Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Already four times that Fumytech gives us the blow of the baballe. The famous Chinese manufacturer responsible for bringing to market what is certainly the best atomizer of 2019, I named the Précisio, returns to his first love by offering us a swag clearomizer freely inspired by the Dragon Ball manga.
We are dealing with an atomizer using proprietary coils, which sports a rather particular look and which is aimed at a beginner or confirmed audience.
Strongly MTL typed, but still offering access to a restricted DL, the Goball Mini will be exchanged for 27,9 € which makes it a rather low price product.
As to whether the quality is there, I suggest you follow the exciting series below.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
Aesthetically the Goball belongs to the Dragon Ball family. He offers us a spherical form factor based on a normal basis. I can't say that I really appreciate the design but I imagine that the youngest vapers will find in this object the seduction necessary to make the purchase.
From top to bottom, we find the eternal drip-tip which overhangs the ball-shaped tank which will receive the liquid. Below the world map appears the rotating airflow ring. Under the bottom cap sits the non-adjustable 510 connection, but which is concerned at a time when all mods make it possible to compensate for this deficiency.
In terms of finishing, Fumytech remains within the high standards that it has itself helped to spread. Good quality materials and correct thickness, nice level of finish for an entry-level atomizer, screws and gaskets quite satisfactory. The manufacturer did not skimp despite the anecdotal aspect of the product.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
For the filling, Fumytech has opted for a particular system which does not seem optimal to me in the context of simple use.
You knew the atomizers that fill by unscrewing the top-cap, you know the atomizers that fill by pushing the top-cap sideways. With this atomizer you will have both, since you will have to unscrew first and then push. Why make it simple when you can make it complicated ? I admit that I do not understand this choice very well, especially since the marking for pushing changes place with the cleaning ...
Certainly this filling leaves me speechless since it is difficult, after having carried out these acrobatics to return the tip of a chubby-type bottle for example, the hole to do this being too small to allow both space dropper and the necessary evacuation of air from the tank. The result, if you press too hard on your bottle, an almost systematic overflow of e-liquid. Too bad therefore, it will be one of the weak points of this atomizer.
The tank will accommodate 2,7 ml of juice as specified by the manufacturer. This is correct depending on the target of the atomizer.
The Goball Mini is delivered straight away with two different resistances. The first displays 0.7Ω and will therefore rather be devoted to fans of restricted DL. The second resistor calibrated at 1.2Ω, will interest fans of pure MTL.
At least this is on paper ... in reality, the resistance in 0.7Ω struggles to transcribe all the flavors of your liquid while that in 1.2Ω is much more faithful.
It should be noted that the Goball Mini is also compatible with the following resistors from Eleaf, which will be a significant plus in the event of a shortage of manufacturer resistors.
The airflow setting of the Goball Mini is largely inspired by that of its big brother the Précisio, which, for those who know this atomizer can only represent an undeniable asset. Indeed, by a simple action of rotation you can choose between 5 different MTL levels according to your taste plus an adjustable level of DL by closing the slit more or less. Foot !
In summary, we therefore have a funny atomizer but equipped with the features necessary for serene use. What a pity that the filling was not thought to be simpler.
Drip-Tip Features
- Drip tip type: 510 Only
- Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip
Excellent little 510 drip-tip in Ultem, flared in its center for a good grip in the mouth.
The material chosen avoids the “burn-out” effect and therefore does not need complicated technology to function pleasantly.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 5 / 5
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
Guess what ? If I told you that the Goball Mini is delivered to you by a horse-drawn courier in a solid gold box you wouldn't believe me.
Indeed, we find the type of packaging inherent in the category. A strong cardboard packaging of black color covered with a colorful lid like a parade of thongs at the Rio carnival!
Inside the box, there is a very dense black foam, ideal for transport, which accommodates the atomizer and the spare coil. On the ground floor, a set of joints awaits you as well as a tool allowing the complete unscrewing of the tank for a thorough cleaning. Good game !
The instructions for use sit in the same place and speak French better than me among other languages that for the moment, I do not master at all! In any case, everything is explained, it is downright a textbook case.
To be choosy, I would have appreciated a spare tank ...

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.6 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
Beyond the form, very original for some, inedible for others. Beyond the filling which requires twice as many movements as a normal atomizer. Beyond the airflow which is really magical, does this thing vape well?
If you use the manufacturer's resistance in 1.2Ω, you will have a very correct taste result in all positions of the airflow with a power between 15 and 18 W.
On the other hand, I remain very circumspect on the resistance in 0.7Ω which I found sluggish, letting liquid filter along the chimney and, to be honest, not at the level of the atomizer.
I was not able to test with compatible resistors, but, knowing Eleaf's perfectionism, I have a rather positive a priori.
The major notable point of the Goball Mini consists of its work on the airflow, the quality and versatility of which are surprising at this level of the range.
In use, there are no problems to report: neither leakage nor overheating. The round atomizer knows how to behave in society.
Recommendations for use
- What type of mod is it advisable to use this product with? Electronic
- What mod model is it recommended to use this product with? rather a simple mod mono battery
- What type of EJuice is it recommended to use this product with? I do not recommend it for 100% VG liquids
- Description of the test configuration used: Geek Vape Aegis mono
- Description of the ideal configuration with this product: Mod not too powerful with a shape that can suit the specific shape of the clearomizer
was the product liked by the reviewer: Bof, it's not the craze
Overall average of the Vapelier for this product: 4 / 5 
The mood ticket of the reviewer
This atomizer gets and deserves a correct rating. It would have deserved much more with a more user-friendly filling system and a resistance quality in 0.7Ω identical to that at 1.2Ω.
It is nonetheless an original atomizer, easy to use, and which will suit even great beginners, as long as, of course, they adhere to the spherical and manga universe of the product.
For manga geeks, you already know that you will have to buy 7 if you want to summon the dragon!
