Halo Triton

[stevegmu]

I should have bought different color tanks to help differentiate the coils from the standard ones... I tried writing the name of the juice on the tanks with Sharpies, but they smear after a while. Now I use labels I cut down and stick on the tanks. Guess I can include the coil type on the label, as well.

 

[PeteC2]

I did get different color tanks. Good idea though it is, I just can't stand putting labels on my tanks. What I need is a clearomizer "board" where I can label the clearomizer holders instead like they do at my local vape shop.

 

[stevegmu]

I like to grab a handful of batteries and tanks when I'm out, so I don't have to keep switching out tanks, so the labels come in handy.

Steve, I think that it is a good idea. The problem is that I am just a bit too "OCD" to tape labels to my tanks

 

[stevegmu]

I may have to invest in a label maker...

 

[JR 137]

I'd go way too crazy with a label maker. I'd be using way too many different fonts, sizes and colors to figure out which works best for me. Everyone's got their weaknesses, and that would be one of mine. I'm way too OCD.

 

[ed101z]

I'm confused JR. One would think having an OCD would compel you to be neatly organized. Sorta like a carpenter having a hammer.

 

[JR 137]

I get the confusion. Here's a trip inside my sick mind...

The labels would have to be a specific size
- They'd have to wrap around the bottom silver part of the tank without covering the air holes and without the ends overlapping
They'd have to be transparent
They'd have to go on perfectly straight, and no bubbles or wrinkles
What font would I use?
What size font would fit without being too big or small?
Do I use color?

I'd go through tons of labels before I found out which one works right. That means a bunch of tanks because the old labels didn't come off cleanly
Then I'd probably get bored with the labels and need to change them up
If I label the large tanks, I'd have to label the mini tanks too
- Then we're back to square one
If I bought a label maker, just about everything in my house would get labeled

The juices I regularly vape are different colors - Menthol Ice is pink, Tiki Juice is red, HX3 is brown

I avoid the whole never ending fiasco but not getting a label maker to begin with.

More neurosis...
I have 4 cigar boxes I use to hold my stuff in. 3 of them are different sizes
I keep all my liquids in the tallest one. I've reprganized them within the box countless times in an attempt to get the most efficient use out of it
- The 30ml bottles are in the front
- The 7ml bottles were in the middle, lined up in 2 rows of 3, front row being stuff I like more than the ones in the back, favorite one being on the right, 2nd fav in the middle, and so on
- Then the menthol sampler arrived
- That went in the middle to keep everything in place
- Arranged those bottles in decreasing menthol strength, clockwise - SubSero, Menthol Ice, etc. then Kringle's Kurse (It's more mint than menthol), then HX3 so I know where the pure menthols start again

I've been through what's in the other boxes too. At first, the spare battery, charger and cone went in one box, and the in-use battery with tank attached went in another box along with filled tanks

Then the spare battery and charger went in the box with the filled tanks. Then I realized if one of the tanks fell over and juice leaked out, stuff could get damaged. They went back to the original box. Then I got more tanks and coils in the mail. Those went in one box, the charger and extra battery went in another. Where do I put the cone?

I'll stop there. You should see my closet and dresser. They haven't changed since I got my system down about 10 years ago. My wife goes no where near my stuff.

Welcome to my nightmare. Remember... You asked.

My twist battery and low resistance coils just showed up. Now I'm going to have to rearrange everything.

 

[stevegmu]

Mine also arrived today; haven't been able to play with them yet.
I store filled tanks in the sample tins, doubling up the foam, so only the tops of the mouthpieces stick out. I'm thinking of getting little pins with flag-like labels to stick in the foam next to each tank, displaying the name of the juice in each.

 

[JR 137]

Not a bad idea at all. I was thinking about how to separate the tanks with higher resistance coils from the ones with standard coils. I now have two tanks of my 3 main flavors with no way to really tell which tank has which coil.

I was thinking of using the foam from the sampler tin. Which flavor is which isn't the issue; it's which coil is which. Knew I should have gotten colored tanks.

 

[stevegmu]

Just ordered some blue tanks to go with the blue VVs.

 

[ed101z]

Thanks JR and Steve for sharing the VV adventures. I might have to order some in a few weeks. Please post more experiences on the 2.2-2.4 coils (ordered 2 packs myself) holding up to the voltage changes, and juice usage.

 

[SeniorBoy]

Excuse me please if this is a little off topic and Moderator can move if you so desire.

I'm on about day 6 of my Triton Tanks (NOT VV) and thought it would be helpful to share tips on filling these tanks with Halo ejuice. Brand new tank with the default coils. Freshly charged 650. Filled with Prime 15 which has just been sitting for about a week. Shake the 30 ML like mad. Filled to 2.4ML. Snugness on the tip and coil thingy. Wipe and clean my mess with a cue tip and tissue. Wash my hands again!

Press the button for a few seconds so I hear the crackling sound. YUK! First hits are way to harsh for me. Let the tank stand upright for a few minutes while the coils soak up the love. Continue to burn/press the button for 5 seconds a few times but not vaped. Must have done this crackling 3 times. Spun the tank a few times and watched the air pockets perform their love. BINGO! Just the way I like it. Label and sharpie and I'm ready to go!

When I fill a new tank, I usually let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Not sure if it makes a difference, though.
I like the snap crackle and pop. Is this unique to Halo, or do all tanks do this?

Most,but not all tanks that I've tried make some crackling noise, especially when the wicks/coils are new. Same thing goes for a feshly recharged battery, as the voltage is initially higher so the coil burns hotter.

Bottom coils tend to be less so, simply because they are at the bottom of the tank/clearo, so you hear less of that.

 

[Myth Sammich]

The video was very helpul! Thank you! And regarding the charger, yeah, mine is dim as well. WHICH I PREFER. Too many other chargers have lights that are way too bright and distracting, especially at night. The Triton system is a 4.9 out of 5 for me! (The .1 could be earned back if they coils were mounted lower in the tank.)

I'm pretty happy with my Triton so far. I'm only a few days in but I mean I love the tank system and the ability to try new stuff out with cartos. I got the Johnson creek Vea, which is nice but the vapor output (even with their Red Oaak all-VG juices I've tried) don't come close to this bad boy.

 

[bigt]

Hey guys I just rinsed out the remnants of a "Gummi Bear" flavor from MBV. Delish! Anyway, I wanted to try a new flavor in the tank so I threw out the old coil, rinsed the tank and mouthcap under warm water, and left to dry. Here's the problem... it still stinks like Gummi Bear.

Should I bother trying to put a different flavor in or will the gummi bear bleed through? Anything else I can do to get rid of the old flavoring in my tank?

 

[SeniorBoy]

I use the Wallgreens house brand of denture cleaner. It's designed to work with plastic and works for me. Make sure you remove the platic cover at the end of the atamiser/wick thingy as per the video. That's a trap for old juice smells and is plastic along with the tank and tip.

Empty tank and remove wick thingy and remove plastic wick cover cap. Very quick wash of all parts and wick in hot water swirling the water inside the tank.
Plop plop in the denture cleaner which is a tablet with warm or hot water. It's already dissolved in a platic container. Drop all the parts into the solution. They sit for about 15 minutes till the water reaches room temp. Pull out and quick wash and let dry for a couple of hours. Way faster than the great video.
