I agree with you Beet. The batch of menthol ice I ordered had no flavor either. Very pretty blue bottle and very thick juice. I add some menthol drops so I can at least taste some menthol. I was very disappointed after reading all the reviews on how great the juice is. I am a menthol die hard and I just don't see that in this juice. Maybe it is a bad batch who knows.

You may have gotten a bad batch... but as most of have said it is a clean fresh taste. It is not that hard in your face menthol minty taste that a lot of cheap juices offer. The menthol is mild with a complexity of other flavors that give it it's own unique taste, otherwise it would just be another cheap juice that can be found any where.

It had to be a bad batch then. I say this because there was no fresh taste, there was no taste at all. There was no menthol feeling an as for a complexity of other flavors it was simply the pepper taste of the menthol. I'm thinking that what I got was unflavored liquid in a pretty blue bottle.

Has anyone else noticed that the vapor of Harley & Freedom stinks something fierce? My fam has remarked on this several times and the other day I noticed it in the car...Very bitter sourdough type smell which is weird because there isn't any of that taste in either of them.

I really want to like Halo juices as it is US made and uses very pure ingredients, but Im not a menthol fan and their other flavors I have tried (Harley, Smooth, Freedom) all have an underlying 'weirdness' that will make me not order them again. I still like the Harley for an occaisional vape, but the 30ml bottle will last for a long time. I hope they have some new juices in the works and will begin offering sampler sizes, but for now nHaler has my business for e-juice.

Identify the taste both from the bottle and vapping it. If it's not as what I, or others, have described, then it's definately a bad batch. Like for example, I used to order from Strickly E juice and I got a bad taste. I called them up and returned it and got a replacement being the same bad tasting item again, thus their items being bad liquid.

However, for halo I'm very certain you got a bad batch if you hadn't done the "Test" on it. I smelled my bottle, vapping it, and even tasted a small liquid making sure it's pure to its content.

I'm not sure what the other flavors taste like but the Harley tastes like maple tabacco with sweet signature to it. There's nothing stinky about it.

I must be missing something here. I hate to say it but I'd been reading about how great the Halo juices were for Menthol vapes so I bought a 30 ml bottle of Cool and a 30 ml bottle of Nupure. It may just be the bottles I got but there was NO flavor at all. No menthol, no mint, the only thing I can taste with either of them is the Pepper taste of the nicotine. I'm not one to be wasteful so I just cut them a bit and added some Wintergreen (Artificial) Lorann drops to them and now I have a nice Wintergreen vape, but I doubt I will be ordering from Halo again. Was a bit expensive for unflavored e-liquid when I wanted a cooling menthol vape. Ohh well. Sounds like most everyone else is enjoying theirs, my batch must have been messed up because I did not have the experience that you guys did.

Your batch was not messed up because I got the exact same thing you got! No menthol taste at all, no throat hit at all and definately no cooling flavor although the smell did remind me ever so slightly of vicks vapor rub.

I do see a trend here though, I unlike most admittingly on this thread was a long long time menthol smoker, were not crazy about menthol but they like Halo menthol.....hmmmm.....yet as a long time menthol smoker I can tell you Halo Newpure and Halo Cool that i bought does not taste like menthol. Oh well, $50 down the drain.

I started vaping with 18mg menthol juice (Dekang) with my first order. It's good...but the menthol was extra-strong. I then tried a bunch of stuff from V4L...espresso, cappucino, Red Cow (Red Bull), and a few others. I found a couple of "faves" out of V4L. Lastly, I heard lots of good stuff about Halo, so I got a 30ml of Halo Newpure 24mg (see a pattern yet?). At first I wanted to like it (the mild vanilla undertone was a welcome surprise), but then I noticed I was probably getting too much nic, and as the taste waned to just about nothing, I wasn't crazy about it. I bought a dram of VG from Hobby Lobby to try to cut down the nic level. Still wasn't crazy about it.

In the end, I started experimenting with mixing all of my little collection of juices, and I've come up with a couple of "recipes" that I can vape all day, taste great (IMHO), give really good vapor/TH, and not one clogged atty yet (but I think that's more a function of the 902 being awesome, not the juices themselves).

I use the Halo for my base, and add little bits here and there to bring extra "oomph" to the flavor, while still being a menthol base. Nowhere near the taste of an analog Newport, but that's okay. Vaping tastes much better than smoking!

Maybe I'll try out the Menthol Ice next. Or could it be I also got a bad batch of Newpure? Seems I ordered right before they removed that juice from the site...

The juice you mention here is the juice I vape because of the strong menthol and this is exactly why I ordered from Halo especially since they implied that the taste would be like a Newport or why else would they use the the name Newpure and Newport picture on their site? No menthol, No throat hit, just waaaaaay to watered down or whatever.

Maybe I'll try out the Menthol Ice next. Or could it be I also got a bad batch of Newpure? Seems I ordered right before they removed that juice from the site...

Interesting......I didn't know they removed that juice from their site....could it be that after people started complaining they realized their Newpure had "absolutely NO RESEMBLANCE to Newport"?

I would have never known they took Newpure off their site as I have no intention of ever going back to their site to make any purchases.

Makes one wonder though.......................................thanks.

I was really stoked to get the Harley Juice when I watched Grimm Green's review of it. I ordered it and liked it at first, but I find now that it leaves a mild metallic taste in my mouth long after I have vaped it. If I switch to another juice with the same atomizer, I don't get it. Does anyone else have this experience? Maybe I have a bad bottle?

I agree with you BB. This stuff just isn't any good and I soooo wanted it to be after reading all the great reviews. I will never buy there again unless they come on here and make good to the people that got the crappy batch.


I agree 100%, unless they give me something for the $50 I spent there that I can actually use (vape) I def won't be going back either. And although Halo doesn't give a person much choice with their 30ML bottles only, I won't ever buy that much again unless they def have a sample size to try first.

Another thing I just found interesting is, on their website under the link for learn, is the Learning Center : The Secret To Good E-Liquid and it goes into the "steps" to find the secrets of a good e-liquid.

The first secret ingredient that makes up a quality e-liquid is flavoring.
The second key component to premium e-liquid is the Throat Hit.
The third important factor of quality e-liquid is the vapor production.
The fifth and probably most important component of e-liquid is Quality Control.

The interesting thing is, they skipped the fourth step of this wonderful process in the Chronological Order, much like they skipped the flavor and throat hit in the e liquid purchase I made from them.....mmmmhhhh......I'm sure they'll change this now much like they took the Newpure off their site right after I purchased it.

I love the Halo Bella and have been using it for awhile now. I gave away all my flavored liquids because I cannot stand to vape them anymore.

I have half a bottle of Freedom and half a bottle of Harley both are okay but the Bella is the one I really like. I also have a small sample bottle of Smooth 8, I do use it from time to time but do not like it enough to buy a bottle.

I think I am going to try a bottle of the Ice just to see if I like it, I have heard a few non menthol people who say it is really good.

I like Halo juice. I've tried Freedom, Smooth 8, Cool and Newpure. I vaped through the Cool very fast (only 6mg 10ml sample) it was enjoyable and a light cooling flavor. Newpure is nearly gone now it is still an enjoyable mild flavor with hints of pepper for me. For some reason any juice from any supplier always seems to lose a bit of flavor to me at the last few ml's of the bottle. The menthol is not very strong, but I wasn't a menthol smoker anyway. Freedom I like it a lot, but I think I have a mild allergy to the main flavor so I've been vaping it slowly (only about half gone). Smooth 8 is good, but I haven't really had the time to give it any real all day attention yet. The glass bottles are great and I will be reusing them.

I think taking newpure off the inventory is a good thing. Possibly they will rename it and put any confusion to the Newport brand cigarettes to a stop. Or maybe they're going to rework the formula. Regardless, I would prefer this rather than to keep confusing people and letting them down.

I would be lying if I said Halo was for the juice everyone, but for me it's very enjoyable.

Well, if you get the Menthol Ice please come back and let me know what you think. Like I said before I really did want to like Halo and I would really like to try the Menthol Ice but I was just to disappointed in the NewPure & Cool Menthol that I got to take another chance.

If they had sampler size bottles maybe but they don't so the search continues. Oh, also I take it you were not a menthol analog smoker, huh? Maybe thats why the non menthol people thought so highly of it because it is so very mild? It def was to me anyways.

I really need the strong menthol flavor and this didn't have it for me but Ice, IDK. Like I said, I vape a Hall's Cough Drop (love that taste) if I could get it in my Tornado! Take care.

P.S.

LOL KingVapor! I was writing my last post when you posted so I didn't see your post until after I hit the submit button, lol. Sooo, it seems to be a trend here to me that the people who were not menthol smokers before seem to enjoy this the most, no?

Like I said I was/am a diehard menthol smoker/vaper and this was just waaaaaay to mild for me, I don't actually taste any menthol at all. Tell me though since you have the Cool & Newpure also, is your juice very clear (like water) and very very thin?

Mine is so thin that it's almost impossible to get the dropper to the cart to top off without losing a drop along the way.

I can't really say for sure about the Cool. The plastic dropper bottles from the sample promotion hold the liquid very well without a squeezing bottle, but I would say it was probably on the thicker side.

The newpure was very watery when I first popped the seal on the glass bottle. It had been born and brewed just a few days before I received it. The juice seemed to thicken up quite a bit for me during the first 2 weeks of daily use. Yeah, I completely agree that this is no where near the menthol found in a newport. Mild is an understatement I guess when comparing a newport.

I have noticed the flavors diminishes slowly. This could be from the amount of air entering the glass bottle each time I open the bottle, and honestly sometimes I forget it's open 8-o. I would probably transfer my juices to plastic bottles in the future, but I don't have any unused ones laying around. I find it near impossible to wash out any previous flavors in plastic bottles. Although Freedom with a lingering Ry4 is a good mixture :D
