Okay, folks, here's my conundrum. I have fundage to purchase a 30ml bottle and a 7ml bottle. I -love- Tiki Juice. That is for sure my 30ml decision. Now, the 7ml, I'm wondering... should I try Smooth 8. I notice by the description that it has ginger flavor. Is it a very strong amount, or is it a hint? I want to try it, I think, but being currently unemployed, I probably should be safe and stick with what I already know, yeah? Maybe another bottle of Prime 15. Maybe marry Pujols and use his income to buy juices galore.

So... to those who've tried it, is it worth the risk? If I dislike it, I guess I can PIF or TC it :p

Thanks for reading this rambly question.

I thought the ginger was a bit strong at first when I tried the smooth 8 but it tended to mellow out and be quite good after a day or so. To be honest the ginger was a bit of a strong taste for me but I'm not that big a fan of it. It's still quite good even though it isn't my taste. I'd say if your opting for 7ml give it a try and you'll know if you like it well enough to order the 30ml bottle later.

I was at a vapemeet recently and tried a buddy's Smooth8 and liked it. He had several 30ml bottles so I bought one from him. Next day I loaded it into a tank and the flavor I liked at first seemed overpowering the 2nd time around. I wasn't thinking ginger....reminded me more of cedar. I left it in the tank for about a week and kept trying it, but just found the flavor too strong.

I did get some Freedom from him as well, but was kind of thrown off with my first Halo experience, so it's been sitting untouched. Are all of Halo's flavors this potent, or are there others you guys would recommend? I like tobacco flavors from other vendors, I'm just not sure which from Halo would be a good match for me.

Sorry LadyJ, didn't mean to thread-jack...:D

Ever1ast,Torque 56 is a great tob. flavor unique,Prime 15 is a nutty kinda 555 flavor very good,Tribeca is a great flavor sorta ry4ish,Captain jack is tobacco flavor with touch of ginger and a good switch for once in awhile for me.Freedom only tried once didn't get much flavor from it but the 7ml bottle has been steeping about a month going to revisit soon.Belle valenti is a cocoa vanilla tobacco also good for me once in awhile.

All and all Halo has a great lineup of tobacco flavors,and all very clean tasting.I am a big AVE tobacco fan but their 100% VG doesn't always work great with all my setups thats when a halo fits the bill for me.:)

Thanks dale..that gives me a good direction to head in. I'm not really a fan of the nutty flavors so I'll probably avoid Prime. The Belle and Tribeca sound pretty good, and I've heard enough people mention Torque to have to try it out. I'm thinking I need to order a sampler and just try them all.

I've been hitting the smooth8 for almost a couple day's straight... I think my sense of taste is off/bad... I get something but not really sure if I would call it ginger.

My immediate impression of the juice was woodsmoke, which my brain can kind of see as tobacco + ginger... maybe? lol.

I love smooth8, it's kinda harsh, huge throat hit, even if I'd been at it hard for a while.

Nothing makes me cough, 15 years of Reds? nothing, Lucky Strike straights (unfiltered) yum.

Smooth8 gives me a little tickle. *lets out a small cough*

The post surprised me a little because after 2 weeks now with the halo tobacco sampler and a week with Tiki, there couldnt be two more polar opposites.

I'd go on but you already obviously know what Tiki is like for you : )

Best of luck.
