I'm probably going to run it single coil when I get it, so that's good to know. I figure it'll use less juice so I can bring it out, without carrying a screw driver and juice. Thanks.

I keep a Kayfun screwdriver on my keyring just in case.

I absolutely love my Goblin Mini! I use it on my eleaf Istick 40 TC (NOT IN TEMP MODE)

At home I rock my Rogue dripper on my Wismec Presa.

I gave my Coolfire4 to my sister because she is sub ohming now and needed a decent battery.

This mini screw driver comes in super handy with this tank.

Yes the Goblin Mini is very special.

Glad you got one and love the flavor coming out of it.

I never thought about vchick twisting the wire because of the tiny post holes.

Wait, what - I must have missed the twisting part? Should I go ahead and use the 32g and twist 2 together? Oddly enough (I really am a tootle puffer) I'm not into heavy duty, only aiming for about 1.5ish - recommendations?

1.5 should be very doable with twisted 32g. In my experience (and memory), the twisted wire should be similar to 28g in size and resistance. It will afford you more wraps than a single strand 32g coil at 1.5 ohms for more coil-to-wick contact, and it's more substantial, so the leads are easier to secure and are less likely to be snipped by the post screws.

Yes take about 8-12 inches of your 32 gauge. Fold the wire in half and twist the two wires together then take the twisted wire and wrap your coil from the twisted wire. I prefer my coils in the 1 ohm range.

Been wanting one for a while, and finally cracked down to buy one. kinda wish I woulda got 2, but this is ok. Hoping it builds well for my hammer =D will look sick on it for sure!

Worst case if I dont like it on my hammer, its going on my vaporshark DNA40 for mini tank awesomeness

I thought I was completely done with tanks until I got the Goblin Mini. The flavor coming out of my single coil build 1.02 ohms just blew me away. I never expected any tank to have better flavor than any dripper, and I have the convenience of a tank. When I am out and about.

I heard they are very cheap like maybe $11-12 on Fast tech. Some one mentioned buying a Goblin Mini at a brick and mortar store for $15. I paid 19.99 on eBay

Ok, so Saturday I was ready to throw my clone out the window because it was leaking so bad. I pancaked, I fluffed, I even put new kgd...:grr:

I wasn't even going to put the authentic together, until tonite. I went ahead and did a twist with the 32g and wicked it up and it's perfect. Not being one to let things get the best of me, I went ahead and tore the clone apart and re-coiled it, ironically it's working like a champ :sneaky:

I'm going to take both to work with me tomorrow and time will tell...

Very glad to hear that you have found the problem and possibly corrected it.

I never would have used the pancake wicking method. It's fine for thicker heavier ejuice like 70/30 or 80/20.

Most commercial ejuices are 50/50. They will leak like a _____.

I make my own ejuice to 70/30 and I ran the wick all the way to the bottom of the juice wells where my orgsnic cotton wick is visible beneath the chimney.

That works like a champ for me and not one leak.

There was a film of ejuice on the battery where the vapor inside the Goblin Mini had fallen though the airflow. I started releasing the button a fraction of a second before ending my inhale and now virtually nothing on the top of my eleaf Istick 40 TC.

How is the flavor to you on the Goblin Mini?

FYI, colored Pyrex tanks are now available for the Mini at Spectrum Tanks. Tank size #44 - red, green, blue, amber and smoke. No pictures up yet, but you can look at the other tank sizes to see the colors. I was hoping for teal to go with the Cyan evic VT mini that I know I'll eventually have to give in and buy, but it's not an option for that size. Got the red just because it's gorgeous. And a matching tip, just because anything worth doing is worth doing well :)

    Are the Spectrum tips compatible with the Goblin Mini? I only saw standard 510 tips with o-rings.

    Yikes, those are expensive! Jury is still out on what my thoughts are. The authentic has something, machine oil that's throwing off the flavor. I tore it apart and cleaned it, re-wicked and refilled and I'm still getting the same thing. So far the clone is winning...:thumbs:

    Right now, I'm honestly getting better flavor out of my evod dc & my egrip. I'll keep at it, maybe break out the vodka and soak the bugger.
