Yeah I've been vaping 90%vg all day in it and it's a very tedious task to fill even with a needle, with 50/50 juice it only takes me about 10 seconds...Wicks great though, would be nice if the Goliath made some improvements on filling.

Watch the video review by RayLo Vapes. They have definately improved the filling for the Goliath.

Got mine today, and threw a decent little dual 28gauge micro build on there 0.7 ohms @ 26W, the deck is pretty small but I think it's very manageable. I think I'm going to have to rewick it here pretty quick though, it spits quite a bit of juice at me and I have a little gurgling when I take a hit. I hate gurgling and having coils spit at me, would you guys suggest getting some more wick in there to help stop the spitting and gurgles? I did have the strands pretty loose in the coil and the tails are quite thin but I'm using max vg too

Do the "Orchid hit" and turn it upside down for a few pulls until it hits somewhat dry. You might be filling it too fast and the wicks are oversaturated. Once you get that excess juice out, it hits very well. If you are on a regulated (this is what I do) hit the thing on higher wattage a few times to burn off the juice. If you believe your wicking is good, either one of these things will work without you having to take it apart.

Thinned out wicks actually work better in this device, so you have the right idea. Too much cotton, and you can restrict air flow and run the possibility of dry hits when using thick juice.

Narrdarr's quad build made me a believer. Very legit build. It hits perfect. Air flow is not restricted one bit, no dry hits, and flavor is great.

Credit to narrdarr for the idea.

Pics of the quad build:

10 wrap, 1.4mm, 28 gauge, came out to .3 ohm on the Sig 150.

Minimal wick, was still a little tricky getting it through there. I actually cut the bottoms of the wicks much shorter than pictured here, just long enough to tuck them back to the post, and away from the air holes. Tops were trimmed a little more too, but not much.

Bottom wicks tucked under and away from air hole, tops folded over and down. Huge air gap between them!

This thing produces some wicked vapor.

Wick is broken in a little more now, and the flavor is great. Air flow is perfect, no restriction whatsoever. No dry hits, and no 'spitty' hits. Not the easiest or fastest build, but well worth the effort getting it right.

nice build man. i like how you able to get the coils more vertical. bending the bottom parts of the wick that way is pretty smart too. it fully covers the top of the channel so you wont leak while at the sametime it allows max vacuum as the there is no wick in the channels. :toast:

correct thin but super fluffy is the key.

a little trick for people that maybe getting dry hits:
the device works off a vacuum. which you can use as juice control on your device. if you want to use more cotton you can. then when you vape just loosen the top till you get few( as in more than a couple) air bubbles coming up. get your vape on. when your done just tighten the top back down. boom now you have a juice control with no leaks and no dry hits.

Tried to re-wick once today and still get some spitting and gurgling, I think some wick or juice is right near the air holes, gonna try a little bit thicker wicking again. RTA's seem to be super finicky about wicking man. It also appears that I have a chronic fill hole screw leak going on too so that's also helpful.. =l

obviously your not going to have a problem with making your wick thin. thicken it up keep the enda really fluffy and you should be good.

Nice, Ray had said they were launching it probably mid April IIRC. Looks like their answer to the Arctic tank, and could be a good one. I will probably pass though.
Definitely different. I wonder how the leads are captured and if it will be a leaky bugger with such a gigantic airflow hole? Anxiously awaiting Ray's review of this one!
