Just got my first e-cig (Triton) lots of questions

[DaveOno]

Good for you.

A shorted coil can cause no end of problems. Normally, the battery just blinks to let you know something is wrong (not the same blink pattern to let you know it's time to recharge).

Ben, question. Remember a member called Garemen(?)? He had a similar problem. His batteries would just shut down, and only by putting it on the charger could the bat again fire. Just like this one.
Now, I haven't had a shorted coil, but I can short the bat, just to test. It blinks 4 or 5, then works fine, no reset on the charger necessary. But Garamen's and Penguins didn't blink.

Could the circuitry be detecting something different? Have you heard of any other case like this? I could rig a rheostat or an attenuator and test it, but thought I'd ask you first. Thanks!

I think I actually remember that about Garemlin's batts as well Dave... I'll see if I can't dig up the old posts tomorrow morning.

Tapped out on a phone... I think

It sucks. I thought I had to send it back to Halo to when it happened to me. Got me upset to Cuz I just got it a few days earlier. Don't worry about being a noob. We were all there at some point in time . Glad to hear you got it fixed though. Extra tanks and coils will always come in handy.

Also, Penguins, don't sweat it. Considering you've been off the nails for just a few days, haven't learned all the little tricks yet, and really wanted some subzero, I think we all understand. We're a family here, and quick to help.

Hang in there!

Personally and IMO, I think it's a manufacturing flaw. Some behave "properly" and reset themselves, while others need to be slapped on a charger for a couple of seconds to be "reset". either way, it's not fatal.

the OPs batteries are faulty, they don't blink when they run low on power, and they don't blink when they are shorted. I have some batteries exactly the same, they don't last as long as properly functioning batteries, too.

Thanks, BigBen and Chesty. We will hafta remember the advise to throw it on a charger.

And I agree. Those batteries are different, and could indeed be faulty, as Chesty suggests.

I would order a new battery, or two, asking Halo to verify that they work (maybe upgrade to 900, 1300, or VV). When I get them, I'd then send the old ones back for a credit. If I was in his shoes.

But I wouldn't go without. If I lost all my gear, I'd run to the mini mart, but I'd get a Logic, or (God forbid) a Blu.

But buying a pack of cancer sticks will never happen!!!!!

Cinder informed me that the gentlemen from CS that I dealt with has only been employed by them for about a week or so... so I'll cut him some slack... I'm sure between each answer he was calling his manager to make sure he wasn't making a mistake...

Also, the closest halo reseller to me is fairly far away... but I talked to the guy who owns my nearby smoke shop, and he said he will order me Halo products and he will gurantee anything he gets me for life. He is a really nice guy, he even offerd me a job while I was there.

If AutoCAD is anything like software programming, choose the customers.

nnooooo, i'd take AutoCAD anyday over customers. of course i'd take ProE or SolidWorks over AutoCAD. and i'd take bacon, booze, and bewbs over those two.

So I'm trying to get around to making my next order. Well, first, I'm going to try and build up enough points on reviews to maybe get a free 30ml of something (probly sub-z), but as I do the math in my head I will probably come up a 100-200 points short of the 1000. Can points from my next order be applied to this, so I don't have to make a second order and pay shipping on the free bottle, or am I just going to have to take a hit and pay the shipping? If not, is it possible to contact halo and see if they will just allow me to make two seperate purchases but ship them in the one package?

Also, as it sits, my order is shaping up to be a VV bat, two or three tanks, one pack of replacement coils, and a few extra tips (it seems they are out of stock at the moment). Oh, and of course, some more juice. Any comments or additional suggestions on this? Should I grab some other stuff just in case?

 

[DaveOno]

Peng,
You are in it for the long haul, right? Don't worry about the halo points. Next order, throw it in. Cause next order is gonna be, what, 6 more days?

 

[Penguins17]

Long haul.... I'm not sure, I'm at 18mg now, and the plan was to work my way down and stop altogether, but, I am loving this so much I don't know if I want to quit once I get down to 0mg. I guess your right on that, though. There will for sure be another order at some point, the shipping fees are not going to make or break me so I guess I'll just wait anyway.

 

[CafeDigitalDiva]

Yeah, I just put in my Halo order tonight. Gonna try Prime this time with my Beloved Tribeca, and Torque! I did the thing you said Dave and got a whopping 400 pts!

 

[Penguins17]

Hey so, everyone talks about using the mini tanks to try flavors instead of having to fill a whole tank, do they fit on the triton or just the g6?

 

[DaveOno]

They fit on both!

The mini is good for the clearer juices. Belgium or voodoo not so much.

And I'm not in too much of a rush to lower the nic. Most of my juices are 12, and I got a few at 6. I'm thinking the 6 isn't as tasty. The Belgian seemed better at 12. Next order, one of the samples will be Belgian at 12. And I got a little prime at 18 just in case I have to fly, and cant vape a lot, so the few hits have to be potent. Or if I get into one of those situations, where I'd usually buy a pack, I'll have prime 18 to slap me straight!!!!
