Hey Halo Nation. Got a Triton a few weeks ago and am loving it. I chose the 450 and 650 mah batteries with my starter kit which I have had zero problems. After a few days I ordered a 900 mah battery, and started instantly burning wicks. Any suggestions on what the problem may be? This is with new coils and full tanks.
New here. 900 mah batt question

Hi, shogon. Welcome! Glad you like the Triton.
Just to be clear, we're talking about the regular 900mAh batter (not the VV).
All of the Triton Regular batteries should put out the same voltage, based on their Lithium Ion technology. Someone with a G6 and a voltmeter can verify this, but ALL should be the same curve, from the smallest G6 to the 1300.
The first 5 to 10 hits are a higher voltage, but it levels off after that and runs from about 3.9 to 3.7 until the last 5% of the discharge, which falls off a lot. There was a cool chart BigBen posted, but I can't locate it at the moment.
What might be happening is coincidence. Are you using the same coils from the orig kit? Have you been cleaning, soaking the coils? Perhaps a dry burn would help, followed by another good rinse. There are other threads here describing this.
It might just be time for another pack of coil heads.
Let us know how you do with it.
And what's your flavors? I am Prime15, and Malibu with a bit of Belgian Cocoa...
And guess what? You are now a Halon!!!!

(How did I miss that?)
Get a multitester and check out the voltages. And the resistances of the new tanks. Does it only happen with the 900 and not with a fully charged 400? Multitesters are under $7 at Harbor Freight and is a needed tool for vapers, IMHO.
Other than that, I'm stumped, as a lith bat can only put out just so much voltage due to it's chemistry.
Thanks for the reply. I've done this with 3 wicks on three different coils. One was a coil that came with the starter kit that I had cleaned once. The other two were new coils from a 5 pack. I do believe all three times were off the first few hits so the higher voltage makes sense.
I have had the pleasure of vaping Tribeca, Torque 56, Prime, and just recently Midnight Apple. I stuck with the tobacco flavors while I was quitting the cigs,which were all great, but now I'm passed that, I'm looking for more flavorful juices. Midnight Apple reminds me of those green apple blowpops.lol I freakin love it.
Proud to be a Halon!
Just happens with the 900. Never with the 400 or 650

Before I had my VV, i knew to hit something more tolerant to higher voltages, like the prime or torque. The sweeter things wait till the battery calms down a little, Like Belgian.
But really, a multi tester is a very useful tool. A good autorange one from Sears is about $25. I have had mine for years. Essential tool for me.
One day, I'll make and post a video on Vaping and Multitester and show how easy it is to use.

Dave hit the nail on the head with this one! I had the same problem, but it calmed down after a few hits. The taste might stick around a while, but it will go away!

I'm going to be a vapor for a while, so I definitely need to invest in one. I guarantee I was hitting to hard, because all three times were right after I filled the tanks. Thanks for the help.
Thanks. You guys are freakin awesome.
That's great news. It's been killing me with a badass new battery and not using it.lol

That happened to me when I was new to the triton. Not sure why it doesn't do it now, maybe the batterys have a little wear on.
At least you don't have to worry about lighters, if your running low on the "nails" and that nasty yellow stain on your fingers!

Another possibility is not enough juice was wicked up after the fresh fill on top of the higher voltage of a fresh off the charger battery. After I fill a fresh tank and clean/new head I make sure I tilt the tank down so the juice is on the wicks and let it set a few minutes on it's side. Then take some dry hits without firing the battery, this helps pull juice up on the wicks. HTH
Welcome shogunbowling!! I don't have anything scientificy to add to what all the others have said but I wanted to welcome you to the Halo forums. You'll find supportive friends here.
Hey Dave can't wait for the video tutorial...........how awesome!!!!!!
Wow, and welcome shogun! We are so glad to have you in our humble little community! lol Great choices on your favorite juices. I love Tribeca, Torque and Voodoo! Have yet to try Midnight Apple, but will in the future. As you can see, there are good peeps here and good info to boot. continued success with your Triton!
