How Soon is too Soon?

[bigdawgbeav]

So I'm about a month in to my vaping experience. I have successfully quit smoking and feel so much better. I started on a Halo G6 and next thing I knew I had amassed extra mini tanks, then found other (bigger) tanks that work. Then more ejuice keeps rolling in...

So is it too soon to upgrade to the Halo Triton? I had considered starting with that but at the time I didn't know if vaping was going to work for me, so I opted not to spend the extra money. I've already spent more than 6 cartons of cigarettes just on what I have.

And before someone asks "why the triton", it's the next logical step as all of my clearos are 808 and will work on the Triton batteries. I don't know if I'm ready for the Triton VV though...

Did I just replace 1 addiction with another? Should I give the G6's more time and maybe upgrade in a few months?

My advice is to go here and look at their starter kits:

I asked basically the same questions as you and a member here directed me to this website. I picked up a starter kit and have been happily vaping away ever since. You seriously can't go wrong with this kit.

As for trading addictions. I worry about that too, but then almost all of my juice, with certain exceptions, is nic free. If you feel your vaping too much try to reduce the amount of nic you take in. From what I've read here most of the nic absorbtion happens in the mouth and is way less than smoking. It has something to do with the size of vapor molecules vs smoke molecules.

If I were you I'd go with the VV Triton. That's where you'll see a big difference in your vape. Otherwise, the Triton is just a bigger battery.

BTW, you'll probably need a new charger with either Triton. But, I'm not sure as I don't use their products.

yes. you do need the specific Triton usb charger, but I believe the wall plug is the same.

I've been happily using the Triton for about a month and half. love it.

The way I see it is if I can afford a new toy, I buy it. I've got more vape gear than I probably need, but I enjoy vaping and I've still saved money over smoking, plus I feel a lot better too.

I started off wanting to save money, now I've got a new hobby as well

If you think you're going to wind up going VV eventually anyway I would just go straight to it rather than spending money on an intermediary step. As far as whether it's time to upgrade that comes down to two questions. Do you really want it? Can you afford it? If both of those are yes, then go for it.

I say go for it. You will be more satisfied in the long run. Good Luck and VAPE ON

IMO it's never "too early" to upgrade - but then again, I'm a gadget/tech freak. Within a 3-week span of starting, I went from a Greensmoke cigalike kit to eGo batteries to vv Spinner batteries to a ProVari...with a lot of different clearos/tanks/cartos/juice thrown in as well.

The only disadvantage to early upgrading is that as you learn more, your wants/needs may change and you may end up spending a lot of money (as many of us do) transitioning through different devices. The good side is that you end up with a lot of backups and/or stuff you can gift to friends who take up vaping.

Going to VV isn't some monumentally difficult transition - it can provide you with a better vape and is pretty easy to understand....start low and gradually turn the voltage up until it starts tasting burnt, then back off until you find your sweet spot. If you were a noobie who didn't even know how to fill/attach a clearo and were asking about going to a mechanical mod with a rebuildable atomizer, it would be a different story because there's a significant learning curve involved....but going from a fixed voltage battery to VV isn't rocket science.

I was thinking more along the lines of the equipment purchasing and upgrading not nicotine addiction... but thank you for the reply.

Do I want it - yes
can i afford it - yes
Will I have to tell my wife - yes
will she give me a dirty look and question my sanity - yes

However I could use it as an excuse to turn the G6 stuff over to her to make her quit smoking....

also consider that even if you went with and ego or 510 threaded device there are adaptors that can be bought to make 808 stuff fit. SO I would say look around and don't limit yourself to one brand.

That is true... I was considering brand loyalty for now as well as all the major reviewers singing the Triton praises.... decisions, decisions...

I would suggest getting off of the 808 stuff as soon as possible. Not having eGo/510 gear severely limits your available options.

Get an adapter so you can use the stuff you still have, but in the long term eG0/510 threading is where you probably want to be.

Upgrade when you're comfortable with it.

I showed a friend the Halo Triton system, she purchased one and has been enjoying using it to be cigarette free for a few months now. She is happy with it, and it's all she needs.

I began with FINs cig-alikes, got the Triton 2 weeks later and used that for a month before deciding to grab a 510 device for the future. The VV Triton wasn't available at the time, and so I went with the MVP. But I still use my Triton Tanks everyday as well.

Nothing wrong with trading in your old nasty addiction for a new healthy one. Your wife might kill you, but atleast the cigs won't.
