Apr 03 2016 On a previous entry I showed the coil build for the Griffin. I wanted to make some fresh QWISO for the first test run. It came out very nice looking without winterizing.
I pulled a small amount from the pan so I could get to testing more quickly.
I gave the Griffin a first test run with fresh made QWISO. I filled it up, then opened up the oil ports, sadly, it flooded a half fill immediately! I am not putting blame to the Griffin. The way I did the build was A-OK. Due to the light wick job I did. I should have opened the ports more slowly. Lesson learned.
I used up the oil that remained and added more without leaks. Today I will top it off just to see if it will leak. Now that the coils are broken in, I have a feeling it will not leak.
First Impression:
This unit is not for beginners. It is easy to make a mistake and lose expensive product.
On the good side, I have never had a vaping device work so well. The smoothness, taste, intense draws with no coughing, extreme potency, I have no complaints. I have to use it more before I can confidently give it a thumbs up.
Another word of warning, if you get this thing going like I have, once you start using it, you just can't stop!!! It is that good.

Apr 03 2016 Well, gave the Griffin a refill. Filling up to the top caused leaking. Filling it up 3/4 of the way there was not leak problem. It could be all my fault. I think I may have not put in enough wick to the ports. Other than that, it is working just fine so far with unbelievable hits.
This time when I filled it to the top and it leaked, I was ready. I had my little pan at the ready to catch any drips.
Here it is with the QWISO e-cannabis oil. The actual color is an average of the three images shown.
Nix Apr 04 2016 That's some great looking QWISO ejuice.
Apr 07 2016 So I ordered an accessory for the Griffin. A top airflow piece. All I can say is WOW!
I poured out the remaining oil from the Griffin, about 1/4 at the most. Then I removed the original top and installed the new top airflow piece. This new accessory takes up more space in the tank to accommodate for the extra airflow. That is actually good for us e-cannabis users. The tank now holds less liquid and may even be less likely to flood when filling. When I filled the Griffin with the new top, I only filled it half way. When filling, I left the top airflow vents open, the bottom ones were closed. I encountered no leaking.
The Griffin, in its original state, is the best hitting rig I have had for e-cannabis period. With the new top airflow, when it comes to e-cannabis, it is even better yet. This is not for beginners, but for the do it yourselfers. There's no going back for me now, I am hooked.
Here is the Griffin attached to a SmokTech mechanical vape (left). It operated just fine using an LG 18650 3000 mAh battery (the brown battery). The vape on the right is the KangerTech mini
