Too soon to pound a hammer on it, I've only been using it for like four hours. Overall it's got about as much airflow as most other RTA's, it's really similar to the Griffin. JFC is little loose, as it usually is on these tanks, but it works. Same way you'd wick a Griffin, overall it DOES vape very similar to a Griffin. Imagine a 22mm Griffin with a much easier to build on deck, so far that's what this tank has been for me. MtL, I'd say doable though not ideal. It's not a very restrictive airflow, though it's by no means cloud chasing airflow though you could get some decent clouds off this tank. I'd say MtL is doable, it's not overly swooshy to the point of it being impossible when it's more closed off.
It performs great, it wicks great, it's super easy to build. Is it a frontrunner in my line-up? Nope. That's just because I like huge builds that tanks like my 25mm Boreas and 24.7mm Herakles eat up that also have more airflow, but that's not to say it's unworthy of being the go-to tank in someones collection. It's a damned good tank, a lot of tanks are damned good tanks. This one is just really easy to build on. Quick and painless coil installation, same annoying RTA wicking though.
I feel if they made it a four post HOLE RDA, like a velocity style deck, then added the clamps on the sides somehow it would be better. Four individual clamps, I always hate sharing holes. If you're a single coil guy it won't be a problem because you got the option with this RTA. But the post holes are huge, so you can fit most anything in there. The deck isn't huge, it isn't small, it's right around 15.5-16mm like the original Griffin. If painless coil installation is a huge pro for you, you'll love it. If you want a cloud chucking, heat pumping, wide open airflow type of RTA with a huge capacity and large build deck, this one probably isn't the right fit but I still think anyone who tried it could get a good vape off of it.
This tank was obviously designed with one clear demographic in mind and they hit the mark well. For people who want a simple, yet effective tank. One that vapes good with a variety of builds, but isn't a cloud king or 10 wrap 3mm staple coil eater. Something they can build without hassle in small amounts of time and depend on for their all day vape. That's who this tank is for. They took the 22mm Griffin and made it a shit load easier to build on. I'd like to see a 25mm version of this tank with more airflow and a bigger deck, because then I'd probably use the hell out of it.
Flavor is pretty good, not dripper flavor but is still pretty good. Vapor production is just like the Griffin or most 22mm RTA's, good but not dripper good again. Juice capacity at 4mls is nice for a 22mm tank with a decent deck, they got more capacity than the Griffin did and it's not really a larger tank overall. Ease of use is definitely a solid 10, there's NOTHING to getting this tank setup, if you've been vaping for, a week and can wrap a coil you can get this thing built. Wicking on the other hand, is the same balancing act of most non RDTA rebuildble tanks. Not too little, not too much. I've mastered this due to my abuse of RTA's, but to some it could have a learning curve if they don't use many modern RTA's.
Overall my biggest con with this RTA is how basic this thing looks. It's NOT an attractive looking tank, not to me anyway. It's very, simple, and the contrast of black and stainless steel with the drip tip isn't doing the aesthetics any favors. But, this is subjective and has nothing to do with the vape it gives.
You do get a bunch of pre-made and pre-wicked micro claptons with it, I got three pairs of two. There's too much wick in them, just trim it a little. I don't recommend you vape them, because, pre-made coils never tend to be top notch. But they work, I pulled the cotton out of one pair and no hot spotting. Very typical factory-made claptons, even a home-made round wire build seems to do better than these, but if you don't want to build coils you get enough to easily last you a month or two.
