You fargin' rock!! ?

. Best part is these come with the ceramic block for single coil builds, which I tend to prefer. w00t!!!

View attachment 175691

I've read somewhere that those ceramic blocks fit into the older 22mm versions. I haven't tried it though. Griffin's still vape pretty darn good in my opinion.

I pretty much started subohm vaping with a Griffin RTA and Atlantis V2 subohm tank later. I used cheap ego sticks and another called the Joyetech eComm Mega. My first real enjoyment though was with a Griffin tank on a Pico mod. I paid $40 alone for that Griffin 22 RTA. I've been a fan of the series ever since. The only one I haven't tried is the Griffin Mini. I got the 22mm, then the Griffin 25 Plus, then the Griffin AIO, and lastly the Griffin 25. The 25 Plus is probably my favorite. It has the velocity styled posts obviously, but has the Kennedy styled airflow tubes. The wicking is just lay your cotton in a bed like fashion too. The AIO was a neat idea but I never got a Pharaoh to trade decks with or whatever. I only used the Griff 25 once. It vapes well but I forgot to use it again.

Well my dear, I wont go vape historian on ya, but how is this for classic:

Rocks like a Hurricane....

At the time, I'd gotten a Smok TF-RTA-G2, and so didn't feel the need to get into the Griffin line. But now I appreciate the hell out of it and the Aromamizers and the TF-RTA sits idle in it's leakyness.

Good 'ol shit don't quit.
One of my most dependable setups, and I have like 20 going at any one time.

You have to burp those TF-RTAs, otherwise they'll puke on ya every time.

Is that a Griffin you have goin there?

I can't get my Griffin to not leak. Temperamental biotch she is.

Yah, you're right about the TF, plus it is just a poor clone of the Griffin line anyways.

It is likely yer wicking then dear, it's all that keeps it from losing a tank.
Mine is about bulletproof. It has to hold vac for filling, while still allowing good wicking. Watch that when ya turn the thing, those wick holes don't get frelled..stuck bubbles in the intake can be a problem.

How I refill:
Close AF, undo top, fill..slowly, but steady as the liquid is applying positive pressure to the wicking, put top back..which puts more pressure on, open AF and quickly take a dry pull to re- establish vacuum. Vape.

OG Griffin should never leak. It survived a Milly attack that knocked it 4' to the floor...lol...

 

[gsmit1]

You fargin' rock!! ?

I got one of the original Griffins awhile back and love it, but the newer one I never found at a price/shipping that I liked. I got two...one of each color for under $15 shipped. Best part is these come with the ceramic block for single coil builds, which I tend to prefer. w00t!!!

And all done just in time for football readiness.

I've never had a Griffn. It came out at the same time that the Heracles RTAs did and everybody said they were really similar. I have 2 Heracles RTA2s and a mini. Which I still love.

For that price I grabbed one of each size Griffin, an OBS Crius RTA V3 (never had any of those either) and one of those goofy square Wotofo RDAs for 2 bucks. Some juice too.

@Just Frank is definitely the deal hunter extraordinaire

 

[Just Frank]

My Artisan vapor order showed up today without any Pulse V2's. Oh well.

You mean you ordered and paid for them and they didn't send them? Mods or RDAs?

 

[Just Frank]

They crossed them off on my receipt and wrote "Refunded $39.90". I still got a red Naboo and 2 silver Pico S mods for pretty cheap.

just dam the holes don't fill them too deep

 

[Synphul]

They crossed them off on my receipt and wrote "Refunded $39.90". I still got a red Naboo and 2 silver Pico S mods for pretty cheap.

That's like what they did to mine. I started to get 1 pulse v2, then thought for the price get 2. One of each color (black g10 and red resin). I added the luxotic to it for like $13, got me over the $50 mark for free shipping. Seen others having issues, orders cancelled etc. Then got notice it had a label created. After it updated and usps said it shipped, got an email said sorry, one of the pulse's out of stock and a refund for the $19 whatever. Still got the free shipping I guess. My preference would've been the black obsidian but that's the one that sold out so I ended up with the red. Which can't gripe, 1st choice or not a pulse for under $20. Plus the luxotic.

 

[Just Frank]

I posted in the vape mail thread that my stuff from the Wet Vapes sale showed up today. I wasn't going to open any of the Griffin's but did anyways. I've never used one with the single coil ceramic plug thing. The Griff 25's I got come with two plugs each. I didn't remember that but that's cool. I'm vaping on one now in single coil mode. Strawberry / Watermelon DIY juice, and it's tasting great. The airflow is pretty smooth. I like how the plug let's some air through and directs it at the side of your coil.Those were a bargain and half.

 

[Just Frank]

If you act quick you can score a red Odin Mini 75C at Vapordna for $84 (around $89 w/my state tax), free shipping. Code: EXTRA30

Anybody looked around Wet Vapes recently? They dropped prices on some stuff. Wotofo Bravo RTAs are only five bucks. Same goes for Vandy Vape Iconic RDAs. Look around there's more. They still have Griffin 25's for cheap.

I've always wanted that Voopoo mod that looks like an 80s VCR or walkman. It's called the Alpha One. It's always been high priced for some reason.. It used to be $70 at Wet vapes. Now it's $39.99 so I ordered one.

 

[gsmit1]

The Iconic is a good RDA. I've had a stainless one for a long time. I might take a look at the Bravo over there.

[MyMagicMist]

May not be news to others, was to me. FastTech is now letting you buy "gift" cards via PayPal. You then, redeem these same as "money". It will not let you buy vape gear directly via PayPal or other Debit/CC.

Seems FT is keeping these "gift cards" database-d. You just add your "card"'s number or chose it from the drop down box at check out. Put $20 on one and it's good until same day 2026, five years.

Good way to "work around FT", thank you.

Aren't there any other Chinese vendors that take credit cards?

Do they have any of them Smok mods? I hear they're reeal good.
I dunno, that's what I heard...

There still may be. Would hazard to guess as bans and such start here in America, credit card companies will restrict what can be bought. You could possibly buy flavorings, cotton, wire, batteries.

If it appears to be vaping gear though such as a mod or atty, nicotine juice you won't be able to buy it with a CC or debit card. You'll need to start hoping some vendors offer similar work around, or go buy via black market / use cryptocurrencies.

That will be the reality of it. Hopefully with new faces going into the political theater, we'll see those bans be removed or relaxed. Hopeful but doubtful as well here. Seems they have figured out another way to profit, i.e. tax vaping or restrict, regulate it to hell.

If taxing was done fairly, I may not mind. Can see from how things stand presently, taxing will be disproportionate. At such point, hello black market. If paying more anyway, it won't go to political types at least.

And here's Coppervapes with Gorge RDAs. Yes, the driptip on the left is glow-in-the-dark, lol.

Yes, yes, yes. Can't go wrong here. I was actually after a Squonk for my gorge an these look perfect so thanks for the post

Good to know. I always see them around along with a couple other Vandy Vape RDAs. I think one of them is supposed to be the origin of the Rebirth. Might be the Iconic.

I think we can tell right away that the Bravo will vape pretty nice. Hopefully it doesn't have build quality issues but for five bucks....

I went back and ordered again. I always pass on the Tsunami 22 because it don't come with a BF pin. I ordered one this time. There must be one around here that'll work or maybe one can be ordered.

 

[Just Frank]

I've been having no trouble using debit cards at Fasttech. My last order was a few days ago though. Maybe they shut it down but it appears to still be working for me. I wonder why some can and some cant?

 

[CaFF]

Maybe already posted but Wotofo has a 25%off USA section.
And, that Tron-like green background..it is reactive and follows yer mouse pointer...kewl.

They had Elder Dragons in that section around Thanksgiving. I got some of those and a couple pairs of flush cutters. I ordered a frosted Profile 22mm conversion cap and they sent me stainless. I didn't mind that and actually preferred that better. All 3 of those items are gone now .

I just looked around there, found one thing I've wanted for awhile for a good price:



I got the smaller Sinuous mod long ago with a mini Elabo tank...still love it. This is it's bigger brother.
I have a bunch of the rba heads for that tank already too, so I'm happy.

Think I'll use it to test out the Wotofo Profile M.

Second that can. Well in my case I've been using PayPal mainly to buy lots of vape gear from FT. May be PP caught on. Dunno.

That's javascript particles It is super cool. Find a sparsely populated page there and just leave your mouse cursor sit still for a few minutes and watch all of the "particles" find it and form this geometric circle.

If you move it really slow you can drag the whole circle without breaking it, but the piece that's under your cursor will be anchored to it and the rest will follow kinda like a flag. Move it faster or give it a shake and it will break all up again.

You were here a year almost to the day before I was

The Predator had a very wonky and sometimes dangerous 510 if I recall correctly though. I think they eventually fixed it.

Then again, the very early Aliens had their problems too, but Smok fixed that pretty fast.

Anyone else scoping out ambition mods Bishop rta for less than $50 seen a review Net vapor on you tube. and I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one any thoughts the only thing is how does it not flood the deck and not eventually leak ? And can't figure out why when you separate the deck from the tank how the juice holes magically close what seals off the holes . And the 2 indents on the bottom make your juice evaporate.. not familiar with this ? Any thoughts.. ?? You know hiw it works back up for a backup for a backup its a trap ?

It won't flood IF you wick it right.

Is that what you're after? A seriously tight mouth to long vape?

I don't have that RTA, but it does look like it should vape great and it won't flood or leak if you wick it right like I said.

I have other atomizers that feed the liquid from the top like that and they don't leak or flood either. Even with 50/50 liquid.

The Haar and the EVL Alien come to mind.

i lately only buy from vapinart they have been really true and fantastic with their shipping .. i only buy in the us i have almost 300 just floating from china and figure i just ate all my stuff as far as that 3 mths no update what so ever and i was scoping haar out but not in stock either tanks you have mentioned

I have no experience with juice that thin actually.

Vapinart is great, but kinda expensive. I've ordered from them several times. The Haar does not excel at mtl though. It's a great rdtl tank, but there are much better choices for mtl.

It won't be cheap, but if you want top shelf mtl grab a Kayfun Plus 2021 from over there if they still have them.

 

[Just Frank]

What do you guys think of the Luxotic DF squonk mod? I saw it on CVD and Vapesourcing has a code for it now that drops the price to $20. It's in the US warehouse and all 4 colors are in stock. I've wanted one for a long time. Someone here posted about getting a bunch of them for $15 a couple years ago. I would've been all over that.

One would cost $31
Two would cost $57

Their shipping is always a bit outrageous so they're not really $20. Coincidentally I bought two Battlestar squonk mods for $57 total.

Got 1 already was looking for a cheaper back up is all .. and I seen them and they looked pretty good why I posted the questions... but thank you guess I will roll the dice like I keep saying and just keep spending my card is crying and the just raised my spending limit on my card .. but can't stop spending lol . You never know have to have enough to last 4ever or until these morons ? stop their stupid shit which do you think is going to happen first this whole market after March is going to be a shit show

Brand new Morph 2 mod for a pretty low price.

I have a luxotic bf- I like it a lot. it’s nice and small, very responsive. It’s biggest downfall is that of being an 18650 and the battery life you’ll get at higher wattages. But you’ll get that from any 18650 mod.

I have the BF but haven't used it. It's almost the same mod as the Luxotic Surface but without the screen and buttons. I also have the MF which is a single 21700 squonk mod.

The DF is the stubby dual 18650 squonk mod. It came out around the time the Pulse Dual did. That one had a bunch of complaints about leaky 510 and auto firing. I haven't heard much of anything about the DF. Hopefully they're just solid workhorse types.

I'd love my Battlestars but the bottles (or plastic backpacks) almost feel like disposables. They're probably going to suck to clean. I have extras but I just wish one side would come off or something.
