Faulty Halo Triton tank?

[Athenakate]

Hey everyone, I hope you can help. I have had my Triton for a while now and I love it. Starting today though all I am getting are dry hits. No vapor whatsoever. I have tried everything I can think of to fix this. I've checked to see how tight I have it screwed on, cleaned it, checked the condom to make sure its not too far down. The battery is charged and is not flashing like it would if it was faulty. Just can't get anything but a dry hit. HELP! Thanks in advace.

Welcome to ECF! I'm not too familiar with that device. One question I would have, is if you checked/cleaned/or put in a new coil?

 

[Athenakate]

Yes, I cleaned it.

Did you replace the coil or checked that the coil is screwed down properly.

 

[Warpigs]

Yes, I cleaned it.

I would just replace it with a new coil then.

 

[Athenakate]

I didn't replace the coil, as it is a new one already. I checked to see if it was screwed in correctly, and not screwed in too tight or too loose. :-/

Could be a dud, I have had duds once in a while. You should try to replace it with a new 1 and see if you get the same results.

I don't think it is even heating up. I hold the button down and nothing.

 

[Athenakate]

I'll try that. Just sucks haha, I live about 45 mins away from the nearest vape shop lol

Tip the tank such that the wicks are submerged in juice. Take a couple of dry puffs. Take short puffs until vapor production starts.
The above failing to correct the issue, replace the atomizer head.

Hi, hope I can help as a one year Halo Triton user.

It's simple. It's either the tank or the coil.

Put that coil on another tank. (Please tell me you have another tank, and another battery!!) If it doesn't fire, the coil is shot. If it does fire, then that first tank is broken. Most likely the center conductor wire broke.

If you have a multimeter, or a techy friend with one, they'd be able to tell you in 3 minutes. You should have continuity from the base of the tank to the side of the inner chimney, and continuity from the bottom center button to the center of the chimney.

The coil can be tested as well. Go from the center bottom to the side. It should be between 2 to 3 ohms, depending on which coil you have. The standard is 2.2 to 2.4 ohms.

Problems might happen if you twist stuff together too tight. Remember, everything Halo is just snug. Don't tighten it like it was a lug nut!

Replacement coils can be inexpensive. I got them from VapingMe for a third of the price of Halo's.

I been using them for a month and can detect no difference, except I could buy 3 times more for the price!

I have not found a vape store near me that carried these coils. And you might get a dud.

Check out Joe13's excellent thread on Halo coils in the Halo section.
