Help this Vapbaby!! Thinking Halo Triton, but heck if I know? Also, dripping in Triton!

How is a Halo Triton different from other eGos?

I thought I covered that?

 

[BigBen2k]

This kit is the best bang for your buck I know of, I often recommend it.

Actually, the Triton kit is cheaper, and has a few more accessories...
edit: but it's not VV

How is a Halo Triton different from other eGos?

They are a custom battery for Halo, not a re-branded off-the-shelf product. They seemingly last forever and charge quickly. The tanks they chose work extremely well with the battery and their juices. It is an ideal setup for the beginner or just someone who wants easy, trouble-free vaping. Watch the reviews of the Triton by Smoken Joey or the Spinfuel write-up, as well as their follow-up.

Spot on, mate!

Halo Triton batteries are not regulated, meaning that there's no extra circuit bit, chewing battery power, trying to keep your vaping experience, rock steady. Triton batteries charge up to 4.2 volts, and will drop to 3.7 volts before they let you know (blink) that it's time to recharge. By the time the vapor gets cold (to me), the light comes on.

The charger completely takes care of my 900 mAh battery in 60-90 minutes, off of *any* USB port (whether it's my PC, laptop, laptop power adapter, wall charger, car, etc).

I apologize in advance, but I don't see unregulated equating with "rock steady." A regulated battery fires at a specific voltage and produces that voltage until it can't any longer. An unregulated battery, as you said, comes off the charger firing at ≈4.2v and drops as the battery discharges.

I use unregulated in some of my mods, and if I put a 2.0Ω atty on one, I will get ≈8.2w (at 4.2v), then dropping to ≈6.8 (when it gets to 3.7v), then about 5.4w (3.3v) when it gives up the ship. If I'm going to have that kind of power variation, I prefer a variable voltage device so I can control it.

I'm sorry. I'll go back and reread the posts.

I like the simplicity of the Triton battery system, and it fits my modest needs. Less bits that can go wrong.

I might pick up a VV sometime, but I think I'd invest in an APV before forking over $30 for a VV.

Hello again Kitty! Thanks!

And one more thought! VapBaby, if you like small clearos, I recommend mini T3--that's actually my favorite in the Kanger BCC lineup! Sun Vapers has them on sale right now. They are really nice!

That's what I said!

It drops from 4.2, to 3.7. The difference is barely noticeable, but it's there. It works for me, on 2.2 Ohm coils.

You want me to run the numbers?

She's right, you know!

My problem with set voltage batteries is that you never really know what your voltage is at any given moment.

Well, it drops from 4.2 to 3.7v and then keeps dropping to the cutoff point--somewhere at 3.3 or 3.2v.

 

[BigBen2k]

No, it's a lithium battery; it cuts off at 3.7.

I think Sun Vapers are OOS. I was thinking about the baby too, but someone recently told me that they are the same height as a CE4(?) or something similar that is common. I've never seen one in person, so I don't know. All the others I could think of are slim (like the Nano), but not short (except for a carto tank, like I'm using at the moment that is ≈1.5" not including the drip tip).

I was looking earlier (GMTA ) and litecigsusa has the baby: Kanger Mini T3 EgO Bottom Coil Clearomizer Tank System

Lol! I've become very sensitive to power drop since I got a Reo(!!!!) for my vapevesary! Fresh battery + 1.5Ω atty , the "yeah" goes down as the battery discharges.

ETA: But then, I'm using an IMR, instead of a Li-ion, so it goes lower than 3.7v. That must be the difference....

Here's a baby T3 next to its big brother:

I got mine from Sun Vapers, but I see that LiteCigs carries them also.

Mini Vapeonly is somewhere in between the Baby T3 and T3--I didn't much care for it. It was fine at the very beginning, but it didn't last. I think Kangers are better quality--or maybe it's just my experience.

Li-ions also drop all the way down to 3.2 or so as they discharge--to my knowledge.

That is so squeeee! I can't remember now what the person was comparing the Baby to, but I must have misunderstood. That is so squeeee!

BigBen, most lithium (li-ion) batteries used in ecigs drop all the way down to 3.2 or lower before cutting off. However, most of the vaping is done at ~3.7v.

 

[The Ocelot]

Sorry Kitty!

Don't be sorry! I know sometimes people think I'm serious, when I'm not. I really must find better smilies.
