A big Thank You to @Aspiretina :inlove: my prize from a contest here on VU. The Aspire Mulus AIO.

Using the pre-installed Aspire Nautilus 2S Mesh Coil .70 ohms @ 20 watts the airflow is adjustable with the Nautilus coils. Really nice restricted DL. Flavor is quite good! Really lightweight, 510 driptip compatiable.

Now if Aspire will make a RBA this would be a all around winner!

Thanks! Such a shame no rba I asked @Aspiretina & she said they had no plans for an rba but would pass my suggestion on. YouTube reviewers vids also said the same thing.

I think at this point they should all be coming with RBA's. I mean yes, it cuts into their sales but people will always still buy the pre-made coils for the convenience.

Yeah I dunno... there is some nasty voltage drop in the atty... really think its the 510 pin...

To me, Love the clamps... but the performance isn't there. Now how significant really is 3.81v to 3.58v = 97w vs 85w same build coil... ran out of 27 gauge to make some a little lower in ohms... but one read .15 vs .14 and I bet they are more like .153 and .146... Terk V2 needs slightly longer legs than the Goon.


Will update with pics...

Terk with 2.26.40 3mm 5 wrap N80

Goon with same coil

Goon fresh 30T 4.19V

Terk fresh 30T 4.20v

Might look to see if I have a 510 pin to replace the one the Terk came with

and I get .14Ω vs .15Ω there will be a variation of voltage... but the Terk had the higher Ωs which should reduce the voltage sag just a lil more than .14 ;)

search through my bin for a 510 lol

sadly no 510 pin I have fits the Terk...

Anyone looking for a Stainless and also a Matte Black Terk V2... 2 for the price of one ;) LOL

So the terk v2 is shit. Sucks cuz it looks nice. But voltage drop is for the birds. You think people could figure out how to make an rda that has minimal drop. But nope. Like fuck it man it looks great. No matter if using it gives the vape of a dead battery

Will be the perfect RDA for a regulated, but on a mech... yeah its shit performance wise.


EDIT: Guess my hunt for a Goon 1.5 deck is on... or a rescue kits for the Goon V1 ;)

I placed a FT order on 10/29- already shipped.
My other FT ordered around 10/3 and I got it yesterday 10/29, they had a holiday a few weeks ago and China was shut down for a week.
Hopefully all our FT orders come quickly!

Is this the one? I can never tell the difference of all the goons made

That's the Original goon like I have... but your clamps don't have the beveled edges like mine...

The Goon 1.5 Deck fits the caps of the original goon ... which those clamps are a much needed upgrade over the V1...

Odds are I'll end up with the 1.5 deck, build it, and it will have awful voltage drop compared to the v1 LOL

So I did a little surgery on the Terk... I broke it down and polished the clamps a little on the under side... wanted to polish the posts also where they sandwich with the clamps, but I couldn't find my 10k diamond files, or my micro mesh pads... probably in one of the boxes in my closet during the move... ended up using my knife sharpening stone... anyhoo

Just the under side of the clamps the voltage moved up to 3.69v from 3.58v... there is promise to be had...

I'll update after I find the files and do a proper polishing on the posts...

Not really, just pointing out that another member was selling a couple because I think Don just needs the deck. Cheaper than new

Thx!

Going to give the Terk a full on diamond file job...just have to dig through some boxes...

Really thinking the PVD coating they put on the Terk is causing the voltage loss... just taking off the small amount from the clamp upped the voltage by .11, if a polish of the posts and clamps ups it another .12 I can live with that.

3.58+.23= the Goon

I have a couple authentic stainless 1.5s. Both in excellent condition, one only built on once. I'd be willing to trade one for something I don't have.

Thank you... I pm'd Tall Pines if he/she would be kind enough to do an experiment for me and see if the 1.5s Post/Clamps fit in the V1 base... if they do, I'll more than likely go that route...

528 has rescue kits available for $5 plus shipping... but don't have the 1.5s kit... would of bought both and gave it a go.


Really thinking I am either going to stick with the Goon V1 forever... or have to buy a comp deck from one of those companies like CompLyfe etc... I am 0 for 3 with Twisted Messes mfg'd RDAs... 2x Terks 1 Occula for being poop.

I think the post screws on the 1.5 and newer Goons are longer the the v1.

Sucks that it isn't working out for you. I love mine. Been using it on a comp lyfe hk25 and it's one of if not the hardiest hitting combo I have.

I know the screws are longer ;) I was more referencing if both posts are interchangeable... Tall Pines said the clamps and screws/caps are interchangeable... but would check if the posts are later today.


As for the Terk... It's been a huge let down thus far... but still looking for my files and micro mesh... probably in the garage haha... then I will strip that PVD coating off the posts.


Really surprised that two are exactly the same in performance, although the stainless sits better over the deck than the matte black one.

Hard to deny voltage drop read by a dmm on its performance though.


Can only imagine if you think yours is hitting hard now if you chose to file off the PVD coating on the posts if your thoughts would be different; since I gained .11v from just filing the coating off bottom of the clamps. 6.5w is noticeable... just really hoping to gain at least another .10v when I finally find my files lol

Sometimes logic fails me. My wife is mostly Vulcan and has sucked out any Vulcan I had in me.

It could also be that I'm not as sensitive to the differences. To be fair, I also haven't put new coils in it since June. When I bought mine I bought it directly from Terk at the Houston vape expo and it was loaded with coils and cotton. I've changed the cotton and cleaned the coils but nothing else. The coils are still in great shape. I did buy a few more sets of his coils at the time of purchase figuring to keep Terk coils in the Terk RDA.

SJMY Timekeeper from FT arrived today. Delivery time not too shabby - I placed the order on Oct 19, so 12 days altogether.

Wow have mech tubes ever changed! Still don't know how to get all the little seams in the metal to meet and screw completely closed - 510 pin on this Goon clone I put on it is a tad too long, I guess, but the vape on this combination is great so I'm leaving it. Might be able to take the switch apart and adjust it, but seeing the seams a little bit isn't bothering me that bad, although in time, it may.

The firing button on this mod is great. I'm shocked, epecially for the price. It's nice!

It just occurred to me - y'all probably file the 510s down to make everything fit properly. ????
