Geekvape Griffin RTA!

[TheWestPole]

As if the Griffin rta couldn't get any better, we now will have top airflow. This definitely looks like a response to the Gemini rta. Glad to see GeekVape make this as an add-on, rather than a totally new rta that needs to be purchased all over again!

Preorder for $8.90: GeekVape Griffin Top Airflow Set - SS

For the life of me I don't get the benefit of top airflow. Who wants to inhale more air? I want vapor and to control it where it's generated.

@Bman123 How does the air flow on the Griffin compare with the MT? I've heard a lot of good things about MT so I still want to give it a whirl.

 

[Bman123]

The Mt has slightly more airflow but for some reason the same build in both rta's runs better in the Griffin. Maybe it's because the Griffin is wicking better, idk.
If you have a Griffin already I wouldn't recommend getting a Mt rta, its not as easy to wick

IDK, cloud chasers?

Would not add anything. On the contrary, it would reduce the cloud to add more air to the vapor.

I slept for 12 hours... I feel so cr@p, and so do my lungs. I love MTL during such circumstances.

@TheWestPole The only benefit I see behind top air flow in this atty is for people who want to vape really high wattages. The same applies for Gemini's Vaporesso. If I had that tank, I sure hope I am able to close off the top flow as it doesn't suit my vape.

Edit: Does the top air flow make the vape a little turbulent?

Your right, make it more wispy. You need less airflow for denser vapor. I run my troll with only 1 air slot open on the coil at 140 watts, sure it's pretty warm but it's extremely thick and dense vapor. I'm not a fan of top airflow at all, I prefer less

best build i put in this for flavor and vapor is dual claptons 8wraps 24g kanthal core and 36g nichrome wrapped 2.5mm ID slightly spaced i've tried fused claptons not enough airflow so flavor is muted i've tried a bunch of builds but this one works the best IMO oh yeah my clapton ohm'd out to 0.31 reads 0.33 on my cuboid

This is my current and so far favorite Griffin build. All Ni80 2x28/38 dual fused Clapton over 3mm 8 wrap. .33 ohm and very delicious around 70w. Virtually no ramp up time and tons of tasty vapor.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the Gemini RTA brings air from the top, down to the coils, and then back to your mouth from the coils. So it's not just to cool off vapor, but to increase it, too. Like the top airflow RDAs.

This looks to be the same.

It's too much airflow for me, it does look cool. It's just like the herakles plus tank

There can never be too much air. ;-)

 

[Uncletattoowhat]

So is that top airflow piece actually redirecting airflow down to the coil then back up, or is it just adding additional airflow similar to the tfv4 stock drip tip?

I gotta say, the glass on the Griffin is nice. I've dropped mine so many times now and the glass isn't even scratched. Let alone cracked or chipped.

It's like the herakles plus tank the tfv4 top airflow sucks

Goes down the Chimney, around the coil and back up through the chimney. So definitely not like TFV4

I just like the fact that they made it as an option. It's encouraging that they are adding options and improving grub screws, etc... Not saving it for v2 to sell a whole new unit. Good on GeekVape.
