Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Youde (UD) is a Chinese manufacturer exclusively producing vape equipment. An original brand never (or almost) copied by its colleagues, up to the Goblin Mini which attracts greed, business is business and in this area ethics between compatriots does not weigh very heavily.
Youde advances serenely in his creations and the products that the brand offers, what a long way since the AGI which already in its time combined a dripper and a genesis for the same model.
Concerned about the quality of its products, Youde packages them with care and never fails to provide consumable accessories as well as an explanatory leaflet, sometimes summary it is true.
As a general rule, the prices charged are very affordable given the originality and the finish provided, the Goblin Mini is sold in France for around € 30.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The “Form factor proposed by the protocol (Kayfun / Russian) is the one that differs the least from the Goblin Mini, but the latter is incomparably smaller, and much simpler in design.
The supplied kit includes 2 tanks, 2 drip tips, all 2 in pyrex. An adapter for 510 drip tip is also provided as the original only fits Mini Goblin.

Goblin Mini UD original
The O-rings (sealing of the Top cap / bottom cap / tank connections) in silicone are profiled (circular rebate) and will be mounted thin part towards the tank. The plate is narrow: 13 mm at its base but its 4 studs allow relatively easy DC mounting (I even saw some in QC!).
An air flow and juice supply shutter (supplied) also allows SC mounting and adapts very easily to the plate (clipping).
With its 40mm (ato + its drip tip) and around 3 grams it is currently probably the smallest XNUMXml RTA on the market.

  • Heat dissipation of the product: Normal

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The assembly is carried out through holes made on the studs (2 lateral negatives shifted downwards, and 2 central positives shifted upwards) of 1,2mm diameter through which your resistives will pass that you will block by the screws (head cruciform) located at the top of the studs. The staggered double coil assembly (left negative with right positive) if it is more practical to center above the vent, however less so to cut the unused "tab" coming out of the positive pad on the coil side already mounted.

Mini Goblin DC
The length of the capillary must not exceed the diameter of the plate, it will be curved in each vertical channel on either side of the coil, "hollowed out" in the same thread hosting the combustion chamber, this operation can be carried out after the installation of the ring (combustion chamber) you will take care to screw it, the whiskers of the coil raised so as not to interfere with its screwing, then you will fold them back to the place provided without tamping them.

Mini Goblin DC cotton
A final tip for your assembly, the proximity to the wall of the chamber gives a decisive aspect (short circuit) to the centering of the coils, a coil diameter of 3mm makes this operation delicate, at 2 mm it's all good. Also make sure to leave a good 2 mm in height from the worktable to allow good vapor formation and air intake.
The filling is carried out from below by unscrewing a screw (flat head) equipped with a micro seal, it is duplicated in the bag of spare parts as well as its seal.
The AFC located under the tray is adjusted by means of a tab which protrudes slightly and which can be operated, the atomizer mounted flush.

4 parts constitute the general assembly: the extended top cap of the chimney, the plate (bottom cap) the ring (heating chamber) and the tank. Simplicity and efficiency are essential for this Goblin Mini.

  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vapoteur can immediately use the product after mounting the / coil
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Short
  • Quality of the drip-tip present: Very good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

The proprietary pyrex drip tip (supplied in duplicate) is 15mm long and only protrudes 10mm from the top cap once inserted. Its thickness is 1,5mm for a useful internal diameter of 7mm. Perfect for use in ULR because it heats very little. It tends to float a bit in its home after a few minutes of use ...
A 2,5mm thick ring adapter for 17mm in diameter allows you to use a 510 drip tip at your convenience.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The square black cardboard box (68 X 37,5 mm) bearing the effigy of the manufacturer bears the name of the ato in shiny silver letters. "Sealing" the cover you will find a label with security number as well as serial. On the back of the box are the coordinates of the site: http://www.yourcig.com/. The interior, lined with black “velvet”, is perfectly designed to protect the various components of the kit. As usual, UD has designed a package intended for export and potentially subject to the vagaries of various carriers, promoting the protection of the equipment without neglecting the visual aspect.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 3.5 / 5 3.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

With such a narrow plate, the DC assembly can be tricky for neophytes, the single coil option will then be the easiest to achieve. Opt for cotton or Fiber Freaks 1 or 2 for your hairline. The tightening of wires with a cross section of less than 0,30mm must not be excessive, otherwise they will be "guillotined"

The stainless steel resistance retaining screws are very small, like the filling screw, it would be better to operate on a work surface so as not to risk losing them. Two screwdrivers (not supplied) will be necessary, a cruciform (mini) for assembly and a thin flat for filling.
The latter is carried out with the vents open to the maximum, with the fine tips generally present on the flasks, it does not pose a problem, ditto with the pipettes.
Cleaning with not too hot water + baking soda overnight is successful, if you do not forget to remove all the gaskets and unscrew the filling screw as well as leave the vents open. For your coils, the classic dry burn before cleaning will be effective in burning deposits.
No leaks detected although in ULR, a slight condensation stagnates under the plate at the level of the flat periphery where the shutters pass regulating the air flow, nothing very alarming however.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

The success helping UD now offers tanks and colored drip tips, to combine the useful with the pleasant and not to swear with the color of your eyes ladies, or your lipstick or ... in short, that you will adapt to your convenience.Goblin Mini UD cloggers tank drip tipThis Mini Goblin is a pure marvel, it competes for rendering with drippers, it is small but contains 3 good hours of quiet vape, it can be mounted as you wish until Quad Coil for the most geeky among us , it heats only moderately even at 0,3 ohm, you can adapt any drip tip or use the original, the kit offers you an additional tank and drip tip, and the now classic spare parts , all this for 30 €!
It's what I call a super good plan, it's Youde, and it's not to be missed.

You will just have to tame the assembly but for that I trust you, it is just a question of adaptation (and of view) I have succeeded there is to say if it should not be a concern for many 'between you.

Tell us about your experience, it will be useful for the undecided, and perhaps correct the always possible errors that I would have let pass in this modest review.
Thanks for reading me.
See you soon.
