The coil sits on top of the airflow hole. Generally it's coil spatter that gets underneath. But if you are the type that blows out during the initial intake, you'll definitely get more condensation on top of your mod.
Thanks for the review. This will be my first dual coil tank to build. Was getting anxious to try something different than the kanger mini rta. The only thing I am concerned with is my inability to take much heat(from being a long time smoker). But the price and the fact it has a single coil adapter looks very inviting. I will place the order. Thanks
Put mine together the first time and all seems ok. Lot of machine oil ... one thing though, I got all filled up and complete and found myself with a single black o-ring left over. Its not one of the clear tank section gaskets, nor the black chimney post o-ring. Is there one needed that I have missed, or has an oring from some other atty crept into my area? PS I also feel although the vapor and taste are there, I feel like the throat hit isn't ... like I want to increase my 6 mg to 8 or so. common?
That mini looks so great on a stainless steel mechanical, seriously thinking about picking one up. I run my original goblin on my SMPL (A-MOD) and I love the feel of it, haven't put it on anything else in a while.
How do you all like it so far compared to the goblin if you own one? I would assume you have some condensation on the device itself from usage over time, but is it not that bad? I'm also nervous about the exposed glass, since it is flush with the tank itself, be more of a home device if I had one. I did manage to crack my goblin glass once in the 6 months I've had it.

I have not had the original Goblin. I can only compare the Orchid and the Goliath v2. The Goliath wicks my 100% VG unflavored better with its stepped channels. but I could see it working with the right build. Its currently loaded up with 30pg 70vg and wicks great. Both the mini and Goliath have a parallel 30 gauge build in them. 6 wraps on a 3\32 bit ohming out at .41.
I found that the smaller diameter from my normal 9\64 dried the vape to my liking. With the larger coil it felt moist.
Vape is very similar to the Goliath v2 with ever so less airflow.
I have not had much condensation build up. I don't blow through it so that will help.The pic is from a couple days use.
That doesn't look too concerning at all for a few days, I ask because I would like to use it on the SMPL just like in your above picture. Looks like it feels great in the hand. How is filling? I fill my goblin with no issues, but the needle is blocked from entering the tank completely due to it touching the chimney base. Does the mini's fill port stay clear of the chimney base or does it also contact? Have you had any drops with it? Just curious since the glass is exposed.
Been thinking about this tank and the aromamizer RDTA. I'd like to wait for an updated version if possible for the aromamizer, not too sold on the vape band thing. Hoping for a updated version lol.
Filling is easy, the flat head takes a little extra care, but is no biggy. Juice bottle nozzles all work, even the glass droppers. The metal needle tipped bottles can make it all the way in.
I have only knocked it over. No big drops. It does come with one extra piece of glass.
My only complaint is the trip tip. The supplied glass tube is a little wobbly and collect lip gunk. The adapter is even looser. This was resolved with a tip made for the goblin mini. The top cap and chimney unscrew and it fits up through the top, you then screw the chimney back on. Absolutely no wobble and the material does not collect that gunk.
Its an awesome little tank, it does not have all the cool features as the bigger ones, but that's how they where able to make is so short. It is about the same size as mechs with drippers. Just about the same height as the SMPL with a Veritas.
Once you get the wicking down you wont be able to fiddle with the build\wicks without draining. Which goes back to how they made it so short.
Flavor is good, but in this aspect its getting compared to a Veritas and Marquis which are the 2 kings of flavor.
I have nearly 20 different drip tips and so far that one is my favorite. Got it from FastTech here: $1.28 POM 510 Drip Tip - black / 21.4mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Yeah I do notice some complaints about the included drip tip and adapter. Are you using one of the Lightning vape drip tips? I checked them out and it seems like a great addition, a little pricey though.
That's the one. Yes definitely pricey. I made sure I liked the RTA before getting it because of the that. I was at a point where I loved the tanks performance but the tip bugged me. I have the stubby one and it is very short. If your lips touching the top cap would bother you then you will want the longer one.
Compared to the original Goblin I like the Mini's airflow much better, it has a much smoother / less turbulent airflow. I feel like the Goblin Mini wicks better than the original, I think because the juice channels are shorter, the wicking keeps up better. I have a SS a-mod SMPL I've used it on, works, and looks great, the 510 protrudes just far enough that I am comfortable using it on a hyrid top cap style mech. I do get a little condensation build up due to the bottom airflow, similar to the condensation I get when using my Kennedy RDA, but it hasn't been an issue yet, usually just wipe it off when I refill, and its fine. Refilling is easier than the OG goblin IMO, the flat head screw can be turned with your fingernail / guitar pick / screwdriver, and has a much better fit w/ o-ring vs the original.
For an under $30 authentic RTA, I have no complaints with mine, a worthy successor to the OG goblin. I haven't dropped it yet, so not sure about the glass, but it does come with one clear spare tank, and colored glass tanks are available as an accessory.
I got mine from Smog Distro, they were a few bucks cheaper than other US vendors when I ordered, Goblin Mini [UD] - Smog Distro
Mine came from myvaporstore wiht a thick green rubber or silicone band (with Mvs logo) nicely fitted to protect the mini goblin glass. I'm still not getting the flavor I'm hoping for and have some off-taste I ascribe to machine oil despite intense cleanings...
Anyone doing a dual coil temp build? I'm trying to run is on a istick 40(I use dna200 and sx350j at home) as my very small temp control portable setup but I'm having a hard time with the build.
28 gauge jacket is just getting crushed by the posts.
There's room for about a 2 mm coil (you can fit 2.5 but it's close) with 5-6 wraps unfortunately this puts it below .05 which is the cutoff for the istick. I am running a single coil right now with the stopper but I'd really like to go dual, if here are suggestions. I could use Ti wire and just drop the temp 150 degrees on the istick but that's not ideal.
Hanks for the input. I typically don't have issues finding the right build but this one is just frustrating me.

Are you using NI200? fitting a NI200 dual coil in there is going to be difficult. You will have to use the thinner wire which is going to be difficult to get a secure connection and wick. I would try twisting a 32 ni200 with maybe some 30 kanthal. Otherwise titanium looks like a good fit. Much higher resistance meaning less wraps for a RTA with limited space.
I did try mine loaded with a 28 gauge .11 NI200 single coil. It was the first time a TC set up made me go MMMM.

These tanks really are amazing. Not a fan of dual coils though. Running one in TC and one as a MTL. Flavor is superb on both.
