Hey All,

Ordered myself the smok GX350 today (Only a few in UK and I managed to get one!!) that will be here Tuesday. Didn't order the kit as realise the new TFV12 is coming soon so didn't want the TFV8.

I currently use an Alien with a Big Baby RBA. Feel like the GX350 would be wasted with the Big Baby on it for now. So want to either look for a new RTA or big tank with an RBA.

I cant can't decide whether to just use the Big Baby for now and then order the TFV12 when it's released or get another RTA and give it 6 months or so before the TFV12. What do you think?

If I was to go for a new tank immediately, what would you recommend?

Thanks.

I'm a flavour chaser, minimum air flow and moderate power. Currently running Big Baby at 40W with a 0.25 build on as my daily vape.

I'll be running the GX with 4 x LG HG2s so be safe up to around 215W even though Mod can hit 350.

I'd fancy something that isn't a nightmare to build on. Find Smok RBAs easy but had an iJoy XL... that was an absolute... fatherless child...

until something better comes, the griffin 25 Plus. Is my absolute fav RTA 18.9mm build deck can build with a full tank, air flow, juice control, super easy to do whatever I want. Right now I have. Dual 3.96mm coils in mine and run about 53 watts half open on air flow. That's my opinion

I completely forgot about the Griffin! Have done a build on the 22 a few months ago and was a dream.

I'm off to search for a Griffin 25, thanks!

not the 25 get the plus "25 Plus" redesigned juice flow makes for super simple wicking 25 is good but the 25plus is better

Thanks, I realised my mistake when started looking. Found the 25 Plus for only £28, a bargain. All reviews are very positive so went ahead and ordered one.

Thanks for the recommendation, very happy with what I've got coming :)

Just to say thanks again for recommendation. 25 Plus arrived today and immediately put dual 3mm 26g Claptons in at 0.25. Running at 55W with both airflows at half and it's an absolute beauty.

I've never had a tank so easy to wick. Getting no dry hits and only one leak when I was stupid enough to fill it with juice slots wide open!

Not even going to bother with the TFV12 anymore, it will be tough to beat this Griffin and at 28.5mm diameter, will have quite an overhang.

Anyone interested in the GX350, it's a big powerful beast that is simple to use and built like a tank. Great clear clutter free screen. Had it running 3 days now and not needed a charge yet. The firing bar is solid as stone and requires abit of force to fire, handy to prevent misfires and feels like will never break. Downside is the finish isn't great, paint feels thin and cheap and not a fan of the fact it's matt finish. The carbon inserts look and feel cheap. The battery door (when no batteries in) feels like it is ready to fall off.

So counter the downsides ordered a brushed titanium wrap with metallic red inserts for firing bar.

glad you are enjoying it as much as I do. It really is vaping perfection in my opinion

Now that we're well into the 4 battery wars, does anyone know the difference, other than styling, between this one as the upcoming 4 battery 400W Smok Engine? And why Smok would offer 2 mods using the same battery count but with a 50W difference in rating?

Look at the Smok X Cube II and the Smok X Cube Ultra... very minor differences

does it still exist? every place that was selling it for pre-order never shipped and all say out of stock or discontinued. I think smok scrapped it to be honest.
right now i just see the rx300, smok gx350, and ijoy maxo and exo360.
I also think sig is making a 366 watt one one?

Too bad if they scrapped it. I liked the look of it. No use for it, but it looked good.
