Hey bud. What gauge wire are you using to achieve 10 wraps on a 3mm ID and are you making vertical or horizontal coils? I have managed to fit 6 wraps max using 24g. Claptons and Twisted (My claptons are usually 26/32 and 2 strands 24ga for twisted) I can fit 3 wraps max. Please show me because I'd love to try something different in the Crius. I dont even bother with the verticals because its way too much PT.
Griffin or Gemini?

Hey I use 26g kanthal 2.4id or 3id and my common build is 8wrap on 2.4id to get .48 ohm .. I once did a 10 wrap and got .62 and it fitted and wicked perfect. I haven't tried other wire coz I'm hooked on 26g kanthal. It's very versatile
This is my current 9 wrap 2.4id kanthal reaching 0.51 ohms

Crius FTW, smaller chambers give better flavour as the same wattage BUT at the expense of build options. Griffins are a bit 'rough' on the manufacturing side and have seen some where the 510 threading was out of spec, workable but undersized. Gemini's I will know soon but I suspect the Smok RTA G2 will give the same performance at a better price point.
Glad I'm not the only one hating on the griffin and it's crap quality.
Hate is a bit of a strong word but they are obviously behind the likes of OBS and SMOK in that respect, rough but workable. Kudos to Crius for introducing Velocity style decks and Kudos to the Griffin for making it bigger. Centre pin airflow looks to be the next big thing..
Agreed on the word hate but I only got 2 tanks out of the griffin with the rest of my premium juice all over my mod.
I think I'm entitled to hate after juice all over a dna 200.
After a little while with both in the house... the Griffin sends the Gemini running home yelping, tail between the legs, begging for mommy.
The Gemini is a nice tank. But no Griffin killer. Nice build quality. But when that wears off and all that matters is the vape... Run home to mommy.
Getting myself another Griffy.

Tank wars !!! 
I am not impressed with the Griffin, with all the hype, it unfortunately falls short for me. The Aromamisers still gives way more flavours and build options.
You only say that because its easier to build vert in the Aromamizer
Exactly what build can I not do in my Griffin that the Aromamizer can handle? I will do such a build just to prove a point.
There is a slight difference between possibility and convenience IMO.
Aromamizer is a PITA. But KILLER flavour no jokes there.
Griffin I got has excellent build quality, the big builds make for awesome flavour and allows wicking to keep up with high watts.
Claptons staged with 26g SS makes for quick ramp up and unbelievable flavour.
Unfortunately can't comment on the Gemini, although looks like they took a Griffin and made everything bigger and better.

Guys I'm retiring from this. Cyclone FTW.
All I'm saying is the griffin could have used a clean instead of being full of machine oil and the threads stripped which is poor workmanship from geek vape. I won't be buying any more of their products for few years.

The Griffin leaks way to easy, and that is saying alot coming from an Aromamiser user.
Mine hasnt leaked once since I got it (second hand from a fellow vaper). And I have made some really shoddy/hurry builds.
You are a far superior builder to me, and this is where in the problem lies with the Griffin.
I honestly suck at building. Alotta peeps can vouch for my incompetence lol.
I think using cars as an example is quite fitting... 3 of my buddies got the Golf Velocity (I was an idiot and got a 1989 Toyota Conquest RSI instead) when it came out (brand new off the showroom). Exactly the same car just different colours. After 6 months, the one dude had his car in at Barons 8 times for various faults. The other one found out that his Chassis was built skew and regardless of what he done with the suspension, it always hanged to one side. The last guys car was absolutely perfect and still drives it today... my Griffin was probably built on Wednesday.
Well I must suck, cause doesn't matter what build i put on this tank, it leaks. Followed the youtube wicking mentions, doesn't seem to help, anyway it is relegated to the scrap box for the time being.
Give it another shot in a few weeks. Maybe replace your o-rings, tighten the 510, give it a nice scrub... who knows, it might be in a better mood thereafter.
