Help! Cant stop my Griffin25 to stop leaking...

[Avid Vapor]

Hi Everyone

I have been using the Griffin 25 for a week now and I can't stop it from leaking time to time, particularly when I refill it, and it always leaks through the air holes...

I have a 3mm Kanthal Clapton dual built in it reading at .55 ohms and my wicks are till the lower end of the wick ring. A buddy of mine wicked it once for me and he kept the wick till the bottom so I could see the cotton through the juice feed holes and it did not leak at that time. Before I made my first built i saw this youtube video where the guy kept his wick till the lower ring and I have seen this concept acclaimed by many in the community. However it is not working for me so help please!

Why not rewick it the way your buddy did to the bottom of the well so you can see it through the juice holes? If that worked, and you got a good vape on it, why try to reproduce some other wicking method from a YouTube video that's making your tank leak?

Thanks! I thought to myself the same while typing this. I guess the only reason why is bc i saw couple videos where people wick it till the lower ring and many commenters have appreciated that method. I will try the longer wick next.

Btw do you have any experience with the Griffin? If so what worked best for you?

I haven't used a Griffin but I've read some of the sagas on controlling leaking with that tank. So if you have a method that works, stick with it.

I looked at the Griffin 25 mm tank but got something else. I do have the Vaperesso Gemni 22 mm RBA tank which I believe is similar. Top airflow, liquid flow control, and bottom air flow. I originally had the bottom air flow leak after filling and a friend linked in a video to prevent this.
This is the video for the Vaperesso

you can also find vids for the Griffin 25 with leaks by putting a search for it.
A few different things could cause leaks but mine was a air pressure build up when putting the top back on forcing out liquid that went into the bottom air flow.

I have the Griffin 20 Plus and it will not leak for me until I open the top to fill it unless I close the A/F holes fully. Waiting for time to repack the cotton to see if more helps or not.

Thanks all for the help! I'm a bit late on replying here but I did figure out the cause of major leak in my Griffin; basically the o ring on the bottom of the tank was a bit loose i think was causing the leak. It does still leak at times but is now manageable
