I'm trying to narrow down my list and decide on my next tank.

It appears the Merlin is good for MTL and DL from what I've read. Not sure about the Goblin though(anyone have a clue?).
I prefer MTL, but I do have an alien 220 and would also like the option to open up the wattage if I desire.

What I have no knowledge of is how the wicking is on these. I do have a tendency to chain at times and need something that can keep up.

Thoughts?

Both are great tanks. The GMV3 has small decks. The Merlin Mini has restrictors for mtl which it does well, otherwise it's open for dl. I suppose one could mtl on the GMV3 by closing the air down as it's a restricted lung hit fully open. Threading is a little crunchy on the V3 topcap.

I have and use both, but I use the Merlin Mini constantly and the GMV3 to switch it up.
I use the single coil on both only.

Have them


Posted this in another thread.



Doggy Style 2k16, very simple to build, can manage a fairly restricted lung hit, but was designed for MTL. I've only had it a few weeks, but so far this thing is the dryest pocket atomizer I've used. Zero condensation zero leeks/seeps.

Flavor is right up with the best. The 3.5ml rated capacity seems close, and for the size of it is very good. The only real negative to me is the plastic only tank, but I don't vape plastic damaging liquids, and spares are available so I'll overlook that. Filling is done like the old TGT unscrew the tank, fill put it back together. Yea a negative for some, but again it keeps the size down, and personally I find that fill method good, easy, and fast.

For under $14 for the clone it is worth the look for sure if your a MTL person.

I checked your link and they also have a version in glass, but show it translucent like the acrylic. Wonder if that's accurate. Nice little tank at a good price for etched glass.

It is not glass, typical FT screw up... Still a good little MTL tank, a V2 of this with metal top cap, threaded chimney, and glass tank would be quite nice.

Waiting for them to list the SXK replacement tanks, they are nice clear tanks, not all that fond of the frosted tank.

That's funny. I like the frosted look. Guess it all comes down to personal taste. nice thing is there's something out there for everyone.:)
