Mine is do in tomorrow. I ordered it the end of last week from Eciggity along with a Billow V3 Plus (25mm), and a Billow V2 Nano kit while they were running a 30% off Spring sale. Grand total was $58.77 shipped via Priority Mail.

Cheers,

top airflow one its easier to disassembly thanks to the other kind of "hat"

 

[Ravendark]

Paypal refunds can take up to a business week in my experience. Though I imagine they'd still refund you either way.

Got the refund today

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

Good shit.

Ok, I got the griffin 25 with top airflow today... not sure if it was worth the money...
Pros:
more juice
more airflow
it wicks better than the 22 (maybe that's the best pro)
It doesn't seem to have that tiny weeping above the botton airflow ring like the 22 had...

Cons:
I think the 22 has a tad better taste, maybe that has to do with the bigger chamber of the 25.
The distance of the posts is exactly the same as with the 22.
The chamber is slightly bigger, about half a millimeter, but that is not very noticeable...

Usually I am building 3.5 ID clapton coils (26/32) with 7 wraps on the 22, ok now I could fit an extra wrap on the 25 but that's about it...

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

Yeah, they took up 90% of the extra build space they added making the posts pointlessly bigger.

 

[VapeVillian]

Yeah, I have to say I've been a Griffin fanboy since the start. Until I got the Billow v3 plus in. As far as 25mm (or there abouts) it's my new top RTA for flavor followed by the Herakles RTA. Clouds, Vertex plus is amazing. 30mm, despite certain things I wish were different, the Ohmega Alpha BFT is the top dog of everything I own. I just wish I had something it fit on LoLz.

The OhmMega is just a VCMT clone, I like it but I'm not the biggest fan. Nothing beats the Boreas on flavor or vapor density so far and I have 95% of the new RTA's on the market or have tried them.

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

I like the 30mm VCMT, the 25mm VCMT isn't worth the leaking issues though. I got the 30mm VCMT to stop leaking entirely by leaving it upside down overnight, it would only leak over long periods of time. The 25mm isn't worth it because the build deck space is handicapped by the stupid ass thread-on chamber because they decided to use worthless juiceflow control on the VCMT that you can't adjust when using the tank. If you can't adjust the JFC during use, there's no business for JFC being on the tank.

I've been on an RDA only kick for about 36 hours now, I've been glued to my Mason 24mm and Tsunami 22mm. Can't wait for the 24mm Tsunami. I have 4.2mm 7 wrap 26 x 2 with 32 gauge fused claptons in the 22mm Tsunami right now and it's basically maxed out but it's a damned good vape at 182W.

Here's a review done yesterday by Zophie:

Hmm, where'd she get those coils? (btw mine are still going strong!)

 

[Wingsfan0310]

She's easy on the eye's but not the most technical/smartest reviewer out there. She complains about the wick retaining ring constantly but at the beginning of the video removes it to get the ceramic block out. Here's a thought, if you don't like it, remove it. On top of that she's using two .25 ohm coils in parallel then says it ohms out to .07. She obviously has a problem, it should come out to .125 ohms.

I have the Aromamizer Supreme, Billow V3 Plus, and Griffin 25mm (all 25mm tanks). I'd rank them as follows:
1. Aromamizer Supreme
2. Billow V3 Plus
3. Griffin 25mm

YMMV

Cheers,
Steve

HAHA beat me to it. Yeah, there's a reason I don't trust these youtube reviewers, and this is a perfect demonstration. I know the coils are on point, but take a little elbow grease to get working just right (I've been running the exact same coils in my 22mm Griffin for the last 2.5 months). I honestly can't think of any of the reviewers that I'd trust as a technical advice source, but they're not trying to fill that role for the most part (many of them do some minor dabbling in that) but they're simply advertising and they do that just fine. As an aside, I'm sure you've heard of it, but if you feel like succumbing to shinyitis check out the Boreas, very similar to the Supreme at a lower price point and just one hell of a device, my only complaint about it is the monstrous size of it, but compared to the supreme it'd be pretty close.

 

[Wingsfan0310]

Yeah, the rated resistance for the aliens she's using is based on a 2mm lead length. I noticed that she pushed them right up to the posts, which will decrease the resistance. Even so, the pair should come out to around 0.10Ω in a dual coil setup if installed right next to the posts. She may have removed a wrap during an edit.

That could be the case. When I install dual coil builds, I put on the first coil, snip the leads then check my resistance. Then check it again after installing the second coil. If it isn't very close to half of the first reading, I know I'm probably having a connection/short issue.

Steve

That may be the reason, but I pushed mine right into the posts, stretched, reset, stretched, worked the coils for hotspots, and ended up with .12-.14Ω reading on my mods (variance easily attributed to inaccuracies in the reader and heat), either way I KNOW the coils aren't the blame, they're fucking beautiful and vape like a fucking volcano that gives you pleasure rather than pain. Just I have to question her methods when getting that low resistance, obviously something is amiss. My feelings for your coils (all the ones I got) can only be described as:

 

[Wingsfan0310]

Do you think 2mm or 3mm would make that much of a difference? I was thinking a wrap was touching the post, cutting off a complete wrap from the equation on both coils.

My thoughts exactly Ray!

 

[JERUS]

If you look at the video the coil thats closest to the camera when pulsing doesnt have as many wraps glowing in the center (2 wraps glow) while the other coil is glowing 3 wraps...I think the coil closest to the camera coil is touching the posts as it would make since why its glowing like that.

Bottom coil , the second wrap in on both sides seem to be touching the posts

This is why I'd love if someone who actually did these crazy builds would do a review channel. My person favorite is Twisted420 because he's silly, but none of them do I trust to give me any accurate advice, just a review of the basic look of things. Anyways, Glad you got some press Chef, advertisement is great and it certainly worked well in that regard as the coils do look just like they are, fucking beautiful. I'm sure anyone in the know ruffled an eyebrow at the results, but it's easy to tell that it's not the result of the coils but of mismanagement. Anyways her other comments about light wicking struck me as off as well. I scottish roll the 22mm Griffin and it's just awesome. I have to take a 8s pulse to catch a dry hit, or chain it like 4X in a row at my normal 3s pulses to get that result. I've started wicking everything but my Diablo that way and it's worked out very favorably.

Here's a review done yesterday by Zophie:

As a gay man, the whole 'Flash my tits for views bae!' thing girls like her do doesn't effect me. She's scatter brained as shit and uses every female buzzword in the book to entice views from male viewers. If she was ugly or a dude nobody would have heard of her channel, because she's a shit reviewer who covers virtually nothing other than 'Oh I put coils in it and vapor happened! Yay!' in her videos.

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

You walk away enjoying tits, but knowing virtually nothing about the product. When you're gay like me that's a lose lose.

 

[VaporCarp]

Boobies!!!!!

 

[JERUS]

I dont watch reviews for products knowledge, usually just for visual identification and the entertainment...You wont learn much from a reviewer as they only know what they are told by the company its sent from....which you could find out by checking the sites of those companies.

Exactly, I watch them when the pictures I've seen aren't sufficient. That or if I happen to see one linked, I'm bored and figure what the hell.

 

[roxynoodle]

The boobs must have worked for Boreas. She got 43k views on her review of it, which was 3x more than any other reviewer.

 

[JERUS]

I don't know how anyone can not like boobies, I can understand some men and many ladies don't necessarily feel attracted to ladies, but boobies are boobies. I mean look how cute they are!

 

[roxynoodle]

Them boobies spoke some gospel, you'd be surprised on how much affect them boobies have on the male* species

I've learned from checking the reviews. Some didn't even get 200 views. She got almost 43k views! We need to send her Merlin as well.

 

[roxynoodle]

I don't know how anyone can not like boobies, I can understand some men and many ladies don't necessarily feel attracted to ladies, but boobies are boobies. I mean look how cute they are!

Those kind appeal to me.

Works for beer and cars why not for vape gear. Lol

 

[roxynoodle]

Or even a pair of Jugs can be nice around the house

I collect those.

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

Any ladies or possibly not heterosexual men here like girly ass twink boys? Can I get an amen? No? Fuck. I feel left out.

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

I'm gonna have to turn that one down. Afro's and aging skin just aren't my thing.

 

[84Harley]

The ORIGINAL girly ass twink boy

holy shit this is funny!!!

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

I think one of the criteria of being a twink is being young, something our core workout VHS tape friend is definitely not.

 

[Wingsfan0310]

The ORIGINAL girly ass twink boy

When I see him I think of General Hospital back in the Luke and Laura days when I was a kid (late 70's - I know I'm older than dirt ). It was my Grandmas favorite soap.

Here ya go:

Don't think he falls into the TWINK category. Not going to lie I read that and was like "wtf you mean a lower level character that you gave a bunch of good gear to so they could play on easy mode?" but I figured my old MMO days were just getting the better of me. And, apparently they were...http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=twink

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

Here ya go:

That'd be a 'hunk'.

My type of male is usually called a 'femboy', google image that if you want insight. Safe search on for you overly hetero types.

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

I basically like men who look exactly like women. Without the, boobs and, hole. You know.

Overly hetero is an interesting phrase, but I did avoid looking at images for "twink" due to the majority of the google search hits

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

Crossdressing fragile bitch boys is another good term for my type. That's the less polite term.

Why are we trying to find men for you to look at? Lol! I think most of us are the wrong people to ask

I like the hunky, tough guys. I would even do Clint Eastwood and don't care he's almost 86. He's still hot!

 

[Mikhail Naumov]

I'm engaged and monogamous, not sure why people are trying to find me softcore porn but damn it feels right.
