I'm looking at the Triton starter kits right now and am considering buying one or buying the bits separately.
Looks like I can get everything in the kit except for the box about $8 cheaper. I'd like the box, but am considering separates so I can have different color batteries. EDIT - the above is incorrect. my bad everyone.

My suggestion is to have the option of choosing two different battery colors (and tank colors) for the starter kit.

just my :2c:

thanks for reading.

How do you figure you can get everything for $8 cheaper than a starter kit? I put one together - two 650 mAh batteries, 2 tanks, 1 USB adapter and 1 wall charger and the total was $64.94 vs $64.99 for the starter kit; a savings of $0.05. That doesn't include the cone or case. I'm not saying either one of those is essential, but for 5 cents it's a no-brainer.

Did you exclude something?

JR - You are exactly right. Looks like I totally screwed up my math. Good catch.

sorry everyone. *hangin' my head

(for what it's worth, I still like my suggestion of being able to choose different battery colors in the starter kit)

No need to hang your head. If that's the biggest mistake you've ever made, you're doing way better than me.

Different color batteries would be pretty cool. Probably slow things down a bit for the packing people though. Maybe not, as there's different battery size options within each kit.

Maybe this has been suggested before, if so, my apologies.

I would really like to see Halo offer their flavors in either a 10ml or 15ml size besides the 7.5ml or 30ml offerings.

Why?

Because it often takes a bit more than 7.5ml to really assess a flavor and decide if it is right for you. For example, Malibu was a real departure from my normal vape, and it took a little time to discover that it was a blend that works very well for me. I almost passed it by after vaping most of a 7.5ml bottle. This is especially true if you are vaping with a Triton tank, or something even larger, however, I am not going to buy a 30ml bottle of an unknown flavor at first.

For those using cartomizers or mini tanks, I think this is less of a problem, but I can vape through a sample bottle before giving it enough time to adjust to a new flavor.

I don't have a desire for a variable voltage battery, but if I ever consider it, the cell would have to be replaceable, so my suggestion is for the Triton variable voltage battery to have a replaceable cell.

I use regular Triton batteries, and I'm satisfied with that. For me to consider a VV, I'd have to go through at least two batteries, to prove their effectiveness, but that'd take me a long time. I'd be more at ease doubling my investment in a battery, if I could replace the cell. Otherwise, there's no need for anything extra on your Triton VV (like a display); it's fine the way it is, I'm sure.

I know that from a seller's perspective, this opens the door to a wide variety of issues, some of which may affect Halo products negatively, but I trust that you can come up with something that will work.

Also, please don't hesitate to post better descriptions, and more technical information about your products; you've already done a great job, but there's room for improvement. example; the dimensions of the cone, and why you sell two different sizes (I still don't get it).

The two different sized cones are different lengths. The smaller one fits the standard cartos better, and the larger cones fit the XL cartos better. But you're right, you shouldn't have to ask.

There are vv batteries out there with replacable cells. They're mods. That makes the "batteries" far bigger. The vv batteries such as Halo's and eGo twists have their place, and mods have their place. Both serve the same ultimate function, yet both have different applications. I can put my Halo twist in my pocket and walk around and forget about it, whereas my Vamo V3 gets a bit cumbersome.

Not sure if I'm telling you something you already knew or not. Sorry if I'm be a master of the obvious here.

Thanks for the clarification! It's all so clear now!

Yeah, I know about mods. My problem with the Triton VV is the price; there should be a way to extract more value out of it. Maybe someone will hack one, and share how they did it (in another forum). I also have a crazy idea about making a flashlight attachment...

Here's a size comparison of the cones:
ConeComparison.png


You can use the large cone with a standard cartomizer if you prefer the "sleeker" look, but there's not a whole lot of room for your mouth there. It works fine, though. It just takes a little time to get used to it. The cones are a cosmetic thing, anyway. They just look better than leaving the outer threading "naked."

I use drip tips, anyway. I like a drip tip because I can wash it in the sink every day or every other day. You wouldn't use a cup for a week or two without ever washing it, I hope! :p

The cones do two more things IMO -

They tighten up the draw a bit by restricting airflow (which I like)

They protect the cartos from possibly bending and snapping in situations like being in your pocket

I stopped using cartos, but I used the cones everytime for those reasons, primarily for restricting airflow. And the long cone with an XL carto looked cool IMO.

Few suggestions- Triton glass tanks and Triton mini tanks (G6 minis just look very odd on the Triton). A battery life indicator. My friend has a PV (can not for the life of me think of which one it is) but she's able to press the botton on hers and it lights different colors of blue to give her a % of charge left in her battery. So if it gets down to like 10%, she can switch it out w/her other.

More colors in the VV and lastly hopefully by Spring (?) more gourmet flavors.

I second the glass tank. There's too many juices out there that will damage the Triton tank.

You could put a cone around the mini tank on Triton, but it doesn't quite fit (it needs sanding), so how about a cone that does fit? :p

There's now a variety of circuit boards for eGo batteries, including a programmable one, so you can choose from 3 or 4 different voltages. I just don't know if Halo's manufacturer offers it yet, but it would be more affordable than a VV. It does however, stand against Halo's reputation with unregulated, long-lasting batteries...:(

I wish I could be more hopeful on the glass tank, but if the manufacturer is Kanger, then we'd probably be looking at a Protank mini 2 v2, and it retails for $16 online right now. I just don't see it appearing in Halo's lineup anytime soon.:(

Look, I am talking out of turn here, but for those seeking glass tanks -- it's not going to happen. There is no reason for it. Halo makes their equipment to vape HALO juice in. That's it. Halo e-liquid does not crack tanks, so there is no reason for them to invest in the R&D or product.

Halo is primarily a maker of e-liquid, and they prefer you use said liquid in their equipment which is designed to offer the best vaping experience for HALO e-liquid.

They might invest in Bottom coil clearomizers, but most likely not glass tanks.

I'd still like to see glass tanks tho. I think it would separate the Triton from a typical ecig/eGo. And different color drip tips. The reason why is not only for color selection to make my PV's look cooler but when I have different flavors and ohms/coils in my tanks, it is so easy to get them all mixed up. I'm still trying to perfect a system, specifically when traveling.

If I have different color drip tips, I could designate a certain color for ohms. Example, the tanks I have loaded with 2.2-2.4 would be black tips, the 3.0-3.3 would be silver or what have you. When you have 5-6 thanks loaded with different ohms and then pack up and leave for a weekend getaway, it's very easy to get everything all mixed up. Ok, maybe it's just me...

The two different sized cones are different lengths. The smaller one fits the standard cartos better, and the larger cones fit the XL cartos better. But you're right, you shouldn't have to ask.

Hehe, when my Triton kit first arrived, I had no idea what the cone was even supposed to do. After taking it out and looking at it curiously for a few seconds, I shrugged, put it back in the case, and ignored it for like a week. Looked it up on the internet later when curiosity got the better of me (and in an otherwise dull moment).

Still haven't used the cone. On the one occasion in which I tried a carto on my (650 mah) Triton battery, it seemed to work just fine naked.
