goblin

Im about ready to give up on this goblin malarky, I can coil quite well normally but this is doing my tree in, I think it might be the screws but everytime I screw my coils down one leg snaps off bit if I do it loose they pull out, no happy medium, any suggestions please? Using 26awg, tried twisted 32awg and all the same, by the way its the ft clone and think its the first version with crap screws

Its not cos its a clone, my original is the same. Real nightmare with nickel.
Cant be arsed with mine now its too much of a pain in the neck.

Sounds like you need to replace the deck screws with grub screws as recommended in Tom's Goblin Guide:

I have an original v1 goblin and the deck screws were not very good so I have replaced these with m2 3mm hex grub screws from eBay.. Just note that if you get these then you will also need a 0.9mm allen key or hex screwdriver.

If they don't leak from the fill screw, I'll buy one if you guys want to part with them. I chucked mine in a loch during the week @windows coz it leaked like f**K but I really liked the flavour from it.
