Sure will(two bears) . Recieved the goliath v2 with another g.mini. Built the single as you mentioned 26ga.7 wraps 2.4mm(Dia.). Came out great. Really spent time on the coil gap before dry firing. Ohms at about. 88 then wicked with 60% in juice well just past(chimney) threads. Great production and super flavor. Used Mountain Oaks "way of the dragon" ejuices. Have both rta's with same build. Pretty darn awesome!

That's exactly my point. I think the Goblin Mini is an awesome tank with awesome flavor.

I think building at .85-1 ohms is the sweet spot for the Goblin Mini .

Exactly my PolyCarbonate top was $1.99, and if they do it right it mah cure one or two glitches in the little Goblin.

If it will hold the juice while I re wick or build a coil the PolyCarbonate tank will be a blessing.

Got my fasttech "clone" and its great. It's tiny, tiny build deck.. I wish they just did a single coil setup instead of dual for more space, but it works good regardless.

Last I knew it was acrylic :shrug: why would you prefer one over the other ?

Polycarbonate is much tougher and less likely to be affected by tank cracking juices. These things are not always molded in high grade polycarbonate though. Food grade PC tubing, which you can buy and cut to length, will not crack from any juice I have found.

I agree. It would be PERFECT with a single coil instead of dual coil. I DID call it a claustrophobic deck. But OH so nice.

I should recieve my clones any day now. Glad to hear you like yours(Ou2).should iI have ordered a couple of bell caps and poly tanks? I'm thinking colored glass and a acrylic drip in the same color would look good.

It will be a while before I get my clone and Bell cap.

Most of the Bell caps use standard drip tips so you may not able to use the non standard drip tip.

Gotcha.. Im thinking unless there's some atty that matches the flavor and production. And has a smaller profile and capacity. I should be just fine for now. I'm enjoying the 2 authentics I have and 3 clones that I will recieve soon.
Just letting you know I haven't forgotten the backup screws needed. I have been a little sick this last week, so I haven't been able to travel. Will get back to you when I get better.Have a good weekend and keep vaping!

I built a 1.1 ohm single coil with 26g, 9 wraps. I tried 28g but after 4 coils got snapped by the screw trying to tighten them I went with 26. It's producing plenty of flavor and a surprising amount of vapor. I can't really fill it yet, as I can't find my needle tip bottle so I'll have to hit up the vape shop tomorrow. I held the glass with the top off and filled it up to the chimney to test it out.

That is what I have been telling people.

I literally thought I was DONE with tanks and would be dripping every few minutes to have a satisfying vape with flavor.

I tried the Goblin Mini and my first reaction was HOLY CRAP! I DIDNT THINK THIS WAS POSSIBLE!

The secret is the short distance from. The coil to mouth.

Badon...

Sounds like your cotton is too tight.

I have not learned how to send one of my photos but here is my build.

6-7 wraps around the shaft of the little blue screwdriver supposedly 2mm.

I use 28 gauge Kanthal, and the ohms rating is .9-1 ohms

The coil I am using now is 2.5 mm internal diameter 26 gauge and 8 wraps comes in at .81 ohms. Hope this is helpful to you.

I use plain old organic cotton balls. I don't care for Kojendo.


Oh man, thanks for the advice! I rewicked it a bit more loose and flavor has drastically improved. Extremely happy with the tank. Thanks again!

One more noob question... When wicked properly, should you see air bubbles come out from both sides of the wick? Right now I only see bubbles on one side after vaping it. TIA!

With all my tanks it depends on which way the tank is leaning. Air travels up, so if it's tilted air will only travel through one hole but I've taken them apart before and both sides of the wick is wet so it must be drawing from both sides. Sometimes if your wicking is really had one side will dry burn, but it has to be noticeably different than the other. If it tastes burnt, or if brown juice is leaking out the wick hole after a new wick was installed then you know you have an issue.
