i have tanks that are almost empty and the wicks still suck up juice. really you should only have to twirl if a.) the juice is really low, b.) its not against your religion, and c.) the date when REALLY well.



are you using Halo juice or some other brand? maybe it's a thicker juice, although Triton tanks are still pretty good at those.

I have to agree with wheez...I really don't have any issues with wicking. Even with cafe mocha they wick very well. I do flip mine quite often but really don't know if I need to. I do it more as precautionary thing than anything.
Oh yeah wheez...if you took me out you'd want to twirl me the whole time. Believe you me;-P

are you saying that the wicks arent wet because they dont visably appear wet to you, or because you are getting dry hits?

If it is because of appearance you might be understanding the process wrong.

The juice is actually mostly drawn up via capillary action on the "inside" of the wick so you wont see a real moisture appearance on the outside. The "trick" is to not the difference in color of the wick. If the wick is dry, it will appear white, if it is wet it will appear sort of clear.

Hi, julielynne! Actually, I'm the opposite and found the mini tanks wicks too small, don't seem to get saturated enough and tons of burnt/dry hits compared to the reg tanks. With that said, the longer wicks will take longer to "soak" when a tanks is first filled especially if a jooz is higher in VG.

So I highly recommend filling a tank and let it sit for around 10 minutes. I lay mine on their side so the wick has jooz that pools all over the them and I roll them around a little. I also take dry pulls on them to try and soak the wicks faster with jooz too. I plug the bottom of the tank with my finger and also block the air holes and just suck in 4-5 times.

Also when not using a tank, I still store them on their sides. Hope this helps a little. You can also trim the wicks down a tad and see if that helps too. You will have to twirl more tho to keep a shorter wick wet.

i already twirl a "Voodoo" person, i can only handle so much crazy.

Hhhmmm who would that be since you broke up w/meh? Already found a new VOODOO woman??? :mad:
 
I have only been vaping for almost 12 hours now but I will try and give you help. I have vaped about a tank today. I let my tank get a little under 2.0ml and than topped it off a little above 2.5ml by mixing my Subzero with the remaining Midnight Apple in the tank. I am now letting it run till empty I seem to have no problem with dry wicks and am now down to about 1.6 ml. I often find myself flipping and twisting the Triton. I have not used any mini tanks but I think if you play with the system you are using by flipping and twisting it should help keep the wicks wet.

Try and remember the coils heat the wick where the wicks enter the coil. That is the area you want to keep the most moist in my opinion. Hope this helps fill free to pm me if you have any more problems that you think I may be able to assist you with. Please let me know if this advice helped the issues as for I am new to vaping and would like to confirm this advice. I have no proof besides it working for me that this helps. I have done many hours maybe even days of research on these products.

Hello once again, happydaddy. :)

During the crucial initial and preliminary hours, I hope you are finding the Halo Triton to your liking. It is a fantastic piece of hardware. :vapor:

If the ejuice in my tank dips below 25%, especially if I plan on running it to dry before cleaning, I straight up turn that beech upside down, and watch the visual cue that the ejuice is running into the top of the wicks where it enters the coil.

I'm guessing English is not your native language? You should give us a run down in your original thread if the system is working for you, and if you are able to abandon the analog addiction. Don't rush things, though. All in due time. :toast:

If everything is good, no, they don't leak.

Every so often, if you stand them upright (like I do), it might drop a drop out the bottom. This is due to the vape condensing on the inner walls of the chimney. It drops on the table, or your battery top. It happens every so often, and it's kinda normal.

Just like you might get a drop of juice in your mouth. Same cause, condensation. Twist a tissue or get a swap and wick it dry.

And I find it drops a drip just before the bat blinks. It seems the top center post is always a bit moist. Keep it clean.

Actually English is my native tongue. I just have always struggled with the use of it. I have also just quit the use of a lot of illegal substances or illegally obtained within the past two years. (disclaimer) I do not suggest the use of those substances in any kind of way. That may be the cause of any confusion I cause sorry.

I plan to review my product when I get back online next week. As for now I have about 1.2mls of e-liquid in my tank. The wicks seem to be very moist with me playing with my system. Playing with my system seems to help when I get a craving to smoke. I have only had about 3-4 craving to smoke today. I have been using my system for about 15 hours now. I have took a puff off it 4-5 times ever hour but more in the hours I had the cravings.

I plan to post my review in separate thread. So if you are looking forward to hearing more about my use of the Triton and how I have done with quitting the use of tobacco cigarettes or analogs as some of you call them keep a eye out on my page.

Thank you all

Thank you

I agree.

I can vape a tank down to where there's no liquid left except the wet wicks. Why, are you getting dry hits?


And I agree, wheez is already stretched thin on crazy...

I also do this. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer took the car he was test driving below empty...
