Anyone want to describe how the menthols compare?

Hey guys. So with the Labor Day 20% off sale I HAVE to stock up on more Halo menthol juices. They are by far my favorite juices I've ever had. :) But there are 2 I've never tried and I'm having trouble imagining how they are just by reading the descriptions on the website.

I've tried Menthol Ice and SubZero. The Menthol Ice is hands down my #1 juice, and SubZero is incredible but it just has a LITTLE too much of the cooling blast through my throat and sinuses. So how do Mystic and Cool Mist compare to these other 2? Some reviews on the Halo site compare them in kind of a mild-to-strong way like:

Cool Mist < Mystic < Menthol Ice < SubZero

Is this accurate, or is there more to the story, like maybe one has more of a spearmint flavor, one has too little of the menthol cooling effect, etc. Thanks!

You're on the right track as far as increasing strength. Everyone's taste buds are a bit different, and mine have changed in the 4 months or so that I've been vaping after quitting a pack a day habit for 20 years, so here's my opinions...

Menthol Ice and Mystic are very close in flavor. Mystic is lighter, but not much. It's main allure to me is that it's less harsh. It's been my go-to for a few weeks now.

Sub-Zero is a different animal; it doesn't have any of that touch of sweetness that Menthol Ice and Mystic have. I think it tastes like an unflavored Hall's menthol cough drop.

Cool Mist is a bit different than the others too. It doesn't have that sweetness that the others have, it's a bit on the harsher side, yet has what's missing from Sub-Zero IMO. It's not as harsh as Menthol Ice, but not as smooth either. That's a bit contradictory, but I don't know how else to describe it.

If you've got no interest in HX3 or Kringle's Curse, don't get a menthol sampler pack. If you're curious about them, give it a whirl. Can't go wrong with a 7ml bottle of Mystic and Cool Mist.

If you haven't tried one, bottom coil tanks change things up a bit. The cooling effect is enhanced. After trying a few, I much prefer bottom coil tanks with menthol flavors, but that's another thread.

[Cool Mist is] not as harsh as Menthol Ice, but not as smooth either. That's a bit contradictory, but I don't know how else to describe it.

I have to admit I don't know what you mean. But you knew it was a confusing description. :D No worries though, I'll most likely just buy 30 mls of both Mystic and Cool Mist to try them myself anyway.

And --

Agreed! After vaping for years, once I finally tried a Kanger Evod I never looked back. It is all I use and my cartos are collecting dust. I'm going to be buying a Protank 2 soon too. I wasn't a fan of the first Protank, but the Evod is a slam dunk.

But like you said... that's kind of off-topic. So menthol, menthol, menthol.
