mine does that also if i dont have all 3 pieces tight... just mess around with it and keep spinning the tank (clockwise like 10 times, with the tank on) and see if you can figure it out. im still unsure on how it fully works. JFC is weird too
I have spent most of the morning trying to figure out how to disassemble the deck. I'm sure I could fix the easy spinning afc and jfc. But I'm totally at a loss.

I've attached some pictures of my build, can you guys see any reason for it to be giving dry hits? Thanks
Your build looks fine, make sure your juice control is FULLY open, best tip ever with this tank. Spin it a little further after you see it open, you want the holes on the chimney aligned with the middle of those deceptively wide slots.

Thanks for the help, it turned out to just be the wicking, it was way too thick I think. I ended up just rewicking, I made the wicks a lot thinner and fluffier and now I can chain vape without any signs of a dry hit. Great tank, if you get the wicking right!

I contacted Geekvape about my wife's loose afc and jfc rings. They are sending me a new one. Top notch service people. They actually back their product.

That sounds like the icing on the cake for me right there. It's hard to find a company that actually gives a ....e about the people who buy their products

Nice! I'm going to contact them about my loose jfc as well then! It's the only thing I dislike about this tank.

Loose AFC ring, what exactly is it doing. Do mean there's not enough resistance and does not stay at your preferred air flow setting? Or that it does not stop at any point allowing you turn it 360 degrees?

My wife's afc and jfc turn with no resistance what so ever. She constantly has to adjust it.

I like that Brian on TVC compared it to the crius. 3mm Clapton is pretty impressive. The one thing I am curious about is refilling. From what I've seen in these videos there is no seal inside the top cap. The only thing I see is an o ring under the thread on the body. I wonder if juice will be on the threads when opened which could be messy. Guess I will have to see some real world useage.
no problems there, wicking is better on the griffin if they just SIT on top, don't cram them in

That's a shame. It's good to hear they're replacing your unit. Geekvape does need to improve their quality control though, as I had to have my first unit replaced too (broken glass and stuck grub nut). I'm very happy with my replacement, I hope you will be too [emoji1]

Has anyone here tried the Gemini tank? Looks just like the Griffin but it has to pair flow like the herakles plus

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Nope. There's a few reviews floating around and it looks to be better than the Griffin in many ways. If I wasn't happy with, or hadn't purchased the Griffin, I'd go for the Vaporesso.
