Tanks and decks aren't out yet, but the pre-sale prices for a pair of decks
isn't that bad (Sold in 2's).

Example:

$7.99-$9.49

They'll probably be available for less once the tanks/decks
are in full release.

Reviews finally surfacing:

Got my preorder in finally. Disappointing. It's a leaker. Put the dual clapton HBC in and filled the tank up making sure the juice control was shut off and everything was tight on the tank. Half way through the first tank of juice it started leaking, and continued intermittently leaking in refills. Tried the alternate SS HBC and it even leaked more. Double check everything; all o-rings etc and everything seemed fine,, even tried burping it when filling.. On the SS HBC it looked like the wicks were touching the chimney a little to much and I adjusted that. Helped a little bit maybe but still eventually leaked. I don't know if this is condensation or whatever, but still unacceptable as I never would take these things out when I am mobile.

What is happening I think is that the liquid seems to build up down at the bottom in the AFC well area and eventually builds up enough to overflow and then leaks out on to the mod. That's why it it seems to leak intermittently, though technically it's leaking constantly until it overflows and it becomes visible. This has been my experience with pretty much all Griffin style tanks, no matter what I do. They all dribble at least a little bit or are complete soakers.

I was interested in trying out the Eagle since it's it's all pre-built and would rule out if I was doing something wrong. Now I know it is nothing I am doing. Think I will just go back to Kayfuns. The v5 looks awesome.

Sorry to hear about the leaking. Hopefully, they'll be some kind of a solution soon.

Speaking of e-juice leaking. Finally starting using my Griffin 25 last night. Followed all the
correct procedures, wicked it properly but once every hour or so there's a pretty bad
leak out of the AFC. Re-wicked it a few times varying the thickness of the cotton each
time, but it still happens over and over again.

Yeah, get used to it. ;-) Pretty much par for the course in my experience with this style of tank. I would love to know the secret of people who claim it doesn't leak; or maybe people just have different tolerances of leaking. God knows I've tried everything. I love the function of the tank though; the velocity style deck, the clouds, the flavor, the airflow. I've had a little better success with Vaporesso variants but that leaks too. I just have had it with the incessant leaking. My skin, mods, furniture, car and clothes hate me.

Hi to all,I also just got my pre order finally a couple of days ago,my issues is not the leaking as so far I've been lucky up to this point,my issue is rewicking the coils,I've tried a crap load of times and just cannot get it to vape smooth,but then again I don't think the stock coils are not smooth to vape on either let's be honest,but I think that's do to fused Clapton as they are know to pop,and spit a bit when vaping because it's a hot coil,I would like to try they're tiger wire coils when they become available to see if they vape smoother,it's a real drag because I had high hopes for this one but so far am not very impressed and no matter what people will say now or later rewicking these coils is not as simple as they will make it out to be trust me;-)

 

[PhilBrown123]

got mine for review and my reviews are honest and this tank will probably not get a great review, good maybe but here is my first impressions: hbc has WAY to much wick in it chokes flavor and wicks horribly (at least mine does). no leaking issues but I did trim my wicks and place them over the holes myself, my single coil wick wasn't covering the hole on one side so it would have leaked. the single coil is easy to rewick and works semi well (except the design doesn't wick super well). the dual coil was vaping ok (besides the flavor and poor wicking) then all the sudden the ohms changed from .2 to .13! so I unscrewed the base and tightened the post screws, went back to .2 for a couple vapes then dropped again to .11 which is where it stays. something is shorting or something causing ohms to drop randomly and drastically. overall not impressed with the tight airflow (nowhere near the griffin) and poor design. most rdta tanks have the coils at the bottom whereas here then have it halfway up the tank so halfway through a tank it starts to wick even worse. and when I hook it to my dna200 and check escribe on the single ss coil t shows it hits temp almost immediately and drops watts to compensate. sorry for the grammar issues but im pretty unimpressed and all these reviewers are saying it's great, which is why I started reviewing to start with but thats neither here nor there. grimm green says it best on this tank. it's riding the griffins coat tails but is no where near as good.

EDIT: also the negative post on the dual deck was loose thought that may have been why the resistance dropped but after tearing apart and tightening still the same. dont mean to butcher the product but the truth needs to be mentioned especially when it is becoming more and more apparent that bigger reviewers are either skewing reviews or not spending anywhere near enough time with something before doing their videos. maybe even both. keep in mind all this has happened within 3 days of receiving this tank.

 

[franck]

Hey philbrown sorry to hear about all your issues,if it makes you feel any better you're not alone bud,I got two of them,one with top air flow and one standard and I've had nothing but issues as well,spent hours trying to re wick them and vape smoothly as they're coils are just too stuffed and you pretty much have to re wick them pretty much out of the box,I've also been successful at re coiling them with dual twisted 26 gauge wire get them glowing just fine but wicking is just a nightmare it's impossible to cover those juice holes just right,it either leaks,dry hits,gurgles,or a combo of it all at times if am really un lucky,I had high hopes for this that's why I got two of them,I guess I get sucked in by the reviewers who always think stuff is the greatest thing since sliced bread but then when you get your hands on it you find out other wise,I think that since geek vape is always coming with new .... all the time the reviewers don't want to piss them off and want to continue getting free crap and I mean crap from geek vape,I mean ok maybe they are good builders but if you spend hours re wicking a tank you should be able to eventually get to work right? They're not wizards,anyways I hope you are able to get to work soon;-) sorry for the long post I just needed to vent a little ...

 

[PhilBrown123]

yeah I agree. I know my review isnt going to be great itll be ok but the wire they used must be janky because have had zero resistance issues after putting my own staple claptons in it. wicking better now that I replaced the coils and cotton BUT geared as a subohm tank with pre built coils that you have to change out after a day and rewick before use is insane. most users wont be able to rewick it especially not beginners and even I have issues rewicking the darn thing. top airflow leaks when upside down even for a minute so accessing the build deck with juice in the top airflow version is a no no the problems outweigh the good parts in my opinion.

 

[franck]

Phil I could not agree with you more,I forgot about it leaking like crazy when it's upside down mine does the same thing,I rewick the dam thing sooo many times a day it's unreal,I thought it was going to make my life easier but it's been the opposite,am looking at the herakles v2 as it looks interesting,time will tell.

 

[cdrice15]

I got the standard version Monday and it's leak city. I've tried both coils that came with it, replaced all the seals and rewicked numerous times. I have went through 30ml of juice that had leaked out of this thing. I had high hopes for this tank because I had gotten out of building because I never quite hit the hang of building. My hope was this would give me the great vape of rta's without the building. Guess I'll have try something else.

Any suggestions on a rta that easy to build on and wick?

Hi Cdrice15,I hear you man trust me,the only thing I could tell you is that when you rewick it make sure those juice flow holes are covered up but not plugged up if you know what I mean,it is a fiddley beast there's no dought about,I also got it because I thought it would be easy to rewick but boy was I wrong,as far as rta goes am looking at the sense herakles v2 because I like the wicking Chanel's,I can't stand those 4 little pie shaped wicking decks like the griffin,or the crius,they have like zero wicking error,try looking up the herakles v2 it might interest you.thanks for sharing your story with us,I've seen a few people complain already and am sure there's going to be more.

 

[Completely Average]

This thread illustrates why I come here for information rather than watching Youtube reviews. I can't count the number of tanks I ALMOST bought, but decided not to after reading comments here. And with the exception of just one poorly made KFL clone, I've been very happy with the tanks I have bought.

Single or dual coil?

For Single Coil I really like my Serpent. The ONLY problem I've had with it is making sure I keep the wicks away from the juice control ring, If you get the wick pressed up against it then it can pull the wick away from the juice channels when you open and close it. But really it's very easy to build for and wick.

For Dual Coil I personally really like the Herakles V2 RTA. It's very much like the Griffin 25, but is easier to wick.

 

[franck]

Yep I agree don't have the herakles v2 yet but gonna get one,is it really easier to wick then the griffin,or billow v3?

 

[PhilBrown123]

I reviewed the herakles rta-2 recently excellent rta and super easy to wick flavor is a little lacking but still great tank and great cloud production

 

[franck]

Thanks for the feed back Phil,tried looking you up on you tube so I could sign up and watch you're reviews but could not do it :-/ I'll keep trying to find you bud;-)
