GRIFFIN-RTA vs Gemini, the truth

[Nightwalker]

Cool, thanks, I will take your advice and check out some vids as well.

I have the Silverplay nano, so I have no idea on how to wick a Griffin either. Some of the Youtube videos are complete shite, it's more of a promotion than anything. I tried wicking it similar to my Nano, but it just breaks when I insert it in the wicking holes.



Onto wicking attempt no. 5 for the day

I just opened my Griffin quick to show you wicking. Excuse the Claptons, I've abused them today

I agree on all points except build quality where my Gemini sends the Griffin whimpering in the corner... But I hardly use the Gemini. Griffin. The last word in RTA.

Umm my Gemini is back at vendor due to factory broken negative post... Lol

Thanks! Mine looks quite similar at the moment, so it could be my Jap cotton then, weird because it's fine on my other tank. What cotton are you using by the way?

Great writeup in the OP @Nightwalker
This Griffin of yours is tempting me big time
If I get one i am going to probably be calling on you for help

So I tried the Cotton Bacon v2, had the same issue with the cotton taste coming through, trimmed it as much as possible making the ends sort've sharp - no difference. Then played around with the juice control, opening and closing it made quite a lot of bubbles. It's much better now, the flavour is not there yet, but I'll mess around with it a bit more, maybe wick it a bit thinner and cross my fingers.

You are going to get cotton taste when you start. I tend to juice and steam wicks before putting tank on. The Griffin is a beast. The cotton taste lasts about 1/4 tank

I get minimal cotton taste use my bacon on the Griff.

Wicking is as @Nightwalker explained , make sure the wick is toght enough to pull side to side through the coil without tipping the mod but with some resistance. Cut the ends to a point and lightly pack the juice channels. If it's too tight or too light it WILL leak and you will not enjoy this tank.

Once you get it right , it's all smiles
