This past weekend I ordered me up a couple of bottles of V4LUSA juice - Aces & 8's and No. 7. Iam always interested in trying a new tobacco vape - or so I thought. I proceed to load a carto with No. 7 andbegin vaping. Even as I was filling thecarto, it smelled familiar to me. Then Ivaped it and, lo and behold, I realized I was vaping Prime 15 from Halo. I thought, "Well, isn't thisinteresting!" Then I tried the Aces& 8's and, sure enough, the flavor of Bella Valente by Halo came throughloud and clear. Now, I have orderedPrime 15 from Halo in the past because I liked it initially, but grew tired ofit after awhile. The Bella Valente I hadfrom a Halo sample pack and was put off by it, especially the people that livewith me who absolutely can't stand the smell. How much you wanna bet that the Gunslinger juice is really Halo Freedomor Torque 56 perhaps. Anyway, I ammildly disappointed because I really wanted something new and I have likedseveral of V4Life juices in the past. Itseemed to me that some of the flavor components are toned down ever soslightly, but there is no mistaking what these juices are - rebranded Halojuices.
So when did Halo start making some of the V4L USA juice?

If you're asking when they came out, I believe it was in Septemeber. I can't say whether or not they are from the same vendor. But you are aware that some companies might use the same flavorings (there are a finite amount of those floating around out there) and just because these juices remind you of another vendors juices doesn't mean they are from said vendor right?
Who gives a damn if it's re-branded? I love me some #7! Enjoying it right now as I type in fact 
I've tried a number of Halo's juices and they are completely unique, especially their tobacco stuff. Which is why there is no mistaking what is going on. Either that or V4L went way out of their way to make exact copies. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with it since I do like a lot of Halo's stuff. If it is beneficial to both companies then I am cool with that. I must say, the Aces & 8's is growing on me.
ElectraGlide (sir or Ms.?) this is why taste is subjective is always mentioned in flavor reviews... I've tried all the aforementioned halo juices, along with the V4L ones (that really goes without saying, but yeah), and they're different to me. Bella valente is a juice that causes my wife to want to puke if vaped around here, aces & 8's she has no issue with at all. If they were the same juice, wouldn't they have the same after smell? They're both usa made juices, both made to the highest of standards, so logic says they might have some ingredients in common and thus can/might/will taste similar, but that by no means is proof positive they're the same juice.

You might "give a damn" if you had bought a 30ml bottle of Prime 15 that you didn't finish last fall. Do a test - buy a sample of Prime 15 and compare.
Not sure what you're getting at here. It just sounded like you're attacking V4L for having a similar tasting juice. I believe you, but I really don't care to compare. I'm completely happy with these and the price is the same on the Halo site, meaning I can get it WAY cheaper through V4L with the constant sales.
Like I said, I don't have a problem with it, but it was a surprise. I am encouraged to hear that you are happy with your No. 7
You can always throw it on the swap thread and try something else.... Id take yhe #7 juice

Yes, #7 seems to be a fairly popular flavor here. If you put it in the swap thread I'm sure you can find someone to trade with. Sorry to hear you didn't care for it.
just so happens prime 15 is my all day vape, and I have a bottle of no7 from v4l right in front of me. Absolutely zero chance this is the same stuff imo. Even the color is diff. Just my 2cents lol... Maybe it's the device being used?
(sniffs both bottles again to be sure)...(yep, I'm sure lol)

Is there a reason this post appears on this forum as opposed to the Juice Review forum? Personally I don't know who makes the V4L USA juice line and I don't believe you are 100% certain either. I purchase RY4 from multiple independent juice makers, some taste identical. However it would be stretch to make the allegation that those similar in taste originate from the same manufacturer.
This also true with flavors like Peppermint and Cinnamon.
If you have issues with rebranding then the Vaping World must be a very frustrating place. I hope a Mod out there somewhere moves this post to the appropriate forum.

ding ding ding Uba!!! I am a Prime 15 fan and no 7 tastes nothing like it to me.
Lol, I guess they can't be completely unique if there are other juices out there that taste exactly like them huh? It's ok, everyone makes mistakes. IMO, V4L goes way above and beyond to make/find the best there is out there. I don't think they make "copies" of anything.
But just an fyi, you are getting responses like these because your title and OP are very accusatory sounding and not at all inquiring, subjective or friendly. Something you should keep in mind in the future if you want people to respond in the same fashion.
Trying really hard
So much hostility... How about you kids take opposite corners for a bit....
No sense in fighting about a pretty much dead thread.... Unless if there is new information anyone can bring to light???
