Griffin mini leaks on fill/refill

[rzeppy]

Ok here's my issue with the griffin mini. When I put a new build on or refill, it vomits juice out of the air flow holes. I clean the more than acceptable amount of juice off the side of my mod and vape away with not so much as a dribble of juice leaking. I've tried closing the afc and filling, leaving it open and filling, leaving it closed then turning it upside down and then opening the afc. Exact same results every time. Love the vape I get off it but its not worth the amount of juice I lose every fill. Any ideas?

I found a decent workaround for the mini. First, your cotton has to cover the 4 juice holes on the base, not pressed tightly but also not lose. Since there is no juice control extra care has to be taken.
Second, keep your juice bottle already open and try to spend the least amount of time while refilling so the cap doesn't stay off for more than a few seconds. What I personally do is screw the cap back and twist it one round after it catches the threads and then turn it upside down and tighten it completely.
Third, always check your o-rings each time you clean the atomizer and close the airflow ring while refilling...

Hope this helps a little...

I got the Griffin and at first I had the same leaking.
Then the sales rep told me to close the holes to the wicks while refilling.

Here's what I do:
1. close the liquid intakes (the holes where the wicks come out)
2. Refill it and screw the cap back on.
3. Take a couple of puffs before opening the juice intakes. (The way this works in my head is that the wicks get dry enough to take the extra juice that comes in when refilled.)

Since I started doing that there has been minimal to no-leakage.
