You know, I've never ordered anything from eBay or vaperoyalty....And I'm not sure about clones being out there or not yet... I'm sure somebody will chime in with better advise... and you do know there is a Griffin thread in here someplace, lol

Done!! Got it on eBay for $34.88 with free shipping, and no tax! The seller there was actually element vape and I've ordered from them before with no issues. The tank was nearly the same price on their website, I just saved the shipping cost. Happy camper!!

Well in my vaping journey I learned never to say never.. I mean if I didn't try something new how would I know if I like it or not? Lol
Remember, you've been a single coil girl (your own words) ..dual coils require more power...dry hits can be caused by improper wicking ...not necessarily too much power...I've found too much power meant a hotter vape, never a dry hit..
That's another reason why I love these new VW mods that let me dial in that perfect vape..lol

Eciggity isn't China?? I'll go check em out. Thanks!!
No, they're in Hawaii.

I purchased... my Billow V2 Nano from them. They shipped pretty quickly, didn't over-charge for S&H and their communications was good. I would buy from them again.

Their being in Hawaii: You can expect to add a day or two to shipping times, though.

Wicking... Pretty sure that 99% of my problem. Too much? Too little?? It's hard to figure out just how much. A work in progress, just like my coils

because the hub in oompaloompa florida is a black whole in the space-time continuum.
anything that goes through that hub gets stuck for a few days for whatever reason. I'm in Louisiana and get shipments from eciggity in 4 days and from vapinart in 5 or 6. - craziness

There are several good YouTube videos on wicking the Griffin.. I think a dude named Northern Fog has a very easy tutorial on building/wicking..but remember that practise makes perfect.. Just keep at it and before you know it you'll be wicking like a pro!

Or, if it's a clone, that it specifies the brand-name -- I got a couple of really great Tobeco KFL+'s at one point on eBay... but I also got a really crappy kayfun lite because I forgot to look for the brand.

Afternoon WC#2 denizens.
Things have escalated here,as my office cohort has left me solo for the rest of the week due to the fact her 1yr old germ carrier has contracted the flu.
I knew today was going to be a gem from the get go....

Yikes! I never go over about 30w! Everything I have will certainly do 60 w or higher,,, I'm afraid of dry hits.

All true, though... I'm in GA, and I've gotten stuff lots faster from CT and AZ than from FL. The only exception is WA state; there's a black hole around Bellingham -- an order from ECX once bounced between Bellingham and Seattle 3 FUCKING TIMES before it finally escaped that state.

Lucky for me, I'm stuck in the same black hole and fluent in oompaloompa, but no habla español.

It might be improving just a little... my last order from WizLabs didn't take an excessive amount of time; I think it was about 4 days once shipped -- but WL was having their own black hole at the time, really backed up on orders, so it took them a while just to process and ship.

Mini Volt came in, now to get a solid 40w build on my Avocado. Thinking 28g cored fused claptons. Anyways, that thing is TINY! I saw pictures and those people must have small hands, this is going to be nice to bring with me to my event this weekend.

It's going to hit close to 80 degrees today in Richmond, man I'm in such a good mood, hope it is infectious. :D

Talking about Richmond Virginia?
I've been up and down I-81 a lot and can't remember it being warm in Virginia, lol

I used to run that route also, going west also on 77, man that snow belt you hit at Beckley all the way to the top of the mountain and then it's clear in Charleston.

I've been MTL for 4 years. Never understood DL... Until I upgraded all my stuff. Once I got rid of the carto tanks and got a subtank I started DL and find I really enjoy it. I have three sub tanks, two reaper tanks and a Cubis tank. I also have a Vaporesso target tank but I don't use that one,, it's a pain in the ass. I get "check atomizer" no matter what I do with it. The Cubis tank isn't my favorite either,, pretty tight draw, much more suited to MTL imho.

Ok, I'm gonna order that griffin today... What gauge wire do you guys use???


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I use 316 SS wire. Either 26g or 24g. It varies. I use mine in TC mode
