I've had my eye on the Zephyrus for sometime now just can't seem to do it. Heard nothing but good things out of it here. However I'm watching out for the Goliath V2 and it's 2 different build heads, look mighty promising.
I was thinking about getting the Goblin 2 or the first Goliath. I shot the Goblin.
A SC head sounds interesting since there are too many DC tanks and not enough SC RTAs around. But seeing that the Goliath 2 has a liquid control, too .... no thanks.

So any more final verdicts out of the people that bought one of these?

Kinda eyeing it now given the price range. Want a carry around TC device to compliment my SX mini i leave on my desk, but don't really want to shell out a $100+ for what essentially amounts to a part time and back up device.

I got it to test if I was interested in tc before wasting more time and money. By all accounts, the temp control works and is accurate. I don't have it in my hands yet. I'm not sure what battery life is ...?

    You can get these for around $40 right now, think they are a steal for that prices, they are very solid for the price point, and everything seems to work good on them, not heard hardly any QC problems with them.

    Battery life I think is pretty good on them, had a lot worse like the lost vape curve to name one.

    It isn't terrible by all means but I just don't think their chip is as efficient with battery life when compared to a dna40. I've noticed I had to change them out a little more frequently then usual. I'll still recommend it to anyone looking to get one. Plus that price is a steal honestly, can't go wrong.

    Pretty much, I had a slight issue with the top piece and the wires inside which was an easy fix. Plus, I was the only one that had that gap. Kinda want to buy another one as I'm giving my grey mini away to a friend.

    I hear you. It seems I Can't buy an Atty without buying a New Mod. LOL

    What RTA's do you have?

    If you don't have a Kanger Subtank Mini, I would put it on your TBCL.
    Right now I just have the Lemo 2 and the Goblin 2 (and some OLD attys^^).
    Subtank Mini is in vapemail (both Subox sets actually).

    Got my VF today and put a nickelbuild on it.

    Either I expected too much or the TC isn't working correctly. Or I'm just plain stupid.

    Lemo 2, 28g Ni200, 8 wraps, 3.5mm ID, .12ohms.

    40W at 420F no flavor, cold vapor
    450F flavor a little better, vapor still cold
    500F vapor get's warmer, flavor better

    But still. Compared to my kanthalbuilds way too cold for me and the flavor is too thin.
    I think my build is eff'd up.

    I can't really say Because I never had much luck using Ni200. And us Titanium Grade 1 Wire setting the Temp about 100F Lower.

    But First things First. Have you tried running things in Non-TC Mode?

    Do things seem to be what you would think they should be Flavor to Watts?

    Okay. First things first. Or third. I was plain stupid. My wick was eff'd up.
    In wattage mode I would have had the king of all dryhits.
    So TC works great.

    I rewicked with rayon and now it's fine.
