So I've been using the Triton for just shy of two weeks and I am so glad I moved up from the G6. Don't get me wrong, as far as 808's go, the G6 is the creme of the crop, and I still carry them with me to work every day, but the Triton has made vaping in general so much better.

My favorite aspect is that I can go an entire day on one charge. The G6 lasts me about 2-3 hours, and I have a bunch of them always charged and ready so I never went without, but I no longer have to constantly deal with having something charging and rotating batteries all day long.

My next favorite thing is the large tank, which only needs refilled a couple times a day versus the mini tanks that need filled several times a day. (yes, I vape a lot, much more than I smoked, its one of the downfalls of vaping, I can do it at my desk at work so I pretty much vape non-stop from wake-up to bedtime, lol) :vapor:

And lastly, the throat hit is so much better and consistent! I had a small learning curve at first and had some leakage and gurgling issues, but I think I've perfected my filling and cleaning technique now to where I'm getting good consistent performance all the time. Me thinks its time to stock up on a few more Triton batteries--you can never have enough back-ups! :2cool:

the Triton is Very nice to use coming from the G6, much more intense & pronounced flavor imo.
happy to see ya enjoying the Triton.....for me rite now is all about dialing in the Voltage to find the "Sweet Spot" on all my Juices....it's amazing how much better the flavor is when ya find it, been asking a few old-timers here for some advice to achieve my goal....i Vape all day long also and my T-Tanks are holding up well so far with minimum maintenance.....always looking forward to the next level of Satisfaction.
enjoy your day. :vapor:

I've been considering the VV version, but not sure if I'm "there" yet. It took months to realize I was ready to move up from the G6. I was turned off by the whole manual button aspect of the Triton, and I was scared of anything that involved replacing coils etc (too much reading here about the big complicated systems and all their pieces, parts and tinkering involved) but the Triton is an amazingly simple system. I am not a hobbyist or tinkerer, so that's important to me. And the button? Still would prefer to not have to use it, but I'm used to it now.

Amy87, It's so good to hear that you are enjoying your Triton!

I felt the same as you do. I wasn't sure if I was ready for the VV but had a battery issue in the beginning and Halo replaced my dead battery with a VV and I love it.

Simple to use and you can get some great flavor from your juices with it.

When you feel ready, go for it. You won't be sorry!

It's such a pleasure to have you with us.

I'm glad you are happy with the Triton. I looked today at a B&M at the other "stuff" out there. And I can't see it being any better, much less better "bang for the buck". From what I'm seeing, there isn't anything out there (single coil) that outperforms a Triton. And the dual coils do make more vapor/taste, and use a LOT more juice and power.

When you are ready, you'll get a VV. Until then, just enjoy!!!

Welcome Amy, and congrats!

I stuck with the G6 exclusively for 5 months, with no intention to upgrade to the Triton because I thought I was satisfied. After all, I wasn't smoking any analogs.

I kinda ordered a Triton on a whim, and when I got it and tried it out, it put the biggest s#!& eating grin on my face, lol! Haven't touched the G6's since.

I was charging 2-3 G6's a day, as opposed to charging the Triton once every other day, I went with the 1300mAh for that reason. I'm digging the Iridescence color(s), but it's not for everybody.

Have you nailed down your ADV flavors yet? Or are you still sampling?

*rubs crystal ball* I see a Variable Voltage in your future. :2c::evil:

I was a menthol smoker, and after trying a million different juices I kept going back to one particular vendors Candy Cane flavor, now thats pretty much all I vape. I add a drop of two of their straight menthol to each tank and its the perfect vape for me. (and yes I have tried all Halo's menthols, they're ok, but I find that no matter what I have on hand, I end up vaping my preferred juice and the rest just sits there, so now I just stick with that). I do now have my free Kringles Curse & Twisted Java that I got with reward points, but they will most likely be back-up emergency stock if my other runs out.

When you're ready to try the best Juice....

VOODOO, it will grab you and never let go :evil:

this commercial was brought to you by the Voodoo Doll

Actually, it was one of the first Halo juices I tried. I think it was a free sample that came with my kit last year when it first came out. It was uh...interesting, lol. I just end up back on my usual ADV juice no matter what else I try.

Oh, just saw a couple posts up you were a menthol smoker. Could explain why Voodoo didn't grab you.

It was ok, I honestly don't remember the exact taste now. I have experimented with sweet juices, like vanilla, and fruity type stuff, coffee flavors etc. None of it grabs me enough to stick with it. I do keep some vanilla custard on hand because I occasionally like it with morning coffee. And one of my recent freebies is Twisted Java, I'm hoping to like it enough to at least use in the morning, but I haven't tried it yet. I guess I just prefer a menthol/mint flavor, and knowing that as long as its in my tank I'll have an enjoyable experience.

As a fellow former menthol smoker, I HIGHLY recommend Halo Torque 56 with some form of menthol mixed with it. I mixed Torque with SubZero for quite some time! As my taste buds woke up, this eventually became too sweet because of the SubZero so I started mixing Torque with pure liquid menthol drops from another vendor. {NicQuid} The result is astoundingly close to what I used to smoke. ;)

Glad to hear you are enjoying the Triton! As a former menthol smoker, I have found I actually prefer the nonmenthol Halo flavors, with Kringle's Curse being the exception. Also, I upgraded to a VV battery within the first month of vaping; totally game changing and worth the investment, and I plan on buying another as neither of my original batteries from the starter kit see much use unless the VV is being charged.

I was the same as far as not going to the bigger tank system. I've used the Triton batteries since they came out with them and love them. I recently as in the last few weeks bought the Tritan tanks and I'm hooked. I do have to modify the air intake on mine but they are perfect for me now. I think I am most hooked on the ease of use. I don't have to tinker or worry about charging batteries or filling mini tanks all day. I have also converted my mom in the last week, so now she is hooked and waiting on her 2 shiny new Triton batteries and tanks to arrive. As far as juice, the only juice I have ever found in 3 years of vaping that I like for an adv is Mystic. I do tweek it a little by adding a little bit of SubZero and some plain VG but that is my adv. I do not buy anything else or vape anything else, again for me it goes back to the ease of use and it being hassle free thing.

Finally, another MYSTIC lover. No doctoring necessary for me, as a former (avid) menthol smoker, I like it straight.

That and Southern Classic is all I need, 'round the clock.

Gotta love these top coils.

I do notice some of the juices I have taste a little burned or just don't have the flavor they should, does the VV help with that?

Absolutely!

Until you get a VV, just vape the juices that taste a little burned towards the last half of your battery's discharge. And try the muted flavors fresh off the charger. The voltage isn't that different, but it makes a big difference in flavor and vape. (4.2 fresh, 4.1 to 3.9 for most, 3.8-3.7 last, then blink to charge)

When you can really notice this effect, then you are ready for a VV.

Belgian Cocoa needs a lower voltage for me. I'll now only vape it with my VV.
