P.S. @muth 3rd try on my build and was able to get 7 wraps of 26g on a 2mm in there but damn it's tight.
Ohm'd out at 0.4 and it's vaping real nice now that I got the wicking figured out.
It's fiddly but once you get it right it vapes great.
Yeah, you know my fingers and hands are a lot smaller than yours;)

Have you guys checked out any of those vids posted on top of the thread? I copied Ray Lo's wick and I didn't have a problem with dry hits but it was not high VG. When I use high VG I sometimes have to cover the airflow and pull to draw it up.

I've watched Ray Lo's video before but I after I read your post I decided it was worth it to take a second look. I payed a little better attention to how he trimmed and evened it out. Rebuilt and it works pretty smooth at 35-50 watts now. I also changed the coil to though. Put a dual Tiger coil, .35 ohm. Really kicks off the flavor!

I tried wicking it like my fogger v5 and I may have hit something.
It's called "split wicking" and I had to do some digging but found a vid on how it's done.
Split wicked my Goblin last night and it's working well so far..
Fast forward to 27:00 to see how it's done.

Mtbaker still had the goblin in stock as of last night. Just ordered one. Hoping I won't be kicking myself.

Fogger V6 is going after Orchid, Billow, Silverplay, Goblin, etc. Bigger deck is a key feature, along with a proven top fill implementation, external AFC, 6 ml (claimed) glass tank, etc. Stock will not breathe quite as good as Goblin, but it may be plenty and is otherwise tweakable.

No, I have not bought it yet. I'm sticking with threaded tanks for the time being to accommodate my Orchid mods with wide chimneys and external juice flow adjustment.

But that deck looks quite good to me. Yiloong is the manufacturer; don't know who makes the clone on FT. It is 6 ml claimed. My typo.

External juice flow adjustment? Orchids?

Just found this on the UD Technology website:

News
UD Red Dragon Introduction2014-12-09
Designed in the structure of high-grade stainless steel, these atomizers adopt full copper in outer cap and thus stand out with user-friendly features including ultra-low resistance, delightful taste and convenient juice filling.


Red Dragon atomizers feature dual heat-insulation ,scald-proof ,internal high temperature as well as a delectable flavor. Each piece of these atomizers can be set up with 2 coils. The airholes are distinctively punched on the top of the atomizer instead of its’ side, this has greatly enhanced the taste and can simultaneously obviates overflowing of the juice. All these characteristics undoubtedly exemplify the Red Dragon serial’s conciseness.


Now, where's the picture? I'd like to see this one.

4 different builds and more tries at wicking than I can count in one week on my Goblin and my conclusion is it's a over hyped turd.
Shame to, because it's got looks and doesn't leak plus big air flow but it won't wick for shit.
Dry hits after two or three draws at anything over 20 watts. I've got single tube mechs that will dry it out.
It's probably ok for low power mouth to lungers, but for hard core straight lung hitters it ain't got it after a couple of pulls.

If you haven't given up on it yet, Trevor Jones has a good YouTube video on it. I've got it at 40 watts with 80vg juice and it's pretty consistent. If I increase watts or take super long pulls on it I'll start seeing dry hits but I think I found a good balance with it. It is a temperamental little bitch though.

I wicked it like Jones the first time and that was as close as I got with it, but it still couldn't keep up with me.
I bought a Billow at the same time and I can't out run or over power it no matter what build or how hard I hit it.
I hate to give up on the Goblin, but... I'll keep trying if I can put my Billow down long enough.

Been playing around with the goblin and trimming the wick really close didn't work well for me. Getting it barely into the channels I had no leaks, but then it would give dry hits. Just wicked again slightly further down the channels and the taste is amazing. But then I get a small leak somewhere. Might be out of the fill hole? Cut the wick even with the deck, put 2 drops of juice on each side and assembled. 26g 2mm 0.4ohm at 41 watts. 2.5mm is doable but hard to to not short on the top of the chimney.

I like this RTA a lot. Very finicky, but not a huge PITA to build on even with the deck being so small.

I'm actually not hearing too much hype on this. But then I don't usually see UD spending $$$ on advertising like Aspire, eleaf, Kanger, etc. I don't know, could be wrong. The one thing I never got was a dry hit. I had it on my SMPL and Dimitri. I'm trying to remember if I might have used 28g because of the deck. I need to take another look and build something different.

Oh. Will probably spring for a Subtank next time I travel. Hate taking RBA gear. o_O
That's what I've been doing. I put in 100+ miles per day and it comes with me. There's so much room I've poured juice straight out of the bottle into it.

Just got this tank today. Wicked it up similar to my orchids. I fit a dual 26 ga Nichrome build in there coming in at .4 ohms. No leaks. Crazy cloudage. Damn good flavor. I'm pretty impressed. I'm not going to say I've got this thing figured out yet because I had my orchid "figured out" my first build only to struggle with it for two weeks before I finally got it. So far so good though.

Alright, it's still the first build. The flavor was great. Then I slapped my stock orchid v4 back on the mod. Time will tell.

Youde's followup to Goblin is on it's way: Goliath.

Check out the deck. (No comment.)

Also interesting, the tank assembly, held together by the chimney, is attached to the base by the chamber threading, so you can rewick/rebuild with a full tank if you like. I assume there's some JFC with that construction though the description doesn't specify it.

Actually, I'm more amused than interested. The feature is not worth the added bulk and weight IMO. But that's just me.

I caught wind of this also. I like my tanks on the smaller side so I can guarantee I probably won't be buying this thing.

I like the bigger build space, I like that the air holes are elevated higher above the juice channels to reduce leaking.
I don't like two post set ups. Pain in the arse to trap all four coil legs at the same time while maintaining good alignment over the air holes.
