LOL OH already on order...well, a pre-order to be exact, as dont think its out yet? (goes to double check)..but sadly, I have had 3 orders from China (fasttech) all refused by China Post this week alone and sent back. Having paid e-packets on such to ensure that the delivery time to me would be anywhere between 8-14 days (11 average) they now have to send them safely through Singapore which has always taken 27-48 days. I also just received word from GearBest that the 2nd Goblin Min i orderd for $19 too must now be sent via Netherlands, most likely ensuring yet another 27-48 day wait
This will be a big boon for B + M stores in ones city so if i can get a Bellus sooner, i will look up their release date and try to find one at home. I look forward to that one as well and hear theres no leaking on it? i dont get leaking on my V2 or V1 but many do so that could be a great treat if true
Thanks for the review Croak: My thoughts. Am a flavour junkie so prefer single coals. Until Youde. Love the flavour of Nautilus Mini 5ml tanks but hate the AC/1.16 ohms (too restrictive) but vape anyhow on one of those as well. All dual RDAs, attys by other companies, I have put away. Mini Goblin + Goliath V1/V2 the taste is incredible. But, I don't usually care for desert juices on subohm. Kills flavour IMO. BUT decks on Ud are small so built duals at 0.5/0.6 or so and the flavour is through the roof. Unfortunately u do get clouds but i can overlook that as the taste is that good!!!!! SO, this review he only used a single coil. My own thoughts are that this needs to be used properly on dual coil....Granted, on my ALL my UD, my AC is open bare minimum.......i can only suggest what I have as a flavour junkie. CloudBroz may have a different take. So, his comment that he prefers Goblin Mini, assume he's using single coil again and has his build down pat for his taste, doesn't deter me...time will tell but id love to see a review using dual coil for flavour, not clouds. I suspect it will be very good....What I prefer about Goliath to Goblin Mini is that I use these all at home. Again, not the sort of attys you can throw in a purse and risk having them fall sideways, like u can a kanger sub mini......so more care needed, but i won't take the goblin mini outdoors. There's hardly anything to it. The Goliath has more substance to it. Wouldn't throw it in a purse either but still consider it more durable than the Goblin Mini.
I don't have a purse, but if I did, I would have no hesitations about throwing my Gv2 in said purse. I throw it in my backpack all the time.
When i leave my house i take the subtanks, nautilus or even delta 2s...i just personally feel they are more substantially made, due to more stainless steel. I find the goblin mini to be the worst due it only being 5% metal and the rest all glass...Just last night the hubby knocked into me hitting the tank, lightly but 5 mins later the juice came pouring down the side. When he lightly knocked me, having little metal on it he knocked it the wrong way. Perhaps I didn't have it as tight as it should be but combined, the glass moved a small bit, enough for juice to pour out of it...In a purse, there is no covering over the coils. You can look right down through the chimney and see them. I've had a couple fall over in my bag only to discover a small puddle of juice where it lay. Take a few small potholes at 60 kpmh and mine have fallen over. hence, I have just learned for myself to take a "heavier" tank, so to speak.
If I'm planning on running mostly single coils, would you suggest the Goliath V2 or wait for the Bellus? I'm concerned about the press fit rda deck on the Bellus being finicky, and leaking out of them new style airflow holes. My subtank mini has never ever leaked on me. I need something I can rely on when I'm at work or working with the dog pack. No time for dealing with leaks or juice in my pocket. I like somewhat of a draw, the draw on the Subtank Mini wide open is perfect for me so I won't be running these with airflow wide open. I like the option for pre made coils with the Gol V2. I'll be building my own 95% of the time but having the option to buy pre mades is nice, which is why I've been leaning more towards the Goliath. If it had the simple top fill feature like the Bellus, it'd be a perfect tank for me. What do you guys think?
I do like my Goliath v2, but I have never ran it in single coil mode. But I suspect it will work fine. As far as the Bellus it does look fairly tiny for building but with smaller coils it would probably be just fine. My Lemo 2 is also a great single coil tank and the top fill is a big plus but it is finicky to wick. Once you get that down it is a great tank. Then you can't forget the Kangertek Subtank Mini which is very popular and solid. There are many more single coil atty's out there that also will also work just fine and be enjoyable.
I am now awaiting my Aromomizer RTDA which should come in tomorrow but that is designed for 2 or 4 coils even.

I got this tank and I really want to like it, but I have a really hard time refilling it. I use high VG juices and when I bottom fill it, the juice just don't want to go down and just sits on the top of the filling holes. Do any of you have any hints, tips for me?
In the mean time get the aromimizer rdta with the velocity style build deck best one yetSame. No..lol..u mean my "long ... posts?"..... lol...no fasttech app...Like a lot of people, Fasttech was great for me to learn with.......IMO, it couldn't be beat, but now my time needs to be spent learning how to DIY, combined with being extremely tired of all the rudeness on that forum....Which is why i hadn't even noticed that new tank until it was mentioned here but yes, bought that one last night and it looks very interesting. Sure, there is all the usual hype around any release but you have read the same posts/info I have and I like what I am hearing. Wait? It wasnt pre-oder when I bought it last night? It was just a typical 5 day wait, I think? /goes to double check but am pretty sure as i wont fall for those pre-orders on FT any more......
/Sighs.....you are right! It says 5 days but in brackets underneath there is an ETA of 16 days.....missed that

Use a vape band to hold em together at the Base of the glass tank half covering the tank and half covering the Base if your band is tight enough you can do it whilst driving and drinking coffee with one eye open steering with your feet

Just received the Goliath v2 yesterday. I must say the vapor, flavor, and airflow are top notch. I just threw in one of the pre built coils.
Got mine a couple hours ago. Threw in a 2.5mm 26ga 10 wrap dual titanium build, it's vaping like a champ. Wicking was no hassle, and flavor is very very close to my Velocity RDA with the same build (while the Velocity isn't exactly a flavor monster RDA, it doesn't suck either). And actually building on it wasn't that much more difficult than the Velocity, which is saying a lot.
I did take the time to give it a quick bath (though it seemed pretty oil-free out of the box), and then lubed up all the o-rings, including the drip tip, along with smearing a fair amount of juice over the gaps for the juice flow and air control sections. Everything works smoothly now (after wiping it down, of course).
Filling via the juice ports wasn't as big a hassle as I expected, 85% VG juice in a standard squeeze bottle went in with no problems, albeit a bit slowly. I just made sure I tilted the tank, and had one of the juice ports on top for escaping air. For now, I don't see the need to mess with the janky top-fill method.
And it's surprisingly compact for a 5ML tank.
Only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that it's a wee bit on the noisy side with the airflow wide open, and downright whistle-prone when closed more than halfway. And it runs warmer than I expected (I like warm, so that's cool).

Thanks.
I have some T1 I have yet to open but will try that tomorrow.
/sighs, its taking forever to get the second one from Las Vegas to Toronto..lol.....i might get it in time for the bellus. I think its stopping in every postal outlet on the way lol

you are turning the dial so the dot is sitting on the left hand side of the up and down graph, (mountains) that's on the other side of where it says Goliath, right? No, truly, I have seen a lot of people ask this and not everyone realizes right away that this tank needs that dot to be sitting at that exact spot in order for them to open up. It wont open up unless it's sitting right there------then I personally switch it back half way along the graph and vape it at the halfway point, once filled...find this tank so easy to fill
I personally don't have any problem but admittedly with V1 it took me a couple of days to figure it out and realize it wasn't a top fill only..and I refuse to read directions...once opened, then I just squirt it down slowly and stop every few squirts, just until I realize its not backing up at all
Hmmm, tried to edit these into one post but it didnt work, sorry.....
I am going to say that I had a momentary problem with it, that is no longer happening and was wrong!
I *think* it was due to the fact that before this thread, I had put it down and just hadn't given it the attention it deserved, at that time. I have too many tanks and its not always a good thing as i don't always have time to give each one the attention others might give theirs.
What I spoke of in that post happened twice but at the time I hadn't used it for a while. Once i read some posts in this thread and was reminded of it, I started to use it again and fro that point in it never offered me that problem again with the chimney coming loose from the base.
The only other explanation was that it happened when I had taken it out with me. Perhaps I knocked it around?
Anyhow, working perfectly as soon as i began to focus on it a bit more than I had been.
Still say it's not as sturdy a tank though for throwing in ones bag as a subtank would be, but that's a minor problem in my opinion as I just use others when out and feel i need a super sturdy tank.

Just got my second Goliath V2, which I purchased from Smog over the weekend. What I was really excited about, though, was the GMini glass in black he offered. I did toss in one of the pre made coils because I don't have the time right now to build. I already know it needs to be broken in before the nasty taste goes away but other than that, they aren't that bad. I already used one in my first Goliath so I knew what to expect. Here's a pic of the two of them.
Looks great with the dark glass. Sadly, I didn't notice the glass for a buck on Smog's site until after I placed my order Saturday.
That probably looks better than the Pink glass I ordered to go with my 2nd Gv2.
You weren't the only one... I didn't see it either. I picked up two more since they were so cheap.Looks great with the dark glass. Sadly, I didn't notice the glass for a buck on Smog's site until after I placed my order Saturday.
