I have to say, after a few weeks with the Goblin, I am thoroughly disappointed with ALL of the screws on this piece.
The fill screw leaks like a siv, no matter how tight or loose.
The post screws don't hold 26 gauge anymore (yes it used to). Now my IPV2 is jumping voltage, because it doesn't know what ohms it's reading.
The copper center post screw literally just broke off while tightening it. With a mini screw driver. That has super low torque. Because it's tiny.
Luckily I know how to "Jury-Rig" stuff, and can get the post screws to work with a little extra wire, can get the fill screw to work with a little teflon tape, and can get the positive pin to work with the adjustable screw option on the ipv.
But should I have to do all this?
NO

Damn, thats unfortunate you are having those issues. Do you have the original version or the recently released v1.2?
I got the original version. (apparently this is before they fixed the screw problems)
Let me be clear about something: this is by no means a negative review on Robert or any of the guys/gals at Triangle vape. He has been prompt in replying to my emails, and has been great about working with me on this issue. Just beacause a product has manufacturing flaws, we shouldn't ever blame the vendors that sell them, unless they just have .....ty customer service. They guys at Triangle have been great.
And their 11% off coupons work, bringing it down to $29 before shipping.
Bottom of my Goblin doesn't have Goblin it has UD and a number and 2015.
Well my point is i'm wondering how many changes both cosmetic and functionally there is between the two versions.
Does not seem like that long an amount of time between both versions.

I have the newer version with UD on the bottom, and two chimney/glass sizes. It seems with mine in the 4.2ml tank configuration its a bit crooked. I first noticed it when screwing onto a mod, was very apparent, after its on it isn't so bad. It still vapes fine, but just another little con on mine.
Overall I still like the tank, and think its good for a $30 tank, but it is not without its minor flaws.

I too have the V2 with the 2 different sized tanks. I really like this atty but I am finding that juice is seeping out from somewhere. I'm not sure if it's coming from the fill screw or thru the airholes. I notice it more on my ipv3 and other mods with no ventilation on the topcap. I have not had this problem when using it on the praxis though.
Theres a tiny amount of play that the tank can move when your putting it back together.
The Trevor guy in the video people posted in here he takes a while straightening the tank when he puts it back together.
Hasn't been an issue function wise for me.
I don't keep it centered. I push it as far to the side of the fill hole as I can. A little easier to fill that way.
Anyone know when the Goliath is coming out?
Why do I keep thinking of Randy from My Name Is Earl while watching Trevor's build video? Lol
I get leaks when it's on its side. Will try more cotton in the channels next time. Seems to be a minor flaw in Trevor's video unless I'm not doing it right. It's tricky though. Don't want to block the channels and reduce wicking. As it is now it's nicely saturated with the disadvantage that it needs to be kept upright.

I remember someone here ordering their Goblin from vaporiz'arte, how long did it take for your order to proceed from "Item accepted - SÃO JOÃO DAS LAMPAS"? Mine has been like that since yesterday and I'm kind of starting to worry 
It's starting to look like I wont be getting it tomorrow, argh !

Yeah, the glass still has a bit of play, but that isn't what I was talking about, with the 4.2ml configuration the top cap screws on, and is crooked itself even without the glass in. Its a minor flaw, but it is extremely noticeable when screwing onto a mod because its wobbly as heck.

Took a day to be processed, but I'm still checking the mail. I'm here in the states though, so I imagine I have a little bit of a wait.
I'd modify Trevor's method. Keep it trimmed close, but put a little cotton in the channels. Mine are just about a third of the way down, and make sure it isn't squeezed at all by the chimney. I also leave a bit on the deck, but not in the air holes at all. I get no leaks this way.
Also may be worth noting, at least for my Goblin, a small o-ring on the fillport screw definitely helped stop the leaking from the fillport.
Where'd you get such a tiny o-ring?
I've used it since day 1. It's all I use anymore.
