@Rob Fisher I have both tanks (Griffin & Crius) and find the Griffin to be of same quality. I prefer the Griffin over the Crius as I can finally build dual 3mm ID claptons on a tank!Never had a dry hit, vaping max VG juice, flavour is tops. Also I can now chain vape a tank at 80W plus!
Cotton bacon should not make any difference. Your coil ID looks like 2 or 2.5mm? I see you wick from under the coil then over the top of other then down. I wick individually, from top to bottom, fluff out the bottom with a thin flat screwdriver. My cotton looks like there is a lot more than yours?
Please take a pic of your build with wick. I have had dual 24g Kanthal 3.0mm ID using Japanese cotton and have never even had one dry hit.
Here's a picture of my setup.
I'm loving the flavour. Have built a dual vertical 24g 6 wraps (I think) 3mm ID. Vaping Fro Yo! 6mg at 80W, very happy. My favourite tank however is the MUTATION X MT RTA as I can vape anywhere between 50 and 90W depending on what juice. The Aromamizer is no 2 followed by the Bellus.
If this was only capable of 10w for a days usage I would have bought the iStick 10w. However this is not the case. I've said what I wanted to say above ...
Vapor Shark sells spare Lipo batteries for the device. I'm pretty sure one can get one locally from a hobby/RC shop. I wanted one initially, but with the zip charging of 45 mins I am happy as is.
