Thanks for the suggestions.
Like the idea of the iJoy single+dual deck but the Obs Nano is a better look and the 'no leak' is a factor that has plagued me on my last two tanks. HATE when a quality juice begins seeping (esp when I know it's my wicking technique that's lacking in finesse).
Keep going back to the Goblin for some reason...
Maybe I should just get them all!

There's a thread here for the Goblin. Check it out. From what I remember it is a dual coil deck. It may or may not have the single coil adaptor and the build deck is smaller. If your new to building the Obs Nano might be better. But check the thread out on the Goblin.

The Zephyrus has an annoyingly small deck! It's hard to wick properly cause of the tiny coils it affords you. it also squeezes the o ring against the glass to assemble it. Making it hard to take apart.
The Goblin Mini V3 is a much! better Choice IMO :) The capacity is small but can be extended with an optional tank section :)

Glad you pointed this out. My first mod when I kicked smoking was the Kangertech Topbox and whole rta was so small - tiny deck + tiny coils = frustration. Trying to get the wicks in was so fiddly. That along with early leaking issues (tiny wicking through the tiny coils) had me looking for a replacement early on.
I like the idea of having several options - build & volume - in the one tank, and it fits my smok alien mod.
Shame they don't offer the tank extension in a kit with the Goblin, appears you have to buy it seperately.

I have Zephyrus V2 and it taught me a good lesson. Never use best juice when you receive a new tank. :)

When I got Zephyrus I installed 2 coils, wicked as I saw on youtube, filled with last 5ml of my best juice and then I wiped all the juice from my desk. :D Don't get me wrong, it's a great flavorful tank you can DL or MTL and holds 6ml of juice. But wicking is PITA. Even when I thought I mastered the tank on some occasions it still leaked or it just didn't wick fast enough. You have to use just enough cotton to fill the holes. It means trimming the cotton to shape, using thin screwdriver to place just enough cotton over and in the holes, maybe trim again... and then you have to pray it will not leak and that it will wick fast enough. When wicked perfectly it's a really great tank and this is the reason why so many people still use these tanks (Goblin has same problems). Taste for me (2x2,5mm coils 6 wraps SS316L) is on par with with Rose3 and Taifun GT3 I use now. But with these tanks I can use only 1 coil and I can rewick in 5 minutes. And if there is a problem with wick, it can be fixed with juice flow control. And this is the reason that Zephyrus V2 is in a box cleaned, rewicked and ready for use ever since I got these easy maintenance tanks. :)
