Goblin Mini V2

The Goblin Mini was a real world class RTA...but beset by a few minor issues. Does the Goblin Mini V2 iron these out and make for the ultimate RTA?

Version one of the Goblin Mini was almost the perfect RTA, with an easy four post build deck, single and dual coil options, outstanding flavour and cloud production almost on par with an RDA all available at a budget friendly price. However there were a couple of minor issues with it, such as the non standard drip tip fitting and the fiddly bottom fill screw. Thankfully, the minor niggles present with the Goblin Mini V1 have been ironed out, with the introduction of a really superb top fill system and a 510 drip tip fitting, allowing you to use your favourite drip tip if the supplied ones aren't to your taste. The build deck is also ever so slightly bigger, giving you a little more wiggle room with your builds, and the silver plated 510 connector pin has been swapped out for a gold plated version, for better conductivity. These minor tweaks have really made for a truly fantastic RTA, and one now that has become my day to day tank.

I've always rated the Goblin tanks as one of the few that can rub shoulders with many an RDA, and the Goblin Mini V2 offers clouds and flavour in abundance. With single or dual coil options it caters for both mouth to lung and direct lung hitters, it performs just as well at high or low wattage, and it never compromises on performance. For the first time with a Goblin as well, I've not yet experienced any leakage, which may be due to the slight tweaks Youde have made to the build deck. The airflow control system, although not perfect, functions extremely well and can now be adjusted from either side of the tank.

If you are looking for a tank that can compete with an RDA, that's available at a fantastic price and when wicked correctly, does not leak, the Goblin Mini V2 will appeal to you greatly. It's a very versatile unit that offers top performance, great build quality at a low cost. The Goblin Mini V2 may be small in size, but this small package is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to budget RTAs!
