I'm right there with you on the nautilus tanks I had several of the mini and full size. For the past couple of years they have been my all day drivers. I too took a liking to the sub tanks and they replaced a few but I have a couple of juices that only tasted good in the nautilus at lower watts not to mention I missed that tighter draw and mouth to lung hit. My biggest complaint with the nautilus was the way the glass sealed to that base silicone gasket. Over time you have to keep getting it tighter and tighter to seal and it becomes difficult to loosen it. Im really wanting this triton to become my new nautilus. After a little breakin period it's performing well now with the 1.8 ohm coil and with my own drip tip there is no wobbling. That top airflow piece with the heat sink gets a little messy with juice even though I keep it closed. I'm still hopeful for this tank just can't wait till the coils are more readily available. I'm curious how good that rebuildable coil will perform.

BTW, Sweet Vapes has the 1.8 coils in stock for $14 for the five pack.

I don't have the Triton, but I have Atlantis V1 tanks, and a Mega...which I use ALOT now...
I would assume the Triton has a similar design.
Every time I refill, I remove the coil from the base, wipe off the exterior of the coil, thoroughly rinse and dry the interior of the base, and roll up a square of TP and slide it through the chimney, working all the way around the sides.
If the tank is empty enough, I rinse and dry the tank/chimney assembly.
Once I put it all back together and refill, I roll up another square of TP and slide it all the way down into the coil...spin it around and leave it there for five minutes or so.
After doing this, I get no spit back for about the first half of the tank.
When I start to get spit back again, I repeat the process of 'roll up another square of TP and slide it all the way down into the coil'.
I use mechs, and I've noticed that a fresh batt will also cut down on spit back.

Man that's a huge amount of wasted time and effort.

When I refill my Starre I unscrew the base, fill the tank, and then screw the base back on. It's never leaked, never spit, never given a burnt hit. The ONLY thing I've ever had to do is give the outside a quick wipe-down if I've been a little messy and accidentally got some of the juice between the base and tank pieces and it squeezes out the seam as I tighten the base on.

What you're doing sounds like a real PITA. I don't even go through that much trouble rewicking my Squape R.

What drip tip are you using? Out of my batch I could only find one that's tight and it's super wide bore.
This is the one I'm using and its snug as a bug.

Lol! Well, Aspire tanks gurgle and have issues with spit back.
If they're not taken care of properly, the vaping experience will not be as enjoyable.
Therefore, the time and effort is, in fact, not wasted.
I don't own a Starre tank, so, I won't comment on it's maintenance...and I'm fairly confident you don't own an Aspire sub tank...
It's actually not that much trouble at all, once you know what you're doing.
I'd say from start to finish, the whole process takes me about five minutes...obviously not including the five minute sit period.
Quite a bit less than the cumulative amount of work, when dripping all day.

I received my Triton yesterday and other than a mysterious leak when I was filling it for the 3rd time, I love it. It pairs up nicely on my Sig 75. It took me a little while to get the air flow and wattage adjusted to what I like though. I used the stock .4 ohm coil, primed it and filled it with 50/50 VG/PG. The recommended wattage for the coil is 25 to 35 watts. I started out at 30 watts and got a lot of spit back (okay, maybe I over primed the coil) I reduced the wattage to 25 and still spit back, so down to 20 and I vaped a tank at 20 before refilling and cranking the wattage to 25. Worked good, a little gurgling but no spit back. Maybe the coils just need to broken in. I have tried to duplicate the leak issue but without success, there may have been some juice build up in the airflow base from initially priming the coil that leaked out the air flow vents. The guide does not say to close the bottom airflow when filling but maybe we should? I am loving the airflow on the drip tip as it dissipates heat so I don't get hot lips. I wish we could take it apart, but all in all a great tank. It is a Thirsty Tank, be prepared to use a lot of juice. I DIY so no problem for me. Now I want to pick up the RBA and try some TC on it.

The way it closes off the coil/chimney part of the system from the juice tank part when in fill mode should mean that makes no difference.

The flooding I've had never occurred during filling. I don't think the coil is flooded initially, but after a number of inhalations. I've concluded its caused by a combination of vaping style, airflow settings, PG:VG ratio and not using enough watts. Perhaps more likely to happen with a newer coil too.

So far I think I can avoid flooding on the 1.8ohm coil by using juice with a minimum 50% VG, wattage between 15-20, minimal base airflow and no tip airflow. I don't sub-ohm enough have any suggestions for settings in that mode.

I can't comment on the 'flooding overnight' phenomenon because its never happened to me, so I haven't needed to set my triton to fill mode when I sleep (which is a workaround for this issue).

Are there any other top fill tanks besides Triton out there?
The Freemax Starre Pro is top fill, although if you read the comments about it, it seems that it is much more prone to leaking. The Silo Beast is another one that is top fill.

All of these tanks have amazing flavor and are top fill. They are pricey, though. With my builds (1.1Ω contact coils), the Calix seems to produce the most vapor, for me - if that is of any interest to you (a cloud chaser, I am not).
I like the Triton as it is inexpensive, will have an RBA option (soon, hopefully) and with the AFC fairly tight produces great flavor. I carry one as a backup when I'm out because I can pop in a prebuilt coil if something goes wrong with whatever RTA I'm using. I'm usually a 10-15w vaper, but I've found 18-20w produces the best flavor on the Triton on a P3 or 25-35w on one of my box mods using the stock coils.

Best Regards,
F2V

I have noticed the same. The leaking has never been during the filling process. It occurred to me after vaping on it a bit. I am not sure if I can blame it on the tank itself. When I got the Triton, I put a vAir-T nickel coil into it. This coil has an adjustable juice flow and I had it opened up a bit, and I was using a 60VG juice. It leaked twice on me. The leak wasn't so bad that the entire tank emptied out, but a good portion of the juice (probably about 1 dropperful) did. I switched out the coil with the Vaporshark nickel Atlantis coil and I have gone through 6 tanks and not a single leak. I also did start closing off the air flow control before filling.

No it did not leak when I was filling it, but it was leaking from the bottom airflow. After a day of having to close off the airflow as much as I could to stop the leaks, I got over my shinyitis real quick. I also noticed the juice around the bottom of the atomizer head is cooking to a really dark brown and when I opened it up I found cooked juice flooding the airflow basin. I am using the same juice at the same watts as my subtank, the only difference is the subtank is .5 ohm coil and the Tritan is .4 ohm coil.
I give this one a 2 out of 5 rating with a point deducted for non-accessible tank for cleaning, a point deducted for leaking, and another point deducted for not including the RBA with the tank. Plus points for the top fill and for the drip tip/heatsink airflow design, I love the way it directs heat away from your lips, but I am wondering if this is affecting the vacuum causing a leaking issue. I am giving the Triton another chance this evening after cleaning the flow basin for the 2nd time, but I believe it will be cleaned and moved into my sale or trade bin.

I took off the .4 ohm head and put on the 1.8 ohm at 12 watts. So far so good, no leaks, but since I bought this for sub ohm vaping it's not really what I was looking for. Maybe the .4 ohm coil was bad, I will get some of the Atlantis Nickel coils and hopefully get this tank where I can use it.
Update: After 4 hours and 2 fills with the 1.8 coil, I have had no issues of leaking and no cooked juice sitting in the flow basin or around the base of the atomizer. I was also having a slight delay between firing the mod and the atomizer maybe 1/3rd. of a second. Since I changed the atomizer head that problem has gone away also. I'm thinking the problem is with the .4 ohm coil. The 1.8 ohm head is a little different than the .4 ohm, taller even. I'm going to head to my local B&M in the morning and pick up some regular Atlantis Coils and see how they work while I'm waiting for my nickel heads to come in.

Jesus. That looks like .....

How sharp are those edges on the tank?

Do you really think Aspire manufactures products that look like that?

That tank is way a shinier than authentics


Seriously, when you opened the package an saw that tank, did you really think that is an authentic tank that a manufacturer is trying to is try to sell for $50?


That is a counterfeit item. It is not a clone.

A counterfeit item is a product that claims or strongly alludes to the item being authentic. This can be in the form of particular markings that should be unique to the authentic product, or by using identical packaging - and in the case of either; omitting the fact in accompanying materials that it isn't authentic.

Did your tank come with a security check? If so, did it work?

I wouldn't be Surprised if it did. Thats how a good one runs.

Kangertech has had their scratch and check hacked a bunch of times. Last year when a friend of mine entered the code from his authentic, the system said it had already been registered 275 times.


I very been vaping since 2012, and learned one must be very careful when buying an authentic product.

Buying big brand authentic products online is a bad Idea. That .... is all fake.

They are selling products at a price less the wholeSale.

Even from local stores.





I'm sorry that's what you think Aspire sells.

This is the best I've ever owned. The amount of vapor is crazy.

No leaking. No blowback. Just massive clouds.

It is worth every sent of $50.

I even bought another one last night.

I'm not sure where this is coming from - it appears that you are quoting Major911, but I don't see that in his post listed above

If you are saying this, then I'm not sure where you are purchasing online, but I to make a blanket statement that "Buying big brand authentic products online is a bad idea. That .... is all fake" is erroneous (at best). You may have had a bad experience online - I don't know. I can say that my experiences have been really great. ECF has a list of reputable vendors and the members that have purchased from them recommend them.

If you are going to purchase online - do your research. Check if the "store" has a reputation - google (or the search engine of your choice) can be your friend. The BBB is also a resource that can help in determining the reputation of a website.
