First thoughts on the Geekvape Griffin

it is valid for all except the
deal section Deals - Cvapor.com

Unfortunately for you the rx200 is on the deal page :disappointed:

Being $45+ is not much of a deal I just got to say it again, How Rude !!! Thanks for filling me in though !!!

They say the original price is $99, I’ve seen that price on other websites but nobody sells it for that price. Heck, if you have to pay that much for it you might as wel get the DNA version.

Agreed !!! VapeNW has it for $39.95. Tempting but being I can pay just $2 more and pick it up locally, I will most likely do that. Now had that coupon worked I would have given it a go for around $35ish. Oh well, better luck next time. By the way, the Aromamizer is $19.99 on VapeNW for anyone interested…

I’ve been holding out for a V2; give it a couple of months and I’m fairly sure there’ll be one. I’m hoping they’ll make the next one with a, flush to the tank, SS airflow ring…:smirk:

@Joya said on the Vape Mail thread that she thinks the ones she got for 19.95 on VapeNW were clones.

Ordered mine on the 22nd but have to wait as I’m in the uk. Bummer :weary:

Love this version but will be watching for the v2 just for the air flow ring fitted to the tank.

If you’re talking about the Aromamizer… they are authentic… I have 2 new black ones and I checked them both.

I’ve only placed 2 orders from VapeNW and I’ve had no problems so far. 4 tanks total and they were all authentic.

Glad the Griffin is looking like a winner.I should have two by the first of the week.
I picked up five Aromamizers from VapeNW after PV posted about the 19.99 price.All were authentic.

I would order one, but I’m not liking the rubber band air control. :unamused:

I just checked both of mine and they are authentic as well.

I have ordered several times from VapeNW and never had any problems with them and they have been very fast on shipping.

Couple of Griffin notes:

After you’ve washed this thing good and your reassembling the tank section, make sure you really tighten down on those three parts.

Reason being: When adjusting your juice flow, if these parts are loosely fitted together, you could wind up unscrewing the tank parts and dumping your juice. Almost happened to me. :scream:

Might want to really lube up the top cap O-rings with juice or other lubricant; I use chap stick to make parts glide better.

Reason being: If the top cap doesn’t unscrew smoothly, it can wind up turning the whole tank or just the top portion of the tank. This portion of the tank also screws into the chimney portion. Once again, if you’re not paying attention…splooge goes the juice onto the deck or into the chimney section. :pensive:

One of the best points about the Griffin: You can easily close off the juice flow! This is paramount when refilling the tank! If the juice flow is closed off when refilling the tank…upon screwing the top cap back on the tank, no juice is forced into the juice channels due to the downward pressure of the top cap sealing the unit.

This is the first RTA I’ve owned where top filling actually works without forcing juice into the juice channels and then juice splooges down through the air intake holes!

Wicking: Tails of the wicks rest at the top of the juice channel…nuff said. You can use the wick ring or not, doesn’t matter; I found using the wick ring helps me lay down the wick ends to the top of the juice channels. In the end, remember, the less wick the better…better juice flow and fewer dry hits, if you are a rapid draw vaper.

The Griffin is definitely a lung hitters dream RTA. I think my Billow V2’s have met their nemesis.:smiling_imp:…but in an awesome fashion! :sunglasses:

Excellent points there, Jim, and well worded…sure to prevent mishaps…
Did you have problems with that wick ring getting stuck in the coil barrel? Or was that a me exclusive problem that could have been avoided with less excitement and haste? Lol…

The wick ring does have a tendency to back off when one is removing the deck from the tank; much like the coil shroud on the Billow V2 can at times. Mine hasn’t jammed up into the chimney yet…we’ll see. :smirk:

A question about rinsing the tank before first use… What is your method?

Depending on how icky the piece is… Tooth brush scrub w/ dish soap in hot water or any old alcohol; a safe grease cutting agent. This, followed by a bath in distilled water.

I use very hot water with dish soap followed by hot water bath rinse… But I dunk the other rings in ice water after final hot rinse. I have read that some use the ultra sonic but that’s still on my wish list :wink:

I might try soaking in 93% alcohol as I have that.

I scrub every bit with dish soap and a toothbrush or bottle brush, then rinse thoroughly in really hot water a couple of times. So far, no major issues.
