Goblin Mini V2 users. Is leaking really an issue ?

[Fernando Mercerat]

Hi, I´m on the search for a new rta, and the Goblin Mini V2 has everything I want, it's small, topfill, single or dual setup, and very good flavor.
But I've read tons of people complaining about leaking issues.
I'm asking the users because I have a Kanger Toptank and there's a lot of people too saying that it leaks, but mine has leaked about 4 drops in a month, I don't consider that leaking.
What do you think about it ?
If I have doubts I'll buy another Toptank, I'm happy with it, but I'm a new vaper and maybe I'm missing something for not trying new things.
What I'm missing if a stay with the Toptank ?
I'm not into cloud chasing, nor high power, I use the Toptank with builds between 1 - 1.5 ohms and 13-25 watts.
Thanks.

(Have a special feeling about the Toptank, quitted smoking 5 days after getting it, after 25 years of 1+ pack a day )

It really comes down to your wicking and IMO the Goblin mini V2 wasn't that hard to get the wicking right. I've used it for about a week before I shelved it, not b/c I didn't enjoy it, but b/c I have too many RTAs in rotation.

Didn't leak on me. Check out some youtube videos on wicking tutorials when you do your build.

Since you mentioned you're not into cloud chasing and high powered vaping you might also want to consider the Serpent mini, single coil, great flavor, was easy to wick as well.

Its not impossible to do but with a dual coil setup you're going to need alot more wraps to get the resistance you're looking for. With a 30gauge wire (which is as thin as I would go) you need 12-13 wraps around a 2.0mm diameter (which is the smallest I would build) in a dual coil setup to get 1.5ohms.

If wicked right it doesn't leak. But as opposed to rice721, I find the wicking to be quite sensitive, I usually find me having to wick it 2 or 3 times before I get it right...bit of a pain. But it is a very nice atty once you get it wicked right.

Same findings here, but I gave up and shelved it the same day I got it. I prefer other tanks that I own. I may revisit it in the future, but it is a finicky little bugger.

My rule of thumb is being able to trust a RTA in my expensive suit jacket pocket all day. Not a chance I would trust the Gobllin II at this point.

Been reading about the Serpent Mini and it looks like a very good option.
Thanks.
