The Halo Triton Tank For Beginner and Intermediate Level Vapers
UPDATE! THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
The Halo Triton Tank System was one of the first “second-generation” vaping devices. It was a big a step up from a “cigalike” – a traditionally styled e-cigarette. The Triton is still available, but it lacks the modern features of today’s vaporizers and pod vapes.
The Box
When I got my first Triton Tank, years ago, I was impressed with the sturdy packaging, which looked like a jewelry case. Unfortunately, it did have a strange “packaging” aroma I didn’t like.
The Triton Tank starter kit no longer comes with two batteries. Gone also are the 4 color choices. You can now order your vape in either black or silver. The kit still includes the battery, tank, coil, and usb charging cable.
The Tank
Halo Triton’s tanks (clearomizers) are solid and easy to fill. It holds a modest 2ml of e-liquid, so expect to fill it often.
The earlier version of the tank had a top fill system which helped avoid leaking. Now you have to fill it from the bottom. There’s always the chance that the liquid will leak into the battery or spill all over the place if you forget to turn your ecig upside down when you remove the tank.
One big downside to a Halo Clearomizer is that it’s made of plastic, not pyrex. It is; however strong and I’ve never had my Triton Tank crack while using another company’s acidic e-juices like some banana or citrus flavors. Halo, (like most ecig companies that sell ejuice) recommend their own line of eliquids, but you can use e-liquids from any company.
Inside the tank there’s a coil which heats the liquids. The Triton Tank kit now comes with a 1.5 ohm coil. This is hotter than the original 2.4 ohm coil which was mid-range and made for a pleasant vape with great vapor. Also, people have complained that the newer coils now offered don’t last very long. Of course, it can depend on what e-liquid you use. Thicker e-liquids can shorten the life of your atomizer.
SPEAKING OF E-LIQUIDS…
The vapor industry is changing – not necessarily for the better for seasoned vapers. Halo is, unfortunately, ahead of new FDA regulations and, (unlike Vaporfi) has discontinued all flavors except for Tobacco.
A Note About Chargers and E-Liquids
The Trident Tank USB charger may look like it can accommodate Halo’s traditional G6 e-cigarette, (or any other brand of e-cigarette), but Halo makes a strong point of saying USB chargers are NOT interchangeable. The threading on the USB may look and work with other batteries but it can be a dangerous mix due to the higher voltage. Batteries can burn out or in very rare cases, experience thermal runaway;- a nice way of saying it can explode.
I wish more companies (and e-cig reviewers) would make a point of discouraging the mixing of E-cigarette batteries with non-product specific chargers. At least Halo, unlike some e-cigarette companies, print their logo on both the wall charger and the USB charger. I wish they would add “Triton” to the USB as it does have a higher voltage than the USB used for the Halo G6 model.
Regarding nicotine levels, Halo’s range from Zero nicotine to 24mg.
Remember, e-liquids should be kept away from children and pets, although according to CDC reports, nicotine is not nearly as dangerous as everyone once thought.
All in all, the Triton Tank System is a quality basic vaporizer that delivers good vapor production. I rate it a 6.0.

Hello. I’d like to know if the Halo tank would stand the thicker, higher VG juices or even the 100% PG-free ones. Many thanks.

Hi Mala,
Absolutely! Halo makes Hi VG eliquids that are 70% VG. If you go with that ratio you can use any brand of e-liquid. Happy Vaping!
Hillary, Editor
Thanks for the reply Hillary!
Would I then need to go for the sub-ohm tanks if I wanted to go for 100% VG?
I’m told the all-VGs tend to be much thicker and won’t do well in other/smaller tanks.
Since posting my first question, I switched to a 35/65 juice but still wheezed and coughed, so it looks like my body’s not liking the PG at all. I’m very sad to say that I’m back to dreadful cigarettes – for now. I intend to keep experimenting so I never go back to them again.
I do appreciate you taking the time to help & advise.

Hi Malamo,
You don’t necessarily have to go to the subohm tanks/atomizers, but if you continue to use higher ohm atomizers you will need to change them quite frequently as they will get gunky very quickly!
Will do, thanks very much Hillary.
Hi I am new to vaping and want to know if I can change the bit I put the liquid in on my Halo as it always falls off and leaks everywhere 🙁
Hi Jabba,
Halo has several models so I don’t know which you are referring to. They have excellent customer service so I suggest calling them for assistance. Good luck!
Great post.
Love my triton tank, the service from halo has been outstanding! Have not had a traditional cig since jan. and had not even had the intention of giving
them up just a substitute to use on a long nonsmoking trip.
Hi Nancy. That’s awesome that your Halo has been so helpful. It’s really the absolute best tank system I’ve tested (and I’ve tested a lot!).Halo e-liquids are fabulous too 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
Awesome product!!! I purchased a Halo Triton 2 weeks ago after having a blu cig for 6 months, which is a childs toy compared to the Triton.. Anyhow i haven’t even thought of smoking a tabacco cig since I started using it!
We love the Triton too! Great choice for ‘intermediate’ vapors who are ready to add their own e-liquids. As for blucigs…ok to start, but there are far superior “cig-alikes”. We gave them a low rating too 🙂
Dears,
i want to know wher i can finf halo products on united arab emirates.
Unfortunately the United Arab Emirates has banned e-cigarettes because the government says they are dangerous. You can; however, still smoke regular cigarettes in public in the UAE.
Do not do business with Halo Ecigs. I have just had one of the worst customer service experiences of my life. An almost $200 order of their products was not delivered due to an error with their packaging. I paid for the ultra fast shipping ($40) so that the package would arrive in 3-5 business days on December 28, 2013. After 20 business days (Jan 31, 2014) without the package (it was sent back from the Canadian border due to improper packaging) I contacted Halo and was told that they would re-ship the product, but that I would have to pay for shipping a second time.
I exchanged many emails back and forth over the course of 5 days (never expect to get a response back the same day) they confirmed that they would not resend without more money. Why would I pay more for shipping when the error was their fault?
After a couple more messages I was just too fed up to continue. I’m sure there are lost of other plans that value customers who had spent hundreds upon hundreds of dollars with their business.
Hi Zach. Thanks for leaving feedback about Halo! I’m sorry you had such a rough experience. We’ve not had problems with Halo shipments, but we have learned about repeated problems (since late 2013) getting NICOTINE e-cigs past Canadian customs. They now open most e-cig shipments, and reject them if “drugs” like nicotine are discovered. They may give you an excuse like “improper packaging”, but it most probably means that the package contains “improper” products. Now Canada won’t even permit the sale of nicotine e-cigs without a special health permit. See this notice: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/prodpharma/applic-demande/pol/notice_avis_e-cig-eng.php.
As for Halo’s shipping and returns policies, we’re aware that they do not offer Free Shipping and returns, one reason why they lose a few small points on our “10 Best E-Cigarettes” list.
I suggest you get a kit with a cartridge you can refill or order zero nicotine e-liquid. It will get thru customs. Then, find a shop in Canada where you can legally buy e-juice with nicotine. It’s interesting to note that new tests are now showing that even vaping without nicotine can curb your ciggy habit. Good luck!

We agree with your review and we might even grade the Halo Triton Tank System a 10 … awesome product. My husband has not had a regular cigarette in two weeks, and he has tried everything! Two Thumbs Up!!!
Hi K.W. Always good to get feedback from others who have tested Halo’s Triton Tank System. Halo’s been getting some “best products” awards too. – from PC Magazine for example. Thanks!
