UD Goblin Mini v3

[Jonner]

Thanks! Here's the link. I am going to pass on this one as I prefer single coil. Only 7 left ss
Original Youde Goblin Mini V3 RTA Atomizer

I still use stronger nic strengths and usually only use single coil at low to mid range wattage so I'm hoping a single coil build will work for me. If not I might venture into dual coil builds. I'll just have to mix at lower levels.

I prefer single coil builds also but I took a chance and ordered one from Origin. I got it in today's mail, and it's fantastic. I am running a single coil build- a "transformer" coil (Origin), looks kind of like a clapton, 6 wraps on 2.5mm, coming in at .50 ohms. I'm running it at 33.1 watts on a Pico. Lots of vapor, and a really, really good warm, moist flavor. The only downside I noticed was I did not like the drip tip(s) that came with it, so I replaced it with a delrin tip from a Serpent mini. I love this tank, I think they hit it out of the park with this one. If it keeps on keepin' on, this tank will replace my beloved Crown (original) as my primary tank, and that's saying a lot for me. Here it is on my Pico:

I have just purchased from a Malaysia online shop at the price about USD 30.00 including the capacity extension kit. I expect to receive it by tomorrow.

My previous purchase from Fasttech took 16 days to arrive at my door.

These dates keep getting pushed out at fasttech.

I ordered some tips and stuff from FT the day after I ordered from gearbest. My fasttech order is out for delivery today and the gearbest order still says origin post preparing to release shipment. I always kick myself after ordering from gearbest but never seem to learn my lesson.

Me too, Fasttech, Gearbest, and my latest order from Efun, I need to start spending the extra money to order from Domestic Vendors, I have no more patience with the slow boats from China.
And, as I thought might happen, this tank has become my #1 primary tank. The only downside is I have to replace my wick on an almost daily basis, but that's my fault, as I'm using very sweet liquids nowadays.

Been in rotation since it arrived here also.
I use very little wick in it after trimming. Really brings out the flavor.

Anybody else having there juice flow control not working completely right? I am using the single coil deck. I think it worked fine when i first got it. I close it and I still get bubbles. I get some eliquid in the air chamber. It doesn't flood though.

So far I like the dual coil better. The single, while I've only tried two builds so far is rather lackuster. I tried a 4mm spaced and a 3mm contact. I want to find a sweetspot, just haven't found it yet with the single.

Try a single parallel coil, 3mm ID, 4 or 5 wraps.

What I use in my V2 and works amazingly well.

Hi,

On the fence between Goblin Mini V3 and Merlin Mini. Has anyone tried both and if so which one has better flavor? Thanks in advance for the recommendation.

 

[hittman]

I saw a pre sale for the Merlin mini but don't know anyone who has it yet.

It seems that Fasttect is selling a shorter top cap + glass tank which can turn your Merlin into a mini, of course, it won't be as big (it is still 23mm) unlike the newly designed 24mm Merlin mini.

I have received my Goblin mini V3 few days ago without the capacity extension kit (the seller owe me one and has promised to supplement it in the future).

The biggest CONS of this tank is its JFC:

1. Though there isn't leakage at all for this tank during vaping, but closing JFC does not prevent little juice leakage while refilling. In the case of Augvape Merlin, its juice flow control is working so efficiently in preventing refill juice leakage (through the AFC)

2. Only by comparison that I realize how much better the clear visual of JFC in Merlin. For Merlin tank, I know if I have accidently closed my juice flow at a glance, but this couldn't be the case for Goblin V3, I have to practically turn the glass tank in order to ensure my JFC is closed/opened.

However there is one advantage of Globlin V3's JFC in comparison to the Merlin's:
Unlike the Merlin tank, Goblin V3 tank does not have the problem of big bubble stuck at juice hole.

Because my Merlin tank has round juice hole, may be the newer ver which has squre juice hole does not have bubble stuck problem... may be...

I use a 3.5mm diameter (Kanthal) spaced clapton coil with my Goblin mini V3 single coil deck. With the anti-spit nut attached, its airflow is still very close to the Merlin's, so its airflow is definitely bigger than Merlin without the anti-spit.

In my case, I prefer the anti-spit ON, the flavor IMO is better than Merlin.

Inspite of more frequent refill and refill leakage due to poor JFC, somehow, this tank is for now my primary tank (pity the Merlin becomes secondary).

Here is how one can put on or take it off the anti-spit nut:

This job is definitely not for an old man with shaking hand. There is no explanation with a manual or what regarding how to plug this nut. I consider this a CONS of this tank.
