I've been a 2 PAD guy for many years, Camel Turkish Silver for the last few. I got my Halo Triton starter kit on Friday. I ordered the Tobacco Sample kit with it, and since I need to figure out what juice to buy more of, I figured I'd try 'em all ASAP. In the order that I tried them:
Tribeca: Selected more-or-less at random as the place to start. I vaped it all of Friday afternoon and evening. Literally my first experience with vaping. IIRC, I only had two stinkies during that time. I didn't know what to make of the taste of Tribeca at this point since I had nothing to compare it to, but I wasn't totally thrilled with it.
On Saturday morning, I figured: OK, I've got two batteries and two tanks, might as well start trying other flavors and compare them side-by-side, and the next random choice was:
Turkish Tobacco: Milder and less complex in flavor that Tribeca. Easy to vape. If you're coming from a light or ultra-light non-menthol analogs, this is a good place to start. I liked it better than Tribeca, so Turkish stayed and the tank the Tribeca was in got washed and filled with:
Midnight Apple: This is sorta OK -- tobacco plus apple, but somehow I'm not ready to smoke fruit, and I was still liking Turkish better, so the tank the apple was in got washed again and filled with:
Torque 56: Wow this has a LOT of taste. Maybe too much? Back-and-forth with Turkish.. After a while, it made the Turkish seem bland and almost tasteless. I ended cutting the Torque with a bit of unflavored Fusion, maybe 25-30% to tone it down some. That made it a tough decision as to which one to keep, but the Turkish now seemed almost too bland so I replaced it with:
Prime 15: I find this stuff disgusting; to me it tastes like moldy straw. I vaped less of this than any of the other flavors and washed out the tank in under an hour. Didn't even bother pouring what was left back into its bottle. Replaced it with:
Longhorn: This stuff is interesting. To me it's just like smoking certain kinds of tobacco from a pipe, something I haven't done in many years. My wife (who's never been a smoker) agrees that the vapor smells like pipe tobacco. Because of this, I tend to vape it more like one would smoke a pipe or cigar than a cigarette too. I really like it, but it's not something I could vape continuously all day long.
So, what am I ordering bigger bottles of? Well... I already ordered a 30ml bottle of Turkish (in the same 18 mg strength I've been using) along with a few more tanks, more USB charging adapters, and a VV battery... Now I'm definitely going to get more Torque too, but I think I'm going to go with 6 mg and add in enough of WholeCig's unflavored 36 mg WTA base (already on order) to bring it back up to around 15-18..
Once I have more tanks, I'll give Tribeca and Midnight Apple second chances as well, and I guess I'll probably get 7ml bottles of some of the other tobacco flavors to try out as well.
Marketing idea for Halo: Let people build their own sample packs.
