Thanks spacekitty! It sounds like no one really knows. As I go forward with vaping, I want to know what I am vaping into my mouth & lungs, not because I am going to quit(I'm not). but because I spent 30 yers in complete denial! I love vaping, and I want to not look back one day and wonder why I was so naive.

They provide the answer (or non-answer) right on their website: http://www.halocigs.com/eliquid-faq

"What is the PG/VG ratio of your e-liquid?
This is proprietary information which we are unable to share at this time. There are many companies looking to duplicate Halo e-liquid, and we prefer not to offer any specific information regarding ratios or specific ingredients."

My problem though, is that I use cartos that are picky about blend. Too much VG and they don't wick well. Anything over 70PG/30VG is an issue. I'd love to try this juice since it's so highly-recommended, but I can't risk that it's 'too thick' to vape in certain KR808 cartos.

Can anyone at least comment on using it in cartos, or in general how 'thick' this liquid is? I'm using Bloog Maxx Fusion cartos, which I absolutely love, but it's a shame not to refill them because they last quite a long time.

I use Ikenvape gold tip cartos, and am picky because they are pricey, & Halo is the only juice I will put in them. I use my other cartos for trying other flavors. I, too, get frustrated with juice that is too thick, but Halo is not.

One of the things I notice with thick juices is that the carto filler has a sheen on it even when it has been vaped and is not full.

Hi Frick, I use Halo liquids and have no issue with them wicking just fine on the BMF Cartomizers. I only wish Halo would offer a menthol that was more mint like, like the menthol from bloog. I do not like the halo menthols at all, but their Torque56, Freedom, and Smooth 8 (in that order) are my favorite tobacco flavored juices out there.

Thanks; it's good to know it's not that thick. Do they make the gold tip cartos in 808 thread? I'm not sure which cartos you're using when I look on Ikenvape.

Hey RB. :)

Thanks a lot. I was hoping to find someone who has used this juice in BMF cartos, because I have a bunch that need refilling and none of the mixes I currently have are doing a very good job. I didn't want to ask in the bloog forum because it's an outside vendor.

I watched and read a bunch of reviews on the Torque56, and it sounds like my kind of juice -- I like tobacco flavors pretty much exclusively.

Order placed for 30ml (already shipped). Wish me luck. :)

That's why I didn't reorder from Halo. I'm not going to vape a secret PG/VG percentage juice.

Because it's a "secret" or .... what? If you like the juice, that's going to keep you from vaping it? Or you didn't like the juice and you're just looking for a reason besides "I didn't like it."?

For the few people with PG or VG sensitivities it's nice to know that it contains both. As to the ratio/percentage, other than a possible wicking issue, what difference does it make?

@Frick - I'm an 808 person and have tried MANY, many cartos from MANY, many vendors. My favorites, to date, are IKV's mega 808s. They came highly recommended to me and I highly recommend them to others. I have not tried the Bloog's, so I cannot compare. I can tell you I've had no wicking or burning issues with any of my juices (Halo, included) on the IKV mega 808s. I even vape an 85% VG successfuly with these.

I've tried IKVs 510 cartos (DT, gold), and, while they are good, I just do not like the flavor/taste and coolness of a 510 vape. Just my 2cents.

Over the edge...

I love the flavor of Torque 56 and Truepure. But I am sensitive to PG. If I'm going to inhale an ejuice , the least the vendor can do is tell me what's in it! Does that sound unreasonable? Every vendor I've contacted has answered me, no problem, no exception except Halo.

Hi base!

No, it is not unreasonable to want to know if PG is in a juice. However, he does state that it is, right on his site:

"What ingredients are used in your E-Liquid?
Our ingredients contain USP Grade Propylene Glycol and USP Grade Glycerin along with a proprietary blend of USP Grade Natural and Artificial flavorings."
http://www.halocigs.com/eliquid-faq

But if it's a only certain percentage of PG that only seems to bother you, guess that's the secret that won't be divulged...sorry that you like the juice but can't tolerate the PG. That stinks.

When I first started vaping, I thought I may be sensitive to PG. But, the more I learned and read about side effects of quitting smoking and starting vaping, I realized that those were the symptoms I had been experiencing --and they did go away, lucky for me. I do understand, though, that there are people who are sensitive to PG in ALL products and I am sorry if you are not able to enjoy this juice (and so many others) because of that. There are so many all VG juices out there now (much more than when I first started vaping), I wish you well in finding some good ones that work for you. :)

I'm the same way; 510 stuff just doesn't do it for me. I'm an 808 man.

How are you ordering the IKV Mega 808s? They always say out of stock, or in beta?

The Bloog cartos are excellent. I can refill them over and over with Halo T56 without issue. I'm currently rotating two cartos that have each been filled at least 10 times, and they still taste clean and vape very well. I highly recommend them with the right juice (Halo).
