I haven't tried it but I will be able to soon. One thing that concerns me is the statement that this is the closest thing to a real cigarette yet. While I can see that being a very appealing trait for someone new to e-cigarettes, I've been using them long enough now that I really can't stand a real cig. If it's to much like the real thing it's going to turn me off. On the other hand, the transition would have been easier when I first started had anything been close to a real cig.

Curious to try this one out as well. Though it's a bold move for a company to boast such a claim about a flavor. Sets the expectation bar high.

Haven't had a cig in 1 1/2 yrs and though i don't like the smell of them anymore sometimes i still miss the taste. With any luck maybe Halo will pull a rabbit out of the hat on this one.

Just got it and am sucking some down right now. This liquid is the closest to a real cigarette I have ever tasted. With that said, we all know how the flavor magically changes over a few days with Halo liquids so....

Anyway, very earthy taste, a little ashen, with kind of a nutty, wooden aftertaste so far. Not sweet at all.

Still being a smoker, this is heaven to me. I have found just about every e-liquid to be too sweet for my taste. Its nice to have a real tobacco taste as with many good liquids out there, but I want something that tastes like a BURNING cigarette. This is very close.

We'll see what the next few days brings, but that's my first impression.

Over & out!

No problem! I've been looking for that magic bullet, which to me would be a perfect dupe of a burning smoke with that great ash/tobacco taste and hot smoke in my lungs. Ooh BABY! Then I can finally give up my Camels and move on.

Anyway, just another word of caution on Halo liquids: they really do change over the first few days. Its the damnedest thing and I've never experienced it with any other liquid. For instance, I really didn't like the Smooth 8 when I first tried it - tasted like cedar and mothballs to me at first - but over the course of a week it changed to a nice mellow smoke with a great subtle aftertaste of vanilla.

So, even though this one tastes like a cigarette to me now, who knows what it will turn into in a few days.

Have a great evening!

I've always found that while the Halo juices change after the first few days they only get better.

Yee hawww! Ok please, I just went out
to the mailbox, ran in house, ripped open the box and
put 3 drops of prime into my 510 atty. This
lives up to the description.
The experience is the closest I've come to
having a real smoke! 18 mg sample. Now excuse
me, more vaping and must try out the TriBeCa,
torque, freedom and smooth. I thought
I hadn't ordered smooth this time around but I had. I'll be back
later to give a more detailed review.

Initial impressions... Yuck... Prime15 is not for me.

Prime15 tastes powerfully like an ashtry. I've vaped three drops of it thusfar, unsteeped, but the flavor still lingers in my atty the next day. I'm looking forward to when that taste finally leaves my atty. I'll have to try it again in a few days to allow for steeping to work its magic, but my initial impressions are not good and I don't think it will change after steeping (but we'll see).

I'm not sure if I would have like Prime15 when first starting out with vaping, but i suspect not? Early on I tried a bacco liquid from another vendor that was more reminiscent of the burnt cig flavor than others i had tried, but ended up favoring other bacco liquids, less like a burnt cig, even early on... Freedom for example.

I got the Prime15 sample with an order for Tribeca... the Tribeca is pretty good stuff and i expect it will only get better with steeping.

I have too say this Prime 15 is very good juice! I just received my 10ml sample and vaped it as soon as I opened the box. I'll give a more detailed review after it has steeped for at least 48hrs.

My first impression was that of Halo's Torque 56 its similar just not half as sweet. As a matter of fact not very sweet at all. So far so good.

The use by date on the Prime says 4/6/12, so I'm guessing that means it was 'born' on 4/6/11? In which case isn't nearly a month of steeping sufficient?

I've given it my first try and it's OK, no particular flavor jumps out and screams yet.... just a very mild tobacco with the slightest hint of nuttiness (like 1 drop of 555 got put in the carto). I'll let it sit another few days and see if it evolves any more. But so far it's fine... if the flavor grows I may actually like this one.

I think you may have to have it exposed to fresh air for steeping to really occur. I open the bottles and squeeze some old air out and let it breath in fresh air, then close and shake... and do that daily for a few days to get things to steep.

I think the prime15 is the flavor that should have been around when I quit analogs. Analogs make me sick almost now but the Prime 15 has a similated tobacco/smoke flavor with a hint of either coco or nuttiness that reminds me of what it was like to smoke a Marlboro light. I had the Prime 15 with my coffee this morning and it was awesome. I'd recommend this as a first juice to try for anyone who has never tried an e cig before and smokes non-menthol cigarettes.
