Halo Throat Hit

[Skeebo]

I wish I could rationalize Halo's ingredients and quit using them. I love me some Tribeca, Torque, and my favorite: Prime 15. It's getting costly. You guys better stay away from Boba's Bounty too, the TH is amazing!

People actually think that a company successful as Halo is adding something sinister to their juice?

Like stated before, e liquid is becoming big business. I wouldn't give out my proprietary recipe either.

 

[machinestatic]

Holy conspiracy theory, Batman.

My 2 cents is vape whatever you want, and if you don't like a brand of juice, by ALL means stop buying it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, taste is purely subjective. But I don't see any Halo customers being rushed to the hospital due to their recipes, or going crazy, taking off their clothes, and biting people under highway overpasses. Hm, then again... that gives me an idea of what to do this weekend.

Maybe they are just used to bottom shelf mystery juice with no flavor or throat hit, so don't understand why the difference when they vape a quality e-juice...

 

[New2vaps]

Just because no one had been rushed to the hospital from vaping halo doesn't mean their ingredients are safe.

Are they really worried about revealing proprietary recipe ingredients or revealing ingredients that shouldn't be vaped??? Something to think about, wouldn't you say?

Please, carry on, vape what you like. If you like vaping mysterious ingredients for the sake of taste and throat hit, that's your choice. I chose to vape ejuices that I am able to communicate with my vendor about what actually goes in making it. I like asking my vendor questions and receiving answers.

Halo - proprietary recipe ingredients - What a joke lol

This is a very good point. Any vendor can just say whatever they want when they email you. And I'm all for people vaping what they like.

The trouble is the countdown clock has started for the FDA regs and it's primarily been a war of perception. When a vendor has secret ingredients, adds food coloring to look cool (Radiator Pluid anyone?), or adds something unnecessary to the juice it just makes it easier to make the whole vaping thing look bad. As far as I'm concerned the vendors either need to shape up or ship out. I've tried a good number of vendors now and the only thing Halo is doing special is the throat hit and I say that after trying two samplers. It's just marketing to make you feel like you are getting something special.

You said, "Halo - proprietary recipe ingredients - What a joke lol ", so I am assuming either you talked to them or it's written some where and you read it. AmIrite???????????????

PS. No need to be upset about it. If it makes you feel better I am quitting Halo liquids right now!<--- only one exclamation point is necessary. I has my right hand raised saying mother of jebus and all that.

If you don't believe me then I challenge you to send Halo an email about what's in their ejuice and see their response. Actually, in your case I say just start with the basics, ask them what the ratio of PG/VG is and see what their response is.

You can type more exclamation points if you like, go for it.

I support everyones freedom to vape what they want to vape. My issue is not with your choice or anyone else. My issue with the Vendor not disclosing or answering questions and blaming it on trade secrets and fear of someone steeling their magical receipe.

You can lower your hand now, I made my points. Like you said no need to get upset. Vape what you want, but I urge you for your sake to question what you vape. Good luck

 

[Skeebo]

Hey I can respect your stance. I just don't believe a company saying they want to protect their recipe due to proprietary reasons means something nefarious is going on. It could very well mean they don't want others copying their very popular stuff. To be clear, I just came from the Newport camp. God knows what's in that "you'll give me your firstborn" cigarette. Also, when I read their site and it says Halo has laboratories in which their product is made, I am in no way envisioning people walking around in white jump suits with masks on.

You and I just have different thoughts on the subject. And, that's quite all right.

Funny thing is, the most common ingredients in any e-juice are 'natural and artificial ingredients'... I wonder if those who feel the need to know every ingredient eat. After all, every ingredient list I have ever seen for processed food is vague, to an extent, in order to protect trade secrets. How about restaurants? What are they putting in that peppercorn sauce to make it so good? My guess is some just have a beef with Halo, thus the accusations of 'chemicals' and mystery ingredients to provide throat hit. Perhaps it is the cost...

 

[Thundernoggin]

For me it has nothing to do with cost. Everything I vape costs more than Halo. Nor do I think they are putting anything nefarious in the juice. It's simply game over for them, they aren't really doing anything special, yet they continue the marketing scheme of proprietary blends which in the end will wind up hurting us all.

Really? What marketing does Halo do that focuses on their proprietary blends? Can you provide a link to one of their advertisements saying such a thing? Oddly enough, they are one of the largest e-juice manufacturers in the US; doesn't seem to be hurting their business...

He is referring to some effect what I copied and pasted from their web site below: Read the BOLD

Throat Hit
The second key component to premium ejuice or eliquid is the Throat Hit. Throat hit is the feeling a smoker gets when the nicotine hits the back of their throat while inhaling. It’s the difference between feeling like you inhaled “smoke” versus air, and is a main component of good eliquid and ejuice. In the past other manufacturers have just increased the nicotine level to offer a stronger throat hit. This worked well for those wanting a higher nicotine concentration, but left the “light” smokers without an eliquid and ejuice that delivered a good throat hit. Halo’s unique formula has overcome this obstacle by producing the Throat Hit without the need for additional nicotine. Now all electronic cigarette smokers can enjoy a great Throat Hit without being forced to increase their nicotine consumption.

Actually knowing what marketing means would be helpful for some...
I see. It is the secret 'chemicals'... Maybe they just make good juice...

Marketing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to customers, for the purpose of selling that product or service.

You seems to be missing the whole point. If you like their juice and enjoy vaping it carry on. That's cool. But in my opinion, and an opinion not delivered with any venom, a company like Ahlusion makes Halo's claims of proprietary formula look like a joke.

I think your taking the terminology used way out of context. While I agree with you that they are not using "marketing strategies" they are making statements how their ejuice has better throat hit than any other ejuice. By also not disclosing their PG/VG level and their ingredients being secret, is harming the vape community. That is what Thundernoggin was referring to.

Then again, only someone who cares what they vape would have picked up on that. It is the secret 'chemicals'... Maybe they just add ingredients that we shouldn't vape.

I started with a Halo triton system and a lot of Halo eliquids and can't handle the brutal throat hit. The only way I can use Halo eliquids is if I mix pure VG or VG nicotine into it. If you're looking to lower the throat hit I also don't recommend getting their unflavored Fusion. It's also harsh. Definitely try out a few other eliquid vendors if you're looking for something easier on your throat.

 

[misterholidayhouse]

I would really be surprised if Halo uses anything besides a higher than usual PG/VG ratio to achieve their throat hit. Period. It's not rocket science. It's just several common ingredients mixed with flavorings. Accusing them of using ingredients that are purposely bad for us is completely ridiculous. I'm sure they are well prepared, probably more so than anyone, for future FDA regulations and probably already have a detailed list of ingredients at the ready if big brother demands them. It cracks me up when people take cheap conspiratory shots at the largest producers with state of the art production facilities. Usually the same people who rave about some juice they just bought at a B&M that was mixed up in the sink the day before..
