Is my Goblin Mini leaking because...

[Trotters]

Ive wicked it wrong or because I'm relying on a rubber O-ring to keep the tank together?

Watched videos on re-wicking it, Ive done it 3 times now & it still leaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check for missing O rings first, one may have fallen out. Next check for snagged up or ill fitting O rings, third use more cotton referencing YT videos.

I've got the v2 and it leaks if it's not wicked properly, I also found muji cotton wasn't the best either, bacon v2 does the trick

Exactly where is it leaking. Is it from the base/airflow slots, or from the base/glass area ?

This method works for GM wicking.

Well, ive just left it on my windowsill & it isn't leaking. It seems to leak when I'm firing it.

I would assume the angle your holding it is allowing air to get in and affecting the pressure, possibly due to the amount of cotton, lack of, in the channel.
can you upload a photo of your wicking in side profile so we can advise further?

If its the V1, the air holes on the deck havent got any 'walls' surrounding the holes. Just check the wick isnt sitting on/in the holes, very easy to leak through them if they are. If it still leaks try rewicking with a little more cotton.

If the base of the tank, and the 510 on the mod are wet, there's not enough wick to stop the juice leaking though the air slots, if the tank is wet round the sides, it's a problem with the seals. The Goblin mini, and V1 Zephyrus rba deck where known to be really picky about wicking, they had to be bang on, or you had dry hits, or they pissed juice everywhere.
I'd suggest buying a V3 goblin mini, if for no other reason that you won't have to deal with that bloody tiny fill screw on the V1 ! lol UD have changed/improved the deck.

The V3 only has a 16mm deck, how hard would that be to work with? Sooooooooooo tiny
