I had to check what the hype was about so ordered the goblin mini and it rocks

Thanks for the instructions

It is a great tank,I'd say one of the most popular on the forum.

Lushen · 20/9/15

Ok, I finally made time to put in a Clapton 32/26

6 wraps at 0,7 ohms on a 2mm ID
And it's a tight fit, but amazing flavor

Very nice build! How is the ramp down of the coil?

Ramp down is fine. I just leave the fire button for a split second before I stop vaping.

Flavor is crazy though...

Sweeet Cheeses....A Goblin mini and be complicated when you're a nooby...after the 4th try I think i'm on the right road! I just know when its time to start rebuilding there's going to be some serious facepalming

moonunit · 1/10/15

But once you get it right it's a great little tank. Also took a bit to get the wicking sorted

Received my mini on friday, did a few builds on it already.

The first one was a major fail wicking wise- juice was leaking badly.

This is the current build

26g kanthal
7 wraps
2.5mm ID
0.3ohms

OH SO LOVELY

skola · 1/10/15

Best tank in my opinion..

Nope, thats masking tape LOL

Put it there when i saw @Marzuq 's post of the top scratching.

I was referring to the juice that accumulates between the goblin and the mod.

Taking a closer look at the pic i see the masking tape.. I'm a knob.
Anyways..

You could try the scottish roll wicking technique..

So even though I haven't had a dry hit in the Billow2 or the Goblin Mini as yet, touch wood, I was curious to see whether this wicking method will work in an RTA after reading some of the comments above.
6 wraps, 26g Kanthal, 2.5mm ID, 0.34 ohms, vaping at 45W.No leaking thus far, flavour is just as good as with my normal wicking, more vapour production and the amount of wick in that little chamber does restrict the airflow ever so slightly.
I also reduced the amount of rolls by 2/3.

I've got the identical build on mine as you have in your previous post, I actually cut my wicks closer to the outer posts than you, similar to @Marzuq in his first post. Haven't had a leak or dry hit since i got this tank.

I can vouch for @skola 's method of wicking, haven't had a leak (or dry hit) on the Goblin Mini since he helped me. As he explained, his wick is cut closer to the outer posts.

Ohmen · 2/10/15

I am definitely trying this method. I use much less wick.

@skola do you saturate the wick before you fit the chimney or after?

Always put some juice on the wick before closing up a tank. You might fire it to soon after filling and ruin your wick.

SHiBBY · 2/10/15

I got both the Goblin Mini and a new mod this week, and the idea of scratching and juice leaking onto the top of my mod obviously didn't appeal to me... Soooo today when I got home, I made "The SHiBBY Mod Guard"!

skola · 2/10/15

That's great @Pixstar. I'm happy to hear it's still working out for you!
@Ohmen I saturate my wicks after they nicely tucked in the chimney. I just make sure the mod is locked. Than I wait for a few seconds, fire it up for about 2/3 seconds and close it up..

Hi @Riaz, i often got that with the Lemo2 on the iStick50

Oren · 26/10/15

Has anyone noticed that the adjustable positive screw undoes itself when unscrewing the atomizer from the mod? This is happening on an iStick 60w TC device. I guss I should just tighten the bugger down more...

Never had this happen to me before.

It happens to me regularly as well but I'm not phased by it

I have not noticed that, will check when I re-wick again...

Heckers · 28/10/15

Wow the flavour on this is amazing. Its seriously making me consider getting a regulated mod with this RTA to possibly replace my REO mini

! The only pain is the bottom fill screw.

the goblin mini is awesome for flavour. Beats any reo combo hands down. the zephyrus is better. and the bellus. well the bellus is in a league of its own

Hey @Marzuq,
What's your go to build in the Bellus? I still find my Goblin Mini slightly better in flavour than the Bellus.
