I have been researching for a couple months now and have FINALLY ordered the Halo G6 starter packs and mini tanks for me and my husband (can't wait for them to get here!!!). I've been researching the juice for awhile now and have learned some flavors and ingredients to stay away from, but now I'm wondering what is your most trusted place to order from and why? I've read lots of posts for different places to order for better flavors but haven't been able to find one with the most trusted-quality, ingredients, flavor, ect.

I'm trying the pg/vg mixes but I tend to have allergic reaction to certain things and I think I may end up going pure vg....but for right now I'm open to both. Of course I don't know what I prefer yet as in flavor but I'm pretty sure I'll lean towards the fruit - cherry, blueberry, apple ect.

TIA :)

My most trusted e-liquid vendor Ahlusion.us
Here is a small sample of why..
Our Mixing and Bottling Area
Read the faq's section in regard to their Liquid. This is not to say that others don't boast about their mixing stations, because some do, but others don't ever mention it. ECF has a reviews section, here you will gain very helpful info about so many vendors.

Another neat thing about Ahlusion, they ask for item specific feedback. The info you send them is stored in your very own Flavor Profile. The next time you order, they will tweak their recipe to accommodate your feedback. Their customer service is top notch in every aspect. My only advice, if you decide to try them, order from their website first thing in the morning, as they shut down once they meet their daily capacity. I hope this helps!!

This, buy lots of small quantities from multiple sources and build your own personal catalogue of approved eLiquids. Ignore anyone who disagrees with you, ignore anyone who recommends anything, ignore anyone who dissuades you from a liquid.
The OP asked for our most TRUSTED vendor. This can be interpreted many ways. I agree, try small samples of many vendors. Nothing wrong with steering someone in the right direction. It should be noted, when discussing trust, I wouldn't recommend vendors that do not have a business address. So, as for the OP, there are many veterans on this forum that you should probably at least read and consider what they are saying. Ref, taste is subjective, new comers will find their own path as you have implied, but they can use some of our good advice.
Edit: Ref no disrespect intended!

Thank you - I am mostly looking for the trusted vendors to choose my flavors from... also would prefer USA made. There's just so many vendors, I'm just trying to get pointed in the right direction. Thanks again for the advice.

Thank you both for the suggestions.... I'm looking them both over now.

2coils - that's actually really neat they show that and have that much info. Most places I've looked at have a brief statement about themselves and that's it. Thanks.
You will find their attention to detail is exceptional!

Halo. No Chinese ingredients.

I've searched their website many times, and never seen this claim. How do you know there are no Chinese ingredients? Also, I thought most nic base was not extracted here in the US due to higher costs - so do you know (or do they say) where their nic base is sourced?

I'm interested, not flaming.

I have vaped Tribeca since I started and always have a 30ml in reserve steeping. However, recently I tried their gourmet sampler and every juice but one used a flavoring that made me feel nauseous - like full on barf-worthy (except for Kringles)
It's strange as I really love their Tribeca and I know many others that love most of their juices.

I asked Halo about this, and got this response-

Good morning Steve,


Our ingredients contain USP Grade Propylene Glycol and USP Grade Glycerin along with a proprietary blend of USP Grade Natural and Artificial flavorings. All ingredients are FDA and FEMA approved food additives, and we use only the highest quality USP Grade Nicotine with a Certificate of Analysis. Our nicotine is tested and documented to be a minimum of 99% pure before our e-liquid is created in our US facility.



In the best interests of our appreciated customers, Halo is proud to offer 100% American Made Smoke Juice in all of our products. Smoke juice, also known as e-liquid or e-juice, is the liquid used in all electronic smoking devices that provides the taste, vapor and nicotine. Halo is committed to our customers, and could not allow an ingestible product such as smoke juice to be produced outside of our reach.


I also got this response from the owner-

Hello Steve,

All Halo e-liquid is 100% mixed from scratch here in the USA. In addition, 95% of all ingredients/flavorings are manufactured here in the USA, and none of our ingredients are purchased from China. All ingredients are USP grade and tested for purity prior to use. Our nicotine base is developed to cGMP within our lab, and the final product tested for nicotine concentration prior to cGMP release. Any additional information beyond this is considered proprietary, so I hope this answers your question adequately.

Have a great day,
JB

If their nicotine comes from Japan, Sweden, or elsewhere, I'm fine with it.

OK, so it could have Chinese ingredients in it, but they just don't buy them from China. At least that is what I am reading there.

I just find the whole perception that US = good, non US = bad, interesting - particularly when talking about food and the food products industry. Especially as it's getting harder and harder to really figure out where something is made.

Some US food manufacturers now export raw materials abroad for processing and then re-import the finished product. You can legally label that stuff Made in the USA so long as 75% of the labor cost is added in the US. Not saying that is what is going on with Halo, but it's an example of how murky the waters can be made.

My Sister in Law works for the USDA - she has a lot to say about some US companies and their quality standards. In her opinion the 'US made' label is no guarantee of quality.

Still, thanks for posting that up Steve, very interesting. I suppose no juice manufacturer is going to give us a list of suppliers for the ingredients in their juice - and what you posted is a lot more information than most will give.

Nicoticket, without a doubt.

Clark, (the owner and mixologist), will chat with you personally.. answering questions, making suggestions, and even mixing juice to "chase your vape"; i.e. customizing a juice to hone in on the flavor you're specifically looking for. A few days ago, I chatted with him on his website, (which has a chat feature built in), mentioning my hankering for a York Peppermint Patty flavored juice. He made specific suggestions and based off those, custom tuned his usual chocolate and peppermint flavors to best simulate exactly that. I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Nicoticket.

His prices are very good, and he ships pretty quickly, considering he's a one-man operation and hand-mixes every order... unless you want a couple of his most popular varieties in the usual 50/50 with common nic levels, (these are pre-steeped and ship that much faster).

ETA: you can easily chat with Clark here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...o-shipping-status-general-debauchary-130.html or, of course via Facebook or on his site. :)

Hi 2coils,

I got my first shipment from Ahlusion 1 week ago and I have not been asked for feedback... When do they ask? Thanks!
Keep checking your e-mail, your junk box too. It can take up to a couple of weeks. At the bottom of the e-mail, there will also be a code for 15% off your next order:)
