Goblin mini is better IMO, it's smaller, same juice capacity (unless you use the extra capacity tank on the goblin, which mutes flavor), slightly better flavor, subjectively looks better, mine was machined better than my OG goblin. The gmini wicks better, the fill port screw is better. The airflow is much smoother / less turbulent on the Gmini vs the OG Goblin. People also complained about leaking more with the Goblin than the Gmini it seems like.
The OG Goblin has a few things on the Gmini too though, it can be top filled easier than the gmini (although the Goblin is not intended for topfill, it can be done). It takes a 510 drip tip without an adapter. Those are about the only things it has going for it over the Gmini.

So goblin v1 is a cloud chaser tank or flavour chaser tank or both cause it looks nice on sx mini tho

I think its generally considered a cloud chaser tank. Its one of the first big airflow dual coil RTAs that dropped this year, but more have come out since then with more airflow.
It does have a very clean and understated look to it, and the authentic can be found for under $20 these days, making it a good RTA for the price, if you can get past its flaws (turbulent airflow, hit and miss QC/machining, hit and miss leaky fill port).
I can only comment on the Goblin V1 and it is a nice atomizer. The glass is recessed into the tank whereas the mini glass is exposed, so the original may have an edge on glass durability. The mini improved on the size by basically reworking the airflow system, from the deck to the top of the chimney they look to be almost the same height, though the mini's deck is actually shorter. The mini's airflow system seems to be more direct too, less space to travel.
The issue's surrounding the Goblin's fill system has a lot to do with fill port being partially blocked so a syringe cannot go all the way into the tank. I have found the best way to fill it is vape till the liquid level is below the glass and while the tank is still warm. If I don't do it this way I risk liquid coming back out because some liquid may stay in the bottom portion of the tank while it's still inverted, thus collecting the bottom portion and pushing out the fill port. I have no issues filling the Goblin the way I described and it's quick too.
The original is a pretty plain and simple compared to similar atomizers that have come out afterwards. Both the original and the mini are priced similarly I believe. If I didn't have the Goblin now, I would probably buy the mini.
The Cthulhu v2 looks like a great atomizer that is similar to the Goblin, but much more improved. The Silverplay nano just released and that is going to rival the Gmini. There are other different style tanks too, like the Aromamizer RDTA.

+1 to the durability of the OG Goblin. It survived a few drops on a mech onto concrete without breaking the glass.
Yeah it is nice protected for the most part. However, I did drop it out of my hand the glass part hit right on the corner of my computer case and cracked. I bought the V2 at that point since it came with the spare small capacity glass (the one I like) instead of just buying the glass. I noticed some differences on the two as well. The newer V2 SS tank base did not screw onto my original GoblinV1 deck, a shame since the newer tank base does not have a logo, would have looked that much better on the SS SMPL. The V1 chimney has no logo either, which I like.
Well just got me a Cthulhu v2 and this thing rocks. The wicking is far easier so less prone to leaks, you can access the build deck without dumping the tank, easier filling options and the two post velocity deck is a breeze for building on.
I can also personally recommend the Billow v2 and i hear really good things about the Aromamizer RDTA which is next on my never ending list [emoji12]
I have both of the goblins - v1 and the mini. Both build decks are the same size - both are bottom fill. I tend to reach for mini most of the time. Airflow is better imho with the mini. With the mini the drip tip and the included drip tip adaptor have a tendency to come loose easy - nothing that a wrap or two of Teflon won't fix. But that silver play nano tho.
