thanks for the review. very well made video ol chap. I'm curious if you noticed a mic hum that comes through off and on. your gain might be super juiced. one idea is to check connections I've noticed that sometimes they get dirty some rubbing alcohol and rags and q tips will take care of it. enjoy your channel I opened you have a super day. cheers
Just got back from my local shop with a black one. Have the OG in stainless and love it for my wide builds. Have to say out of the bag the orings on the deck are super tight and it shredded parts of them removing the barrel. Hope it gets better once I get some juice going.
Surprised you didn't mention about the airflow issue. There is a limit to how much you can close it off before the single coil slot encroaches on the opposite slot. And also you are limited to how much you can close it off in single coil mode.
If you have to close down the airflow past halfway on either single or dual, this probably isn't the RDA for you. Not a dig, just being honest. There are better RDAs out there if you want less airflow and/or better flavour.
FF MkII in terms of airflow I'll choose the CSMNT over this rda. Same airflow shape and better yet working perfectly however far you want to close it down.
I agree completely, just commenting that this is not the type of RDA you might try and squeeze a MTL out of. In saying that, it is silly, they obviously know how to construct a top cap that doesn't have this issue.
Whisp I have to disagree with the whole mtl statement. I have the tm2 and the og goon and I run them both with one hole open for a restricted lung hit. I don't think you should be able get a mtl draw from these rdas because I just simply don't think it would be a good vape, but I do think you should have more options than airy as fuck and pretty damn airy on all rdas
Nice one Dean. Watching that & vaping on mine, with Foo's Gold on big ass 22g coils at 90W. Air and clouds for.... yeah you know what I mean! Haven't tried it in Squonk mode yet, but I'll be putting it on the Drone shortly, I'm hoping for the dream setup for a bit of high wattage squonking.
I've had the original for a few months and I bought the V1.5 on a whim at Expo. Love it, love the looks, the way it vapes, everything. It's slightly better than the original, and that was good to start with. Nice review Dean.
Good review fella. Just out of curiosity what do you upload your videos in? 1080p? 720? I'm having a right bollocks of a time playing your videos for some reason starting in 480 and won't change up regardless of how many times I change the settings. Only your last 3 videos. Odd
Hi Dean...noticed that Blue mod you were using. I kinda liked the style and size...what is it ?? Is it a Squonker mod ?? I never owned a Goon but enjoyed the review...Have a good one !!!
Good review Dean I have seen another review on the !.5 saying there is a flaw on the air flow when you close the duel air flow off more than half it opens the single air flow up
thanks Dean! i love they added the dome to the top cap! i think i will hold out for the 22mm. from the vid it actually looks like the top cap/afc is a different grade of ss then the barrel. the barrel looks 304 while the top cap looks like 303 (of a lower grade 304).
Nice review, however I can't see much need to get this if you have the original goon. Is there any blind test or anything done that "proves" that domed top caps has better/more flavour. I hear reviewers mentioning it all the time but I'm a bit skeptical.. ;)
If you take the measurements there isn't any notable difference between the two. The space between the posts is bigger in the original goon then the V1. If you want a squonk get the pin for the original for less restrictive juice flow. The air flow is the biggest difference in the two, better on the V1.5.
I've got a clone and there's absolutely no difference just by looking at the rda. the writing is smaller on the bag though. I got it for 5 bucks which is a no brainer to me 5 vs 60
Grant Mckenzie I know it's probably thicker and made of better quality metal but I'm happy with it. I was just letting people know in case a poor person like me wanted one lol
Maddoxx x you are right, the screws are shorter on the clone, I'm in the search for so.e longer ones now. as for the airflow it does look smaller but it still has way too much I only use half lol.
Why GOON Doesn't have "scratch and Check" system like other brand? They should realize that people will be difficult to realize when they get clone product
I was desperate for one when I saw they were coming out, unfortunately no solid brass and I've seen a lot of the paint coming off when being cleaned. Come on 528! Bring out a solid brass and you can have my money!
I love your reviews mate but i be honest with you i really suprised you don't mention the airflow "problem" for me this is slapy job from 528 Customs......... sucks.
The V1.5 is soooo good looking and performs like a beast!
One of The Top reviews,thank you Deano. " Now then."

Not about your vid... but condolences for your loss... sending hugs and🙏🙏🙏... it's just like losing a member of your family...💙

Whisp , people should have the choice to close down airflow as much as they want though, no? Personally it doesn't affect me.

just ordered one I love my v1 goons
the flavour on the new goon is absolutely amazing compare to the old goon....that dome cap is definitely magical.
How's it fare on a squonker?
George Smith pretty damn good in my opinion
Going great as a squonker for me
It’s ok, about average. Pulse 22 and the peerless are the best squonking rdas out there.
Great review and keep it up Dean.

beast of an rda!! love mine!
My goon22 came in an embroidered bag.. best all around atty I have! I use a drip tip from a 1.5 on it though... Heats up much less
Which is better clone or Og?
just ordered the black one, hi from west virginia!
Hi Dean...noticed that Blue mod you were using. I kinda liked the style and size...what is it ?? Is it a Squonker mod ?? I never owned a Goon but enjoyed the review...Have a good one !!!
Mark Elkins it's a boxer squonk mod
Gulb180 rebel mod
You should do a review on the squonk feature
Good review Dean I have seen another review on the !.5 saying there is a flaw on the air flow when you close the duel air flow off more than half it opens the single air flow up
thank you for the review !
thanks Dean! i love they added the dome to the top cap! i think i will hold out for the 22mm. from the vid it actually looks like the top cap/afc is a different grade of ss then the barrel. the barrel looks 304 while the top cap looks like 303 (of a lower grade 304).
My only disappointment with the v1.5 is 528 didn't keep the bevels on the clamps
Love the build deck
Should have mentioned the flaws of the airflow control, Dean. But nonetheless, keep up the good work. Cheers
Nice review, however I can't see much need to get this if you have the original goon.
Is there any blind test or anything done that "proves" that domed top caps has better/more flavour. I hear reviewers mentioning it all the time but I'm a bit skeptical.. ;)
tested it...its indeed difference on the flavour
nice build
there's no way that build ohms out to 0.20 ohms. you said it was 22 gage with an inner diameter of 4mm. I counted 9 wraps. please explain.
316L
If you take the measurements there isn't any notable difference between the two. The space between the posts is bigger in the original goon then the V1. If you want a squonk get the pin for the original for less restrictive juice flow. The air flow is the biggest difference in the two, better on the V1.5.
the dome cap is making a big difference on both goon...it taste alot better for flavour junkies.
going to order one Monday for subzero shorty. nice review!
yes i love the 1.5 i think the og was so good that ppl have such high expectations n r jus lookin for sumtin to bitch about
looks like a sick rda
Other good review. The top of barrel looks kinda rough on yours.
I've got a clone and there's absolutely no difference just by looking at the rda. the writing is smaller on the bag though. I got it for 5 bucks which is a no brainer to me 5 vs 60
Jared Garrett built quality will be massively different
Grant Mckenzie I know it's probably thicker and made of better quality metal but I'm happy with it. I was just letting people know in case a poor person like me wanted one lol
the airflow width size is different tho and the post on the original is taller as well.
Maddoxx x you are right, the screws are shorter on the clone, I'm in the search for so.e longer ones now. as for the airflow it does look smaller but it still has way too much I only use half lol.
Bought the clone after comparing it to the "Authentic" £15 and you can't tell them apart!.
Why GOON Doesn't have "scratch and Check" system like other brand? They should realize that people will be difficult to realize when they get clone product
No idea
I was desperate for one when I saw they were coming out, unfortunately no solid brass and I've seen a lot of the paint coming off when being cleaned. Come on 528! Bring out a solid brass and you can have my money!
i owned the brass g1.5 and i dont see any paint coming off from it.
Hi Dean a great review
I love your reviews mate but i be honest with you i really suprised you don't mention the airflow "problem" for me this is slapy job from 528 Customs......... sucks.
Did you read the description?
I m very sorry biker i read it now. my apologies to you.
kitty cat logo thoooo. (step down on the drip tip may make it easier to remove?)
I want a rebel so bad lol but that shit is expensive
Love to vlogs keep up the good work
There is a airflow issue with this.slots are to long,will struggle in single coil,and carnt close them down to much without opening the other side
I'll stick to my V1s.
Terkish blend is Awesome! As for the Goon, I'll stick with the original.
Woohoo!
The LPGOON sucks. The original is great if you like a lot of airflow.
This is garbage, the v1 was better but not all it’s hyped up to. The machining and tolerances on this are an absolute joke, money grab.
I own 2 goon 1.5 I love them and Dean you can buy m.terk Turkish blend from facebook.com/vaperizzo
how do you compare this to a skill RDA ?
