This is the method I use for mine. Not a hint of a leak or a dry hit.

will give that a try as the most I can push is about 45 watts the way I use at moe

I keep hearing nice things about the Goblin, but that video has put me right off, good video though it may be, that is far too much faff for me and why my Orchids are in the apocalypses box, there is no way I'm doing that twice a day. People say gennies are faff but you only rewick them a few times a year max, for cotton Aromanizer's are far easier and much quicker to rewick than this. No doubt they will come out with a 2 post deck like everyone else before long.

tbh it only takes about 5 mins once you get the hang of it
the guy in the vid makes a meal of it
just trim the cotton with 8 cuts about a millimetre over the with of the deck put the chimney on then gently faff about with the wick pushing it down towards the juice channels with small flat screwdriver
it seems to be the pushing it down that stops leaks

the mini goblin its self is  imho a v good all round atty and worth a punt as it will do single coil mtl or duel coil lung hits but it do get a lot of condensation under the atty

Great info if you have one and need to get it working.  But IMO these designs where you need to Vidal Sassoon the wick are just going to waste loads of liquid with trial and error then put noobs off rebuilding when it just doesn't need to be that difficult.

I'm sucking for a second or two after I stop firing. Seems not too shabby. I'll not touch this build for a while now.
Oh and the top fill is such a doddle

I just timed myself changing the 2 wicks on an Aromanizer (had the wicks pre rolled) from tank on to refilled, rewicked and vaping was 1 min 35 secs, no dry-burning.

love it
but I always use cheap vg from boots when trying a new atty (boy was I glad I was close to the sink when I got the mutation tank)
for me part of the fun is learning new and hopefully better ways of building a tank and his Vidal Sassoon way seems to work well on a lot of attys
that's it that method is now called the Vidal

I do know what you mean decoy but for me it's like changing the clutch on you car in December, on the street, with no clutch aligner: I can do it and even take pride I managed to do it, but after doing it once I'll avoid having to do it again like the plague. A bit OTT but...

[decoy]

can do a clutch on a mk3 4 speed escort in 45 min in nutsford services and no its not something to do again

but the size of the goblin and the amount of flavour and vapour make it worth it
come on its the same size as my doge dripper,i want a mini volt just for the goblin

[VapingBad]

Mine was a Mk4 Cortina on xmass eve, it was the core plug behind the fly-wheel, no clutch aligner just a stick and some gaffer tap, can't remember how long it took, but put me off fixing cars for a good while. I can remember driving my transit around with the new break pads in the glove box, having to change them while out and about, luckily my passenger knew some local for a cupa, only took 30 mins max.
