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. I look at car engines now and say oh that's nice and walk away , I've yet to service the mariva but I know its gona be a pain what happened to user friendly nearly emptied the tank will post pics of quick vidal lol |

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

tbh it only takes about 5 mins once you get the hang of itthe 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.  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  |

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 |

Got a little leak problem. When tank is full, its fine. Gets to 3/4 way empty then leaks. Not a lot but enough to bug me. Fill it up and its good again. Vacuum issue? Its a goblin mini clone. Got to say, its best flavour tank I've ever tried. Airway just slightly open cos I do like a tight draw about 25 mins in he wicks it and so far is the best way ive found |

v nice bike do they still weld the turbos shut all ways wanted the midnight ver The vmax never had a turbo. What it does have is a butterfly between the four carbs on the old one so when it hit 3000rpm it would open allowing all the carbs to feed each cylinder. Not sure what setup the new one has but its prob fuel injection. knew they had summut that they welded shut on the early uk ver,s to spoil the fun thought it was a turbo as the unrestricted ones were referred to as fully blown and known for being a bit of a hand full only ever got as far as a lowly rd 500 before I had a kid and wife made me get rid,i was a bit nuts on a bike lol |

there is only so much a protank/evod can do so you will probably get better upgrade by trying a new tank
something along the lines of the mini nautilus should be good that use shop got coils
it might also be a good time to get a kayfun v3 mini clone from fasttech if you fancy a go at a rebuildable tank as its one of the easiest tanks ive come across to build
evic mini is prob best priced single 18650 batt mod out at the moe

I have one of these on preorder with Fasttech. Its with growing anticipation that i wait for this to arrive, with its long life tungsten/ceramic coil i am hoping to use it with a dna200 mod and a tungsten wire profile for TC vaping. seems like boldvapes have it in stock in the UK already while fasttech are still awaiting stock ;( - not fair!! anyone got one yet ?? any first impressions yet?? Sincerely hope it is long life at nearly £9 for a replacement  6 months is suggested |

as said above 2 coils half's the resistance so try the atty on diff mod if poss if not do the pressing power button with no atty on the mod to try and get the correct reading
that is one of my fave builds (2 claptons around 0.4 ohms so you end up with 0.2 ohms)but it eats batts as it runs best around 70 watts you can prob get away with 60 watts and it will fog up a room in no time
but you have to get the mod to read the resistance right because bad things can happen
it might be worth removing the coils and checking that the empty atty show as no atomiser then trying 1 coil to check the resistance and when the 2nd is fitted the shown resistance should half
