Could be your juice, some of my older coil builds get bit of rust on them but nothing a bit of dry burning/water can't fix. I've also heard brass/copper does something to your juice/wicks that makes them turn funky colors. One of the main reasons I've avoided full brass/copper RDA's though I may be wrong.

- 24mm coil build goon rda
- Status
I usually stick with stainless myself. Brass Goon was a impulse buy while at my local B&M since it was all they had. Wanted a rda for during my workday that I could just drip into with out taking cap off. Been using a Sub Zero.
Seeing this post yesterday, and hearing that I was keeping the flawed inner barrel, I remembered I had this coil I never put in anything that was basically a "practice coil". It was mostly for technique trying, but I figured - why not:Just slapped this hog on my Goon.
24/36 clappy, 22g, 2.5mmID came in at .08 so hitting it on a mech.
Talk about a flavor beasting cloud chucker.
2x26 Ni80 (twisted) framed with 26 Kanthal, wrapped with 34 gauge Ni80. Ohm'd out around .12 I believe.
She is ugly, but she's chuck certified
Just picked up a brass goon from a bnm shop near where I am. I was stoked that they had it because back home in Nova Scotia, I couldn't find it anywhere. Paid $69 plus tax but a 10% military discount came into play. Can't wait to build on this thing. I have the TM v1 and love it, almost bought the TM squared but I saw this and got excited.

Screw a domed roofed top cap, my Goon is giving me kick ... flavor! #domedontmaketheflavorbetter #dontbelievethedomehype
This is a great rda but the brass deck I have is a waste of my money ,I wish I would've got the ss if anyone is thinking of buying get the ss don't pay more for a bad experience , the brass deck is bs it kills wicks and makes juice taste like garbage

The one thing which has been turning me off is the moving negative post, they did some poor thinking on this part of the design.
How is your neg post moving? Is the neg post attached with the screw on the bottom of the atty. Yes. Poor design. Mine Moves as well. I usually need to put the needle nose on it whike holding yhe srew in place and reposition it after tightening down coils. Without question it is a fiddly build but once it's locked in it is a great vape.
Well, I have tightened to philips screw that holds the negative post. When installing coils the post just moves since there is only one simple screw holding it in place with no locating pin, etc.
I agree to both points. The rotating pin, and the brass. Not only does it turn my wicks black within a day, but also I have set mine aside for a bit and now it is no longer glossy or shiny. It has darkened....like brass patina. I will not use brass polish on it because of the possibility of vaping the residue left behind. I like the whole idea of it with the bridged clamps and all, as well as the room to build. However, I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. I've gone back to my TM v1 Rda. Kind of wish I waited....almost a waste of money. I won't ever buy a brass rda again.
My Goon is now just a back up for when doing a new build on one of my two Sub Zero's, should have gone with the TM squared instead.
So the patina on the brass was so bad it was black and green. The local b&m shop where I got it from allowed me to exchange it for a SS one. Shouldn't have any more problems with that now. Does anyone know of a fiv for the rotating post? It's tight all the way and still rotates when tightening down my legs.
317L build. Flavor and vapor fer daaaaaaaze.
This is the best build in this entire thread. All honesty, no sarcasm.
