The Triton is one of the newest sub ohm tanks on the market and the latest\u00a0in this segment from Aspire. \u00a0A lot of manufacturers are trying to get their piece of the sub ohm pie, some with all new designs and some with simply lower resistance versions of older designs. \u00a0The Triton falls in the former category with several new design features that are worth checking out whether you\u2019re looking to vape below an ohm or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Packaging<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Aspire Triton comes fully assembled in a relatively simple clear plastic box, packed snugly in a foam holder. \u00a0Below that is a replacement coil head and a card with some warnings and tips on it. \u00a0One of those warnings mentions turning the head to the proper setting to fill, but beyond that there are no instructions with the tank. \u00a0More on that in a minute.\"Aspire<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Design<\/span><\/h3>\n

The design of the Triton follows the popular bottom coil removable head design, but with some interesting features\u00a0on the top half. \u00a0\"Aspire<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

A\u00a0glass tube is surrounded by a nicely finished stainless steel enclosure. The 3.5 ml tank is made of Pyrex, so it is not only durable, but can be used\u00a0safely with those e-liquids that react poorly with plastic tanks. \u00a0Unfortunately, it appears that the glass is not removable from the tank. \u00a0This presents an issue in that it is difficult to clean and dry the tank thoroughly. \u00a0The top fill holes that we’ll discuss in a moment do make a quick flush fairly simple, but wiping the inside clean and dry is difficult. \u00a0It also means that the glass is not replaceable. \u00a0It is pretty well protected by the metal body, but if it does break, the the only solution is to replace the entire body. \u00a0There are some good looking replacements<\/a> available, however.\"Aspire<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The base of the Triton has a standard 510 fitting with a slightly protruding center pin that should make a good connection with most devices. \u00a0A ring around the base controls the airflow and it turns smoothly from fully closed to fully open with no stops. \u00a0There is just enough resistance to make inadvertent adjustments unlikely. \u00a0Unscrewing the base from the body gives access to the changeable coil head. \u00a0\"Aspire<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The heads themselves appear to be well designed for maximum airflow and sufficient wicking. \u00a0A single vertical center coil is surrounded by cotton wicking material. \u00a0There are four large holes in the body of the head that provide access for juice flow and large holes in the base for plenty of airflow. \u00a0The kit includes both .4 and 1.8 ohm coil heads so that the tank can be used for either sub ohm or regular resistance vaping. \u00a0I actually found that the 1.8 ohm head registered close to 2.0 ohms. \u00a0I am glad to see a manufacturer acknowledge that sub ohm vaping may not be for everyone and offer the option of either with a great tank design.\"Aspire<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The top of the tank is where the Triton deviates from the norm. \u00a0Most tanks of this style require the bottom to be removed for filling, but the Triton can be filled from the top. \u00a0The top cap consists of three pieces, a rotating outer cap, a removable inner cap and the mouthpiece or drip tip. \u00a0The mouthpiece has a wide bore in keeping with the idea of maximum airflow. \u00a0Other 510 drip tips will fit as well, although I found that many of mine were a little loose.<\/span><\/p>\n

To fill the Triton, the outer cap is rotated to the fill position which seals off the wick holes on the coil head while opening two fill ports under the inner cap.\u00a0\u00a0The inner cap is then removed by pulling up on the fins under the drip tip to reveal a deep well with the fill ports on the bottom of it. \u00a0When finished, turn the ring back to the vape position and replace the center piece. \u00a0It’s an ingenious design that makes filling a lot simpler with no need to remove the tank from the device.\"Aspire<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Given that this is an unusual approach to filling, you would think that plenty of attention would be paid to it in the manual or instruction sheet. \u00a0Strangely, there are no instructions at all, only a warning sheet that, among other things advises not to leave the ring in the fill position. \u00a0If not for that and the fact that I knew that top filling was a main feature of this device, I might have missed it completely. \u00a0\"Aspire<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

That finned section that we just mentioned serves to transfer heat and it is also used for another interesting feature of this device. \u00a0Turning the center finned section opens and closes an air intake on the side of the top cap. \u00a0Opening it\u00a0adjustment allows more fresh air to be drawn in along with the vapor to create a cooler hit. \u00a0Cooling off the vapor is useful when trying to make the biggest clouds results in vapor that\u2019s a little too hot to inhale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Performance<\/span><\/h3>\n

All of this design comes together in the Aspire Triton to create a device that has a lot of tweaking available but functions quite well right out of the box. \u00a0I dripped a little juice on the wick to be on the safe side, but other than that just filled it and vaped it and it worked quite well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the low resistance, the Triton works best with plenty of power, an airy draw and a direct inhale. \u00a0The result is a very respectable cloud of vapor without much trying. \u00a0Tinkering with the air flow at the base and the mouthpiece allow for even higher wattages and bigger clouds. \u00a0The best vapes start to happen at about 25 watts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Aspire<\/a><\/p>\n

The design of the coil heads allows for plenty of juice flow even with high VG percentages. \u00a0I did notice a little bit of drying after repeated hits, but not to the point of an absolute dry hit. \u00a0Even with those repeated hits, it produces excellent amounts of vapor and can be run up to higher wattages. \u00a0 I’ve been vaping it around 40 watts with consistent results and great rich flavor.\u00a0 Although the juice flows well, I have not noticed any leakage, even with thinner high PG liquids. \u00a0Some users have reported leakage due to ill fitting o-rings, but mine seem to fit together quite snugly.<\/span><\/p>\n

If clouds aren\u2019t your thing, the Triton is equally at home with regular resistance vaping and a tighter draw. \u00a0The 1.8ohm head functions quite well at around 10 watts and the airflow can be restricted to allow for a comfortable mouth to lung inhale. \u00a0In either configuration, the Triton creates lots of vapor and excellent flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n

The top fill ports are really a nice feature. \u00a0At work, for instance, it\u2019s nice to be able to fill the tank without taking things apart. \u00a0Filling just doesn\u2019t get much easier than it does with this design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Aspire Triton is a very good sub ohm tank that has a few features that may recommend it over some competitors such as the Subtank Mini from Kanger. \u00a0The top filling and airflow options broaden its attraction, as does the inclusion of the regular resistance coil head. \u00a0The Subtank Mini does come with a rebuildable head, however, something\u00a0that must be purchased separately for the Triton.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Triton I tested was provided by Smoktek for this review and is available there for $43.95. \u00a0That\u2019s a fairly decent value – a little high compared to regular tanks, but in the same range as other sub ohm tanks. \u00a0I\u2019d love to see the rebuildable deck included in the kit, but the easily replaceable heads are what this type of topper is all about. \u00a0The Triton allows nearly anyone to experience sub ohm vaping with very little effort, yet can be switched\u00a0easily to regular resistance vaping. \u00a0 That makes it a good choice for someone new to sub ohm vaping or to vaping altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Triton is robust enough to make it a good choice for an experienced vaper, yet simple and ready to vape enough to be a good beginner choice.<\/p>\n
