I received the Griffin today, but I don't have all of the tools yet.
I also ran into some problems with my roof. It decided to start leaking and I got to come home to a nice puddle in my kitchen.
If I am lucky, I will get to the Griffen this weekend, if not this, then next. I am kind of hoping the top airflow piece will arrive before I get to it. I need to make up some QWISO to try in the Griffin.
I found it very difficult to get information on how to build coils that are not sub ohm. Even though I prefer the devices that are capable of using the sub ohm coils, I prefer the higher resistances. Here is a video I came across that has helped. It does require extra work to make a higher resistance coil. This is in regards to my e-cigg oil. I prefer the lower resistance with cannabis oil. It really easy to make basic sub ohm coils since you use a thicker wire which is much easier to work with. All in all, I would like to master both types, so I have the option.
Update on the ceramic coil: Still working and tasting great. I have vaped about 2 grams with it, just need to refill and do 2 more.

Well, I pretty much have the Griffin built and ready. I have some RSO I can use, but I would rather try it out with some fresh QWISO. Have to make that still. I have a nice jar of buds that I just put in the freezer, some 4-G, my favorite for making QWISO. When I say 99% iso extract. Probably around 2 ounces.
I built the coils, not exactly what I want. I used 24 gauge kanthal wire. It is easy to work with. The wire is stiff and makes nice coils. I tried smaller gauge wire, but it was very difficult to work with. It is very springy and does not want to compress without adding heat to it.
After installing the coils onto the Griffin deck, I preheated them with the coil master 521 tab. I have to tinker around with them a bit until they glowed evenly. Bright from the center out is preferred. When using dual coils, they each need to burn evenly. I did 8 wraps for each coil using a 2.5mm rod, the total resistance with the coils combined is 0.38 ohms.
 
It was reasonably easy, but still a pain for a first time build. For first time coil building, I highly recommend 24 gauge wire, it is much easier to work with. Patience and experience pays off.
The next step was inserting the cotton wick material. I had watched a few tutorials and combined techniques. Going by what I have heard, too much and too little wick can cause problems. I think I installed the wicks ok (acceptable)
The bottom ring is very difficult to thread on, it takes patience.
When I get to filling it to try, I will use cannabis oil.

I'm really interested to see how the rebuildable works with ecannabis oil. It seems like all of the hardcore hobbyists on YouTube prefer dripping on RDAs over tanks for their nic juice.
So what was it about sub ohm vaping that you didn't like? Is the effect of the cannabis intense to an uncomfortable level? Does the 1.5 ohm coil deliver less medicine per inhale?

I think you may have it backwards. With sub ohm vaping, my preference is cannabis oil so I can get a bigger hit. I only use the 1.5 ohm for e-ciggs. I don't want giant hits for my e-cigg. I "chain vape" with nice little puffs.
I am 100% for sub ohm vaping when it comes to e-cannabis vaping.
