A 650 mah, a tank and a pack of coils.
Very nice indeed. I'm enjoying this. I DIY my juice.
It charged from 2.0 volts to 4.2 in less than an hour. Excellent.
I got the small cone for my carts since I have many of those.
Only 5 1/2 inches with the tank. Nice. The manual button is very comfortable.
I'm using 2.2-2.4 ohm coils, plenty of vapor and taste. Beats the LR carts.

OK, the 650 it was dead soon after I got home from work (driving an hour total, two 15 min breaks, a couple of quick breaks and a half hour lunch).
But it charged in an hour so that if fine. I'll probably get a bigger battery though, or just keep my G6 near by.

I have the 900mAh battery and it lasts me from the morning to at least halfway through the next day, but carrying a spare g6 battery and mini tank is what i do as well just incase. I just keep it in my case with a couple of bottles of juice :)

Welcome Goodrat! So glad you are enjoying your Triton.

I vape alot too Diva! While I really like the size of the 650mah and the way it feels in my hand, it just doesn't last long enough for me. I have two 1300mah, two 900mah and two 650mah so it works out, but I won't order anything below a 900mah in the future.

I have to vape alot, I have a ton of juice to get thru! I noticed that some of it says to use within 6 months so I am organizing so that I get the old used up. Now I know you won't believe this, but I have this problem in that I keep buying alot of new juices and forgetting about using up the old. You didn't know that about me, did you? LOL!

Anyway, gotta work on that!

Triton is boss. My 650mah lasts me all day. I used to smoke about a pack a day... unless I'm at the pub. I also have a 900mah variable voltage and that lasts almost 2 days. Love how fast they charge also. Get your self the 900mah vv, it's awesome. I really hope Halo comes out with some different tanks, like a Triton protank would be nice.

I think I need a 900. The 1300 may be a bit long. The 900 should last me all day. One thing I noticed, If I charge for an hour and get a solid blue charger light. (Mine is either red, red flicker or blue so I don't know what "solid blue" is opposed to). It definitely does not last as long when charged for that hour as charging over night. I wish blue meant actually charged.
I don't think I need a variable voltage. Just pick the ohms that works out the best. Plus the VV is a little longer. If the wattage was variable, then that would be helpful. Then it would self adjust the voltage for vapor consistency.

Solid blue as opposed to blue/red flicker. Maybe steady blue light is a better phrase.

And once it goes steady blue, I leave it on for a while. You are right, the last part of the charge is the "saturation phase", which gives the battery it's capacity, or longest discharge capability.

And the only way to pick the ohms that works out the best is through trial and error? With the VV, just a little twist, and you can zero in on the perfect vape. Plus, while 4.0 was perfect an hour ago, now seems too harsh, dial down to 3.8 and we're smilin again.

Last, the VV is regulated voltage. Set it to 3.9v, and it will deliver 3.9v for the entire discharge. A standard battery is 4.2 off the charger, 4.1 to 3.9 for most of the time, then 3.8 or 3.7 till it blinks. This voltage drop really changes the flavor for most people through the length of the discharge. The VV doesn't present this problem. The VV downsides? It only lasts as long as a standard 650mAh, yet is longer than a 1300.

I have a 900, a 900 VV and a 1300 passthrough (which isn't sold at the Halo site but can be bought at authorized resellers). The 1300 (with extra circuitry at the end for the passthrough) is the same length as the VV

Wow! You people sure vape a lot. I have never spent a Triton 650 battery in a day. :vapor::vapor::vapor::toast:

Yep. I will have 3 650's as of today when my new Iridescent arrives, and I'm already wishing I had ordered the 900. Don't get me wrong, the 650 is a great improvement over the G6 as far as charge lifespan, but I'm still having to rotate between the two I have just to get through the day. I was a pack-a-day smoker, but vaping is different because I'm not limited to when I can do it. It starts with my morning coffee, goes with me to work where I vape at my desk all day, then sits beside me here at home where I vape all evening. I don't think the poor thing goes 5 minutes at any point in the day without me puffing on it. With cigarettes I at least had to stop while at work except for a couple breaks and lunch, and I didn't smoke in the house so even in the evenings I was limited to whenever I had a chance to go outside.

Non-stop vaping going on over here! :vapor:

Well thinking about it more, if the voltage is regulated, there is no need to calculate the wattage. If the coil resistance doesn't change while using it, the wattage will stay constant. So knowing the wattage number is irrelevant. Watts= voltage squared divided by ohms.
It's like knowing the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

I have 2 1300s and a VV. I don't find the 1300s too large. They feel nice in my hand and fit in my purse nicely. I prefer them over the VV, to me it just feels different in the hand. The 650s my son has always felt too small in my hand so I knew I wanted a larger one. With the 1300 I wrap 4 fingers around base and my index finger is right at the button... life is good. Son likes the VV so if I ever decide I need it, will have top go search his room for it.

Yeah, it is basic Ohm's Law stuff. I can do Ohm's Law but not C and F :)

Agreed, minus the purse thing. ;)

The 1300 is the perfect size, it's as long as my fist is wide so it fits like a glove. It's quite a bit lighter than the VV too, and the Iridescence is even lighter without the rubber texture wrap.

I feel like the 400, 650, and 900 are pointless when there's only a few dollars price difference, and you get ~2 or 3 times the battery life in a unit that can still easily fit in your pocket... (or purse).

Plus you get maximum battery life. 2+ full days on a charge for me. That's a lot of puffs. And you're guaranteed to find a color you love.

If it weren't for the fact that the VV is regulated, I would use my 1300 more than I do, it's my go-to travel unit though.
