I have a 7ml in a Halo gourmet sample pack I'm going through. After I've tried it I'll post my impressions.

My 7ml of Shamrock will be here tomorrow. I'll post impressions too. Looking forward to comparing notes. Most of my impressions are different than others' impressions.

I don't taste caramel or chocolate in Tribecca. I don't taste vanilla in Longhorn. I don't taste clove in Tiki Juice. I taste a touch of candy cane-ish syrup in Menthol Ice.

Guess my wine taster career change is pretty much out of consideration.

Halo IS the "cleanest" vape I've had. Their SubZero is my all day vape!

As far as orders go, the one I placed at the end of April was a little slow, but I did receive it 6 days after I ordered it. No problem.

My latest order was placed this past Sunday. It is tracking for arrival tomorrow. Absolutely Halo perfect :)

I routinely hear spiced tobacco, clove, etc. I don't taste any of that. Some have said root beer, and I kind of see why.

On the way in I taste a bit of vanilla coke. On the way out, cherry coke. Overall, kinda like Dr. Pepper. Maybe my taste buds will change after some more cig-free time and it'll taste different.

edit: I really like Tiki Juice. It's my evening/at home vape. My all day vape is Menthol Ice.

This sounds like a really strange juice; maybe I should have ordered something more "normal" for my first Halo purchase. How mellow is the tobacco flavor, or do you not really pick up any at all?

I don't pick up any tobacco. It's a very good juice, so I wouldn't be worried. I haven't read any comments stating it wasn't good. And I wouldn't take my perception of its flavor as any authority on the subject. I'm in the extreme minority of what I think it tastes like.

I ordered Turkish Tobacco and Belgian Cocoa cartos with my G6 kit. I've since ordered the Tobacco and Gourmet Sampler. Tasted all but Shamrock and Twisted Java. Turkish Tobacco and Belgian Cocoa are still probably my two favorites. Halo's flavor descriptions seemed to work for me.

Shamrock, to me, is much like a certain young-ladies scout brand mint chocolate cookie, but more dry, and more dark chocolate than sweet. Don't get me wrong, it's defintely a desert-ish vape, just not overly sweet.

Twisted java, again, to me, is vaguely coffee with chocolate and mint notes. Sort of a shamrock with coffee, if you will.

all my opinions, of course. :)

Turkish Tobacco.

I only have about 2ml left, and I hadn't re-ordered any. I opted for sample bottles of Prime and Freedom on my last order. Good thing to, since I'm not caring for Prime at all -- too nutty. I haven't had enough Freedom yet (working on my first ml as we speak) to know if I could vape it all day.

But I adore Halo's Turkish @24mg.

That probably would have been my choice too if I didn't already order some!
I think Turkish is a near masterpiece!
I've never smoked pure Turkish tobacco but used to smoke Camels. And this e-juice reminds me of the 'good' flavors in the Camel cigarette blend!
24mg gives me the jitters so I ordered the 18mg. It tastes too good to stop at 5 or 6 pulls!

I go with 12mg/ml for my highest nic - I take stimulants and drink coffee, I don't think I need anything higher than that! :) I also buy some in 6 and some in 0, esp for late night chain vaping.

From Halo's catalog I have gone through Malibu, Mystic, SubZero, Tiki Juice, Feeedom Juice, Tribeca, Prime 15, Belgian Cocoa, Kringle's Curse and Twisted Java! (In addition to reordering some faves have Shamrock and HX3 on the way lol!)

In the ones I have tried, not one have I disliked. The Freedom juice I vaped upon arrival and it was the first time I encountered the "perfume" flavor but it still didn't stop me from vaping the ml in my mini-tank! :) Tribeca is my #1 fave... the one I wish I had a 30 ml bottle in all three strengths I vape. But honestly I could have a 30 ml bottle in every flavor I've tried so far and have no problem vaping them empty.

I have no other reasons to love Halo besides the facts I have been extremely happy with the hardware, I absolutely love each flavor I've tried (and I have no problem ever being honest about what I like), and their customer service has been wonderful. I knew nothing about the company when I first ordered from them. I was as close to ordering a kit from blu but honestly I went with Halo because I liked they had a pink battery! :) I fully expected to have tried multiple vendors for liquids and even hardware but I've just been too content to bother.

I promise I will quickly express anything critical if I have a negative experience but with Halo it just hasn't happened yet!

Just tried Shamrock. The first thing that came to mind is Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies. But in reality it's dry Halo Belgian (good), a drier version of Kringle's (pepperminty, pretty good), and what almost ruins it for me is it has that same coffee based flavor that kinda tastes like popcorn. :(
The same coffee base that's used in Café Mocha. Sorry, Halo you make some great juice but your so called coffee base needs reexamined. IMHO
Coffee's come a long way since Folgers freeze dried.
That being said. The coffee note is not as up front as in the Café Mocha. So it could be in here to represent the baked cookie dough part of the 'thin mint' thing. :vapor: :vapor:
Jury's still out Shamrock.
Oh, and Twisted Java is a minty version of the Café Mocha. :nah: I guess I'll have to keep shelling out $4+ for my Mochas. :laugh:

Yeah, I got the hazelnut note on the Cafe Mocha. It just kinda reminded me of one of those flavored, instant coffees of long ago. Coffee of low quality.

I guess I was expecting more of a latte style mocha with high quality espresso, frothed milk, and sweetened cocoa powder or chocolate syrup. Like the café mochas you get at McDonald's or Starbucks.

Interesting!! I actually really love their coffee flavoring! :) I plowed through my twisted java really quickly. That popcorn-y peanut butter-y ice cream cone-y flavor in some of the liquids I've tried I love! To me that is the "signature" Halo flavor I can't imagine I'd find in any other liquid. I have found Tribeca mixed with some Tiki Juice totally helps kill my sweet tooth if I get late night cravings. Until I ran out of twisted java (I have more coming!) my favorite morning vape combo was twisted java and Tribeca. Heaven in a ml! :)

One thing I've noticed is that if I vape on one mini tank throughout the day the liquid tends to get really dark (even clear ones). It tastes fine (if anything even a little better) and not burnt in the slightest but is this kind of normal? Does this happen with the larger Halo tanks for the Triton?

Just saw my order I placed fairly late last night has already shipped. WTG Halo!
