Still vaping an EHPro Kayfun 3.1 and liking it. It seems that industry is moving toward cloud blowers in most of the new stuff.

I just received a LEMO 2 and it looks like a dual purpose tank for tootle puffers and cloud blowers. My first impression was with the stock .5 ohm coil. It's good for vapor and flavor but still has a metal undertaste. I wonder if they annealed the wire before installing the coil and wick. I need to strip the coil off and replace it with 28ga Kanthal.

ETA: I just wound a 2mm 28ga Kanthal coil and wicked up the Lemo 2. 14 wraps was a little on the high side at 2.35 ohms, but it's firing nicely and delivering excellent tootle puffs at 10W. No more metallic taste like the original coil had. I'm getting nice clean flavor through a Kayfun 4 drip tip with airflow closed down to the size of a pencil point.

Now, back to the Goblin Mini V2 thread.
The Goblin looks good. Is it compatible with 10W vaping?

I vape all my tanks at 7.2 watts. I am sure it will vape at 10 watts fine. I had a hard time with Lemo 2 wicking. I loved the flavor on it from what I could vape. I wish all tanks were as easy to wick as Kayfun 4.

I cannot tell from the pictures. Will someone be able to get to the wick/coil without dumping the tank? While I love my Orchid, my STM spoiled me with easy access to the build, and I do not know if I want to purchase another RTA that requires me to dump the tank to rewick.
Looks like you'd have to dump the tank to access the deck, or at least most of it.

For those of you with wicking issues, this is what I suggest trying. Build your coil. I build 2mm i.d. with 26g at 6 or 7 wraps. Center them up and keep them kinda low just above the air slots. The put your wick in. The pull the tails up and slip the barrel on so that your tails are sticking straight up out of the barrel. Then separate each tail and cut each wick tail as close to the barrel as you can. The take off the barrel, paint the wicks with juice. Then, making sure the tails are still vertical, put the barrel back on and stuff each tail down with a small flat head or piece of kanthal. Then fill the tank and voila. With this method I have chain vaped a .29 ohm dual coil setup all the way to 80 watts and no issues with dry hits. Mind you I don't like vaping it that high but that wicking method will keep up. Also I use cotton bacon if that matters at all, I doubt it does.

Anyways now I'm going to have to get the v2. I really hope they make a nanotechnology version of it as that would be great for me. I tend to get bored of vaping the same flavor for a while plus I want that volt mini/goblin nanotechnology setup. That looks awesome and would be perfect for on the go.

I've done that but didn't wet the wick before stuffing. I'll try that step.

@emajin9 I did it the same way too with out wetting the wicks first and I the result was the same as yours. Dry hit after a few puffs. I think saturating the wicks before stuffing helps it keep from getting chocked off when stuffing. Oh and keep what ever your using to stuff the wick down there as close to the barrel wall as possible.

I should be getting my V2 on Monday...will post with updates once I get it. On a side note, I rebuilt the V1 with two 26g Ti coils around 2mm ID instead of my typical 2.5mm...i'm really digging it since the airflow seems to have increased significantly... I hope the increase build space on the V2 (still don't know how they accomplished it) will allow me to run 2.5mm with the same results I'm seeing now since they say you can fit a 3mm in the V2...
