Goliath V2 vs Zephyrus

[wrice4]

I am on the fence about the zephyrus and the goliath v2. I know I can't go wrong with both. I haven't had a dual coil rta since the orchid v2. Does anyone have both that they can compare, or have tried both?

I like both but it seems like the zephyrus has more airflow with 2 holes in the rba vs 1. Any feedback on that? I know someone said they get more airflow on the goliath v2 rba than the zephyrus rba. Why is that if the zephyrus has 2 air holes? I know the zephyrus air holes are 3mm, so there are 4X 3mm air holes in the base. What size are thr goliath v2 air holes in the deck?

Anyways would love to know the difference between the two and why you would choose one over the other. Looking for clouds and flavor. I'll be putting this on my snow wolf so high wattage will be great.

I do not have the Goliath... I do have the Zephyrus. The airflow is phenomenal!

Here, IMO, are the plusses and minuses: the Zephyrus can take a coil head, the Goliath cannot. The Goliath can be built single coil, the Zephyrus cannot. The Goliath has e-liquid control, the Zephyrus does not.

What's your pleasure?

Goliath has coil heads by the way, but I intend to only use the rba deck.

I have both and while I like them both a lot, I would choose the Zephyrus if I could only keep one. They both have a good capacity, have prebuilt coils and an RBA, and are almost identical in size (using stock tips and the heat sinks on the Zephyrus).

Major differences:
+ Zephyrus has better airflow
+ Zephyrus is top filling (this alone is probably why I prefer it)
+ Zephyrus has prebuilt NI200 coils
+ Zephyrus is cheaper (I bought each of mine for $20)
- Goliath can do single coils
- Goliath has juice control (non-issue for me, as I just run it wide open anyway)

Thanks for your input. Is the airflow on the zephyrus a big difference compared to the goliath v2 or is it barely noticeable because that's what it looks like it's going to come down to. I want to build a nice build on the rba and run it high wattage to get thick clouds.

I think the difference in airflow is very noticeable. I typically run them both wide open and the Goliath is definitely less. Your build and wicking can affect it, but I've been running almost identical builds in them.

Ah okay. I was just talking to someone else thay has both of them and was told that the goliath had more because the chamber is wider; therefore, allowing more air.

Haha so many people on the opposite side, hard to know which way to go. Might have to buy both, even though I don't want to.

I saw a review comparing the two and the reviewer summed it up with a statement that swayed me toward the Goliath V2.

He said the Zephyrus is a tank designed for rebuilt heads that also has an rba option, while the Goliath V2 is a tank designed for an rba with a rebuilt coil option. Since I value a better rba (I've never even used the coil heads in my Goliath) I went with the Goliath V2.

Also, the Zephyrus is top fill, but you have to remove that grommet to do so..... I don't like that idea. I top fill my Goliath V2 , and no grommet.

Very good point as I am looking solely for the rba part, as I save the coil heads only if I go on a trip or something and I need to throw a build on it, when I don't have time.

Most I know prefer The Goliath V2. I personally do not own the Goliath V2 but I do Own the Zephyrus. I'm not real impressed with it. I picked up a Uwell Crown and the RBA and coiled it with Titanium and never looked back. I do highly recommend you at least take a look at the crown before you make your decision......

I have heard so many good things about the crown. I will prob get one soon. I also have a aromamizer rdta coming that should be here next week, which I'm very excited for. I have had my eye on the crown for a while now. Thanks for the response.

I use the IPV4s with the crown and it is a fantastic combo. The IPV4s supports Titanium Wire in TC mode which I have decided I want to use from now on. I'm not sure that I feel Nickel Wire is safe to use when vaping. I think you'll like the Crown. It's not too overly hard to wick, gives good vapor and a nice clean taste with titanium. Unfortunately you do have to buy the RBA separate.....

Op has already taken advice I'm about to give lol

I own the Goliath 2 and goblin mini, got both today, prefer the goblin over the Goliath, Goliath is more faffy and juice control is pointless but both were free (long story). I own a Lemo 2 also, had subtanks, Atlantis, got some drippers. If you really want clouds, flavour and a tank the aromamizer rdta blows every single one of them out of the water for clouds, flavour. It is like a dripper with a 6ml tank attached so it wins on capacity also! I have mine running quad vertical coils 28g 0.13 on a mech with battery under load its running about 90ish watts and when correctly wick it won't dry hit and you will be mess before you even test the aromamizer! 4 hits boom I'm done! I have used rtas exclusively for ageeeees and steam crave have come up with something special! My Goliath I tried a premade and burnt it straight away, 2nd one nearly ruined. Tomorrow RTA section is going in and might rebuild the premades.

I have the Goblin Mini also. I like it a lot, I really do. The only fault I can find with it is the fact you have to fill it by removing that tiny little screw. I scared to death one of these days it's gonna go flying somewhere that I will never find it. Love the way you adjust airflow......

PS: make sure your chimney is screwed completely into the cap or you will wind up with problems. Basically if you use the 510 adapter and the chimney is not screwed all the way in, the adapter will not stay in place. Keep that in mind......

Do you close off the juice flow and remove the top cap? Or another way?

I'm not sure that I feel Nickel Wire is safe to use when vaping.

This has been batted around alot, it all started from that God forsaken video. While I am not a scientist just a normal guy who vapes the research I done told me nickel is only dangerous to use in extreme heat or fuel rich environment or an area with extreame carbon monoxide levels. Also remember our mods restrict us to 600f max which is well below the level for it to be harmful to us. Honestly its fine provided your not planning any trips to the sun any time soon for a vape or planning on gassing your self in your car for a while and want to vape and don't intend on committing suicide.... Honestly dude ni200 is fine!

Truthfully, yes, I saw that video, and it did make me start to wonder about me wanting to use Nickel. BUT, I saw that video after already experimenting with Titanium wire. I had already decided I preferred Titanium builds for the better taste and it was easier to keep the ohms up a bit. Especially when building dual coils. I had built the Goblin Mini with nickel and it was working great but I torn it all out and recoiled after trying the Titanium in the Crown. Never looked back.....

The goliath being big is no issue for me, I usually use my solo beast and atlantis 2 with the 7 ml tank extension (that's big).

Yes I ordered thr 6ml aromamizer rdta 6 days ago and it should be in, i can't wait. I feel like I will be very happy with the goliath v2 as I haven't had a dual coil tank since I bought my orchid v2.

I wouldn't describe the Goliath v2 as being big, its is shorter than the lemo 2 and hold more juice. Now iv had more time to use it I'm actually pretty happy with the Goliath. My first couple of hours me and it had a few teething problems tryi g to get to know each other lol

My first pre-made coil I ruined by vaping it with the juice control closed and nearly ruined the 2nd one. Tips for when someone else's arrives

1 close the juice control off when you put on the lower deck and it will open as you screw the lower deck into place. The pulse design on the ring shows the juice control position, the bigger the pulse indicates its open

2 I also ruined the 1st pre-made coil by not pulling the cotton down into the juice wells. It comes very bunched up in the ceramic cup. To get them to wick you need to pull the cotton down a bit so the legs sit in the juice well on the lower deck

3 I thought I would be clever to fill it up from the top removing the top cap. Forgot to close the juice flow. Needless to say the tank leaked everywhere!

Having got over those few things and with more use I'm very happy to report it does perform really well, even with the pre-made coil! The flavour is excellent and I think that's mostly cos of the riffling in the chimney and drip tip. Honestly I think it tastes nicer than my goblin mini but then I am using nichrome 80 in that and iv never had if before so I might need to just get used to it a bit first before making my final judgement.

You should be impressed when your aromamizer when it arrives and what I love is that it offers something new to the flooded subtank market. Most of these tanks work around the same design principles drawing air at the base and the just vary in size and shape and have a few other minor changes / features. For the aromamizer what really brought it to life is the quad vertical coil, the flavour and vapour is like nothing else! It is fiddley though as the deck is so small!

I'm going to try titanium very soon, I have some here I'm just waiting on my dna 200 to arrive before I can use it. Your right dual coil with ni200 is not practical with the amount of wraps you end up needing! I have heard good thing about titanium and very much looking forwards to using it

I think you'll find that the taste alone is the best reason to switch over to Ti. It really is a very clean taste.....
