Since I started vaping with 2 nice vaping devices, I have bought and tried out about 27 flavors, with some being pre-mixed e-liquid and the rest being DIY flavors I mixed. Unfortunately I have discovered I must be the most picky person on the planet when it comes to e-liquid! So the other day I needed a bunch of tank caps for my Ego-T and found the best prices at Indy Vapor Shop. While ordering I noticed they also sell Halo juices, so I ordered 4 tobacco flavors. They got here quick!
I ordered 1. Freedom juice, 2. Torque 56, 3. Menthol Ice, and 4. Tiki Juice(this was a mistake as I wanted to order Tribeca, but their ordering list is long and jumbled). Considering my new found flavor-snobbishness, I figured I would only kinda like 1 Halo flavor, and not like the others! Thats pretty much what happened with the 6 RAWR flavors I ordered(actually I dont really like any of them!) The other disappointment with this order is that you cannot get 7ml bottles in any strength other than 24mg/ml nicotine, and I use 12mg.
Even though I have a Lava Tube/Torpedo VVV with extra cartos, tanks, attys, I've found the Ego-T to be the best sampling system I have. I can rinse and remove ALL previous juice and flavor from the Ego-T atomizer and tank, and dry it within 3 minutes, then sample the next flavor with zero residue from the last!
1. So I tried the Freedom juice first. Right out of the mailbox it is very good to great. It has a true tobacco-ish flavor to it! Thats a first for me. None of the other ones I have bought really taste like tobacco. It is like a top quality tobacco, smooth, with a sweet top note of honey(just like the description!). If it gets better after steeping, it will be great for sure....
2. Next was Torque 56. I worried that this was going to be a rough tasting, harsh tobacco flavor, but it wasnt all that different from the Freedom juice. Its got a smooth, top quality tobacco flavor, with a slight hint of sweetness at the end. Its a more basic tobacco flavor, less complex, but not by much. Its also very good to great. It wasnt too harsh at all.
3. Next was the Tiki juice, which I didnt really want. It was the only slight disappointment. It is vapeable, but not great. It does have a slight "tropical" flavor, but its not too coconut or pineapple-ish like I figured it would be. Its OK. It has the good quality tobacco flavor with slight tropical notes.
4. Last was the Menthol Ice. I really dont prefer a lot of menthol even when I smoked menthol cigs. I was not a Salem or Kool smoker, I smoked Newport and L&M. But again, its got a top quality tobacco flavor with a strong menthol flavor. But its a slightly sweet, good tasting menthol. Its easily an all day vape too. I would like to try their Newpure/Truepure flavor, which is probably lower on the menthol scale, and the reason I didnt buy it this time is because there were just so many good reviews of Menthol Ice. This is a very good juice. Out of 6 menthol tobacco flavors I now have, this is the best....
Like I said above, if these get better after steeping, they will be great, and 2 out of 4 of these juices are almost already there now! Overall, Halo has fared the best among the brands I've tried as far as their good/bad ratio is concerned, because 2 out of 4 proving to be great, 1 flavor very good, and the 4th being OK is a win in my overly picky book!

I find those reviews to be, frankly, unhelpful, as I KNOW those juices will change (often significantly) after steeping.
