Whoo. Got it built. 2.5mm 28 twisted, .4 ohms.

I've never built on a four post deck before, how in the heck are you supposed to deal with the leads on the second coil? Once the first coil is installed there's no way to even get a lead through for the second coil, at least on the middle post. I ended up eyeballing and pre-cutting the middle lead, but that can't be how it's supposed to be done is it? It's so sloppy, and such guesswork to make sure the lead isn't poking out but is still securely tightened.

It also led to the first time I've ever lost a piece of kanthal wire after trimming it, so now I've got nightmares running through my head of a pet finding it and choking to death ugh.

Anyhow. Sitting for a few minutes before I take my first vape, here's hoping it lives up to my high expectations!
Push the 1st Coil down on the deck then put a slight bend to the lead going throw the center post then push it throw then bring your coil back up

It was mostly the fact that in order to even fit my 2.5 coils on, I felt like they had to be practically touching the post, so I didn't even have room to poke the second coil's leads through at all, much less bend them out of the way.

I suspect I have a bit more room to work with then I felt like, though. I've never worked on a deck this small. I've seen people get clapton in there, so I know intellectually there's obviously plenty of room for twisted 28. I'll just have to play around with bending the coils and leads on my next build.

Is the glass tank from the new Bellus RTA compatible with GM base? I think I read it somewhere....... In other words, bases switchable?

What I have heard is the Glass portion of the Goblin Mini is compatible with the Bellus.

Goblin Mini Glass = Bellus Glass

I Haven't heard that the Goblin Mini Base works on a Bellus. Or that the Bellus Base works on the Goblin Mini.

I put my first build on this Goblin Mini rta yesterday, and I'm definity over the buyer's remorse I had at first. I payed premium price because it was at a B&M, after having a few drinks...but I put a 0.28 dual coil in it (I wanted to test limits), and holy crap I am impressed. My first try at wicking, no leaks except when I flooded it on purpose (again, wanted to know limits).

I have to take short pulls because of the very low resistance, but it wicks on it's own very nicely. I even have too much cotton in my coils lol! I wanted to avoid leaking, and no leaks yet. A tiny bit of condensation on my mod, no problem.

One tankful lasts as long as one battery with this build.

I do not like having to use a syringe to refill, but it's not a huge deal. I never refill away from home, anyway.

Flavor is an 11/10 with this. You know, when you just need that extra little push of volume...oh wait nvm

I also don't like the flimsy 510 screw.

But I love this RDA

(Flavor 11/10)

This is what I did. I set my first coil, clipped leads, then removed it. Then set second coil, etc, then put the first coil back. It was tricky but I knew I wouldnt be able to clip leads with another coil in the way.

If any of you have some of the old 510 cartomizer condoms with the little plugs, you can make a plug to use in place of the fill screw....if not you could probably find some of those small flexible earring backs to use..

I also found a work around with the drip tips without having to use the adapter by putting a regular tip thru the cap and placing an additional o ring over the base, it's nice an snug. The package size says #5 3/8 x 1/4 x 1/16

So I'm not getting the blow your mind flavor I was hoping for. This is like a thing with me, I've struggled with muted flavors ever since I started vaping, still seem to have permanent vaper's tongue from the cigarettes.

Anyway, I want to make sure I'm doing everything to maximize the flavor in my next build.

Am I right in assuming I should build the coil as close to the airflow hole as possible?

How about wicking? I kept things pretty loose in my first build, because too much cotton in the coil killed the flavor in my subtank mini, does that hold true for the goblin?

I'm doing 2.5 coils right now, should I try 2mm to increase the flavor? Will that still hold up for chain vaping at high VG? I want to try my clapton, but I don't think it'll fit at 2.5, but 2mm on my twisted 28g had dry hit issues in my STM.

Ive always had clapton on mine. 28 inner core wrapped with 34 or 32 ga. 2mm id and pancake style. It produces better flavor than any other type of coil, imo for this tank. Since u cant fit staggered and those crazy builds.

Yeah that's probably what I'll go for next, though my clapton is 26 wrapped in 32. I figured I'd need to go down to 2mm to fit it, but since the clapton holds plenty of juice on its own I'm hoping dry hits won't be an issue, I'm a heavy chain vaper.

But how's pancake wicking even work on a deck like that? The channels are so deep and wide, I'd be nervous to do any wicking method that isn't at least covering them up.

I've done a modified pancake wick in the goblin mini, fluffed it all out, then trimmed the top and sides, left the bottom pancaked out and down into the juice channel. Worked well for me. I suppose one could not trim it as much and still be fine, I just didn't see a point in leaving all that excess cotton.
