Triton with RTA

[Rymesis]

Anyone else try the Triton rta section? I finally managed to get a coil in it that didn't hot leg all day, and low and behold! ........Dry hit city.
I've recoiled and rewicked this thing so many times I think I have a bald spot from pulling hair out!
I -FINALLY- got it to sort of kind of not really stop dry hitting by using a TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINY little bit of Japanese cotton,
When I see the youtube videos of it, they're stuffing MUCH more cotton through it than I'm using, I'm using barely enough now to even fill the juice holes(No where near big enough to stuff this 3MM coil, even though the stock coil was 3.5MM -evil glare at Aspire- )
And now that I have it being a semi-sort of kinda not really not at all acceptable vape, and through it when I was able to get a single hit that wasn't a dry hit,
0 flavor. It actually lacks flavor so badly that I might as well be vaping straight VG instead of a 50/50 premium bottle.

Sorry if I seem a bit over the top, but 10+ rebuilds and Trash results each time....this thing is about to go in the trash where I'm starting to think it belongs, along with the Triton itself.

I'm with you, mine almost hit the trash too. I've probably rebuilt this sucker 20 times. My builds were always to dry or too juicy. I finally drilled out my cotton holes but you have to be careful because the holes are very close to the edge. I'ts working great now. I'ts now built to .4 ohm using 24g kanthal and it's keeping up at 30 watts. And I'm running 85% vg through it getting good vapor and flavor. Don't give up on it, all aspire prebuilt coils are crap.

I did see in another post someone drilled theirs out, then drilled even bigger and essentially made them slotted.
How big did you drill yours out to?

 

[augustkk]

That's a good idea I might try that but what I did is took what I think is a 5/64th drill bit, my bits are all in a pile so I'm not exactly sure, but I used the bit that fits in the hole and basically put pressure with the side of the drill bit, away from the edge, doubling the size of the hole. Hope that makes sense. And I've better luck stuffing the cotton in, otherwise I was getting juice in my mouth with less cotton.

Never the less, I would not recommend this pos to anyone.

I have heard very few good things about the tank and even less about the rba. I was excited about it, like yay aspire is finally entering 2015! But they did with such a thud of poop thit would have been better if they didn't. Maybe next time.

I jumped on the bandwagon and bought one. Used it a few times and got rid of it. To me it was nowhere as good as the Atlantis.

Found myself disappointed with the Triton, as well (glad I bought it at a discount at a Vape Expo). Went with the Zephyrus (IMHO, a better tank, performance and building-wise), and just got the Billow V2..

I had many of the same issues other have had with the Triton RTA - what were they thinking? I even tried make shifting a BVC in mine - still crappy performance.

The Anyvape RTA's fit just about any Atlantis coil compatible tank and this is what I currently have in my Triton.

If the dang thing did not leak on me I might use it more however I like the Anyvape Sega better for top fill and seems to work better for my needs.

I really wanted to like the Triton as I own (and like) many other Aspire tanks.

Oh so you've used the sega rba with aspire tanks? Which ones, and which do you think is the best setup? I've been wanting to try that but didn't want to waste the money trying if it wouldn't work.

The Anyvape v1 RTA DOES NOT WORK with Aspire tanks however the new version2 seems to work fine.
The building is very confined, its similar to a STM deck but on a smaller scale. I have not experimented with them extensively but I'd have to assume that the limited amount of wire that can be fitted in there (much much less than the factory wound ones) and reduced surface area that the performance may be limited.

However the cost of two of them shipped was cheap enough to give them a test run. I don't like beholding to what I call the 'factory coil tax' where I have to maintain a stock of pre-built coils which may (or not!) work as expected or intended.

Factory coils can sometimes seem like a 'crap shoot'. I just want my nicotine.

I've never used the Anyvape Sega rebuildable v1, but it doesn't work? What a coincidence! The Triton one doesn't work either!
Joking aside, I have used the Anyvape v2 rebuildable, after the learning curve(If you've built a Lemo, think tinier, no still tinier, nope not there yet...NOOOOWW you get it! And you have to trap under the tiiiinnyy screws)
After getting use-to them, they were a pretty good, reliable, dependable vape!
I ordered 2(And forgot one) and just had the negative post pull out of my first one I was using forever. It still works....but it's finicky and janky now.
I -can- say after getting use-to building tiny coils for the anyvape v2, it's nice. I -wish- that Aspire looked at it and went "Ey cool! Let's build something based off this!" instead of "Let's make something that will screw up every time guaranteed and not trap leads!"
Then you look at the cost point...I bought 2 anyvape v2's for $16; I bought the Triton rebuildable coil for $12....

Anyway, I do want to love this Triton RTA coil, but I'm beginning to to think nothing can save it and it's just about as bad as rebuilding an actual atlantis coil head, except I've had that work out nicely before.
Today, since I bought some Amigo nickel coil heads about two weeks ago, and since they only last for about a tank or two of good vaping before turning to utter trash....
I thought "Hey! I'll try Nickel in it!" Nope. Nope nope nope. Does not save it, super weak ego twist anemic vape, it doesn't burn the cotton but I'd like to taste some of the juice that was being vaporized there.

If anyone's seriously considering getting a Triton RTA coilhead to rebuild, don't. Just don't.
Go out and buy a Youde Goblin instead. It's leaps and bounds better.
If you go "Well, crap. I have all these expensive Atlantis tanks now and nothing to run on them." then get an Anyvape sega v2 RTA coil head.

The only decent way for me(no dry hits) to vape the triton RTA is vertical build of 3mm ID with 2 layers of koh gen do. Maximum height of coil should be roughly 5mm. It does work with nickel but the taste is way off till it warms up.
The thought of dry hitting horizontal build on triton still sends chills down my spine
