GeekVape (Geek Vape) Griffin 25 Mini

[Frocket]

Looks to be side fill. Chimney has slots milled into it, which seems to be the juice feed.

Not having juice flow control may complicate things, but there's usually a bit of learning curve in wicking. I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out.

Looks as if disassembling with a full tank isn't a great idea, but I don't think that'll be a problem - if this drinks juice the same way my Griffins do, 3ml won't last me too long anyway.

BOOM!

No it's a top fill not side,well at least that's a plus,I hope you'll do a follow up when you get it and tell us how you're progressing along,good luck bud and keep us posted ok? Peace;-)

I think Frocket meant its a side feeder.
It looks like it feeds in and under the wicking holes, the holes look super small though and the space between the bottom of the tank and the wick looks quite large when you consider the liquid that wont reach the wick, maybe 1ml left in the tank each time? Im really not sure on this one..

The juice holes are much larger than the Aromamizer (which I think Geek took a page from) and you can't dry hit that tank. Even with a 3.5mm fused clapton with 7 wraps and only wicking from one side, I never got a dry hit.
And people say there will be about a ml left on the 25 that you can't smoke down but I don't have that problem. The movement from you hitting it moves the juice into those holes. Probably less so with this unless those slots go all the way to the bottom.
I might get 2 of these.

Any one know how big you can build in it?
I have 7 wraps, 3.5mm, fused 26 in my 25 and can probably go bigger. Maybe you can go 4-4.5mm on this one.

I'm not entirely sure this is the right thread for my question, but it has to do with the Griffin 25 Mini.
Out of the box, having attached the coils and the wicking, I noticed it would leak a bit when I'd fill it but after a while the leaking would stop. Then just the other day I took it apart to put in new wick and coils, since then I've noticed massive leaking. I'm basically throwing away juice it's gotten so bad. All the o-rings are accounted for to my knowledge (though I haven't been able to find a proper o-ring placement diagram for the Mini yet), and I've re-wicked it twice just to make sure. Anyone else have this problem with the Mini after disassembly and re-assembly? I've noticed the leak is coming from the air holes below.

Same thing first time i filled, except ALL of the juice leaked out. Probably user error that time, but when I cleaned up, put it back together and filled, I still Had some leaking at first. I hope the next time it doesn't do what yours did!

Hey guys and gals I know am in the wrong thread here but do yourself a favor and look at the wotofo Sapor rta,it's WAY better then anything geek vape as EVER put out that's the reason for the caps on way and ever lol,it as top airflow,therefor it never leaks,I have 3 of them 1 22 mm and 2 25 mm which holds 4 ml of juice,I've tried many tanks but these are by far the best tanks I have ever purchase,they are super easy to wick and fill,smooth as silk air flow,ok am gushing here but am just trying to share something that as made my life or at least my vaping life lol much easier.

I took it to my local vape shop and he tinkered with it. Filled it a bit ago, we'll see. Wish I'd gone with the limitless

I have purchased a Griffin 25 RTA and have been using it for a while now. I run a single coil clapton with the ceramic piece.

The leaking issue is one i have had, if you do not plug (DO NOT FORCE COTTON IN) the holes with cotton when building and/or the cotton is touching the bottom airflow hole(s) liquid makes it way in then down and out of the airflow.

If you build it right it is a fantastic leak free tank.

Note: When vapor cools it returns to liquid if your seeing liquid drops in and around your airflow this is probably the case.

My problem with the Griffin 25 mini is the glass tube not being encased in metal. The glass dislodged twice on me while trying to refill the tank. When that happens all the juice spills out. I put it in my drawer after 2 days and went back to my Gemini. I am also very O.C. about my cotton and change it daily and this tank requires me to dissasemble it everytime I rewick so that is also another con for me. I didn't encounter any leaks while vaping though so that is a plus. Vapes great too. Another plus.

I own the griffin mini and it's the best RTA I've ever owned. I have no issues leaking.. The flavor and clouds are ridiculous and I've never had a dry hit off it. If anyone has any questions I would love to help, I've been using it a little over a month with no problems at all.

Just ordered the Griffin 25....non mini. Maybe I'm the last builder in the world not to own one.

Did you get the 25 or 25 plus? The new deck design on the plus looks way better but I own the 25 myself it's a nice RTA only downside is it's huge, it's a bit annoying if you have a small device

 

[Beeker25]

Funny you mention that....I ordered the regular 25 from Element Vape and hours later got a email ad from them about the Plus. I wasn't even aware of this version. But I'm not sure I want to spend 40 bucks for it.

Glad that it looks like they did away with the wicking ring.

I had a hard time with that ring also until I started cutting my cotton on a diagonal and inserting it into the wick channel through the wick ring that way.

That's a bummer man, the new deck on the plus looks promising and a lot more efficient. But don't be disappointed the regular 25 is still good. Just don't over tighten the grub screws because they strip easy.

That's why I love the mini no ring to deal with and I love the way it feeds juice I can't dry hit
