Yes, unfortunately both versions of the Griffin were leaking on me as well, shelved them after a while, too much hassle with the wicking overall. Every time when I've thought I've nailed the perfect leak-proof wick, 10 minutes later it happened again, usually after refilling... A shame, as the flavour and vapour were both top notch :(

What I usually do with attys that have juice flow control is that I take a few puffs with the JFC closed after refilling from top to get the cotton a bit dry before I open the JFC again to prevent it from being over flooded.

I have to do this on some attys while others I don't. The griffin 22 was one where I didn't have to. No leaking when it was in rotation.

i always vape with jc close when using 50/50 juice. And i notice the top airflow leaks only after refilling not after new coil build and wick. And for bottom i tighten the 510 pin, and result are only stops leaking for few days and then it starts. The leaking i was saying is not like running water, just a lil bit slowly creeping through the tight gap

I noticed a little. Just a few very fine drops... that is condensation. My Griffin only leaks when I forget to close the Juice Flow or my wicking is not right, but you put heat and liquid together at different ambient environmental temperatures and you will get condensation

Same here. In fact I regret buying the Griffin, both versions. Just when I thought I got the wicking right, it also leaks for me after a refill. This is why I'm more of an RDA guy instead of RTA. With RTAs, you have to specifically wick it a certain way or else it leaks like crazy. I'll just go back to using my RDAs at home and I'll look into buying some Tank with pre-built replaceable atomizer heads for when I'm at work or when I need to go out and do something for the day.

The Griffin just reminded me why I always hated RTAs and was a RDA kind of guy.

@Desert Fox : you can consider an Aromamizer Supreme, easy to set-up, no leaks whatsoever (at least not in my case), or a Boreas (same deck and wicking style, also significantly cheaper), I have both and they perform beautifully!
As for RDAs, my current favourite is the Royal Hunter mini, not only at home but also while out and about, crazy flavour and clouds :)

Sorry for the off-topic!

I just did a little research on the Aromamizer Supreme and seen the good reviews on it. It also looks easy to build and wick, plus the clouds and flavor have also good reviews. I'll be ordering the Aromamizer, thanks for the recommendation.
