Goblin/Silverplay Wicking Issues

XVapeX · Mar 2, 2015

I always see reviewers on youtube vaping these tanks and get huge clouds however I never can seem to replicate I trim Japanese Cotton to the base on Goblin and to the notches on the Silverplay and I can take no longer than 2-3 second pulls on it without getting that tell tale feel of a Pre burnt hit (followed by hiss) Can anyone help me out and give some advice on wicking these tanks?

They can be a little tricky. I have the Silverplay. If you are getting dry hits it is probably too much cotton. Try making your wicks a little thinner.

I have a goblin and it was hard at first to find a good balance for wick. I cut mine at the base and tuck cotton barely like 1-2 mm in the juice channels. Trim a little on top and tuck in excess. Visually it looks like there's not enough cotton in there but you want it to balloon up. It doesn't leak and I get zero dry hits that way. I'm also chain vape to the point the RTA is too hot to touch hehe.

Depend on the juice viscosity. A light juice more cotton trimmed to the base of build deck. Like able to tightly pull through coils. Thicker juice, same trim but lighter pull it that makes sense.

I've been running high vg through mine with no issues at .4 and .5 ohms. I trim even with the deck and let a small strand go into the channel. That has seemed to help with flavor. Clouds are big. I'm planning on doing identical builds and putting my orchids against the goblin as soon as I get some time.

Thank you all for your responses I am going to try and thin my cotton a bit to make it less tight through coil. Maybe I am choking it.

Too much cotton is probably the reason for the dry hits. You'll see rather quick, when you use too little. It will leak through the air holes on both of them, as soon as you start vaping. Don't ask how I know.

I sold my Goblin for this and also because the build space is to tight.
I've wicked a bunch of different tanks over time but the Goblin was way to finicky.

I'm selling everything except my Goblin's .

- oh!, but not my sxmini..

I've had a goblin coming on a month now. The first couple days were really rough, a lot of dry burns. So I used way less cotton to the point I didn't think it would wick properly. Next thing I know it was night and day. For the last 3 weeks I've been using only max VG and not a dry hit even on chain vaping. I do have to admit it was infuriating those first couple of days hehe.

I agree it had a learning curve building but I am really enjoying the Gobbie. I am using Japanese cotton and I just cut a strip and peel off off the first layer on each side and trim it up really good just to have it in the juice channel half way down and it's very flavorful vape at 1.0ohms 25w using 28g, I would compare the flavor to a squape. Gobbie does get hot if you chain vape it

I really dig the air on this

So far, it was easier for me to get the wicking right on my Silverplay. I have two Goblin that I wicked the same day. I thought I've been using the same amount of cotton and trimmed it the same way. However, one has a slight tendency for dry hits, the other one is perfect. I'm Using a 80VG/20PG juice on all of them. I guess, I'll keep on practicing.

Once you get then figured out they run good. Keep at it.
