Mine arrived today. The atty at the top is an orchid - similar sort of device, and I guess a leading alternative to the goblin/goliath type atty.



It came in a rather odd sort of box. I guess Fasttech has some spare. I suppose it might be useful for something. No drip tip, no instructions whatever.(No juice either of course - I forgot to take a pic before I filled it.)




The goliath clone seems pretty well built. The tank is plastic of course.

I don't know if it's a one-for-one clone. I don't have an original. They aren't expensive, and if anyone had them in stock I'd have bought one instead of the clone.

The coils came in at 0.7 ohm each, so 0.35 together, too low for my 30 watt istick (no, I'm not a serious cloud chaser). I couldn't see a res/no res join so I tried increasing the number of turns on the coils, but it didn't make any difference so I guess there's no res in there. So I wrapped 8 turns of my 0.3 kanthal round the screwdriver it came with, which gave me 1.4 ohm each, 0.7 together, which is more my speed. It took me a couple of tries to get them in without shorting on the chimney - it is easy enough to stop them sticking out too much, but they can't be too high either.

The wick that it came with looks like silica - I didn't use it, I like cotton.

I built it as suggested here

In my view a lot better than the orchid - similar vape, doesn't leak, much easier to fill. I think it probably holds about the same amount of juice - nearly 4ml - but you can't see the last half ml going in and I didn't try filling it to the brim.

Downsides compared to the orchid - fitting the coils in without shorting on the chimney, and after filling you could cross-thread it very easily if you were careless. It is quite stiff to turn to adjust air flow or juice control, but I guess it might ease up over time.

I should maybe say I mostly use an erlkonigin clone (it's a kayfun-type atty with easier filling, holds more juice), but occasionally I like to vape clouds of vapour with a heavy VG chocolate gingerbread juice I make, and for that you need something with 4 juice channels and masses of air flow.

New, unused, boxed. Comes with a spare tank.
RRP £29-99, for sale at £20-00 including 1st class registered post.

For those who don't know, this is a sub-ohm tank, using prebuilt 0.5 ohm heads. You cannot use it on an ego, or on electronic mods (like the vamo) with a minimum resistance of 1 ohm. Maybe you can rebuild the heads yourself, but it looks like a PITA to me.

On the upside, it gives dripper level performance in a tank, good taste, and enough vapour to satisfy any cloud chaser.

Todd's review here

I've yet to actually try it, but Waitrose Homebaking peppermint ingredients are water, ethanol, peppermint oil (1%)

The build on the third one wasn't so good - started at 2.6 ohms, went down to 1.6 when I tightened it up, but still didn't seem right - maybe bad connection. So I threw it out and tried the spare coils supplied. The wicks are long enough to build with just one of them, have to cut them down to fit both in. Still not great. Maybe just I've still got too much wick in there, may need to drill out the airhole.

Thanks for the work Julie
Unfortunately I can't make the 31st - have fun
