So far I'm not impressed, and I haven't even tasted the juice yet! LOL. I ordered supplies from 3 different companies and I still have not received the order from Halo. Placed an order last Friday with 101vape, was on my door Monday. Placed 2 orders Sunday, one from electronic stix the other from Halo. The Electronicstix order got here Wed. I'm still waiting for the Halo order? Plus, what's up with the no USPS tracking with Halo? All of my other orders have had tracking, and it worked just fine.

All I gotta say is this stuff better be good!

I think I'm going Mtbaker next time. I wanted to order from them in the first place but they were closed for maintenance. I'm starting to think that if I had just waited for them to open back up, I might have received my order by now? Ha ha.

I've noticed that Halo and all companies shipping through Kearny, NJ (surprisingly I've had a few ship from there in the past couple weeks) are taking a ridiculously long time for some reason. I wonder if they have a high volume going through there. It's always between NJ and the next hub that takes several business days--I think it's a USPS thing. Halo have some of the best juices I've tasted.

...I just waited 3 weeks for Fanceejuice...snip

Yes, me too - still waiting actually.

As for Halo, I think they got bogged down in the whole Black Friday madness too - they usually are fast shippers and always offer tracking. That was the bit that didn't make any sense to me - maybe there is actually an issue with your order (or it just hasn't shipped yet) or maybe it's a new policy or something. At the very least I've always gotten a tracking number that shows when it ships and when it gets delivered.

As for the juice itself, I went through a phase of pretty much vaping nothing else but Halo Tribeca and Belgian cocoa - I absolutely loved them both. Now I can't stand any Halo juice lol. Regardless of the other flavors I have tried (and I think I've tried almost all of them) they all seem to have a chemical undertone now.

It could just be my taste that has changed, and because of that I still would recommend Halo juice to vapers.

Finally, be aware that their juice is usually "pre-steeped" meaning it's vapable straight out of the mail, but when they get backed up with orders, it might be fresher and need a little steep time.

I always get an order confirmation email from them and towards the bottom of the page is a tracking number. And yes, their Juice is awesome!!! Good luck & VAPE ON:vapor:

Strange. The last time i ordered from Halo at 11pm, it shipped the next day, and got to me in 2 working days. Not too shabby at all. same for HHV.

On the topic of steeping, I know that brands like Halo generally come steeped, but I had a very different experience. I ordered the Shamrock, Tribeca (probably their most popular one), and Midnight apple.

Midnight apple was good right from the get go. Tribeca on the other hand start off VERY sweet and just. weird. After leaving it open capped for a full 24hrs, and letting it sit for a week, the sweetness mellowed down, and the taste is now perfect for a slightly-sweet-caramel-tobacco taste.

Shamrock was another beast. Took a whiff of the bottle straight from the mailbox, and that thing was intoxicating. SUPER strong alcohol smell, and it was just sharp and unpleasant. Left it uncapped for 4 days, sat it for 2 weeks. BOOM. thing is tasty as hell. Like what InTheShade said though, maybe it was because I bought it during one of their sales and they had to make fresh ones due to high volume.

Regardless, ALWAYS a good practice to just take a little puff of all your new samples just to see if they need any steeping.

If you sign on to your account and click on orders, then the order itself, you should see if it's been shipped or processing. If shipped, there should be a tracking#. You can also contact them via e-mail with a question about the order if all else fails. Good luck, I know the feeling of waiting for vape mail while my juice is running out - not a happy feeling!
Cheers,
Steve

I know I'm being impatient but I'm starting to run outta juice and really hope it arrives today because I really don't want to buy from a b&m around here. All they have is overpriced no name juice.

It usually takes 2-3 days for me to get my Halo order (Philly area). However, the last one took 5 days. Maybe because of the holidays....

^^This. Do not underestimate the volume of online shopping packages overwhelming the USPS this month (and not just from us vapers--Amazon, ebay, etc. .com's). But yeah, my 101vape order took 10(!) days to get to my doorstop (paid for priority 3-day, ugh!). USPS's fault not 101vape's. Thanks USPS, we vapers are anxious, anxious people, dontcha know?

Hoping your Halo order comes quickly. If you're like me, once you taste a premium liquid, the "no name" local liquids will be unacceptable. Lesson learned--ALWAYS keep your liquid inventory on hand at least 2 weeks deep.

Halo is a very good vendor. I was actually pretty impressed with them. It's the first place I ever got e liquid from. Honestly, i got turkish and mystic menthol. the turkish tobacco took a while to steep but once it did. it was pretty good. the flavor is hard to explain. actually pretty complex. the mystic menthol turned to taste more like mint icecream for some reason. it was pretty good, but might be better as a mixing flavor. at any rate like i said i wish to order there again. they are indeed a premium liquid vendor.

I really like Tribeca and Torque56 from Halo. I think I enjoyed Tribeca the most out of any store bought juice I purchased. I'm currently DIY my own juice and came up with a pretty close Tribeca clone, so all is good ;)


Wingsfan...care to share recipe? Always trying to find a close Tribeca clone. Thank you

I placed an order with Halo last Thursday. According to USPS it sat in the USPS sorting facility until yesterday. Quote expected arrival date 24 Dec unQuote. Any problems are with the US snail service not Halo.

Previous orders from Halo I placed on the weekend, shipped on Monday and in my mail box on Thursday. YMMV
