Triton tanks

[bnrkwest]

I hope it helps I did order the G6 minis as well and look fwd to trying them too. Clearos in general have some issues, but when you love the taste you just learn to fiddle a bit and fix minor things. Mine is doing well and I have been vaping it exclusively since i got it. bnrk

Thanks so much Brnk for all the suggestions- so nice to hear how someone else does this...I really like this setup and don't want to give up on it...I got one mini with my order (have several more that should be here tomorrow) but haven't had all the problems with it..

 

[puffnomore]

Well I'll be anxious to see what you think of the minis when you get yours..I know I like the clearos much better than the cartomizers I use on my VEA - It is hard to get the juice amount just right - too much and it drips out bottom - too little and it tastes nasty...I have to say when clearos are working right they are great for flavor.

Have a kit on the way, should be here in a few days; out of curiosity, what material are the tanks made of? I've heard certain e-liquids can't be used with certain materials, and would like to know if it's something I'll need to watch out for.

Thanks! Can't wait to get this!

Hello, the tanks are plastic. Thanks!

What kind of plastic? Polypropylene or Polycarbonate?

I'm curious, too, about the cracked tank issue. I'm a relatively new vaper, and just received the Triton starter kit last week (love it!) I also received a sample pack from Fancee Juice including Mojito and Cloudarita juices. Dare I try them in one of the tanks? Both flavors have some citrus.

Would depend on the answer to my question above.

If I understand correctly, it's the polycarb tanks that are problematic. I've read that the polypro are usually ok.

 

[bnrkwest]

The Triton looks to be polycarb. I have no cracking but have only had organic Toffee in it. bnrk

Got my replacement coils in from Halo for tanks. I washed out tank and have let dry. Do I now just screw new coil in, pushing new wicks down in tank? Wasn't quite sure how to replace coils. Any help appreciated.

They are on the website right with the tanks Triton Tanks | Triton Tank System | Halo Cigs

The Spinfuel review mentions there are replaceable heads for Tritons but I don't see anything on the Halo site that indicates this. Anyone know about this?

Real easy, although if you rinsed out your old coil and wicks, don't be too quick to give up on the old coil...they can give a good deal of life.

Anyway, just insert the new wicks in the tank, being careful not to catch the wicks where the coil screws in. Screw in the new coil until snug, but do NOT over-tighten or you can get a "burnt" taste. Some folks do that and assume their coil is done when it simply needs to be screwed in correctly. This is not an uncommon problem with some top coil, replaceable clearomizers. A little adjustment can do wonders.

I much prefer the T3 tanks from the other guys. They work great on Triton batteries, and they don't leak when lying horizontally on a table. Also, I hate those long, visible wicks. They are super easy to fill, though.

If the bane of bottom-feeders is dry hits, the bane of Triton tanks is burnt hits. The solution is the same: loosen up the silicone collar a bit.

When you fill the tank, get a paper towel and
1. Tighten the atomizer (not like a gorilla, just barely tight)
2. Dry off the silicone collar
3. Pull the silicone collar up a mm or two, flush with the metal air tube

That and the tank twirl --> perfect vapes every time.

Do you need an adapter when using the T3? I'd like to give them a try.

No, both are 808, so the tanks and batteries are interchangeable. It's the T3 tank designed for Volt X2/Spinner. Either tank (T3/Triton) works on either battery (X2/Spinner/Triton).

Thanks for the info.

Got my 3.0 - 3.2 ohm atomizers today. I ordered some 2.2-2.4's as well. Both came in the same package with no markings to distinguish them, not that I could see. My trusty ohm-meter sorted that out.

The 3.2's give a much cooler vape, not as much gurgling. I have one juice that just can't take the 2.4's without tasting burnt, and it does much better with the 3.2's. Huge difference.

Thanks for offering this.

 

[puffnomore]

Might have to try the 3.2s myself..A couple of my thicker JC juices that I love still seem to get burnt taste after a day in the triton tanks. Thanks for heads up AbqDave.

I'm a complete ignoramus where tanks are concerned, so don't quite understand your excellent instructions. Just a few questions, if you don't mind.......

What is the atomizer?

What's the silicone collar?

I'm assuming that the "metal air tube" is the center thingy in the tank?

The atomizer on the Triton tank (which is a clearomizer) is the coil/wick assembly which screws into the tank. The silicone collar is the silicone "sleeve" that covers the coil assembly.

Yes, the metal air tube is the tube which the coil screws into, allowing air flow.

I want to try a new juice in my tank. What's the best way to clean everything so my HX3 doesn't have a lingering Menthol Ice taste?

Gonna order more tanks and a few mini tanks when I need more juice. Just trying out stuff in the mean time.

Warm water; rinse and repeat a few times for the tank and mouthpiece; replace the coil head if you can, otherwise you'll have a lingering flavor throughout the tank. I've never had great success using the coil/wicks in different juices, you just end up with a (sometimes very weird) hybrid.

I suppose if you're patient enough, a 151/Everclear soak/rinse/repeat for the coils/wicks might get all the old flavor out; just be sure to let it dry completely before refilling and vaping. As in, possibly overnight for dry-time.

That being said, with a flavor switch like Menthol Ice to HX3, it should be OK if you do a warm water soak on all the pieces (coilheads included) using hot-not-boiling water, distilled being the best option so you don't get hard-water gunk inside the tank.

Soak, agitate, rinse, soak, agitate, rinse, soak, agitate, rinse, dry for a long time (overnight in front of a fan).

Later on, just grab a handful of G6 tanks every time you order something; so cheap they're essentially disposable if the flavor is not to your liking.

So, is just about any T2 replacement coil compatible with the Triton tanks?

Yes, but coils can be persnickety and they are the "engine" of the tank. At $2.50 a pop, I'll stick with the Halo coils...saving 50 cents or so for a T2 coil isn't worth it to me. I haven't managed to burn out a coil yet on my first Triton tank, and it is going on 3 weeks, still vapes good as new.
