The Goblin v2 being my favotire rta right know I really want the Cthulhu.
If i hadn't already killed my may budget.
Luckily june is coming soon.
You'll love it! You literally couldn't pry the Goblin from my hands before the Cthulhu came along.

They're both very similar, ever so slightly wider airflow on the Goblin, and it's easier to assemble after building/wicking, but the top fill on the Cthulhu is a joy, both are now in my daily rotation [emoji1]

I really don't NEED another atomizer but there's one big thing about the Cthulhu that's making me consider purchase one... The fact that the center post is raised and there is no excess exposed insulator on the deck that can melt. I've been vaping with a SIlverplay the last few days with a .45ohm build on it and noticed that the insulator had warped just a bit where it was very slightly hanging over the air intake holes (and yes I had the coils raised up quite high, with the top of the coils about flush with the top of the posts). It was not actually burned or anything too bad but it still made me paranoid enough to take a razor to it to cut off the excess insulator that wasn't necessary, and I'm still going to be extra paranoid about putting anything lower than .5 builds on it.

The Cthulhu seems safer for those cloud chasing builds.

I just wish it fit with KF4 parts cuz I love using the evap chamber for easy deck access.

I'm loving my Cthulhu, but I still get leaks after a top fill. I know it is my technique, so I don't count it as a con. It does like the juice though!
More cotton in the channels!

I wick mine by trimming the cotton flush with the deck and then guide the ends down the channels, so they reach about half way down.

That completely eliminated the leaking for me and not a dry hit in sight!

OK, I'll try that. Thanks. Seems this thing doesn't need any wicking magic to make it "work", but to get it just right takes some practice. Still loving it though.

It took me a few times untill i got the cthulhu wicked proper... but if got it right it vapes like a dream. Anyone else using rayon?

I only use rayon in my tanks.

When you guys use rayon, what diameter coil are you using, how much are you thinning the tails, and how far down are you placing them in the channels? I use max VG (on of the reasons I got this tank) and wasn't thrilled with rayon in .4 dual 26 gauge 2.5 mm build. Got some dry hits and a dryer vape. I've a Japanese cotton wick in now and its a bit better but still feel there is room to improve.

I'm using 2.4mm coils, 27g, 7 wraps each. Total resistance is about 0.5 ohm. I cut my tails into a V with a straight edge on the very bottom, and put about 2/3 down into the channels. I'm using a 70vg and it holds up to chain vaping.
