So times are a bit tough right now, but Im always looking to fill out my collection for rotations. I can get 1 new tank right now.

I was thinking either the Aromamizer Supreme, Griffin 25 with top airflow, and normal griffin (would be a 2nd one)

The last couple of months, I have been using my regular Griffin exclusively. Easy to build on, easy to wick. Good airflow and flavor for me. But I hate the juice flow holes dont line up perfectly and I get the occasional leaking through the airflow ring (not from poor wicking, it just seeps through)

The past week, i revisited my aromamizer. Wicking I dont care for, and the airflow holes dont line up good (one hits, other hits the post). But I love the 6ml capacity and the flavor. I also run it tipless.

So i was thinking of giving the 3 named in the topic a shot provided:
1- Does the aromamizer supreme fix the airflow lineup issues?
2- Do the new batches of the regular griffin address the juiceflow hole issues and slight seepage via the airflow ring?
3- How much easier is the deck to build out of all 3?
4- Flavor among all 3?
5- Griffin 25; with or without top airflow?

I am open to suggestions to another tank. But it would have to compete with the regular Griffin as a minimum.

Boreas beats Aromamizer Supreme. Also consider the Vaporesso Gemini Mega, the Billow V3 Plus, or the Crius Plus.

Boreas looks interesting

Gemini Mega also looks nice. Like the griffin, with added airflow from the center post. Does the top airflow circulate down the shaft? or is it just in the driptip ala smok TFV4?

Billow doesnt really do it for me..
Crius reminds me of the Reaper plus, didnt like that. Although it does have a bigger build deck.

I have both the Boreas and the Aromamizer. I know that there are rabid fanboys in both camps. The air on the Boreas is MUCH better. The juice control on the Aromamizer is easier to understand, but not really any better. The deck on the Boreas is larger, and there are two decks - one for thicker e-liquids and one for thinner, or one for higher wattage builds and one for lower - included. The drip tip included with the Aromamizer is garbage.

The Gemini top air does come in the top and go to the coils a la Herakles Plus.

Funny you should compare the Crius Plus to the Reaper. The original Crius was the top fill, velocity decked RTA that kinda started the RTA race.

Stop being a party pooper!.

Just received a shiny new Aromamizer 3ml today! :D

I've got the 6 ml v1 and the 7 ml supreme. I took a pass on the v2 as the only change I saw was the airflow control...

I'm just messing with you.

Appreciate your opinions and will keep them in mind if I choose
to obtain any of the other Steam Crave tanks in the future.

I know... not worried... I like the Aromamizer line... I just think the Boreas edges it out...

I have both the Aromamizer Supreme and the Boreas. I love them both, but I give the edge to the Aromamizer. They both have huge decks to build on and the air flow lines up perfectly with the coils on both. The Boreas holds 1ml more than the Aromamizer and has a little more air flow. It's also better looking and more sleek, but that's the problem for me. It has no grips on the top cap, bottom cap or air flow control. It's difficult to fill because the top cap is nearly impossible to remove for refilling unless you don't tighten it all the way. (the more recent ones now have some notches on the top cap because of this issue) The combination juice flow/air flow control is harder to adjust since you can't get a grip on it. I prefer a separate juice flow control as well so I can adjust them separately as needed. When it comes to filling the Aromamizer is much easier to do because I don't have to flip it upside down before opening the juice flow/air flow controls.

Don't get me wrong, I love them both, but I find the Aromamizer easier to work with when it comes to refilling and adjusting juice/air flow controls.

1. Yes
2. don't know
3. they are all equally easy IMO, just depends on what kind of build you want to throw in there, ofc bigger the deck crazier you can go
4. I can only compare the griffin 22 to the supreme. Supreme wins IMHO
5. I would opt with b/c if you want it, its there and you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

Supreme > Griffin, just my humble opinion except pocketability. Not that the supreme leaks, its how these RDTAs are designed. I'm pretty a*al about sticky pockets so even a tiny bit of condensation is a no go for pocketing. Supreme is just a wetter tank.

Have the Griffin 25 and Aromamizer. Can see the juice holes on the Griffin although the black one is not too easy but the Aromamizer has a much better setting it to hash marks for precise setting. Broke a glass on the Aromamizer by ultrasonic cleaning it. I probably cleaned in too long as five minutes is plenty. Flavor a little better on the Aromamizer.
I guess the Griffin 25 as it leaks less after you get the wicking figured out and has a plastic drip tip. I like and use both.
Need some major design changes to all the tanks to stop the leaking, condensation. Sorry, retired Engineer :)

They added grooves to the top cap on later runs.
