Anybody experience leaking from the fill hole?
When I put the goblin on my device and leave a gap so it's not flush it won't leak. But when I put it on an atty stand and the bottom of the goblin is touching the atty stand, it will leak.

Not had a single leak so far (touch wood). Strange that it's leaking from the fill hole. When I tighten the screw up in the fill hole it's slightly recessed into the base. If I ever get an atty that leaks there, I normally wrap a little Plumber's PTFE tape around the screw, or find a suitable o-ring

It's strange because I can put it on its side and there's no leaking from the AFC.
This may be a well derr coment but keep in mind these tanks do go through the juice a lot.
If yours is going great and after a few tanks it gets harsh then may just need to dry burn coils and rewick.

Mine yeah looks crap I need smaller and sharper scissors, but its going great.
Just point the wick ends in the direction of the channels and screw on the chamber.
Post above about leaking through the fill screw.
I got the v1.2 and the fill screw head looks like around 2mm long and goes into the hole so I haven't and don't see much chance of leaking through it.

Got mine built tonight. I rather like it thus far. Just did a simple 2mm 26g dual coil, wicked it up, and its keeping up well.
Probably going to try something different next time, maybe twisted 30g.

Same, 0.43 Ohm @ 40W. Best flavor at this wattage with this build, higher is just loses flavor and the wick can't keep up.
Using steam-engine.org, that's 206mW/mm2 which is cool to warm (the way I like it).
I wonder if there's still a tiny amount of swarf or debris from the manufacturing process that's stopping the fill screw make a decent seal. Might be worthwhile giving this area a concentrated clean, see if it improves things at all
Perhaps most are using a syringe to fill. Im finding the liquid does take a while to go down the tank, pass the chamber ( currently using needle top bottle to fill). So was thinking that maybe if your filling it that way then put the screw in there may be some liquid in the gap where the screw goes in which could then come out or be squeezed out and you don't notice it and later on take it off your mod and see the liquid and may think its leaking.
Mine is leaking out of the bottom as well. I covered the fill screw with a piece of masking tape, and almost all of the leaking stopped. There was a tiny bit of moisture, which might have come from the air holes. Teflon tape is a good suggestion, but the fill screw is so tiny that it will be hard to wrap. I might need to locate a little tiny O-ring, and see if the fill screw will go all the way in with an O-ring on it.
I haven't received my tank yet (tuesday! ), but was just curious about all those experiencing leaking: how much is it leaking? Just a little bit, or very noticeably?

For myself I did take it off the mod and there was some juice on the mod. This just happened once and it hasn't happened again in the last few hours.
I suspect that there was some liquid in the hole that got squeezed out when I put the screw back in and I didn't notice it.
No leaking through the air slots.
Don't know about others and any leaking they may have or its cause.
Must admit I've not had any leaking so far. I always fill with a syringe or needle topped bottle. Squeeze a bit in, take out the bottle, release pressure on the bottle (so I'm not sucking juice back up towards the fill hole). Chase the air bubbles back up to the fill hole and repeat the process. I use 50/50 juice so it's not that thick, but it still takes a couple of minutes to fill the Goblin. At the end, a bit of tissue wiped inside the fill hole gets rid of any excess juice and then pop the screw back in.
I know I'm probably "preaching to the converted" but slow and steady for me seems to work
Also PTFE tape. I use this on Kayfun screws, Lemos, Orchids etc. A sharp pair of close bladed scissors does the trick. Cut off a piece about 3mm in length, then cut this in half across the width. So you have a piece of tape 3mm by 5mm. If you put the screw onto a magnetic tipped screwdriver, hold one edge of the tape against the screw then rotate the screwdriver, it wraps the tape on to the screw easily. The sharp scissors are a must have for this. May sound a bit fiddly, but with practice it takes about 30 seconds to do. The tape should last at least 5 or 6 refills.
Hope some of this may help

I just got a little leaking from the AFC ring, wondering if it's the wicking. Think I may try and wick it with silica this time, see what happens.
Edit" nah, I'll just fiddle with the amount of cotton.

Check your 510 connectors friends. Mine had come loose and was leaking from it. This probably is the issue some are having with leaking from the AFC ring.
Tightened mine up, and leaking seems to have stopped, I'll let you all know tomorrow if it fixes it long term.
When I first got the V1, it didn't leak a drop, then after a while it started. I remember the 510 connector being really tight at first, but it was definitely a bit loose. I'm guessing it just loosened over time, from taking it off the mod.
