Righto Ladies and Gents,
The time has finally come.
Many have already discovered the amazing flavor powerhouse that is the UWell Crown.
Unfortunately for those of us that enjoy rebuilding too there aren't many tanks that really compare in flavor department. That is until this piece of art by GeekVape.
Taste is subjective as always so for those that don't like the Crown my opinion is moot.
That being said let's talk about the Griffin.
Griffin Basics:
Shes feels big, not wide but tall. The short driptip accentuates this. The machining is good, threads smooth. Little bit of machine oil smell that a quick wash takes care of. The delrin drip tip is nice and wide. Quite a bit wider than the standard 510. And top fill to keep us sane.
Comes with extra glass, colored o-rings, grubs and allen key.
Build Deck:
One word : HUGE.
This thing is a bloody powerhouse. Velocity design which I am loving more and more.
You can fit pretty much any build in here barring the really mal things.
3mm ID, 24/32 6 wrap claptons fit and look small on there.
The wicking channel and ring design loaned from theCrius Cthulhu v2 (thanks @Dubz ) makes wicking a bloody breeze.
Tuck into the ring slightly. Trim whatever doesn't make it in and you are set.
Juice flow control keeps your mod dry when refilling and keeps every drop inside where it belongs.
The flavor experience:
This is where it instantly won me over.
Clapton have until now been a meh experience for me. This tank, I believe was conceived for these coils. With the build mentioned above it runs a cool juicy vape with max airflow at 60W.
Normally I feel flavor loss when the vape is too cold on wide airflow tanks/drippers but not this little beast. The flavor pops instantly.
With the airflow half closed this tank really can handle the heat. The vape becomes nice and warm. The clouds become thicker rather than larger and the flavor increases for my warmer biased pallet.
What struck me is how well the flavor compares with the Crown specifically. Even the billow v2 which was my flavor rebuild-able of choice is far inferior in comparison. Even with the delicate fruit flavors. NVC Milked was like drinking from a bowl.
Final Notes:
Amazing Flavor.
Massive clouds with wide open AFC.
Easy to build, easy to wick.
Massive Build deck.
My only complaint is that the standard delrin tip is slightly short which leaves me getting a hot lip every now and again. But this can be remedied with the low profile 510 adapter that is included.
That's about it... my take on the Griffin.
It will be seeing a lot of time in my rotation from now on.

. The ring around the juice channels actually first appeared on the Cthulhu v2.
