This. I removed that same o-ring filled it, leaked everywhere. You can purchase Noalox and put the slightest of dabs on there and it'll work wonders.
UD just released a teaser of the v2 coming soon on their FB page. I would wait
If only there were a way to recycle our vapour. 
.i know....... a re-breather !.

If you ever get tired of that drip tip, you can use it as a stick shift for your car. 
I sold off the Goliath after 2 tanks of juices. It was too airy and build deck is difficulty to work on. Rolling the $$$ for a Cthulhu.
you ever have one of those days when you can't keep your hands dry?
It gets hot down here, and the juice gets so thinned out, it just doesn't want to stop leaking.
A/C to 90 plus degrees, I guess the expansion of the liquid is playing havoc for me.
Somebody say "version 2" ?

Build: 26ga - 3mm ID - 8Wrap
Liquid: Dat Dere Thug Juice
Mod: DNA40 VF Clone
What drip tip are you using?
Picked one up last night from the local B&M. My normal go to for office/out and about is an ego One, and it had decided to stop having the head thread on to the battery properly after the abuse I've given it, so had to make a bit of an emergency plan. This is my first RTA, so nothing to compare it to as far as tanks go. The build deck was definitely smaller than I'm used to, I also use a Vulcan and a Plume Veil for drippers. Once I'd some what figured out what it needed, I was able to get a .3 ohm build with 26 Guage kanthal to fit.
No issues with dry hits, only leak I had was right after I filled it and had the juice control wide open instead of closed
Topped it up this morning and took it to the office with me (no vaping at the desk). Great flavor, awesome clouds, so much juice being used, even at a low wattage setting. I'll try another build on it tonight, to get a little higher resistance, and I'll be playing around with the juice flow to see how closed off I can have it and still get good hits, to try and cut down on liquid usage. Fun so far, though

Got my Goliath 4 days ago. So far I really dig the flavor, best I've had so far. Definitely beats our the two sub tanks I have (iSub & Starre) and both of my drippers on my REO.
I don't like:
How hard it is to catch the threads after refilling (which is about 4-5 times a day).
First couple hits after refilling can get dry, doesn't seem to wick right until about 4-5 hits in to a tank.
Wish the air flow control had detents to prevent accidental adjustment.
HUGE juice hog!
What I do like:
The flavor...OMG!
For me, it's fairly easy to build on.
Great air flow when wide open.
Adjustable center pin.
I guess I like the juice flow control even though mine is wide open all the time.
Looks great!
I started with a .4ohm, 26awg, organic cotton dual coil build with the coils fairly close to the deck, worked good but I'm getting even better flavor (and slightly less vapor) with the coils further from the deck.

You can always prime it before you fire it again after you refill. That's what I do and I haven't had a problem. I run max MG as well too.
Threading after refilling is a nightmare. Sometimes the wick will catch on the edges and it'll make it that much more difficult. This is my first RTA though so it's been a learning experience.
.6 ohms 8 wraps, 2 mm ID, and 28 ga kanthal. Still almost to hot for me, but much more in the realm of reasonable now Threading the coil, especially with a dry wick when I'm testing for fit, is a PITA, but man this thing hits so good that's worth it for now

So...after over a month Gearbeast still hasn't shipped my pre-ordered Goliath. 
But my reseller buddy somehow got extras sent to him, so he fronted me one of his.
After cleaning it out - twice! - there still seems to be machine oil in there. It tastes nasty and I can even smell it. I boiled the whole thing, wicks and coils and all, still contaminated. I accidentally used one of the wicks in my Buddha and now that is contaminated as well.
So it's back to the Plume Veil full time until I can get these things cleaned.

Put some dual 28g nickel coils in my Goliath last night, 10 wrap 2.5mm id for 0.078ohm on my ipv4 and it's vaping like a dream with 90% VG juice! Easily going through 1ml/hr with the juice control wide open, but the clouds and flavor are worth having to refill once in a while.
I've never had a single leak from the Goliath, and now I was pleasantly surprised to find it works well with dual nickel coils as well. The build deck is a little small, but if you're comfortable building you can fit some decent sized coils in.
Two thumbs up for the Goliath, wish they made it in black!

Since the 28g nickel worked so well I tried dual twisted 32g nickel / 34g kanthal 6 wraps 2.5mm ID registering at 0.107ohm. Vaping at 420°F and 40J on my ipv4 and it's putting out great clouds and flavor. Also, this build was much easier to fit than the 10 wrap 28g, and is less likely to get damaged when refilling. Going through about 8ml a day just on this tank, but incredibly happy with the vape!

Just got my SX Mini today and am eager to try a nickel build. I noticed last night that I happen to have some nickel wire (used to use it as no resistance wire in my Ody builds way back in the day). However, it's 30awg. How many wraps would you guess would get me an acceptable resistance (dual coil in the Goliath, of course)?
I'm guessing it would have to be more than 10 wraps and that may be too wide for the Goliath.

I can understand how easy it can be to cross thread the base when screwing back in but it's just a case of holding the tank up to eye height, place the base on top, level it up and scew it in.
I do the exact same thing.
Hey i watched your video blazin on the Goliath. How the hell d'you do that ?. I know you're using ribbon wire and silica. What gauge wire is it ?.
I was using 5 wraps of .6 x .1 mm ribbon. Distilled water in my juice also keeps the wicks super wet.
