New guy in need a few suggestions for HALO!!

[mj79]

Well Im about to place my order with Vaporkings and noticed they sell Halo as well , which seems to be an extremely popular eliquid on this site, Im gonna try 3-4 but since there are so many I would like all of your help in finding a few good ones right off the bat

For me- I smoke Marb Lights or marb mediums, My Girlfriend smokes Marb Menthol Full flavor so what would be closest to those two? And then just throw out any random 2-3 you think are worth a shot.. Thanks!!

My fave Halo liquids are Tribeca and Belgian Cocoa! The Tribeca is a sweet tobacco while the Belgian Cocoa is more of a dry chocolate, like a cup of hot cocoa without a lot of sugar.... I personally don't vape a lot f tobacco flavors as I find the sweet vapes a lot more fun! I really don't care too much for a lot of menthol, either....

Halo does have a swap thread, so if you order a flavor you don't care for personally, you can swap with someone! Good Luck and enjoy!

Also , Where is the boundry when It comes to nicotine levels ( mg) smoking 1 pack of lights or mediums a day should I start out with 18? or 12?

 

[guppy]

I started with 18mg but found it to be a bit much and went down to 12mg for a smoother throat hit. I would recommend Tribeca as well. If there's a local B&M try testing out some juices there to figure out what nic level would best suit you.

Tribeca was a little to sweet for me, but I like Torque. I agree with Snus' assessment on Belgian Cocoa. I often find myself mixing the two. I'm using 18mg with an eye toward reducing.

I really like Tribeca for a sweet dry tobacco flavor. Not a cig flavor, but definitely replaces my craving for a real one. As for menthol, I'm partial to the Kringle's Curse, as it's a peppermint menthol...strong and sweet. If she likes the idea of a fruity menthol, the Malibu Menthol is light and nice.

PG 100%
PG 80% VG 20%
PG 65% VG 35%
PG 50% VG 50%
PG 20% VG 80%
VG 70% Distilled H20 30%
Max VG%


This one is a little new to me.. What do these mean? Ordering from MTbakervapor

 

[amyc75]

Usually, higher PG=more flavor, higher VG=more vapor. At Mt. Baker Vapor, their default is the 80/20 on their juice page. I just received a huge order from them all in 65/35. Very flavorful and lots of vapor on an eGo twist, as well as my new vamo. YMMV, but it's all about preference. Their VG distilled water I would presume is thinner than their max VG, so it may work better than the max vg in different clearos and cartos, etc. What are you ordering?

 

[amyc75]

And in response to your question about nicotine level. I was smoking a little less than a pack a day and I started at 18 mg. It was a little high for me (I was twitching like Beavis) so I dropped to 12 mg before my MBV order. 12 is my sweet spot right now.

Lol nice WEll Im gonna order a few, suggestions are welcome for that site too.. I ended up getting all my hardware, from vaporkings as well as Halo, mystic, belgian cocoa, Malibu, Freedom juice and tribeca all in 12MG... So what is the mixture for Halo 70PG/30VG ?

I used to love Tribeca when I first started vaping so I hope you enjoy it as well.....as far as Mt Baker Vapor flavor suggestions, I love their Banana nut bread, Butterscotch (with at least 1 or 2 extra flavor shots) and candy bar...They have some other really good stuff but trying not to throw too many out there at once

Im guessing the flavor shots are just that.. Adding flavor? But couldnt you do that by getting an 80/20 vs. a 65/35 or 50/50 ?

I like the Halo torque 56 in 12mg a lot. Gives the right throat hit and has the right amount of harsh when i miss an analog. I was a marb light smoker as well about 3/4 pack per day. The torque 56 is my go to if I have cig cravings.

It's not quite the same...adding the flavor shots is actually adding more flavor, higher PG might make it taste just a bit stronger because it is a better flavor carrier....butterscotch is wonderful but it is subtle, so I think most people around here that like it will recommend the added shots. Good luck

I suppose its all trial and error at first between actually finding what you like, the right blend, voltage, flavor shots etc... Im guessing after a month or so I'll hopefully have it down and actually know what Im doing, lol

Mt Baker Vapor - blackberry, raspberry, Morning Vape.

Yes, you will figure it all out I was so overwhelmed at first but now I know my likes and dislikes. It just takes time

I went to a brick and mortar store when I first started. I did pay more, but I was able to ask a lot of questions.... Of course, I didn't know anything about ratios, flavor shots, voltages, etc at the time. But, I did get to try the stuff! I ended up with an ego 3.7 volt kit. I find that if you stick to low res stuff, 3.7 volts works well.....

I have since also found that I like vg better than pg as pg can give me a sore throat.... I guess it will give you more of a throat hit, but to me it feels like post nasal drip, so I really don't like it. You might also want to get some different strength juices, too. I used to smoke more than a pack a day of full flavor, but I started and usually use 18 mg. 24 will give me more satisfaction, though.... On the other hand, if I find myself chain vaping at night, I find that it can keep you awake as the nicotine is a stimulant.....

I have never added flavor shots. A lot of vendors will have their own blends and know how much flavor to add. You could end up with too much flavor if you get added shots.... At first, your taste buds might need it.... Different flavors and vendors have different strengths of flavors. Some flavors are stronger than others....

I hope I haven't confused you further......
