Frankly, i agree with you.
I ordered Torque 56, Smooth 8, and freedom, and personally, couldnt stand any of them!
The liquids seemed of great quality, the flavors (such as they were) seemed pure, but whatever mix of flavors they use just didnt agree with me.
The packaging, and customer service seems top-notch, and with so many rave reviews, I too, really wanted to like this product.
Such is the fickle nature of individual tastes, i guess.
I tried them when I got them, then for due diligence, I tried them again a week later. I now have 2 attys I cant get that cedar / ginger flavor out of.
My bottles have since been mailed off to others who genuinely like them, and I'm glad they found a home.
I am not knocking Halo, just stating that I (personally) did not like the flavors I tried from them at all.
