Love my Griffin. Good choice.Got another RTA. This time it's just a regular old SS griffin. It should be here middle of next week and I'm really looking forward to trying it out.
You have to be an idiot not to be able to wick the Boreas. Sorry to be so blunt. I have never had a leak in the Boreas, nor have I had to learn any "trick" to wick it. it is so damn simple ... which is what makes it so beautiful to use.The Boreas has leaking problems.. So it isn't the easiest to build on.. For if the wicking isn't perfect and I mean perfect it will leak.. Hell even if it is perfect it will leak here and there.. But it has an incredible vape.
Well that isn't completely true. But I think most leaking issues that people experiences are from orings that have gone bad or not tightly enough screwed in. I also experienced issues where the glass didn't center very well and it let a little juice out when screwing on the top. Also if you don't drain the base first by holding it upside down a couple seconds before closing the juice flow control. Refilling will overflow the base and cause it to flood the deck and cause it to leak from the airflow.You have to be an idiot not to be able to wick the Boreas. Sorry to be so blunt.

Hey man, to each his own but if I thought that way I would still be vaping on a Sig 75 with an STM and prebuilt coils. Just saying, no matter how much you may like something the world is always changing and there is always something better just around the corner. Personally, I don't let myself get pigeon holed into any one brand, atty, mod, coils, tanks, etc. Shit, if I could swing it I'd want to try everything.I've only had experience with the STM RBA (V1&2), Crown 1 RBA, and Bachelor.
All leaked (not condensation, not weeping, pouring and in cases squirting out) between 1ml and 4ml.
Got the Aromamizer Supreme and it has never leaked a drop. Uses a lot of juice, but not by leaking.
Can't think of a reason to try another tank at this point.
Well Top, none of the leaking issues you mention here have a thing to do with wicking that I'm aware of. If you notice, the quote I used from Shoutcast was specifically blaming the leaking on wicking ... so again, ya got to be pretty damn bad at wicking to screw it up on a Boreas.Well that isn't completely true.

I refill my Boreas from the bottom. Open the jfc/afc all the way, full it up, put the bottom cap back on and turn it over and vape away. No leaking, nothing tricky about it. No burping etc.
I guess everyone has a different take on things, but for sure any half-wit like me can wick a Boreas.
I think another tank that doesnt get its fair share of attention (Probably because of the name) is the Avocado...Mine is the Avocado 24.
Top coil, easy peasy builds because its a top loader....easy peasy wick....For some reason the coils dont junk up nearly as bad and mine stays in that wonderful vaping area of a freshly filled dripper.
Theres a new bottom air flow design out. It might also be worth a try.
I don't need anymore tanks! But something you said led me to Rip and Rip drools all over this thing. And I mean more than usual . And no spitback...or so he says. That's the one thing that's kept me from the limitless. So let's see where vapecrawler says I can get one of these cheapcheapcheap.
Good point on the single coil, forgot about that.I've looked at other reviews. You can run this in single coil so it will be offset to one side of the deck. Also the drip tip doesn't appear to have such a wide bore. I hate spit back and just looking at the design it appears it will do it less if you run one coil and block the other side.

I don't recal getting much spitback on either tank, a lot of that depends on your build.
Here is the SS version of the LP, the engraving is sick:
It looks a lot better in person.

I hear ya Top! I never said my Boreas leaked on top fill. I vape NET juices so I change the wick quite often. As a result I have it off the mod at least once a day, so, instead of the inverting, draining, turn it back over, fill, and burp it approach, I just fill it when I have it off the mod and am already checking the wick to see how my NET juice is grudging it up. So I just fill it. Easy. No burp, no slurp, no seep, no weep!Well Raja. If you read what I posted I agreed for the most part. It isn't foolproof but you are right. I was just building on what people why people might experience what they experience and why. Also suggesting Bottom fill for a top fill tank is not a legitimate solution. If your tank leaks when top filling through the top fill section. Then the tank leaks. Finding a workaround is good and all, but that doesn't make a tank something it's not.
Thanks, wish I could say it was mine, that is the G2 I sold to a good friend and now he mocks me by sending pics. I did see the SS LP in person at a local shop and when he gave me the price I bought one too. The engraving just doesn't do it justice in pics. Now I have to show restraint and not buy another silver G2 LE....lolWow that's a gorgeous pairing. I just picked up another Serpent mini, a Griffin and next on the list is the limitless.
Gotta get the Silver bro. That's the "special one". Lmfao.Thanks, wish I could say it was mine, that is the G2 I sold to a good friend and now he mocks me by sending pics.

Yeah, its a gift. 20 years as a trader will do that. I gotta find a way to get people to spend money on me. Lmao. I am Enablerman.Watch out for Deuces! He knows how to get ya to spend the $$$$$! LOL
I just read that the V3 of the LP does include a plug to run it in single coil mode. I know the SS LP is a V3, that is when they released it.I've looked at other reviews.

I'm holding off on buying the Avocado 24. I've got too many rebuildables as it is. Read plenty of reviews. It seems like a good unit. But right now I'm using the Billow Plus, Crius Plus, 2 Mages, and 2 Merlins. I can't possibly keep them all in rotation and I like them all. I need to break the addiction to rebuildable purchasing.

I admit it, and embrace it.But the first step in dealing with an addiction is to admit to yourself you have a problem!

Just got my Sjmy clone Kayfun 5 tonight. Never owned any Kayfuns before. Thought it would take a few tries to get it working properly. Nope one time and it worked perfect! I absolutely love it! It was so much easier than I thought it would be. I will be getting another.Kayfun v5 works for me. Easy to coil and wick, great flavor, very smooth airflow and no leaks. Bought a Tobeco clone to try and loved it so much I got 4 more.
I got the the same version a couple of weeks ago. Really a beautiful clone, but not enough airflow for me. I will keep it for vaping in movie theaters. LOLJust got my Sjmy clone Kayfun 5 tonight.
