From their website:
Our ingredients contain USP Grade Propylene Glycol and USP Grade Glycerin along with a proprietary blend of USP Grade Natural and Artificial flavorings. All ingredients are FDA and FEMA approved food additives, and we use only the highest quality USP Grade Nicotine with a Certificate of Analysis. Our nicotine is tested and documented to be a minimum of 99% pure before our e-liquid is created in our US facility.

So they do use VG but their ratios are proprietary.

Thanks for that clarification..... I did see it said Glycerin but I did not put 2 and 2 together that it was VG ..... my bad still if I had to guess it is a smaller ratio of VG to PG hence the light viscosity of Halo juices..... Personally I can not only taste in a good way the difference but actually feel the difference.. Personally I think Halo is the standard for all others but, that is my humble opinion. Another good juice I have been tooting lately and I have never heard of them before is a brand called Qualit E Juice... I have been vaping their honeywood tobacco and at first I didn't like it but after a week and a half of steeping it is much much better. Not Halo good but good none the less and I can get it at my B&M and support them a bit a well.

I have yet to try all of Halo's juices. I myself am partial to Twisted Java and Kringle's Curse. I like their Cafe Mocha and Belgium Cocoa too.

You can PIF with those bottles that are never going to be used up. I'm sure there are others that would like them. I bought a bunch of different flavors when I started and then realized there was no way I could use them all. I gave my friends some and the rest, I used for a PIF here. Got to do another one soon as I've dropped nicotine levels and still have a bunch with higher nicotine that I'm going to use.

Tribecca in my opinion is halo's best juice. I tried southern classic and tiki juice but just don't like then. Got 2 30ml bottles that are 3/4 full that'll never get used :(
 
Hey I noticed that none of you guys/gals mentioned longhorn. It's my personal favorite tobacco juice and my adv. if anyone of you vape turkish tobacco, give it a try. It has a milder flavor than captain jack, more sweetness than turkish tobacco and smells like a cuban cigar before you light it up.
Excuse my bad english. They are not my native language

I like Longhorn. I didn't think I would because it smelled so strong when I got the sample. I'll probably order that when I finish my bottle of Turkish.

Can anyone give a good comparison of Torque 56 and Turkish? I vape Tribeca every day and have developed a taste for Torque and it has been in my daily rotation for a few weeks now. Unlike Tribeca it seems to fully develop after a full week of steeping. Curious if Turkish is as strong and if it has similar notes to torque. Thanks.

I can only give my opinion for what it's worth. Torque56 and Tribeca are two of my top five favorite juices. I tried to like Turkish but it just isn't for me. It has too much of something in it. Maybe cedar, maybe musk. I'm not sure what that flavor is but to me, Turkish has too much of it. It's overpowering in my opinion. It is somewhat similar to the main flavor in Torque56. Not really the same taste but there are some similarities.

Turkish and Tribeca are another story. They are miles apart. No similarities other than they both have a tobacco base.

Menthol Ice is awesome, but I couldn't have it as my ADV since it gave me a sore throat the next day.

Step it down to Mystic if you prefer their menthol flavors.

I went the other way, with the SubZero, it kicks like a mule ...

At 24mg, its got more real menthol taste and throat hit than a 48mg juice from another vendor ...

I also like that Halo juices come in a glass bottle with an "eye-dropper" cap, a very nice touch, since Im transferring it to needle-top bottles to fill ce4 clearos and Ovale Elips tanks ...

After reading this thread, definitely gonna try a few other Halo juices ... :D

Torque56 Torque56 E-liquid | Halo E Liquid is a grassy tobacco with a touch of sweetness to it. When I first vaped it, lo those 5 months ago, I thought I tasted a bit of apple. Now it's a bit of celery ;) But it's still good, and close to an analog. I recently PIF'd my last 15ml to a smoker who I hooked up with a starter kit and he liked it straight away, coming from Marlboro Reds.

Turkish Turkish Tobacco E-liquid | Halo E Liquid is a sweet tobacco with a cardamon kick. Phil Busardo would call it a "barbershop" smell/flavor and that is probably why I like it :) I don't vape it as much as my newer favorites (Voodoo Voodoo E-liquid | Halo E Liquid and Southern Classic Southern Classic E-liquid | Halo E Liquid ) but I like the more complex flavor these days.

Turkish Tobacco is too floral and weird for me. Cant put my finger on it. Whatever it is, its too overpowering for me, and i really tried to like this juice.

WRT Torque56, i didnt like it much at first as it was too similar to analog tobaccos IMO. But its growing on me, although i can only vape it for a short period of time. Very clean and authentic tobacco flavor-a bit strong tasting for me. But thats not to say it tastes bad; just not in my regular rotation.

As an aside i liked Tribeca from the first time i tried it. Good balance of tobacco and sweetness yet no single element overpowers another.

Great responses folks. Thanks for the input. A lot of what you all said about Turkish sounds a lot like my experience with Freedom Juice. Floral and grassy.. No thanks.

For what it's worth, Halo's Turkish is far and away my favorite e-juice. I tried it because I spent 20+ years smoking 2 packs of Camel Lights every day, but Turkish doesn't taste like a cigarette to me; it tastes vaguely of Toffee/Amaretto. Then again I never exhale through my nose and my taste buds have never been what I'd call refined, so YMMV.

What I can tell you with some confidence is that Turkish has a milder flavor than Tribeca and Torque. Torque's almost overwhelming, the most cigarette-like experience I've yet found. Tribeca's grown on me over the last few weeks, but it still tastes mostly of nuts to me ... not as I'd expect it to taste based on most reviews here. In any case, if I had to rate the three juices based on the strength of their flavor, I'd end up with the following:

Torque >> Tribeca > Turkish.

I just dropped an order to replenish my Tribeca and Torque supply which disappears incredibly fast. I've been at 12mg since discovering Halo Tobaccos a few months ago and reordered at 6mg this time as I'm ready to drop nic level again. I enjoy these juices so much, I hope the taste experience remains the same. Kind of worried..

Kringle's Curse and Twisted Java are good right away. I bought the gourmet sampler and these are the two I tried on the first day I got the sampler. And they are still my favorites.

I've got my gourmet sampler + a 7ml Voodoo due for delivery today. Any suggestions about which flavor(s) will do best out of the box? I'm not going to be able to wait a week to try something. ;)
