I am currently in heaven. I just got 120 ml of Halo Café Mocha in the mail today. It is the only thing I've found so far that I don't get tired of vaping and I've been out since Friday. I've tried lots of different flavors from lots of vendors and haven't found anything else I can tolerate all day. Yesterday I went to as close to a local vape shop as I have, smokecignals in New Orleans which is an hour away. I wanted to try some flavors before I buy, but they don't yet have a juice bar set up. The guys there were great though. I told them that Halo's Café Mocha was all that I've found that I like and they helped me decide on an espresso with a little bit of whipped cream added because I like the coffee flavor so much. The liquid I left with was actually very good with no steeping but a bit to sweet for me to vape all day, which is what I did until my order came in the mail today. Before Going to Smokecignal since Friday I was taking multiple different juices that I have purchased but just didn't like and mixing them together in my tank to make concoctions that were somewhat tolerable. It was a tough weekend vaping juice that I really didn't like trying to stay away from analogs but I did it. It's been 4.5 weeks since I've had an analog and I'm doing my best to stay away. Actually tonight is the first time I've added alcohol to the mix and with a great juice I haven't wanted anything other than another vape! I have a huge order in with multiple vendors for stuff for DIY, Would anyone out there have a recipe fore something close to Halo Café Mocha? Also how about Halo Belgian Chocolate, or a great Cotton Candy? The last 2 seem to be my wife's favorite and if I can come close to duplicating them it would save me a ton!!

Yep, backups for your backups (eliquid included :) )
I keep enough DIY supplies around to be able to mix up at least 2000 ml

And a warning when mixing alcohol with vaping DON'T LIGHT YOUR ECIG!!! don't laugh, I've heard of it happening multiple times and actually slapped a lighter out of a buddy's of mine hand just before he tried to light his cigalike back up

I also love the look on peoples face when they come up to me and want to bum a cigarette and I show them my vamo and protank and say sorry I don't smoke

Man, everyone has been raging about these damn coffee flavors lately.. I might just have to give one a try! Would you be able to link me to the halo cafe mocha? and possibly give me a quick flavor review?

Thanks!

Here's the link, it's not exactly the cheapest stuff you're gonna find. Flavor coffee with a mild creamy chocolate flavor, with a mild sweetness but not too sweet. All together it's a fairly bold flavor, they don't tell you their PG/VG ratio , but it has a great throat hit with tons of smoke. Tends to clog coils quickly.

Would anyone out there have a recipe fore something close to Halo Café Mocha?

I DIY one I just love
I use a flavoring from VaperZone called "Coffee Mocha"
It's one of their Super Concentrate Gourmets.

I started out by making a 3ml "test" bottle to find the strength I liked, because my taste buds are pretty well shot.
I added one drop (1%) of flavoring to the 3ml of 70/30vg base and it was a tad strong.
Be sure to give it steeping time, as it gets stronger with time.
I'm thinking of using .75% next time
Some only use one drop in 10ml.
If your taste buds work, start with less than 1% because it really is concentrated.
You can always use more if it's not strong enough for you, or ditute it if needed.
In any case ... It's YUMMY, and pretty cheap juice since you use so little flavoring.
I don't add anything else to it ... no need too.

Awesome! I'm going to have to pick up that flavor from VZ. Thank you.

Don't get Belgian cocoa. My brother in law got it, liked it at first but shortly after he wouldn't touch it anymore. I don't know, maybe get a 5ml bottle if you want to try. who know you might like it. It sounds like it is definetly not an all day vape. I'm actually waiting for some cafe mocha right now:) Along with sub zero. I love the feel of the menthol blizzard going into my chest.

I got the Belgian, I also liked it at first but got tired of it quickly. My wife on the other hand loves it. I've gotten to where I can't stand the smell of it and go to a different room when she vapes it. Another one that I got and just don't like is the Tribeca. I picked up 30 ml bottle because it is so highly appraised and can't vape it. I have some menthol flavoring on order and am thinking about adding some to it to try to change it into something I can use. The first time I bought juice I bought a bunch of different stuff in 30 ml bottles thinking I'd love it, and didn't like any of it. Luckily mixing different ones together make most somewhat tolerable. I definitely learned to go with the small bottles when trying new juice. One good thing about it is I have a bunch of 30 ml glass bottles to mix into once I find some recipes I like.

Sounds like something I would do... Also, I don't apologize, I proudly say, "I don't smoke anymore, I vape. You wanna try?" I always keep a few clean drip tips on hand to share and convert.
