Goblin v2 discussion

[mchaggis79]

Hi all just got my goblin v2 the other day and so far I really like it. Much better so far than my old orchid v4. However I'm trying to do my typical orchid build on it, albeit different wicking method being used, of 26 gauge kanthal 8 wraps 2.5mm. My problem though is this appears to be a tad too big unless you get the coil in the PERFECT location. Anyone have any wicking and build tips on this one? I've been making smaller coils and it's working better, but I'm wondering what size coils you guys are putting in this thing and with what results.

My only problem though is I can't seem to get the wicking quite perfect. Still getting great flavor and clouds, but it seems sometimes it gets really hot almost like the coils aren't being fed as quickly as they should. Thoughts?

If you goggle trevor jones goblin rta you'll find an excellent video on building one of these. A lot of people seem to recommend the little blue screwdriver which is 2.4mm. Thats what I've been using it seems to work well for me.

Edit wrong thread.

This seems to be working well, 28 gage Ni, unsure on diameter but a little tight. Not confident on wicking yet but seems to handle different methods well.

That's not the Goblin V2 in your picture.

Thank you for posting this.

I tried wicking it his way and it seems to work better. Might try playing around with coils to see if I can't get something that works perfect.

On a separate topic he mentioned twisted or braided kanthal. I have a lot of 28 gauge kanthal I don't use anymore and id hate to see it go to waste. Is there a way to braid kanthal yourself?

I think my goblin is leaking out of the fill hole or something. It's very slow leaking, but I'm starting to get tired of cleaning eliquid off my vaporshark rdna. A little gets into the battery compartment of it too. I'm thinking maybe wrapping the head of the fill screw with Teflon tape might alleviate this?

Or perhaps poking it through a tiny piece of a vinyl or latex glove could work? Can't imagine adding an o-ring or gasket would work

I used teflon tape on the fill screw to stop leaking, and I top fill it. The wicking can be hit or miss on the Goblin. I ended up dremeling the juice channels bigger to help with wicking issues.

If it's like a decent leak probably a wicking issue. Can get a dampness to the bottom of it, I think it's the way the AFC is designed more of a condensation.

I used teflon tape and it's been a few hours now and the amount of liquid in between the atomizer and mod is a lot less than before. There's still a little bit there, but it's very very little. Much happier. I'll try tinkering with it a bit more to see if I can't keep it 100% dry.

Apparently I was wrong. It's still leaking. Wicking is perfect too. Nothing underneath the afc ring. It's all on the underside of the atomizer.
