what would you recommend?

[BobbyWV84]

Hello, pretty new to using a vaporizer. I have a Halo Triton and been using it about 3 weeks. The only reason I went with it is because the simplicity of the setup. I would like to find something similar, not shipping from China, and long battery life. Halo parts seem like they are more expensive than other brands. I looked at Kanger and the prices are waaay better, but it is not American made and would take forever to ship to West Virginia. Anyways, I prefer a good vape cloud and keeping it simple. So much info on this site, I figured I would just ask on a thread. Thanks very much for any help!

eleaf Istick or innokin MVP and a Nutilus full size or mini. Doesn't get much simpler and will give a good vape and long life.

You make it sound like Halo is American manufactured. Halo buy from Kanger.... and you can buy Kanger in the US.
So - go for it!

I currently have an istick with an Aspire Nautilus Mini and love it. I tried three different Kanger tanks and in my opinion, their coils suck. My Joyetech eGo One just came in the mail and I can't wait to try it out. Check out the vaping chronicles on youtube, he gives a great review of it.

For noobs I "recommend" not going watt crazy. Learn how to vape first.

I do agree with this though the ego one kit Bully speaks of is easy to work with, has excellent performance and other than the cost for replacement coils is reasonably priced. Other than airflow there is nothing to play with on it. It just works.

My new go to recommendation for new vapers.

Oh, and welcome aboard Bobby, congrats and cheers to you!

I agree that an iStick 30W and Nautilus Mini are a great setup (I use mine with Halo Torque56 all the time), but neither is made in the USA. I'm not aware of any clearomizer on the market that is American made, but you can find American-made rebuildable atomizers. You'll pay a lot for those up front, but rebuilding is cheap.

 

[BobbyWV84]

Thanks very much! Definitely getting ready to research these.

Most of the vaping gear/hardware that we use comes from China. Some manufacturers have better products and quality control than others. Avoid the generic, no-brand-name stuff like the plague.

The MVP or iStick are great battery devices, and I've heard mostly good things about the mini Nautilus delivery devices. Good luck.

 

[BobbyWV84]

Thanks. I have no problem with it coming from China. I didn't know most if not all were made there, I just didn't want to wait weeks for it to ship like on Amazon. Which is my only experience with buying anything that ships from there. But I see now that most do ship from a seller in the USA. My bad! Thank you

You have some great suggestions but I just wanted to

you to ecf. Easy to see why it is a wonderful place to be. Good luck to you and I look forward to seeing what you get. Make yourself at home and . . . enjoy.

Thanks! This is a pretty awesome forum. Just soooo much to learn.

The ipv mini v2 can be found around $60 and is the best bang for the buck out there. Probably too many watts for someone new, but think of it this way, you'll have lots of overhead to advance in vaping as you progress. Take it from someone who has bought too many devices along the way instead of just cutting to the chase.

About Halo Triton. The Triton battery has 808/ego threading. Most devices have 510/ego threading.

The Triton tank is very almost identical to a Kanger T2 except it will only work on the Halo 808/ego threading. However, a Kanger T2 will also work on a Triton tamk. It will leave a very small gap (like 1/4") but it will work just fine.

Both the Triton tank and the T2 use the exact same replacement heads. Below are some cheaper tanks and heads.

Also, Smokeless Image uses the same treading and they have some other devices that will fit the Halo batteries.

I started with Volt x2 (similar to Triton). I then moved on to a Kanger Evod2 kit. It was better, but I've upgraded since. When I first started researching, the most common advice was buy a good setup because if you don't you'll wind up upgrading shortly after anyway. I should of listened LOL.

For a battery, I like the MVP20watt from Innokin. It's built like a tank and has variable voltage/wattage. There is a new 30watt out, but they're double the price.

VaporBeast /com has the MVP20watt for 30 dollars shipped. Use code TENTASIC to get it for that price.


For a tank, I would go for the subtank mini from Kanger. It can use the bottom dual coils, the new organic cotton coils, and it comes with a base that allows you to build you own coils if you would like in the future. I like future proofing.

VapeSuperSaver /com has them for $32.99 shipped.No code. If you want more than one it looks like they are cheaper if you buy more than 1.

Both those sites are in the US and ship quickly. Sorry for the links, I'm new.

If you wanted to stick with Kanger brand, they have a 40 watt box mod coming soon, but I can't suggest it yet since I haven't seen any reviews yet.

Bobby, while there's something to be said for "Made in THE USA", most of the goodies we use are made in china.
The Chinese invented ecigs. Really.

I personally have had very few issues with kanger. I prefer them over aspire because aspire stuff never works for me. And the price is right on most of their stuff.

My daughter and I use Kanger Evods. I have ordered Kanger products from Sweet-Vapes, Mt. Baker Vapor and Sun Vapers, and trust them to supply genuine Kanger products, including coils. All have a decent selection of Kanger products, reasonable pricing and shipping charges, good customer service, and good turnaround time on orders.

You are probably going to want to get a glass clearomiser at some point in time. The Kanger Protank 2 Mini is a good one to consider.

Enjoy!

So OP, how confused are you now? LOL Everyone has a favorite go to device. Watch the reviews and try to plan for the future if you can. I swore, when I started I would never use anything bigger than My halo G6. Fast forward six months, I've learned to build on a Plume Veil and I've got a Lemo on the way. Let's not forget the Atlantis and Segelei 100W box picked up along the way. It can be a slippery slope, but it's better than smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!
