They said 5-10 days. If you dont wanna wait check out the Sub Ohm Innovations Silverplay. Same airflow, but bigger deck to work with, not very attractive to me though, whereas the Goblin is quite good looking IMO.
I've looked at that too but have only heard hands on experience about the Goblin. I saved the coupon code just in case Ray Lo is able to compare the two before Goblin is stocked, or someone else.

My UD Goblin just arrived...and HOLY S....
Makes the Atlantis airflow feel like a kayfun. 100% unrestricted lung hitting. Airflow is about on par with the Mephisto V1 rda.
This thing is gonna be nuts on the Mini at 60w on Powerful.

We're all following each other around the vape of good hope. or the cape of good vape, whichever...:blink:
I am in wanting for that UD Goblin to get in stock also.. I haven't bought an atomizer in quite a while..

Where did you get your Goblin from?;)

I love Vapemail days! I was using my iTaste VV / Mini Nautilus combo at work and couldn't wait to get home.

I ordered a Subtank a week ago and it finally arrived. While I was unwrapping it, I was checking out my SXmini again.

While the SXmini was posing, I decided to read the manual and check the software version again. The SXmini manual references LINK mode, so I gave it a shot. Apparently the LINK menu does nothing for me except turn mine off. At any rate, just plugging it into the USB (with no battery) allows the connection to succeed. I saw Version 1.3.1. I verified against the Yihi website and it looks like mine is up-to-date.

While I was at it, I checked the tooling / mold marks. Present on mine too. To each his own (and I don't judge) but to me, not a big deal. That's a speck of dust by the cap not a defect.

I also noticed that my case isn't 100% perfectly aligned like many of you have referenced. Again, to me - not a big deal. I have butterfingers so I'm sure to drop it somewhere along the line...

Probably been done before - but here is the Subtank hanging out in its foam coffin next to the SXmini.

A quick test fit of how things look. Honestly, this tank is huge. I have the original Nautilus so I understand big tanks, but things thing feels ginormous.

Front facing shot without the beauty ring. You can see the overhang of the tank, but its not terrible.

Now, I may only have 6 posts, but I've been reading this thread forever (although I'm a new member). I remember someone mentioning the order in which you assemble the battery / mod / tank could create a small gap. In this particular shot you can see I have attached the beauty ring. There is a slight gap which you can see light through.

Disassembled and removed battery. Screwed beauty ring on first, then the tank, then put in the battery. Flush fit ...!

And the final picture - my new setup. About time I graduated from the iTaste VV and my Ego Twist.

I'm dying to get some juice in this new Subtank, but I have a lot of homework to do and forum posts to read on before I just throw juice in and push the fire button. This is my first high end mod and dive into Sub Ohm type stuff so I want to do it right. I do plan on trying the RBA at some point, although I might pick up a different atty to learn builds on first.

Hoping Grants Vanilla Custard blows my socks off on this rig.

my silverplay should be in tomorrow- i will give you a full report once it is up and running. i have a question about the jwraps- i know they are supposed to be easy to put on and take off if i don't like it, but does it in anyway affect the finish if i remove it? i was thinking of putting it on my black one but i don't want it to ruin the black finish if i change my mind. or would it be better to put the wrap on my silver one? i have never used a jwrap before and i am torn about using one. on the one hand , from the photos , they look super when done right, on the other hand i am usually not very good at applying things like that and don't want to mess up the original finish if i botch the job or decide i don't really like the look close up.maybe i should get a third one to experiment different looks ......just kidding...but i can't make up my mind about the wrap. this thread has always steered me right so help! to wrap or not to wrap...that is the question....

ha! now i get why you told me to get the silverplay when you got the goblin!! let me try the one you don't like.....very sneaky!! no matter, i care about the vape quality and not-so-much the looks. be happy to tell you how it vapes. looks promising if nothing else. boy, they can write some ad copy when they are hyping these things. you'd think the silverplay cured diseases by the way they write about it. it 's just a tank for vaping.....

so far, the subtank and sx mini is my favorite pairing. either deck of the subtank works so well with the sx mini i ordered 4 more subtanks. just a fabulous vape.... the silverplay will have to above and beyond to top that combination but i am willing to vape it long and hard to see if it does....

anybody try the Aeolus RDA Rebuildable Atomizer by Syntheticloud? pricey little thing but looks stunning and incorporates a vertical air flow system. i think this will have to be tested-if anyone has any info please post. at $80 i don't want to make a mistake if i don't have to....

yeah - it's the one I bought on sale for 142 - The way these things are gaining steam, I probably should have have gotten a second one. I don't think a better device in that price range is going to be available for a while yet.

Nikkita - that was an oxymoron type of answer, when I said I was looking for flaws because of the small hype going on about the casting flaws or a button or something wasn't straight or centered.. Just some humor... :D I did though, inspect mine carefully and it is quite the specimen..
I requested the black one, which I really am glad I received for 2 reasons.
1 - the flat black has a bit of a sparkle to it, and it's not a deep color at all..
2 - I have seen other posts/other forums where I was lead to believe the black models were of the latest revisions, so I wanted it for that reason also.
Looks like it paid off for me..maybe some luck involved, but I'm happy..:vapor:

Aha, ok I get it now :p Well you definitely got a sweet deal on yours, and several of us are quite jealous ;-)

It wont affect the finish at all, easy to remove with no left over adhesive or anything and wont peel the finish.
And I def want to know how you like the Silverplay! The bigger deck alone is appetizing, the Goblin deck is soooo small lol.

Ha! I actually went back and forth for like 3 hours after buying my Goblin, debating if I should have bought the Silverplay.
And thats a whole lotta Subtanks, my first still isnt even here yet
