OK, I am now a raving mad man... I have been laid up with the flu for the last few days and missed the Halo sale. I had been waiting for so long for their triumph return and miss that great sale. Now I am just sitting with my last 2 bottles of Newpure I picked up from another dealer while they were out. Oh well there is nothing like paying full price if you enjoy something... whimper whimper. :(

Email me Jimi, you know we'll make good for you.

Mine updated today (got the email from Halo), but when i got home it already arrived! It probably helps i'm in NJ though.

That didn't help at all. I'm in Texas, my order shipped yesterday and I got it today! I did opt of the $2 upgraded shipping, though. But still. That's fast!

I think the shipping was just first come, first serve. Because I ordered mine ~10:30 central time, since Halo started the sale an hour early.

Got mine in today.

Im really sorry to say, I don't like it. Im sure its a fine juice, and it seems to be quite popular, but that ginger flavor (I taste it in Smooth 8, and in the torque 56, both on different attys) I just cant get my head around it.

Its a very pervasive flavor too.. Im having a heckofatime getting it out of my attys.

Not a slam against halo in the slightest, Love the packaging, bottles are great, and the liquid seems of a high quality, but I just cant hang with the flavor.

Perhaps in time, as my tastes evolve I can get back into'em, but for now I gotta shelve them.

The Ginger / cedar flavor reminds me (pretty dead on) of the Tazo Ginger tea. (If you're curious as to the flavor, go drop $2 at starbucks for the ginger tea. they carry it)

I love me some tea, but I find that one undrinkable.

Sucks too, as I really like true ginger flavor.

Oh well. Thanks to Halo anyways, good looking product, super quick shipping.

Some liquids need to sit a while and the flavors change a bit. I'm not sure of Halo's are like that or not. You might want to revisit them in a few days or next week some time. Also, a lot of people have said that Smooth8 in particular is alarming at first, but then grows on them.

I'm still waiting for my first order from them to arrive. I hope I like them. 3 x 30ml is quite a lot of liquid for me. I've heard comparisons between NHaler Cigarillo and Freedom, Cigarillo is pretty good in my book, so I'm hopeful... and hoping I find out tomorrow :)

If it doesn't grow on you, PM.

I KNEW if I only bought one bottle of each (Smooth 8, Torque & Freedom) I'd love it :(

I got my Harley (Torque) today. I first compared nhaler's octane Cigarillo to Freedom and now I gotta say that Torque is pretty darn close to the octane Signature Tobacco. There are small differences but they are close. Freedom is just like Cigarillo but with a subtle cedar-y flavor while Torque and Signature both have that savory flavor. Torque - a little deeper flavor but gosh these are close.

I think its safe to say that if you like one of these product lines, you'll like the other. They are mirror images.

Torgue and nHaler Signature are almost indistinguishable. Same with Freedom and Cigarillo. I have't done a head to head comparison between Smooth8 and nHaler Plain Tobacco, but I think those two may also be very similar to one another.

The flavorings in Torgue are a little overbearing to me. The description on the site describes it "like an unfiltered cigarette". Not at all. Of the three, this one has the most intense flavor, but those flavors are not at all like an unfiltered cigarette.

I like the milder flavor of Freedom and Smooth8.

I'm glad I got these, they're good!

Hard to make a judgment after one day, but I'm leaning toward liking the octane line better. I like Halo but the flavors are a little too rich or heavy feeling. The octane nails it on the flavor but taste simpler and cleaner I guess. Both have very authentic tobacco flavors.

I think the Halo liquids have a bit more of that cedary'ness to them too. Smooth8 does have a heavier feeling than octane Plain Tobacco. Across the two lines, I think those two are the most different from one another.

Its definitely too early for me to say which I like more. Really it may come down to what I'm in the mood for... more amped up, take the Halo... a little lighter, take the octane.

I ordered a bottle of Freedom and Torque 56 during the sale. I have to say your experience is pretty much identical to mine.

To me the flavors are nothing like tobacco at all. The Freedom has a very cedar like smell/taste to it. The Torque is somewhat similar, but less cedar, and more of something else I haven't put my finger on yet. The flavors are extremely strong.

I normally vape at 6 volts on standard 901 atomizers, but the Halo juice was just too much. I've since dropped down to 3.7 volts and it's better at the lower voltage. I think it's growing on me somewhat. I know when I first tried JC Original, which is my daily vape, I wasn't thrilled, it took time for it to grow on me.

Flavor aside, the juice does have very nice vapor and throat hit. Probably a best balance of the two in any juice I've tried. The service, shipping, packaging, and quality are all top notch.

I'm just getting over a cold, so that could be affecting my taste somewhat. I'll keep vaping it and see how it turns out. It may be my new daily vape by next week, you never know.

Ditto not a lot like tobacco to me either. Tobacco inspired maybe, a bit of tobacco buried in there somewhere with a bunch of other stuff, somehow reminiscent of smoking a cigarette without tasting at all like it. And yes, very powerful flavors.

I'm still searching for that "one" tobacco vape. These flavors are nice (to me), but they're pretty far removed from actual tobacco and powerfully flavored. On my list still is EcoPURE and UltraPure. I also just sampled Crystal Liquid Tobacco today, it's the most plain cigarette'ish vape I've tried thus far, but it doesn't taste good (to me). I may end up having to mix one of these more flavor'y tobacco inspired liquids with a simpler clearner tobacco vape to get what I'm looking for. AELs Tobacco flavor might be good as the simpler cleaner flavor. It's what I would call a "Fresh Tobacco" flavor (think leaf cut from field and liquefied). A 50/50 mix with one of these Halo juices might work.

It never ceases to amaze me how taste buds can differ I don't think Torque and nHaler signature taste remotely alike. :)

Go figure... I suppose I should have added "to me" :) I'm sampling these on 401 and 901 attys fyi.
 
Got mine yesterday and plowed into them to see what's good and what's not. To me, all of them taste pretty much the same- an overpowering Bergamot flavor that obscures any other flavoring that might be in there. The Torque 56 tasted a lot like alcohol.

Somewhat of a disappointment, was looking for new flavors and found the same flavor in three different bottles. The TH and vapor is superb. I like earl gray tea, so the Bergamot taste isn't that bad to me.

I have one unopened Torque 56 that I'll probably sell / trade sometime in the near future.
