The TMP is more forgiving and I needed the full 1% to offer the full musty/cocoa note found in Prime. If anything, I would increase everything a little more, starting with T5 @ 8-10%. I won't try that until this tester batch has time to steep, but I do find that Prime is stronger in flavor than this. It could very well just be steep time that is needed.
EDIT: Yes. I did bad math. It would be 1%AP and 2%TMP. I'll fix the post, thanks.
To be clear, 1 drop from a 24dr/ml dropper is 0.8% of 5ml and two drops would be 1.6%. For large batches, I would go by the exact percentages and adjust to taste. You could round up (1% and 2%), but I would increase the T5 to 8-10% to balance it.

Hello fellow DIYers,
I know a French website that offers a range of flavor concentrates designed to replicate Halo juices. As far as I know this is the only vendor carrying these flavors (and they price them accordingly, unfortunately). I don't know if they ship internationally though. I tried several of them and they were impressively close to the real thing.
The brand is named Aqua, it is a pun as "Halo" sounds in French like "a l'eau" which means "with water".
Aqua (arômes concentrés) - E-liquide.com
Arome Shisha Pomme -> Midnight Apple
Arome Ice Menthol -> Menthol Ice
Arome Revolution -> Freedom Juice
Arome Route 66 -> Torque 56
Arome 555 -> Prime 15
Arome RY5 -> Tribeca
Arome Flash -> Smooth 8
Arome Cuba -> Bella Valente
Also FYI "Disponible" means "available" and "Stock épuisé" means "out of stock".

Thanks for the clearification. I'll report back on my results as soon as I get my order.
Got the TMP and added it to a 30ml bottle of my already steeped prime clone and it's heading in the right direction but at 2% it's still not as musty as prime 15. It does seem to be the missing ingredient. I'll give it a few days to steep and go back to it. If anyone else is trying TMP please report back your results and what percentage you used.

I agree with your assessment. I made a big batch for a friend and it seemed it needed more TMP, but I want to wait a few weeks to see how it steeps.

I get mine from ecigexpress, but I know Vaping Zone carries it too. Some have said that the two vendors vary in taste, but I have not tried VZ as a source. ecigexpress only carries 10ml bottles of concentrated flavor. VZ carries both 10ml and 30ml. Both are priced similarly. Beware when looking for Hangsen e-juice that you don't buy pre-mixed liquid. You will want DIY concentrate or "essence".
Mixing another test batch at 3% TMP will report results after UC steep.
Went to 3% and still not quite there. I think it's still missing somthing. I don't think it's just TMP theres still somthing else missing somthing mossy.
Not sure if this helps, as I've never had Halo's tobaccos, but their Belgian Cocoa has a real musty taste to it as well. I've found that FA's "chocolate" has the same dry/mustiness to it which mimicks the base of Belgian Cocoa nicely. I've mixed this up in a personal NET recipe and have been letting it steep for a few days. Perhaps .5-1% of this could help with your guys' quest?
K just tested my NET recipe and the .5% FA Chocolate is very much 'there', even at such a low %. I'm assuming if 'Prime' has very small hints of dry cocoa, it might be closer to .3% with the addition of TMP. Its worth noting that my recipe also had 1drop/5 of Tetramethyl from TFA.
I agree that the prime is a bit more chocolaty than this recipe, even with 3% TMP. A drop of chocolate would probably do the trick. Keep trying. I don't have FA chocolate, but I have others. It may not matter much. We're 99% there.

I was thinking the same thing just for the fact according the the description of the musty note but I'm not sure of the raw coffee note or cocoa.
I do have some FA chocolet so I'll give that a try.
taste description: Nutty, musty, cocoa, drying, peanut-like and raw coffee notes.
If you try it let us know.
