Introducing the Griffin Rebuildable Atomizer Tank

similar to the phoenix, nothing earth rattling (yet)

Made the switch from the SS mesh wick to cotton. Wow, just wow. This Griffin is fabulous with this organic wick.

Made a wick last night with thinned out kitchen twine. Amazingly good vape using this in a Griffin. Chain vaping some Peach Tobacco. In vaping heaven right about now.

Lesson learned is as has been stated in the link below numerous times was to keep the wick loose. To get the wick through the coil, and snake it down into the tank, I wet the wick with juice and twisted it tight. Once I had it in place, I used a sewing needle to spread out the wick so it just made contact with every part of the coil. Used magnifying head gear to get it just right.

Picked up a lifetime supply of wick from Publix at half the price Amazon sells it for btw. But I will use the Amazon pic:

Any chance the spare parts shipment will have some top caps? Don't ask

Ditto as i could now use a top cap also. Don't ask ...lol..

What happened?

My bet would be they drilled out the air hole.

What happened?

anyone having problems check this out. taught my a lot on genny's.

with the cotton wick you just make a coil like you would on an ody, but just drop it down the hole?

Who, me? lol

Metal duct tape is a mans best friend. Lets just say I now have an adjustable air-flo cap.

Pretty much. What I did is use a brill bit to wrap the coil, and left the bit in to mount the coil. Removed bit, then passed the wick thru the coil and into the tank. Then spread out the wick to make contact at all points of the coil.

The SS mesh vapes nice once properly oxidized and any hot spots are eliminated. The cotton, though is head in shoulders better IMO. Another problem for me with the SS wick is even with a 2.8 ohm coil, on my Provari mini the battery life is less than half of a same rated coil non SS wick. Weird, but true.

That's interesting! I'll have to try wrapping 'identical' coils around both style wicks & check that out.

What did you drill it out to? I did mine using a 1/16" drill bit and get a great hit off it. If I want a cooler hit, I put it right behind the wick and if I'd like it a little warmer I offset it. Of course, I guess it's all about personal preference. For me, reeming it out to 1/16" diameter was/is perfect.

Yay it's my weekend!!! I finally have a chance to mess around with my Griffin!! As I had said before I want to try all the different awg kanthal I have on it and find a nice sweet spot I almost don't wanna mess with it because it's been working so well for me with my current setup

I've been thinking about doing the same thing just with a 1.5mm drill bit if I can find it

[gormly]

Wonder how quickly this batch will sell out

probably a lot faster than I think it will and I will be out again until they get back from their holiday

good and bad really.

 

[Swarley]

Well good for those who get one and for yuo but bad for some of us slackers Although I managed to snag one up in the first batch. So if I can do it anyone can lol.

I'll probably be wearing out my F5 key tomorrow night.

if they do show up they will not be online until 5:30PM or so.
No sense in refreshing until then

But they will be online before 7PM, so if they are not there by 7, they did not come in.
I will send out a newsletter and tweet.

love the reddit banner
