    So... I got the Goblin Mini. Great thing - looks great, nice and compact, decent capacity and vapes well but... It keeps on leaking?

    I think it may be through the airholes.

    Any advice from Goblin Mini owners?

    So cute it hurts :D

    I don't think it leaks as such but condensation builds in the air path and drips back down a small amount.

    When I've used it with the glass tip and fully open I barely get any condensation. I tend to use a tighter draw plastic drip tip with the air control at around 1/3 open and this will lead to little bit of water/liquid on the underneath of the tank and maybe a bit on the mod.

    Also tis a bit loud due to being so open at the bottom.

    I forgive because it's so pretty, I'm such a sucker for looks.

    Yeah, it is a little noisey, but that's grand. I went out to a restaurant tonight though and when I got home, i realised that the bollocks had leaked in my pocket.

    I have the airflow about 1/3 open too as that gives a good draw. Using the stock drip tip atm and do notice the condensation alright but that doesnt seem to be the problem as the leaks seem to be just the liquid.

    Liquid is somehow escaping through the bottom between the base and the top of me iStick. It would seem obvious enough that its through the airholes? They are at the bottom of the tank after all so cant conceptualise how they prevent liquid seeping through.

    Ive emptied a 3ml tank now anyway so will have to investigate tomorrow but... Damn!

    Wicking is the most important part of building the Goblin. Let the wick down into the juice channels, wet it and push it into the channels before putting chimney back on, should be no leaks then.
    Once you have it wicked well the flavour off the Goblin is second to none imo.

    That could be it.

    I have 4 Kayfun L V2+'s and havent actually built on any other RBA's. They were just so good I couldnt be bothered. Had to go for the Goblin Mini though.

    With the Kayfun, you dont want to block the liquid channels so I avoided that though it makes sense now you say it as the channels are actually pretty big on the Goblin.

    Cheers, i'll try that tomorrow!

    I use the same system on 3 of them that I have and no leaks of juice, a little condensation but thats to be expected considering where the air flow is. Let us know how you get on.
