Trying out new Halo flavors

Found this great detailed geeky thread on ECF that covers switching to vaping and much much more. See: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...hen-quitting-tobacco-changing-ecigarette.html

I found another good "flavor". I used mostly Fusion and dropped 5 drops of Prime into it..it seriously is good! I wanted to switch in an unflavored in my rotation so I don't get vapors tongue for the third time. This mix is mellow, slight TH and a TON of vapor!!!!

I think this is the most vapor I've ever had. LOLOLOL pillows of smoke...definitely couldn't be sneaky somewhere vaping this combo...
And I believe Prime is my #1 go to for ADV and mixing w/other flavors. It was Torque, but Prime has pulled ahead..

LOL, I'm glad I'm well beyond this, I just sent my smoking cousin my Retail Starter that Cinder gave us and I was going to send him your post. That is, until I looked at that doc. If he read that he might just send back the Starter unused

Hello AngiBe. I just found this thread and I thought I would chime in, even though I'm still a noob, only vaping now for 3 weeks...

Anyhoo, I started off with Tribeca and Prime 15. Both of those flavors were really funky to me at first. The Prime 15 less so. This was in carto form. But by the end of the pack of cartos, I determined that I really love Prime 15, and Tribeca was just starting to grow on me. So I went out and bought a small bottle of Prime 15 and that quickly became my all day vape. I really love the subtle cocoa thing going on there, which is VERY minimal. Tribeca, on the other hand, is not that subtle! I know it was growing on me toward the end of the pack, but I still haven't bought a bottle of it, because it still seems too nutty and caramelly, so I can't imagine it being an ADV for me.

My starter kit also came with a free sample of the Southern Classic. This one was, right from the very beginning, just AWFUL to me, and I let it sit for 3 weeks before just today, giving it another try with my morning coffee, and it is now AWESOME!!! I really don't understand how something can go from sucky to awesome like that, but it did. I even brought a full mini-tank of it with me to work today. Just, awesome.

So, it definitely seems like steeping, or just letting a bottle sit with cap off for a few weeks, is very necessary on some of Halo's juices. I know everyone already says that, but I will now echo those sentiments. I currently have a bottle of Turkish, Torque, and Longhorn steeping as well. I really liked Torque 56 when I first tried it in carto form. So I bought a bottle, and the liquid does not seem to be the same in a mini tank. So I'm steeping it. Turkish, I've only tried in liquid, and it was very perfumey when I first received it, so it too is steeping. Longhorn, my god, made me almost puke because of that sickly sweet cavendish smell coming from the bottle... STEEPING!!

Prime 15 is really the ultimate in flavors for real tobacco flavor lovers. In my opinion anyway. I guess I mean cigarette tobacco flavor lovers. I think I will finally buy my first large bottle, and it will be the Prime!!

Oh yeah, to answer your original question, about using mini tanks for taste-testing... I definitely think this is the best way. The tanks are cheap, they are very easily swapped around, and we really get the full effect of the flavors as opposed to direct dripping onto a modified carto (I've already tried this, yes). So you did the best thing, IMO, by just ordering a bunch of mini tanks. In regards to filling the tanks with a juice you've never tried before, only to find out it still needs to be steeped more... just go for it! I've done this twice with my Turkish, and I still think it needs to be steeped more, so I just pour it right back into the bottle again! I can't imagine this will harm my experience of the liquid or the flavor in any way.

Cheers.

Lol, thx for the info but you're a little late w/that for me..LOLOLOL. I already learned about steeping the hard way over a while ago. It was actually my first flavor in my sample pack I tried (after my initial carts of Torque) and a horrible combo of not steeping, a dry wick and a burnt hit rolled into one. I nearly tossed out my G6 and started analogs again!

Since then, I steep all my liquids at the least 24 hours but most 3 weeks. If its going over three weeks and still smells yucky to me (Southern Classic) I will not vape it just to vape it. I know I won't like it by the smell-I've tried enough juices now to figure that out. And ya, I added a ton of mini tanks to my order with my new VV (can't wait) but I still won't fill up the tank just to taste it.

If I like it from the jump like Prime 15 (right out of the box I could smell it and knew it was a winner for me and it was and still is),I will fill it up. If I don't, I let it sit in the tank, try again and see. If I still don't, I try to mix it up...and so on until I just have to dump it cuz nothing is helping it.

Since this came up in another forum...

It's not advisable to use the carto as a drip trick on an automatic battery, because of the open airway, and the high likelihood of leaks, which could easily ruin a G6.

UGH, I know this too..again, learned the hard way.

I could not believe it. I had not smelled freshly cut grass in 25 years.

I had this experience too. In my case, it was the smell after a good rain. I also didn't like many foods (some were my favorite dishes) after quitting.

 

[wheezal]

what do you all your people actually chew your food? i just wolf things down like a starving dog. guess i should slow down and see if i taste anything different. as long as my sweet sweet confections dont become nasty to me, i wont have complaints.

 

[geckokitty]

I'll just say.. I tried Malibu because it came in one of my sample tins.. I took about 2 toots off it and almost vomited.. Soooooo gross

 

[AmandaD]

I really don't much like sampling in the small clearomizers - and I have a bunch of them. I find they make everything way too hot for me and I don't get the real flavors. I tried Twas Brillig in a small tank and almost stuffed it away for a month, but then I put it in a big tank and vaped the whole tank

I have a question reguarding voodoo. How long does it take for all of these flavors to come out? Cinnamon? Where? The only thing I am getting is a overly liquory canned cranberry. With a hint of black licorice. I sure hope this changes in a MAJOR way.

I hated it in the small tank and found I got more flavor in the big one. I never got cinammon...ever! The rest of my sample is steeping - I'd love to find cinnamon in it

I wonder if ur taste buds are not "back yet" from quitting cigs? I swear with Voodoo fresh or steeped, I never got these flavors. I absolutely HATE black licorice and if I ever got this taste from any juice, it's in the garbage.

I'd say shake the bottle up likes its ur job and maybe let it steep w/cap off for 36-48 hours, shaking bottle a couple times a day and try it again. The cinnamon did take a bit to come through and before it did, I tasted a cocoa/plum flavor.

Yea I read somewhere that halo juices may need more time to come together whenever you order during a busy time. (I did). I am keeping the faith and have not given up on it yet.

I've been completely absorbed with Twisted Java.. which might well become my 'omg everyone must try and love this' juice.. and Tribeca, but I have a bottle of Voodoo waiting for me to pay attention to it again. When I first tried it, ALL I could taste was cinnamon . Even after the plum/fruit starting being noticeable, the cinnamon stayed and stayed.

Will be fun to revisit Voodoo, and Malibu, and .. quite a few others I have already compiled (and most of them as 30s ). Soon as my tanks finish their bubble bath though, I think I'm going to give Southern Classic another go.

Now that's one I gave a good month and half before I gave up on it.....Southern Classic. Just could NOT get into that one. Tribeca has been crazy for me. Four months ago, loved it. Three weeks after that, hated it. Fast forward to two weeks ago, tried again and it was ok. Mixed it w/Prime and now can't put it down.

If that's not a sign of crazy taste buds, not sure what is.

Who knows the mysterious ways of the senses.

Prime and Tribeca are AMAZING, Angie. I am often mixing flavors, because it's fun, and why not. I love Prime.. and I love Tribeca.. and oh man the two together are delicious. Near as I can figure, you and I put those together about the same time. I saw posts of yours raving about it as I was vaping it too, and giggled. Next I want to try the two with a few drops of Belgian and see if it's also bliss.

Anyway, I tried Southern Classic way back when. It was in my first Halo order. I couldn't stand it.
Now, that little bottle has steeped with the lid off for like, 2 weeks or so, and in the bottle for far longer ..basically it's been steeping 89 days, according to my banner.

But though I hated it then, I'm willing to try again. I like acquiring tastes.

 

[AngiBe]

Hmmmm, Tribeca, Prime and Belgian?!?! That sounds like it can be awesome. I guess I first need to try Belgian! LOLOLOL trying later today. I mean, I know its chocolate but not sure how it tastes yet.

Good thread! you read my mind. I filled up one of my two tanks with midnight apple and good lord that thing is hard to get rid off!
it's like apple bonanza up in here.

Thank the lord I had an extra tank! it's now full of Tribeca. That ordeal of course prompted me to go on the Halo website and ordered 5 Triton tanks and 5 mini tanks.

What about the Halo drip tips? are those any good?

Thanks to AngiBe I have to go there again to order some voodoo and a VV, should I throw in some drip tips?
