Maybe I'll get some mystic then. I don't have any of the menthols except Malibu. Sub-Z would be way too much for me I think

Absolutely correct, Mistress. Mystic is what you should get. A 7ml should last a while, putting about 3 to 8 drops per tank. It rocks with Torque. And I'm not an ex menthol smoker, but a bit of sweet mint compliments torque's brash flavor. (The other 3 menthols are the only ones I haven't tried)

I'll guess you would go for ordering 4 30ml of other stuff, then you need a bit more to get to the $80 after discount (don't forget 10% ECFTEN2014 ).

(Angi knows the following. This is for the benefit of the newbies. Your BEST Value is 4 big bottles and 2 small bottles. Watch...)

4 x 19.99 - 10% = $71.96 but you need 80 to get the bonus points, 100 points for every $20 spent on juice.

So throw in 2 7ml samples at 5.99 ea. (minus the 10%)

Your total is now $82.75, you get 400 points, and you get free Priority shipping!!!.

You know you are going to use the 4 bottles, might as well order at the first best price break.

Whenever Halo has a sale, jump on it, whether you need it or not. The Black Friday sale was the best, 15% everything and double points!!!

This is when I purchase the majority of my Halo gear when they had the sale and double points in December. I did purchase two sampler sets and two bootles of liquid but with the double points I've had 8 bottles in rewards and 1 waiting to be purchased. I also bought the mini's when they were 20% off. I have spent alot but I saved alot of money too. :blush:

Looking at your banner, you should be break even by, say April in 2015!!! (we know you invest in non halo juices also)

And I don't care. Last year, I had said if they made a cigarette that won't kill me, I'd pay twice the price.

Now my breakeven is March. (Not counting burn holes in clothes, colonges and breath mints to try to cover the stink.)

Not to mention ever again giving the wrong answer to my granddaughter when she asks, "Pop Pop, you don't smoke, do you?"

Like your banner Dave, I chose one that didn't put the amount saved on it cuz I really don't care. I know I've spent a lot but...hopefully the lungs are repairing and my savings will be less medical bills down the road.

And damn it, vaping is so much fun that it's my new hobby. I just look at like my husbands endless collection of football helmets. I spent money on vaping like it's my collection, collection of goodness that is. ;) I don't "collect" anything else so why not? Oh, wait, ok I collect purses and shoes but that doesn't count.

I should have quit along time ago..regrets.....I have them. You would have thought I could have quit when my youngest son was 3 and asked our local cashier to "Please don't sell my mommy cig-ah-reets, I don't want her to die, I love her too much!" Needless to say I didn't buy them there that day but I went to town to buy a weeks worth everyweek for years. I never put that cashier in that position again. Also everyone knew about my poor son "saying that" so I was the topic of many prayer groups and prayer requests that Sunday in many of churches here. Sometimes it's hard when your shameful moments are public, I wish I could have just one skeleton in my closet that everyone here didn't know about. That is small town life for you. At least it makes you think twice before doing anything "wrong", because everyone will know. I'm a former smoker in a small town.......your a branded sinner, it's like wearing a Scarlet letter here.

Ugh my daughter is a very talkative little bugger. A few days ago I went out for that after dinner smoke :facepalm: I come in and she keeps hugging me. I held her for a few and she says "mom I like your smells" I said what do you mean? She goes "well after you eat you go away for a few minutes and you come back and I like your smells" .....

It's embarrassing to even write that. She has smelled it on me since she was 3 weeks old, to her it probably smells like "mom" and "safe" .... I sat down and cried after she went to bed, feeling like the worst parent ever.

A couple of years ago I had to take my teenage daughter to Las Vegas for a competition. She hated Las Vegas, but said that the smell of the smoke as we walked through the casinos was 'comforting.' That of course made me very sad, but like always9988 she has been familiar with that smell since she was a few weeks old. Nowadays she loves it when I vape custard:p Oh, we came back to the hotel late one night, and I had a room on the smoking floor so I could smoke in the foyer (the room stank of stale smoke - it was disgusting). We arrived on the floor to be greeted by a *very* strong smell....she asked me how a skunk got into the hotel.................

I remember as a kid when we had family get togethers, sitting there in clouds of smoke or my dad smoking in the car and I would start coughing, begging him to roll down the window more, yet I still associate that "smell" to him and my relatives. Weird how it develops a sense of association in kids. But don't beat yourselves up guys. It breaks my heart to read this stuff.

All of you are bettering yourselves and your kids will be so happy! I, like all of you, just wish I found Halo a long time ago or at least stuck w/Blu a couple yrs back when u tried it.

On a side note...I HATE having to reserve a smoking room to vape cuz as we know, cigs and the stale after math now stinks bad (wow, never thought I'd ever say that). But I'm so scared to get caught in a normal room or set off the fire alarm things. I don't travel much, thank God, but the last time I did, I just went into the closet and vaped. Ya, I sat in the small closer in the corner w/the door closed and vaped.

I wonder if wetting a towel and blowing in that would work?

I have a story too. My girls (who are 23 and 20) have grown up with me smoking. The oldest never said much but my youngest has fussed at me for years. She came in the other day, hugged me, and then said......"Mama, you smell so good, not like stinky cigarettes." I felt bad because while I say she fussed with me, she hugged me and loved on me more than she fussed....she had to put up with the stinky smell just to be close to her mama. Well, I can't look back, I'm moving forward....with no stinky smell!! Oh, I am on pins and needles for tomorrow afternoon when my Triton gets here.....Expect pics!

I don't think I'd ever think twice about doing it in a regular hotel room, not that I am in one often. Honestly most hotels around this area don't even have smoking rooms anymore, except the low budget ones.

Funny story, decided to do a stay cation last year with the hubby, got grandparents to babysit for the night, and went to a city about 25 minutes from their house. I looked online and found the hotel we wanted, then found one another ten miles down the road, same hotel same room for $30 less. Got a smoking room because we planned to have quite a few and use the hot tub. Well, lesson learned, always check google maps. This hotel was surrounded by deserted factories, kid you not had "working women" in the parking lot when we pulled in. Asked the front desk to cancel, they tell us they'll charge us anyway so we decide what the heck and lock the car doors etc. Cig burns all over the dang place, black mold all over the bathroom, years of scum everywhere... We are trying to grin and make the best of it because we are broke as heck at the moment and paid for it... Then the people next door check in and there was a lot more than smoking cigs going on ugh!!!! they got too loud partying, we packed up and walked out. Always check google maps first!!! lol

Angi do not worry about vaping in hotel rooms. I had non-smoking rooms in Hawaii and New York and vaped away in my room on my last two business trips. I'll be in San Antonio this week and will be vaping away in the hotel room. If I happen to be in my room when I hear housekeeping banging around I won't vape and put my gear in a drawer. If you are still paranoid vape in the bathroom. They have fans and I have yet to see a smoke detector in the head...

Heck, I vaped in the airplane restroom and didn't set off alarms, but in there I wasn't blowing clouds using stealth techniques.

There are not any, zero, zilch, nada combustion products in exhaled vapor!!!

:vapor:
