Looking to emulate Halo e-cig taste

[Mr Pickle]

I'm new to DIY and my favorite flavor is Halo's Torque 56. All of their liquid, including Torque, has a kind of dry, white-winey taste to it. It's hard to describe, but anyone who has vaped it will know what I'm talking about.

I'm sure their flavors are proprietary, so maybe I'm shooting in the dark. Anyone have any experience with trying to produce this liquid?

Thanks a ton. For anyone who is looking,here is what I found.

I calculated the cost of creating one of these liquids. The maximum cost per 30ml bottle is $10.06 (shipping costs included). See the next post for more prices. A 30ml bottle of Halo liquid costs $23.26 shipped. This is a savings of $13.20 per bottle, or 57%. Knowing this, even if Halo had a 2 for 1 sale, you would still be saving more money by DIYing your juice.

Keep in mind that:

* This is creating a 75%/25% PG to VG mixture at 18mg/ml strength

* In the price above, flavoring is calculated at 15% (just to show maximum cost)

* All shipping inclusions are calculated by only buying the essential items. (no gloves)

* DIY ingredients calculated from myfreedomsmokes.com

* This pricing assumes you are buying 1x5ml bottle of patriot juice. See next post.

Here is a spreadsheet with all the information.

Hope this helps!

Here is a list of items I used for pricing (shipping included)

1. Unflavored Nicotine Juice (60ml at 48mg/ml strength) - $9.93

2. PG (125ml) - $8.93

3. VG (125ml) - $8.93

4. Totally Wicked Patriot Range (1x5ml) - $7.98

or

4* Totally Wicked Patriot Range (5x5ml) - $25.48

Total cost for one TW bottle - $35.78

Total cost for TW 5 pack - $53.28
