Wow! Unexpected surprises. That makes opening vape mail even more fun. (would I sound too much like Rixy if I gives ya hugs?)

Bordering on the ghey.

Years go when I was new in AA I'd somethings go to NA meetings even though I was never into the N. Well at NA they are into hugs. I'm a 3 feet of personal space at all times guy. Haven't been to one in years though I still have my one year NA coin that glows in the dark so I don't have to.

So I'm looking for a pic of the goblin mini deck. Found this.
View attachment 599369

Look at the blowout on the negative posts :facepalm:
Do the screw heads come pre-stripped o_O
Do those screws go down past the wire holes? If so... Yikes

Mine don't have that blowout, or if they do, it's too small for me to see (which is quite possible - these are TINY). In answer to your second question, yes, the original decks that came with the tanks were pre-stripped. ;) And I think yes to the third question. I'll get to that in a minute.

I just started ignoring the holes, tired of cutting wires, I just wrap the wire around the head of the screw. I use smaller gauge wire, so for me that works. YMMV

TOO SMALL! My hands are trashed, which is why I resisted (resistance is futile, I know, I know) getting into rebuilding for so long. I thought I had to wrap wire around screws, and I can't do that. When I found out that they come with HOLES you can stick the wire through and then tighten the screw down on it, I was all over that idea. :) But I wouldn't be able to wrap a wire around a bigger screw, and believe me, if you've never seen one of these, you can't believe how tiny everything is.

Lannie tomorrow I'm gonna finally have time to get your stuff out.

I'm gonna throw a Goblin (authentic) and a Goblin Mini (authentic) in the box.

Throw the janky one out.

Do you have needle bottles?? Without them the Mini is a drag.

OMG, you SPOIL ME! I'll wait to fiddle with these any more until those get here, then. And yes, I have lots of needle bottles. I've been using them to mix up juice samples in when I'm concocting some new kind of juice. :)

So. What I've been doing for the last hour or so is making coils and seeing if I can get them to read consistently on that Goblin mini. I used 24g wire, which is WAY too big, but for purposes of investigation, it was fine. I found that I don't have to hork down on the screws to get them to hold the wire. Just turning the screw until it stops turning will hold it securely. (This might indicate that the bottom of the screw is sharp... but I don't know.) I did just one coil for my tests, because I think the other problem I might be having is the legs from the second coil might be touching the first coil. It's so cramped, and I can't really move the first coil up or down enough (because it has to be mounted SO close to the posts in order to clear the chimney), that it's hard to get my wire snips in there to clip the legs off cleanly at the posts. Did I explain that well enough? Anyway, so I was doing one coil at a time.

The first one was 3mm, which the chimney wouldn't fit over, but I was only checking resistance, so it was OK. It seemed OK for a minute, then it started jumping around after I fired it, then settled back down and read .69 ohms consistently. (I have it on my Disrupter, so I can read the resistance and fire it, both.) Then I took that one off and made another coil, still using 24g Kanthal, but 2.5mm. Got that mounted fine, and tapped the fire button. I can't remember now what it was reading... I think .84 or something, whatever, it's not important, but it was staying consistent within a couple hundredths. Then I fired it, but only two or three coils on one end (the negative post end) lit up. It was a 10-wrap coil. I let it cool down a little, then fired it again for a sec, strummed it lightly, fired it again (still just those two or three coils on the end glowed), and then it got real bright and said "SHORTED" on the mod's display. Crap. I don't know what I did wrong there.

So I took that one out, tossed all my coils and snips of wire, and put everything away, because I was getting a headache. I already HAVE a headache, but it was getting worse.

It's a good thing you're waaaaaaay over there, then, 'cuz if you were here, I'd hug you. :D

Somebody better ride back to town and get a "large amount" of dimes.

That one and the Wide, Wide World of Sports are two of my favorite lines from that movie! LOL! Oh, I have hundreds of favorite lines from that particular movie, but those two always make me laugh out loud. Yes, I've seen that movie over 100 times, and I still laugh at Slim. ;)

This may be a dumb question, but wouldn't that make it harder to figure the resistance?
Nope


OK unless I'm missing something here :confused: No not at all. Resistance would be the same or very close whether under the screw or wrapped on it.
Yep


I could be wrong but I think the difference would be minimal. Maybe instead of a 1.5ohm you may end up with 1.54 or something along those lines.
Yep

I use tweezers, not my fingers, and I have a powerful magnifying glass. :D I do it on a Fogger Mini, which is I am sure smaller than you are working with, 1mm diameter, 2.4Ω, 33 guage NR-R-NR premade (from FT) coils, we are talking small here, and I wear tri-focals. Not hard with the right tools. :)

A 10 wrap 24g coil on 2.5 is a real sketchy build, you'll need an excellent juice feed to keep a coil like that saturated properly and the Goblin Mini will not provide that flow. I did put a dual 6/5 wrap of 24g SS316L on 2.5mm in my Mini after my suggestion. It's vaping very nicely on the eLeaf Pico at 45W/420F in SS TC mode.

Back in the day if we had a nasty wire cutter (Mutation X V3, I'm looking at you!), we used to trim short pieces of wire flush with the bottom of the wire opening and stand them in the post holes. This will fill up the space so the screw will not go down past the bottom edge and cut smaller gauge wire. Half a dozen 24g pieces should fill up that space quite nicely.

The TFV8 with the T8 coil givs me a inner happiness I didn't think possible. I swear I'm gonna throw everything else away. Except the Baby Beast.
well if you're sure you're done with em.......don't chunk em.......put em on the pif thread or sumpthin.

on a P67/Odin combo.
welcome to ECF and to the womper woom! Oh my a p-67! What color? My dream is a solid hammertone body with SL hammetone door. I have a couple grands and a couple minis, and a woodvil, but no p-67 yet. I did get to use one for a week though. It was nice! My odin quit working. All I can think is the insulator mighta cracked. Can't think of anything else that would suddenly make an RDA stop working. But my fav atty now is the RM8 derringer. Might be time to step up to something with a bit more air flow soon though.

Rich just came up with a way I can snip the wires close. Duh. And I don't need paper-thin snippers to do it, either.
and what would that way be hmmmmm????

Ok, have read this several times, and my brain aint gittin what you're saying. Not that this is a surprise. Can ya splain me one more time inna kinda different way?

Being busy this week. Interested to build on the new deck design..

Kewl beans!! Good to see ya. Hope ya aint gonna be too busy to come talk to us :)

This deck is a dream to build on and wick, so simple !

Built some fused twisted Claptons but with higher gauge wire this time for the HoG, comes out at 0.5 ohms, this should be perfect for that mod......if the wicking can keep up and of course it doesn't leak like my last tank, cough, mason, that is, as we speak, still leaking away in a plastic pot..

Same principle as the Supreme, Boreas, Modfather where the juice comes underneath and soaks into the wick, basically an RDTA. Just by initial thoughts without vaping it, this is the best Griffin design so far, hmmm, Kennedy airflow me thinks.

Best juice control out of the Griffin series too and I must admit, it's so nice to turn the JFC off and fill the tank without screwing the top back on, tipping upside down and quickly vaping it to get a vacuum.

Nope, I've filled it up, screwed the top and it's sitting there as I'm waiting for these 18650's to charge.

Threading is all good, nice and clean, so far, so good.
