I'm still a super noob, I don't tinker like a lot of these guys so I just ask because they know all!

Also I have the G6, Triton 650's and a sweet Midnight Blue Triton VV battery. Did you know the cartos and mini tanks also fit the Triton batteries. I use everything, it all has a purpose for me.

I'm pretty well done with the cartos. All tanks for me. I don't even use the mini tanks on the Triton... Not that I don't like them... just kinda keeping it for the minis.

The minis seem to have a harder pull than the triton tanks. The triton carb holes are bigger then the small cuts on the mini tanks. Their made like the cartos. I won't use cartos anymore, haven't since October.

That's where me being a noob comes in. Some juice flavors are too strong for me right now and if I put it in a carto it has less flavor and I can vape it. :p

My taste buds are crazy this time around!

Yup I still use cartos for some flavors that are just too rough in tanks. I have to cut my nic some switching to the bigger stuff but I'm of the use it all up before getting much more line of thought (grew up pretty broke and it's been drilled into my head). Every bit of stuff I've got has it's use.

Except the time I derailed by buying an ego set. On every other part of this forum its holy crap you gotta buy ego stuff cus 808 will be done with soon. I hated the stupid things and decided to stick with what I know an love.

So as much as I love ECF a lot of it can really throw off a beginner and between halo and si it couldn't be better

Halo is a strong company, I see them being in the vape game for a long time to come. Some places might come and go, Halo is here to stay.

Well I did give up on cartos... However I did not much care for the Voodoo.. My wife enjoyed it ok.. it might have been a bit more muted in a carto. I'm wondering if the VV might make it a bit more palatable.

I didn't like Voodoo at first. I let it steep for 3-4 days, put it in a mini on my vv and it wasn't bad. If you have a 7ml you can take the nip off to steep more.

Yes, the VV will fine tune most any flavor. It really is needed for Belgium, which I never want hot.

But Voodoo is another thing. It is the thickest, darkest, coil eating juice Halo offers. And despite what the Mistress A says, it is not for everyone.

But with a VV, and soon as you have a bit of time on it, I think most juices need a "redo". (not to mention our morphing taste buds).
Yes, you trying Voodoo on a VV is definately in your future.

I have to agree about the ease of use for both Halo and SI's gear.... both just do what they say the do, and they do it well... I've got a few ego/ 510 spinners, and Vision brand one is good, the actual Joyetech one is kinda meh at best (just don't like the feel of it, and the rheostat dial turns the OPPOSITE of everyone else's.... o_O)

I tried some of the SI's new clearos, and after using the Triton tanks, I've found that I MUUCH prefer the top coil for the nice warm vape, and I LOVE the tight draw on the G6 mini tanks for my X2 auto battery.... makes me wish Halo had a triton VV in an Auto at times.

Halo's flavors are (at least in my opinion second to none.... in fact, I've only had one flavor from them I just didn't like, and that was Southern Classic, and it was a freebie when the flavor first rolled out... so not much of a loss on it.

I still trawl the other ECF boards, but I'm mainly here and in the new member's threads.... The forums are great, but there's so much conflicting shiny-itus on them, it can DEFINITELY be overwhelming to a new person. The Halo forums? It feels more like a group of good friends and less like a forum. (Paraphrasing Cindy here, cause she nailed it dead on!)

also, when you set the VV to 3.8 volts, it stays at 3.8 volts for the entire range of battery usage. the 3.7 volt battery comes out of the charger at 4.2 volts, and gradually fades a little until empty. The VV is also bigger, bigger than the 1300mah. People who have the VV swear by them.
If you're going to get some halo hardware, I like the 650 for size, you can stick it in a pocket when going out and it won't peek its head out and say high to people, and the VV for home, car, office, etc,
also get minimum 2 of everything, 2 chargers (I have 3), 2 batteries (I have 4), 2 tanks. (I have 6, some people have 20, basically 1 tank per flavour) and some spare heads or coils

The fact that the VV stays at a guaranteed constant voltage from fresh charge to flashing dead light was the selling point to me. It takes the guesswork out of what flavor is optimal on a fresh charge, somewhere in the middle, or less voltage at the end of a charge on a standard Triton. So worth the $10-$14 premium over a standard Triton.

1300mAh is 99.6mm long.
VV 106.2mm long, and a tick heavier.

Definitely invest in a handful of coils, I like having 2 packs of 5 on hand. They are the lifeblood of the system and there is nothing more satisfying than swapping in a fresh coil. I usually have my VV set and forget @3.8 volts.

I have tried all 4 coil ohm options. I think I'm sticking with the 3.0-3.2ohm from now on. Not that the standard 2.2-2.4ohm coils subtract from the experience at all, they work just as well. I just haven't noticed any considerable drop in temp or vapor production on the higher ohm coils to warrant not using them first and foremost. Best case scenario, they add a little life to the coil. They are great on non-VV batteries too.

You know, I should have ordered the 3.0 ohm coils - I find the tanks on regular batteries often run too hot for me and everything ends up with a slightly fruity flavor when I'm chain vaping:blink:

I've found the same problem with some sweet juices; the higher resistance coils helped a bit; I'm really looking forward to getting the variable voltage to see if it helps cool it further. Love my cafe mocha... But can't vape a whole track through right now.

What ohm coils did you end up going with? I know the 3.0-3.2 were sold out for about 3 weeks during the 20% off sale. Glad that they're back in stock now, along with replacement tips.

Weird how I don't like any juices at 4.3-4.8 volts, too much heat neutralizes flavor and scorches the bottom wick that the coil wraps around, even with the high ohm coils.:closedeyes:

The standard ones that come with the tanks - I think they're around 2.4? I can't vape any of my juices that high, except sometimes Tribeca around 4.2 for a short period (and this is with 3 ohm cartos). My juices all seem to scorch too quickly - I think I don't pull hard enough when I draw - or something!

Ain't VV great? I also have mine at or near 3.8, maybe a tad higher for Tribeca. But like GreenLeaf says, it's the consistancy that is the winner. In fact, I don't need variable volt; just a regulated 3.8 from charger to blink would be totally worth it.

I've only had a few hits over 4.0v just to see, and it's not useable over that setting. I wonder if the higher coils and a bit higher voltage is more efficient on the battery life, as it might eat more power to regulate a lower voltage with the circuitry.

It's an academic question, as it might result in maybe 5 or 8% more batt life? Regardless, I'm happy.

No the battery life is worse when you go hgher... What I was saying, though, was that I think I would also have preferred the higher ohm coils on my regular batteries for a cooler vape - burned tongue is annoying!
