Bottom Fill Update:

Just wanted to say that After trying a few Different Techniques, I'm finding that using an 18ga Blunt Needle on a LDPE Bottle is working Pretty Well. So the Bottom Filling issue Isn't perhaps as Bad as I thought it would be.

Of Course, Top Filling would be 10X Easier. And there is Still the Issue of Not having deck access without having to Disassemble everything.

But the Bottom Filling is Doable. So I'm still planning on getting a Goblin Mini for it's Size.

The main issue with bottom filling for me is requiring a tool most of the time, like a mini screw driver. I don't usually bring stuff like that with me when I go out so I fill it up at home and have other tanks that I can just open and pour (like clearo tanks). I'm wondering why Youde said this would be top fill when it doesn't look like it, but perhaps its still a possibility?? I still want one though, but I will still wait on reviews.

It would look nice on a mini batt but you won't be able to build it too low. I've never built on a deck that looks like that as I have mostly worked on single coil decks like Kayfun or something.

I'm with you on the Tool Issue.

But I will say this. I see this Goblin Mini more as Something that you fill at Home, and then use for Running Errands or Short Trips.

There is No Doubt about it, Top Fill is 10X Easier. But for its Size, and to run it on something like an iStick Mini 20W, I'm still Interested.

BTW - I have been running my Regular Goblin in Single Coil Mode with the 2nd Deck Air Hole plugged. It does Work Very Well.

Although for me, bottom fill really isn't an issue. I have several of those trusty blue mini screwdrivers (both flathead and philips heads) which were included with various tanks I've purchased, and I keep one in my car and another at the office. Having said that, I'm not 100% sure yet but it looks like it's capable of top filling - unless the top section of the chimney is fixed permanently onto the top cap (which I don't think it would be). The o-ring on the base appears to be L-shaped, and chances are it would more than likely keep the pyrex section snug after the top cap is removed. Take a look at these latest pics below. I'll post an update once I receive mine...it shipped today and should arrive early next week.

So I know in the picture posted above the thing to the left of the Goblin is the plug so you can use it in single-coil mode, but what's the thing on the right side? It looks like a different top cap or something but appears to be too small in diameter to fit so I'm super confused.

Also shouldn't it be easy to top fill by just unscrewing the top cap and leaving the chimney in place?

If you Unscrew the Top Cap, what is going to hold the Glass Tank in place?

I said Earlier, that a Goblin can be Top Filled. But if you Kack, and the Glass Tank lifts at all, your gonna Dump a Tank full of e-Liquid on Your Hand. Or Your Mod. Or Both.
