1. Tribeca (on Low resistance carto only or 8.5 Watts)
2. Torque 56 (I usually add a bit of Tribeca, sweetens it up and smooths it out a bit)
3. Freedom!

After vaping Halo for 1.5 years I just discovered their Freedom Juice! I never bought it before as description made it sound like a Tobacco I wouldn't vape all day, I was So Wrong! Freedom is now wrangling for position #1.

For Months now my only juice has been Prime 15 . Ever since I was sent a sample bottle. I have my other 50 juices on a basement shelf. Today I did order a bottle of Prime and a bottle of Torque 56. I love a tobacco flavor with great throat hit. Prime is a no nonsense juice. I'm hoping the Torque fits in the same catagory.

HX3 and Torque, for me. Torque is my go-to, all day vape. HX3 is just such an....odd...but wonderful taste. Very different from anything I've tried. Refreshing, almost.

With my morning coffee, Turkish / Freedom blend. I tend not to vape it around others, as it's potent.

Bella is an acquired taste. I enjoy it to switch things up, but don't vape it around others. People have complained of the smell :lol:

I have had people in my office say that Tribecca smells strong. I have been vaping Prime 15 for months now and nobody says
anything. I can still vape Tribecca if I want to,but don't want people to feel that I use my position to do what I want. Got to keep people around you happy.

I think you're going to really like the Torque. Like the Prime 15, it's really a no nonsense vape but very satisfying. Almost (but not quite) a sweet finish. Really reminds me of fresh cut, high quality, 'bacco BEFORE its put to a flame. Hands down the best tobacco juice flavor I've ever tried.

1. Turkish Tobacco
2. Tribecca
3. Torque 56

I keep trying other vendors, but haven't found an equal to Halo. Only problem is that Halo seems to have a heavier scent that lingers and gets into fabrics. Anyone else had this issue, and what did you do about it?
Thanks.

Bella is a culprit, here. Tastes great...smells very strong. Cutting with some VG reduces this.

I got to sample all of my tobacco sampler this weekend. plus a few sample bottles of more flavored stuff.

1. Torque56 - Raisins, Licorice, and leather? Does that sound about right? Doesn't matter. I found my brand. After puffing a lot of stuff the past few days, I think I found my brand.
2. Belgian Cocoa - I didn't think I would ever want a 30ml of a flavored juice. This one is easily my 2nd favorite.
3. Turkish Tobacco/Captain Jack - both are totally different. Turkish is a nice dry, cedar tasting puff and Jack is like very good Cherry pipe tobacco. I would want either depending on my mood.

The rest I am fairly meh about. HX3/Midnight Apple I like but don't need more than a sampler of. Cafe Mocha isn't Cafe' enough, but my wife loves the smell of it. and Tribeca/Prime 15 - I can't really tell a huge difference. Both smell like peanut butter to me, which I like, but Tribeca seems to be a milder form of Prime 15. If anyone can tell me different please do! I think I wouldn't mind a 30 of Prime now and then.

Wow! I JUST ordered some tiki on a whim yesterday! (was looking for a 4th bottle to get my points lol). I was just
checking the halo forum to see what people thought of it so thanks! :)

So far my fav halo's are tribeca, mystic menthol and Malibu! Love all the one's I have tried though. I don't know what many of the flavors are like on their own, I am always mixing them. :D

I have two favorites and a third that's a runner-up:

For the sweeter stuff, it's Longhorn. I thought for a hot minute that Bella Valente would occupy that spot, but I tried Bella out and it just never did lose that perfumey character, so Longhorn is the sweet stuff for me.

For the analog-alike, in my opinion nothing beats Prime 15. It's got that earthy thing that reminds me of the unfiltered smokes I started with waaaay back when I would swipe Lucky Strikes and Chesterfield Kings from my grandpa's garage when I was a teenager.

The runner up is definitely Tribeca. It hits that spot right between the other two: Darker and deeper than Longhorn, but sweeter than Prime 15. Tribeca is that after-the-work-day-is-done flavor.

Steeping them for at least a week really brings out the difference between the two. That "peanut butter" you're getting from Prime 15 is what clued me in to that. For the first couple weeks, peanut butter is exactly the smell I get from Prime 15, while Tribeca has a nose that adds chocolate to the peanut butter.

After 2 or 3 weeks of steeping, though, Prime 15 and Tribeca give radically different noses and flavors. Prime 15 matures into a nose and flavor that's somewhere between "just opened pack of unfiltered cigarettes" and "freshly turned earth", while Tribeca shifts toward "filtered cigarette and caramel cappucino."

I was going pretty hand to mouth with my Juices at the beginning, but I now have a bit of a collection so steeping might be an option for some things. Do I need the cap off to steep? Or does simply opening and a good shake introduce enough air to get the process going?

Honestly, man, I'm no expert on any particular techniques for steeping. What I do is, I open the bottle, let it get some good air flow for about 15 to 30 minutes, then just closer 'er back up and let 'er sit. If you want to give it a shake every now and then, I don't see where that will hurt it, but I'm not sure if or how it helps, either.
