a positive experience himself. Like he said, it sucks to have a good experience with a product, and then every one else has a crappy one..

    I think Cloupor is dead after this. This Mini was their last chance for redemption after the T5,T6, and T8 debacles. And what is more crazy is that most were willing to give Cloupor another chance based on the "assumption" that they Mini would house their DNA 30 V3, which would have been good because it is Cloupor's best chip offering. But the chip inside of the Mini is not the DNA 30 clone V3, its a new chip ... and apparently a very dangerous one.

    Cloupor's response to Phil was actually a bit maddening .. We sold 100,000 thousand but only 40-50 pcs have spontaneously caught fire? :blink: Disgraceful :facepalm:

    I agree, I don't care how many it is, should recall the damn things before someone gets hurt, hopefully I am wrong, but only a matter of time with the amount of reports coming in.

    Agreed .. don't tell me how many you sold, tell me what the hell you plan to do fix it and make sure it will not happen again. Tell me something that I can pass on to the community to reassure them that the manufacturer is aware of the issue and working on locating the batches that may have this defect.

    Nikki, Just wondering if you tried the juice I sent? Just curious. :)

    On the Semovar, the battery thing is as in your review, even with light use, and it comes apart as the OG, but the board is a little large for the tube, and does not want to come out. I didn't force it, as I didn't want to break it, because I haven't found where I can get another board to replace it. If you run across the boards for it in your travels, let me know. :wub:

    I did try them Burnie :) The peanut butter cookie is the same for me as I have heard some others describe, it tastes like roasted peanuts, I don't get any cookie from it ... yet. I have had peanut butter cookies with roasted peanuts on top, so I am wondering if this what Nicoticket was going for? It doesn't taste bad at all, no weird or chemical tastes, just hoping that the cookie aspect will come out more with steeping.

    I am firm believer that juice steeps better with some space in the bottle, because its needs as much air as possible. So I vaped one tank full and now I will leave it to age. I tried the Banana pudding in a dripper, and I didn't get much flavor. So I am letting that steep more too before I try it again. The color has already changed a lot on it, it has become super dark, so it may be close to ready.

    I did try mixing the two and that was a mistake :laugh: It didn't taste good Burnie :cry: So I will continue to vape them apart :p

    Now you .. you weren't able to find anything by googling Nivel V3 chip? There has to be some way to get your hands on the authentic .. maybe try the Semovar V3 thread here on the forum?

    Way back in the day of cartos, they used to have this:
    Double-Barrel-Cartomizer-Adapter-Title-500x500.jpg

    That's when I started wondering about what having two separate flavors at the same time would be like.

    Wait. :ohmy: That sounded kinda kinky, huh? :laugh:

    The best feel, short only to a hot woman.
    Beg, borrow or steal, but get one. FAST!!!.

    Carlos.
    High praise, indeed! Mine should be here directly, hope I like it as much as you do.

    ETA Just read the other statements about these catching fire. Don't know what to think about that, other than what I wrote in another thread- for the $30.00 it cost even if it's a complete fail I will use the enclosure and whatnot and put a good board in it and not look back. I have to say though, if it's NG it will be the last Cloupor product I will ever buy.

    I mix flavors a lot, especially Nicoticket ones. CLS and CB. Got Cookie (chocolate) with cherry, strawberry, raspberry or cheesecake. I've done chocolate raspberry cheesecake, too. As soon as I have more banna pudding I wanted to try that with chocolate. And make "banana split" with several :)
    I do that too, but it doesn't always work out the way you think it would when it's in the same bottle...right, Nikki?
