I do recommend the Griffin, but it is not for a beginner.
Pros: It does work and can work great with e-cig juice and e-cannabis oil. So far, the best I have tried for both, especially when it comes to getting a large, clean draw. It is affordable.
Cons: It is difficult to get it working just right. It can lead to a lot of frustration and losses when working with cannabis oil. I wish the wick wells were a bit larger, there is room. I think the deck could be 1mm smaller so the automizer would not be as close to the glass and the juice flow would be more smooth (faster acting) when it comes to the thicker oils.
Based on what I have heard recently, you need 2.5mm wells or ports to handle thicker liquids more conveniently. That is what we need for potent cannabis oil.
I did order a differently designed unit that has 2.5 mm ports. The Aromamizer Supreme. According to the super cloud puffing e-cig enthusiasts, this is considered one of the best. I am thinking it will work the best for e-cannabis. It is a bit expensive, but I just have to try it. The reviews have impressed me. For me, it is all about e-cannabis.
I can't imagine why someone would want more vapor than what the Griffin offers, but a big thumbs up to them, I am thanking you guys out there. The bigger cloud puffing stuff works awesome with e-cannaibs. That is what it needs to work correctly. If it wasn't for the big cloud vaporists out there, I wouldn't be able to experience this.
I did receive some clapton wire. I have a super vape device that goes to 200Watts, theWismec Reuleaux RX200 for home use and testing. They have really come down in price. It is kind of big and bulky, it takes (3) 18650 batteries. Just what I need for home testing. I can work on a coil build and not have to be concerned with it tipping over. I can fire the coils from 1 to 200 watts with full confidence that there will be no lack of watts. I believe it will come in handy since I am going to start using custom wire, which may require a higher wattage than what my single battery vapes can handle, for my coil builds.

I would like to compare the 26 gauge stainless steel, and 26 gauge kanthal, see if there are any differences.

When taking spare batteries along with you it is good practice to keep them in a cover or case specifically made for the batteries. I wanted a case that can carry 2 batteries but they were out of stock, so I got one of the $0.95 gel slip cover cases. You never want to carry these or any battery for that matter, loose. If you carry it loose, unprotected in your pocket or purse and anything metal causes it to arc, you become a disaster waiting to happen.
Again, I am still getting accustomed to the sub ohm vaping. let alone doing it with a super cloud puffer like the Griffin. I think I may begin to prefer it. On the downside, giant clouds in public can be annoying for others. I don't blow giant clouds like they do in the videos. I can, but choose not to, considering the fact that I am using 100% VG, which does produce more vapor.
I have noticed since building my own coils, and using the same flavors, vaping seems to have a different taste, like it is more clean after getting used to it. Now that I have been using the Griffin with dual coils, it is a whole new step in a different direction. I just may start to prefer it.

I am hooked on sub ohm vaping for my ecannabis oil. I have really gotten used to it with my e-cig use also. I have mentioned previously that I chain vape and have been for a few years now.
The Griffin rocks. I am getting used to chain vaping large draws. It is smooth and comfortable, more than I thought. I cut my nicotine in half again, to accommodate the more heavy vaping. So now I am down to 6mL nicotine. Using it like I normally do as a vape, I have had some leaking or flooding issues. It is not too bad. Not enough for me to complain, although with ecannabis the potential leaking needs to be taken in consideration. Waving it around, putting in a pocket, cocking at a steep angle when taking a draw, sometimes it will leak a little due to flooding. Many times the flooding is operator error. There are airflow and juice flow controls that need to be closed for certain operations. It is easy to forget or screw up the process.
The Griffin is an awesome tank. You can get them for $28 at My Vapor Store. The biggest downside with the Griffin is it is difficult to wick it properly to accommodate the large draw capabilities (it could use larger juice ports).
Now for ecannabis oil I have not had as much leaking problems because I only fill the tank about half way. I also close the juice control and airflow control when I am not using it. It is really worth it if you are into it. The draws are unbelievable, can't be beat. After getting to know the unit from building your own coils and wicking, it is easy to solve many issues that may arise. I can just flip it upside down, pull out the coil deck and usually fix the issue with a toothpick. After experience you learn. That does come with a cost, using oil.
Well, it has been a tough winter. I already have to start preparing for next winter, but I can at least do one more test or two before summer gets here. I just ordered the Aromamizer Supreme. It is a different design with larger wickign ports. I will be testing that soon. I hope to be testing another new design that has just been released. This is similar to the Griffin, but with improvements in design. The Billow V3 Plus, which is currently sold out. It appears to have twice the size wicking ports as the Griffin and that can make all the difference. I hope to have some oil available to try this out.
As for the Griffin top airflow control. It is not a must, but it is a nice accessory. It is nice to have the option to balance the airflow control.
I am really impressed with the RX200 box mod and will more than likely get a backup, which will require 3 additional batteries. It has been great for around the house and nice not to have to worry about it tipping over.
I am not ready to give a full review on the clapton wire yet. I made one set of coils, but wasn't really happy with it. I could have done better with the wicking as well as the coil build. I would like to test it with the e-cig oil too, but not quite ready. Right now the vape I am using for my e-cig oil, the Griffin is working great. I don't want to remove the wicks and coils until they are ready to be changed. I will follow up with the clapton wire in the near future.
At this point, I see 2 types of successful ecannabis use. One, going with something like the nano or mini that has prebuilt coils that function well with ecannabis that offers great results. To me the biggest con with this is if the company makes changes, or if the government bans them, you are not in control. Also building your own coils with the RTA, RDA, and RDTA requires interest, it kind of becomes a hobby. If you have no interest, well, it will make it more difficult. Those who build their own need not worry too much about changes or regulations. I am at the point where i believe I can build better coils that what comes prebuilt. Just took some practice. If you already have the equipment, a ban would not be that terrible.
