I used to hate menthol cigarettes. If I were broke and out of cigs I'd go without before bumming a menthol from one of my friends...but,

The Halo newpure is nice, I liked it from the first try and it's growing on me.

Yeah the only times I used menthols when I was smoking was anytime I got sick with a sore throat to the point of almost not being able to breathe. I would buy a pack of Newports to use then but other than that menthol was always to "candyish" to me and made me crave a real smoke.

Tried a couple menthols with e-cigs and they are okay but still not my thing. I'm sure I'll give the Newpure a try at some point.

I love the newpure but don't think it could be my all day vape. Newport smokers will want more of the menthol taste depending on there PV.

My sister has always been a Newport/menthol smoker and the Newpure was one of the things I had her get the night she ordered her first set of e-cig stuff and she loves it.

<raising hand> Newport Light 100's smoker here - it's the only brand I ever smoked and was unhappy if I ever had to smoke anything else.

Wait - I need to correct that... Former Newport smoker here! :D

I always found menthol e-liquid "sweet and candyish" - and it made me really crave my cigs. The Halo menthols are anything but candyish or sweet! I just ordered more Newpure and I'll probably order another bottle of the other two menthols. There is just something I like about all of them.

Surprising - I like the Freedom! It's the first non-menthol "tobacco" flavor I've taken to.

The Bella is now sounding pretty good as well! Hearing me say that is weird because I can't handle cigar smoke, but - now having experience with the Halo smoke-juices, I know that it's probably unique and I may find something I like about it.

Thanks for posting the review. I enjoy reading how people experience different e-liquids :)

I would try to get a sample of it, I thought exactly what you thought and boy was I wrong. If you don't like cigars you probally won't like it. I am not saying don't try it but I wouldn't buy a 30ml bottle. Now the Newpure is very good. I just think i wouldn't get tired of it if it was my daily vape. I was never big into menthol but the Newpure is awesome.

Out of curiosity---How does the Bella Vanilla compare to some V4L flavors? For instance-the V4L french vanilla ice cream.. Well, I hate it. And most other ice cream, cream, butter, whatever flavors.


It is nothing like any kind of vanilla, or ice cream or other sweetish flavors I have ever tried. I have not tried the one you mention.

It reminds me of pipe tobacco, smooth and rich, with a hint of vanilla.
I have never liked cigars, or smoking pipes although I love the smell of them, the harshness of the smoke was always too much for me. For me this is the goodness of pipe tobacco without the harshness of he smoke.

OK got my Harley 56 and love it, but the samplers of Belle Vanilla is well not really to my liking. Its got some weird pipe tobacco kind of taste and I'm not getting any vanilla taste at all.. I've only tried one cart full but will give it a try again tomorrow but if the results are the same I'm thinking this may go on the back shelf. I think if people are thinking there getting some vanilla tasting juice there going to be disappointed. But thats just my take on it.

Actually I seen somebody else make this comment and it is dead on:
Someone on another thread said it tasted like you were vapeing one of those old-fashioned cedar jewelry boxes, lol ! That's kinda what I'm getting too !

Not trying to beat this to death but after vaping 20 more minutes all I can say is I think this Belle Vanilla sucks, I can't get that cedar taste out of my mouth or atty. I'm really curious to see if anybody actually likes it.

If that's true, then he must have come close to nailing it. That woody-cedar taste is a charactersitic of many very good cigars, San Cristobal comes to mind. All cigar vapes that I have tried suck ...---major .... You can't replicate the flavor of good Nicuraguan , Cuban tobacco.. it's the oils..

But if non-cigar smokers say it sux, then it's probably closer to the real thing.

That could very well be true, just thinking they should have named it something like cedar chip cigar instead of Belle Vanilla, little misleading on the vanilla part. :confused: JMO

I've tried Freedom, Newpure and now Bella and Harley. I like them all and can't decide which one I like best. One thing I've found interesting is my 510 and Ego perform better with Halo juice. I use the blu foam mod and it just wicks better and more consistent. With other brands that are sweet they seem to clog the cart and I end up filling my cart all the time.

True.
Now you know how I feel when I order all these things that say cigar and are not remotely close to a cigar :D

It's sacrilegious ....

So I will still have me a real cigar every now and again and vape daily, it's all good.

I think your right. The name might fool some people so dont forget it is Bella Vanilla cigar.

I get the hint of vanilla with a cigar tobacco flavor. Not being a cigar smoker it's different for sure. Don't expect a knock your socks off vanilla taste. I can taste the vanilla but it's just a hint under the tobacco flavor.

Some cigar smokers should review this juice.

I probably will try some of hte freedom, maybe even the newpure (though Im not a menthol smoker, I was once long long ago), but the Bella vanilla is clearly marked CIGAR - not sure why people are being surprised by that?
Maybe its been awhile since they had juice that tasted like it said it did? lol
Roll on coffee flavors pls Halo, I would like to try those, having been regularly disappointed with coffee dekang bases :(

Well I really didn't look into it that much, it was a free sample and I'm not really a vanilla person so didn't check it out on there web site. I have had some cigar juice before and sure didn't have that taste. I'm not baggin on Halo here I was just stating I didn't care for it, well actually its probably the worse taste(to me) that I've ever had. I mean I hope the cigar smokers love it, just took me by surprise.
