Do you think there will be a Prime 15 menthol? I just ordered from Halo and should have my sample next week but I am not big on regular tobacco flavor, but I wonder if I can mix a little truepure to the Prime 15 to get a menthol cig taste, what's everyone think?

If you are looking for Menthol from Halo, you must try their Menthol Ice. I smoked Kools for years and tried the Nhale/Xhale 555 Menthol which was decent, but since december I've been using nothing but their Menthol Ice which is the closest thing to Kool's and the overall flavor of menthols in general out there by leaps and bounds. Now that I am not so tied down to strictly cigarette like flavors, and I want variety, I sampled their Malibu Menthol and wow...amazing.

I'm starting to wonder, is there anything that Halo makes that isnt wonderful???

Only had it for a couple days now but so far i have a love/hate relationship with the Prime 15. That is to say i love the fact that it's the closest thing to an actual cig i have tried yet. That being said i hate the fact that it tastes so much like a cig lol. After a good 1 1/2yrs cig free the flavor isn't as good as i remember it to once be.

Prime 15 does taste very close to a real cigarette. It took a few puffs but as the flavor started to settle in i began to remember what an analog used to taste like. Hell it even leaves that after taste in your mouth for abit. This is the flavor that should have been out when i first started vaping. It would have saved me allot of cash when trying various tobacco juices for sure. To me it's just that close.

The thing that caught me off guard about this flavor however is that the liquid itself is clear. This surprised me because it has such a strong taste to it. Normally you only find this deeper style of flavor in medium to dark colored juices. It's almost like they took a heavy cigar/pipe style juice, cut the strength of that flavor in half, added a drop of 555 and mixed in some Freedom for good measure. Sounds odd i know, but it works.

If your new to vaping i doubt you will find a closer match to a real cig out there today than this. It's not too sweet like some of the various Marlboro juices yet not too heavy like some of the cigar/pipe ones. Good mix with a beer for sure!

Anyway i would be shocked if this one doesn't make it to the site. When it comes to tasting like a real cigarette in my opinion this is it. Torque 56 is one of my favorite flavors, but never really tasted like a real cig to me. T56 has the smoothness, a hint of maple and some tobacco to it. Almost like an "ultra or light" cig.

Prime 15 on the other hand is like opening up a pack of Marlboro Reds. Smooth but with a slight bit of harshness to it, strong robust flavor and well...yes, it's a cigarette. ;)

Just got my Prime 15 and Tribeca and tried them both right out of the mail box. They are amazing, I was kind of scared to try either because I read the Prime tastes like an ash tray and Tribeca tasted like...I wont say it. But I enjoy them both very much. I will definitely be writing up a review on the Liquid Review forums soon!

The tribeca definatley gets better after a few days. I was on the fence about it at first but the more I used it the better it got.
The Prime 15 seems to be consistant to me so far. I liked it right out of the box and it seems to have not changed or changed very little.

Just got in my sample of Prime 15 with my order of Tribeca! I absolutely loved the Tribeca right out of the box... The Prime 15 is good, much more of a mellow flavor with no sweetness, however, not bitter. The Prime 15 has almost a St. Express flavor to it... if you've tried the St. Express from totally wicked you'll know what I'm talking about.

Gotta say i am really starting to enjoy this flavor. Since i have yet to try all of the Halo flavors i ordered the sample pack to check them all out. Out of all the flavors i keep finding myself reaching for the Prime 15 more and more now. This flavor is really starting to come into its own. If Halo only offered two flavors and it came down between Freedom or Prime 15 i would choose the 15 every time.

This stuff really got a lot better after a week or so. Now, it tastes more like an analog than any other juice I've tried, and I've tried a lot of juices. My previous analog-replacement go-to juice was Vapor Station Tampa (thanks to Vapenstein's review), but this has it knocked in a big way. And for some reason I like that it's a very clear liquid.

Halo, please continue making this juice. Between Tribeca (my current all-day vape) and this, you have two huge winners on your hands.

I filled up an 808 carto with ~15 drops the day I received it. The flavor is kind of "woodsy" and has this overpowering roasted flavor on the exhale. I don't get that ashen flavor people are describing which is what I think would get this flavor closer to an analog. I think I'll let it steep a few days.

Keep in mind I have not tried any other the Halo juices yet, as I've decided to let them steep for a week.

Overall, not a bad juice and a good first impression with Halo juices. Looking forward to the others I ordered, Tribeca, Torque, Freedom, and Tiki.

EDIT: Tried the others, couldn't wait to let them steep ha. Good stuff overall!

I know this isn't the section but I gotta say Tribeca and Torque are both great. Freedom was surprisingly too florally. Maybe that needs to steep?

My favorite is Prime 15 though. I hope it makes it to the offered line-up of juices. I only wish it was a tad smokier and it would be great.

Does anyone know if Halo uses extracts for flavorings?

Steeping makes quite a bit of difference. I didn't like it much straight out of the mail, but after two weeks it's much different...and better, more smoky, and analog-like.
