Youde Goblin

[bentnectar]

so got my Goblin yesterday. My first build went well. I had an issue with wicking because i had too much cotton but i fixed that today and it is working great! vaping Catherine the Grape by velvet cloud. Great flavor and good clouds. Once you get the wicking down the device works great.

I just got the varying ohms problem. I simply took a short piece of kanthal, and put it in the positive hole doubled over. One on both holes. The Result is rock steady at .6 ohms. Simple fix.

I'll buy some replacement screws later.

The home depot screws I have work fine until I get some SS replacements. No more resistance inconsistencies.

The screws that came with the Goblin are actually less than the described 4mm in the owner's manual.

Just got 2 today and won't work with 26g or 28g. No small screws at the local hardware store either. Regretting I bought 2 of these.

I'm sure you can sell them on ebay without too much trouble, or on the classies. Lots of us would be happy to drop by the local hardware store and pick up a few SS set screws.

After fiddling with this some more #0132 won't hold, but #0201 will hold. Your local hardware store carries these tiny screws?

Completely forgot about that place. Both are 316.

McMaster-Carr Flat Point

And I have always returned the problem RTA's, this time I give up and will get the right part.

Interesting. I talked to a friend on FB who ran into the same problem I had. It's like the screw tips are "pointy" and will not allow the wire to be trapped under them. I'll give 26ga another go, but it didn't seem like it worked last time (couldn't trap the wire).....it only seems like the positive posts are causing the issue though; the negative posts are fine.....I have a message out to Youde on FB so we'll see what happens...

I'm pretty sure in Riptrippers review he said that he had trouble trapping thin wire but 26 and lower were fine. I just got mine today and built it with 26 gauge and I had no problem but I could see that it wasn't going to do well with anything thinner.

Yes you'll have to change the chimney and it may reduce airflow by a tiny bit however it will give you what your looking for at minimal cost to vapor production and air flow. Also I've heard that the Orchard parts work on the SilverPlay but I'd confirm that first as well.

I think that modifying this tank defeats it's purpose. I mean I know it has it's flaws but the one thing it does do quite well is produce a very tasty vape. I don't like Kayfuns but I do like the Silverplay but I wouldn't want to turn it into a KF and reduce the flavor and vapor production.

Well, I just re wicked it using the method from that youtube video posted. So far so good.

But man, that guy on the youtube vid needs to learn to edit, and get to the point. He said the video was about wicking the goblin, but it took 30 minutes to get to the wicking.

Try fast forward, he's one of the best at builds on youtube.

 

[thx997303]

Oh, no doubt he's thorough. I just would prefer he edit his vids so he gets to the stated point. Everything else was great.

And dangit, I can dislike him if I want!

Any M2 coarse threaded screw will fit.

Finally got a build in that works well
2.5 diameter was cutting off too much airflow
A 1.6 diameter, 24 gauge @ 8 wraps and this thing chucks the clouds

Goblin just sold on ebay for $115

 

[blargman]

Anyone know where I might find a replacement fill screw? Mine fell down the drain

Goblin just sold on ebay for $115

I ordered 2 a week ago and got them Friday. These don't seem that hard to find at under $30/each.

Got 20 screws from here Buy M21001 - M2X4 Socket Set Flat Point Stainless Steel A2 DIN913 | Mr. Metric

The one that will sort of hold the wire won't fire correctly. I got a 2.5mm coil to fit at 0.6ohms. It does take up too much space in the chimney.

I got mine on Mt Baker Vapor for 27 bucks after a 10% coupon code. "vaporfrombaker"
