I love to read juice reviews but usually don't like doing them because we all know how subjective taste is. I decided I at least had to give my opinion on this new juice called Tribeca from Halo. Because its subjective though, here's some background on me. I've been doing this for 15 months and it feels like I've tried it all as a lot of you have. My daily tape for at least the past six months has been Halo Menthol Ice which is ironic being I wasn't a menthol smoker. I still try new juice every month. I like RY4 in general, I like stuff like Backwoods Brew, although MsT's Bakery is unique and good quality, its not for me. I'm still looking for the perfect Cherry or Cherry tobacco and haven't found it. Taste may be subjective but I need at least decent vapor and a good throat hit. So that's me.

The reason I'm writing this is because I've had a unique experience. When I first opened Tribeca, the smell immediately appealed to me which surprised me for some reason. I then dripped it on a Sidesho LR atty from ModernVapor and took a drag. The words Oh My God actually came out of my mouth and made me laugh because I didn't expect to say anything. It seriously came out of no where. The throat hit and vapor (and the taste for me) were huge and amazing. I even had to immediately have my wife try it. My wife has used the same juice for 15 months. She was as blown away as me. We now mostly use cartos, not attys, but to be fair, Tribeca wasn't as strong in a carto and the taste changed - as do all juices in my opinion. It was still good and reminded me at that point a little like Casablanca from BWB (which is a compliment), but it didn't have the wow factor anymore. Such a big wow factor, that I've bought more attys and drip tips for both myself AND my wife, who isn't touching her old juice. Enjoy and feel free to add. And as always, thanks for an amazing community!

So here is the scoop with Tribeca.....I LOVE IT!!!! Ive been using the e-cig since january of this year so no more real smokes for me...maybe 1 here and there...he he. Anyways, Ive tried TONS of e-liquid from tons of other companies, Halo included. I just havent(before Tribeca) found MY flavor. There are some I like, and some that I hate, but I LOVE Tribeca. Its got a tast of its own which I couldnt come close to describing other than perfect! They sent me a sample of it with my last order and I didnt try it right away, but when I did try it....I used the whole damn thing up! I ordered 2 bottles of Menthol Ice from them because I could tolerate it okay and it was the best I had found to date, and I, like someone who posted on here , wasnt a menthol smoker either. Im pretty sure my second bottle will remain unopened because I have decided anything other than TRIBECA is a waste of my time. THANK YOU HALO FOR YOUR AWESOME NEW FLAVOR!!!!!! You have made me a truely happy girl!!!!!

Hi all. I think including a free sample of a new flavor is a great way to get customer feedback. Since Halo has done that, and have also had some great customer service, I'll be happy to make Tribeca the first E-Liquid review that I do.

First off, some background on me. I was a 2 pack a day menthol smoker for the past 15 years until I tried vaping. That was about 2 months ago, and I haven't smoked a cigarette since a few days after my Ego arrived. Thats the device I've been using, and as strange as it may seem I don't really enjoy dripping. I've been using the Boge LR cartomizers, and think they are great. Especially for trying different flavors, since each carto can hold a dedicated flavor rather than getting a weird mix when using the same atomizer for different flavors. I've tried a lot of flavors, but for the most part daily I stick with a rotation of a bunch of different menthols, including all three of halos menthol flavors, and a cinnamon bun flavor I really like.

So on to the Tribecca. I've never enjoyed non-menthol cigarettes, and the few tobacco flavors I've tried haven't really been anything that I would vape daily. I like some of them, but like I said I wouldn't be able to vape one of them all day. So when I saw that Tribecca was a tobacco flavor, I wasn't expecting to love it. I opened the bottle, and really liked the smell of it. Definitely has the strongest scent of all the Halo Flavors in my opinion, but with such a pleasant smell that is a good thing.
So I loaded up a carto, let it sit for a while, and then gave it a try.
WOW, I was blown away. What a great tasting flavor. It tastes just like it smells, but even better. I couldn't believe I was enjoying a tobacco flavor this much, but tobacco or not I knew this was going to be a new favorite of mine. I don't even know how to describe it, but if I had to try I would say, clean mild nutty tobacco, mixed with some caramel and a slight hint of coffee maybe. I could be way off, but thats what comes to mind when trying to describe it. All I can say is that whatever flavors are mixed in it work very well together. It produces great vapor, as I've come to expect with any of Halos liquids. There is a good throat hit, which i find to be perfect. Its not harsh, and its not airy, so its pretty much what I think is ideal for throat hit.

So, great vapor, great throat it, great flavor. It instantly became, and still is my favorite non-menthol flavored E-liquid. I actually find myself vaping it more than my usual menthol flavors on some days. I just always seem to be in the mood for it. I love it that much. I'm glad that I wasn't alone, and that Halo has made it available for sale already. It is actually the first tobacco flavor that I have bought a 30ml of. Its actually the only tobacco flavor I've reordered after sampling. I still have some liquid left in other 5ml samplers I have of tobacco flavors, while my 10ml Tribecca is empty.

I just can't say enough good things about Tribecca. It really is very hard to properly describe, and the best way to get a real idea of how good it is would be to try it yourself. Order one of the 5ml samples of it and I highly doubt you will be unhappy. I can only imagine how much tobacco flavor fans will love this. But even if tobacco flavors aren't your thing, you owe it to yourself to give this a try anyway. If you are anything like me, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Tribeca is wonderful, rich, mellow and almost indescribable. To my surprise, it turned me into a dripper! Never thought that would happen, but haven't touched cartos since. It's one of those juices that you want to vape every molecule of flavor out of, it's that good. I only wish it was a little less expensive...but it's worth every penny.
 
Please let me add my two cents in here. Based on all the glowing reviews, I got my first bottle of Tribeca today. Absolutely outstanding!! Best ejuice ever! So rich with subtle flavors. Such great throat hit every time. Lots of vapor. Apart from an occasional blast of Fireball just to keep life interesting, I think I have found a new all-day vape. It just doesn't get old. It doesn't leave any weirdness or aftertaste or off-ness. It's just perfect. I'm not even a Halo fan particularly, tried a number of their juices and was unimpressed. I am chagrined to admit I don't even like BWB's juices -- sue me -- they all have an off base note to them that I don't care for. This however is a game changer!! Way to go, Halo!
