GeekVape Griffin RTA - Review

[jtc]

Got mine from here but out of stock right now so I've ordered a silver from Fasttech for now

Try code MAP at FastTech

I quite like the idea of that ring to hold your wick because I always think has my wick moved when I'm screwing the base back on.

[jtc]

Yeah it does help slightly
Definitely the best RTA I've owned to date

Any excuse to try out my new phone, I'll pop some photos of my Griffin up later - I bought some Geekvape Clapton coils at the same time, and have put two of these in, showing at .42ohm, and at 45w it works really well. Top fill is faultless, nice big slots to get most types of dripper caps into, and the juice flow is a nice bonus (although I have to admit to not noticing it at first and couldn't work out why I was getting dry hits all the time!).

[jtc]

Yeah I find the juice flow slightly harder to see if it's open properly than the crius but that just being picky

[minime]

Ye stop being picky lol.

[jtc]

Ahahahahahaha I just pulled out a big long bogey
Started with a crusty bit and had a long green tail

Got my hands on it last night
Ive been up most the night playing with ss in tc on the griffin and crius.
You know what
Ive decided I'm going back to kanthal and can't be asked with tc anymore.
Anyway the griffin
Yes I like it a lot.
It feels better made than the crius to me and I like that the post holes aren't all the way through and the 510 pin is threaded rather than press fitted.
Ive actually had the top fill section of the crius pop off in my hand due to press fitting.
The griffin doesn't have that problem and I think the general construction is better and it has a larger deck.
The wide drip tip is great. It has a low profile, looks good and just feels perfik.
Airflow is nice and smooth and flavour seems on point to me.
It looks smart and I've experienced zero leakage.
My only negative is if you screw the top fill fill cap on too tight then it's possible to unscrew the chimney upon refilling but lesson learned and I'm careful not to.
I'm running a 0.36 ohm 3mm ID kanthal build at 45w and it's perfect right now.
I'm very happy and have ordered another

Sod it!! Sorry, you'll all have to turn your laptops through 90 degrees, or likewise turn your heads (unless JazzyJ can work some magic again!). I'll need to suss this out before I clutter up this forum with any more lopsided photos

Thanks JazzyJ - could you please let me know how you do this so I don't fall foul of it again? The only way I could think of is to download the photo and then re-post it after rotating - is this what you've done?

[jtc]

It is spinning quite loosely now I've been using it a bit
I hope there isn't going to be a problem?
Cheers jazzy

Correct, or if the person posting edits it prior to posting ????
I open up the image on my iPhone

Then if you look across the bottom you will see edit?

If you hit the edit button it brings it up like this^^^^^


Then you can see the rotate left button,

Just keep hitting the rotate button until it's how you want it,
