Goblin Mini RTA review.

[ToolmanTexas]

I just received my clone version from 3Fvape and absolutely love it. I bought it because it could do single coil and so many reviewers have raved about the flavor. AND they were right, getting fantastic flavor with a 28 gauge 8 wrap 1.0 ohm coil.

Don't dig the bottom fill but understand might have to have it for leaking issues since top fill is hard to nail. Deck and screws are super small but expected.

Fantastic small look and great flavor. For <$10 I'm in for a couple of more

That's a tricky one as I love it the way it is.

I don't want top fill if it means the overall size gets bigger. Perhaps a silicon plug instead of that fiddly little screw?

I love the airflow, I've got other tanks with both bigger and smaller airflow, so this one fits just nice in it's own space. Okay, the weeping onto the 510 can be annoying. So maybe we version with side airflow.

For me, that would be the non-adjustable and set the same as the current model full open. Probably wouldn't be great for their sales, but would suit me

I've never tried the GM with a regular 510 drip tip, and again I love the custom size glass ones they provide (oh my, I really am a GM fan boy!).

No, that's it for me. I can't think of any other changes for this one that wouldn't ruin what it does so well right now.

Dave I have a bunch of ideas.

1. Solid instead of two piece chimney.
2. Get rid of the pendulum airflow msjevtye base 2-3 mm thicker and put the airflow on the side.
3. The ability to bottom fill without tool.
4. Standard drip tip
5. Make two models. 1 for single coil. Another for dual coils.
6. Ability to pull the deck without dumping the juice
7. Grub screws (Allen screws
8 larger diameter screws for more durability.
9. Sell the GMini bases separate.
10. Switch from the special flat O rings to standard round O rings
11. Sell screws so you can keep your GMini going

Good suggestions above BUT no changes can change the size or flavor production. Anything that changes that needs to be null and void because those are the 2 favs of this tank!

Agreed. The only thing I suggest is a single piece chimney instead of two piecees. I suggested a thicker base but not a taller tank.

 

[drugarth]

take a look at the Nano clone....takes normal 510 driptips, is even smaller (I want small!)...as far as I'm concerned the only thing needed to improve on that is the filling method....and indeed provide spare bases and fill screws! (if they still gonna use them), ooh and perhaps velocity style posts...

Curious why you prefer a single chimney, I always like to look at my build/wick once I have chimney installed but am open to understanding pros and cons of both.

Link to nano clone so can take a look?

Don't own the mini, but have had my nano for 3 days. Definatly a good tank. I'm not understanding leaking issues talked about here, are your seals intact?

They definitely need to fix the fill screw and make it philips, otherwise have had no issues with that.

Idk about the mini, but the nano was shipped with a "beauty ring" to prevent scratches on your mod, and honestly could of ben a great improvement/peice if they actually thought it thru. It doesn't protect against the condensation build up... only scratches to the mod.

Wonder if that ring fits the mini also

Maybe use the ring/washer as a pattern to make one out of felt to help with the condensation issue?

From what I understand, yes. The "nano" was originally a kit that only comes with the glass and top cap and ment to be used on an already owned mini, so the bases should be the same.

Eric

Already a head of ya but really tho, the beauty ring should of fully covered the bottom and "sealed" to the afc oring (with the afc removed). The beauty ring itself acts as a afc if adjusted when putting the atty on the mod. Redundant, you can leave the afc arm on or off with the beauty ring.

 

[drugarth]

I can confirm that the base and chamber of the nano are exactly the same as the Goblin mini, even the single coil adapter of the original fits.
They just removed the chimney and added a different topcap (and used shorter glass obviously

 

[defdock]

Wish this came with a single coil adapter :/

 

[drugarth]

yea it got all the spares but the single coil adapter and a spare glass...but you can use one of the original goblin mini's...since I have 9 of those not a biggie for me still they should have included it and raised the price by 50 cents.

 

[defdock]

This is my first goblin, so I have no spares from other sets :/

Got this from ft, all it came with was the tank, beauty ring, 2 coils and 3 replacement screws. I didn't like the glass (don't like glass in general) so I made a replacement tank out of a defective kayfun pc tank.

Single coil adapter would be nice, but not a huge issue. Only thing that jumps at me as far as issues is the damn fill screw being flat head, and the lack of condensation protection.

 

[ThunderDan]

Well now I want a nano, thanks guys.

My black youde goblin mini came with stripped post screws, sucks, was a Christmas present. I really wanted it in black too.
