Triton II

[Philabos]

Hi

First time here, looking for some advice.
I have used the Triton I for some time and liked it, so I ordered the Triton II thinking it might be better.
Unfortunately it seems to run very hot, spits and gurgles with even a super mild draw. I tried Halo CS and they suggested the coil must be flooded. They also said I should disconnect the top and store upside down when not in use. I have never had to do that with any other device. Tried their suggestions, nothing improved, and they went silent. Having done a search I find I am not the first to encounter this issue. Before I just throw it out, wondering if anyone here would have a suggestion. Thanks,

I have the Triton II and have never had a problem with it. What coils are you using?

 

[Philabos]

The coils they sent with the package.

 

[Vapemesilly]

Need more info. What ohm is the coil? What mod are you using? VV or TC mode? If VV mode, how many watts?

I have no experience with the Triton but Welcome to the forum!

I believe the OP is referring to the Halo triton II kit.

Which is a pen style 700mah or 900mah battery with a rebranded tank.
Halo triton 2 heads are available in 1.5Ω, 1.2Ω & .75Ω.
If you're used to using the 1.2Ω or 1.5Ω heads the .7Ω will be much hotter.
The resistance should be marked on the packaging or on the head itself.

Flooding can be caused by a bunch of things, usually the head isn't tight into the base, they loosen when you remove the tank to refill. Always be sure the head is tight.
Could be the bottom o ring from a previous head is stuck in the base, it won't seal properly = flooding. Too restricted airflow setting & damaged or missing o ring / seal can also cause flooding.

Try properly priming a new head, ensure there is no o ring stuck in the base.
Clean & dry the airflow chamber in the base.
Install new primed head into base tight, fill tank, let sit a few minutes, take a few unpowered primer puffs. Adjust airflow to your liking, now press fire button & vape.

The long term solution is to get away from Halo gear. (Power & delivery devices)

Thanks for the advice. Gave it a try, but still getting super hot around the tank, not very pleasant vaping.
I guess I just have to conclude I do not like this product.
When I first started vaping, a friend of mine told me to just use a clearomizer with a cheap ten dollar battery.
Guess it was good advice.

We'd have to know what resistance head you're using, like I said if it is the .75Ω getting hot would be normal.
Best to try the 1.2Ω or 1.5Ω before giving up.

Might also be a dirty connection between the battery & tank, use a q tip & rubbing alcohol & thoroughly scrub both the threads & mating surface on tank & battery.
Dry with napkin/paper towel.

I thoroughly cleaned before trying again. No improvement.
I really do not know the resistance because nothing is labeled. This is like placing a firecracker in your mouth. Doubt I will invest any more in the device. Thanks for your effort anyway.

I might try a bit harder to get a refund, this sounds like a situation you have tried quite hard to remedy. There is always your bank/credit card to turn to on these occasions if the vender is being a jerk about it. That's just me, there are probably some things I'd let go, but it doesn't really sound like user error to me...

Best of luck,

Anna

Hi there. I also have the Triton II from Halo. When I first received it I also thought it was way too hot. If you're using the coils that came with the kit, they are the .75 ohm. I ordered the 1.5 ohm coils and with the air flow open only slightly, it was much better! I know for me I just can't use the .75 ohm coils.

Thanks for that. Glad I am not the only one. Really don't know how anyone could stand the ripping hot mouthful.
1.5 ohm on the way.

I tried them and also had multiple problems, also had problems with the Reactor tank. Halo was unresponsive to my complaints. Both ended up in the garbage when they wouldn't charge.

I love the Triton I, but they may have goofed with the II. I will let you know how I make out with the new coil.

Halo is a company that likes to pride itself on their integrity. (Their words not mine). What sort of integrity is it to give the impression your hardware is made in the USA when you are rebranding cheap Chinese entry-level products?
Pathetic & disgraceful.

 

[Philabos]

Glad I found this site.
Learning a lot.
I do like their Freedom Juice and cafe Mocha.
Obviously still working on the proper hardware.

Just to finish this story, I was promised a new coil but that never arrived after more than 2 weeks.
Just out of of curiosity I priced a new coil, $18 including shipping.
Went with. Kanger 1000 with an I16 clearomizer on top for less than the price of the coil. Works great.

Have the tritton II here aswell flooding was caused by not closing all airholes (ie the bottom one and top filling one)
I stopped using it since the only sub 0hm coil i had for it burned after a couple days i have the above one though (1.8 i believe) but mtl dosen't suit me well anymore and doing restricted dtl didn't give alot of flavor so i stored it in a container for at least a week now and it hasen't leaked,and the tank is pretty much full still.

TLDR: there's alot of people with issues on this tank,i for one don't buy aspire tanks anymore or recommend them since i've been more satisfied with what i used currently and had 0 issues from the get go.
