there's a whole thread dedicated to it just about 7 posts down from this post (at the time of posting). Lots of good info and not too long. And another with 70 pages.

Geekvape Griffin 25 RTA

Geekvape Griffin RTA!



It's basically an Aromamizer rdta, and also basically identical to the vaporesso Gemini, except the Gemini has an exclusive air hole system in the center of the build deck and it has top air flow (which some don't even care for though) but I ended up ordereing the Gemini (didn't get it yet nor have the right mod or wire to really use it yet).

More specs comparing these three in this thread I just made comparing it to a TFV8

Likely Buying a Vaporesso Gemini RTA. Need a TFV8 also?

also





the Gemini might not include the plastic insert to make it only a single coil tank. I don't like plastic in my tank though or whatever it's made of in case it leaches or anything so I'm going to do dual builds with Gemini anyway.

I'm glad you asked smacksy as I was just about to search the forums on that subject, I'm also interested in getting one and wanted to get some background on it.Thanks for the links Vapesmooth123:headbang:
I own two 22mm Griffin RTAs already..they vape great but I have to refill them often..the 25 suppose to have a bigger 6ml tank plus a bigger deck..just haven't read many reviews on it yet..BTW I think VapeNW has them in stock for like $26 or $28..can't remember which, lol

I saw a review (mike vapes) he was questioning the capacity room of them 5ml/6.2.... either or I like the look, single coil option, deck size. I also saw some in stock at Sweet-Vapes, they are close to me and shipping is like 2 days.

Are you going to order one?
I think I will..from VapeNW because I've ordered from them before...I got my CC hacked right after I ordered from SweetVapes last year and haven't ordered anything from them since..Just sayin, lol

Just pulled the trigger and ordered. Hopefully my luck doesn't run out on me, I have been ordering from there for over a year and so far so good....

I won one in a HeavenGifts contest not too long ago. I REALLY LIKE this thing. Mine does have the top AFC, but I tend to keep it closed. I'm not crazy about the wide-bore tip (and I haven't found any adapters yet), but it still sees use about once a week or so.

For building, LOVE the velocity-style deck. Wicking, I'm using Shiseido cotton. Make sure not to over-stuff the juice channels. I just barely get the tails in the channels. There is a ceramic block, if you only want to build one coil. I'm running dual claptons, about 0.5Ω. I don't crank it terribly high (don't like super-warm vapes in general) I'm pretty much a "middle-of-the-road" vaper - not too tight of a draw, but I'm not going to fill a room with klowdz.

I do get a teensy bit of "oozing" around the bottom AFC, and the only time it really leaked on me was my first build, when I didn't have the juice channel thing figured out yet. Since then, it's been rewicked maybe a half dozen times. Have yet to put another build in it.

I'm not displeased in the least.

{get one........ dooooooooo eeeeeeeeet}

What kind of coils are you using in it?

I've been running dual 24g Nichrome in my 22mm Griff..
Might run the same when the 25 gets here..Its like 8 wraps on a 3mm bit at around 0.20 ohms..vapes pretty good at 65-70w on my RX200..organic cotton wicks fast and good flavor.. Getting the 25 for the bigger 6ml tank..hope I like it, lol

The Griffin 25 is pretty much the RTA I've decided to wed my vaping future to, as Aug 8 draws near. I've got about 6 of them, and some spare parts and tanks. I love mine, except on those occasions when I forget to close off the juice control before refilling. Then it's a predictable mess. Otherwise, I haven't had many leaking issues, just some mild residue now and again. Running some pre-built dual Kanthals, about .4 ohms, only about 35 watts on my Fuchai 213.

Just got an Aromamizer Supreme today, just to see how it stacks up.
