Simple: QUALITY.

1. Quality eliquid.
2. Quality Equipment.
3. Quality Control.

I doubt if I would have stuck with vaping if I hadn't started with the Halo Triton Kit and Halo eliquid. After nearly a year, I still include Halo eliquid in my rotation, but I piffed my Triton kit to someone who was still using BLUs and it still charged fast and performed the same as when I first bought it after 7-8 months of daily usage.

If Halo had normal ego/510 threading and married that with a normal Kanger T2, I'd buy from them. I'm just too interested in trying new things, and you just can't really do that with their ego/808 threading.

That being said, for those who are happy with the same thing all day everyday (like my wife), then Halo might be perfect. She has been using Halo (and similar Smokeless Image) products for almost 2 years.

I think a lot of folks start with Halo for their e-cigs, but most move on fairly soon. Their juice is probably the biggest draw. It is pretty good, although a little on the expensive side. I have also found better juice as time has gone on.

Yep, Halo ruled the first couple of months of my vaping. I thought it was the best thing ever. I have definitely moved on to bigger and better things since

I'll echo alot of what has been said here. I've been using Halo Triton and the liquids for 6 months. I'm well aware I could upgrade, but I have no reason now. The Triton is reliable and easy to use, Halo's customer service is terrific, and everything is easy to order and shows up quickly. I may some day upgrade, but am reticent to do that, it doesn't make sense for me to turn a habit into a hobby.

I've been vaping for 3 weeks and currently running a G6 setup. I don't recall the exact reason I went with them. Just did some research, liked what I heard, and like the pricing.

I'm happy with them thus far. I may try something else later, but not ready to start spending more money. I hope to eventually stop so I'm not trying to turn vaping into a hobby.

I thought their batteries were reliable, but I found the vape inconsistent and could not go lower on the nicotine using the Triton..It just didn't hit well enough at low levels. I moved on to a MVP2, which costs less than the Halo starter kit. The battery life is unmatched as far as I know, and I can use a RBA if I want. At one point I got a pack of bad coils from Halo, which I was able to send back and replace. But by the time I received replacements I had aready moved on. For me, it certainly is a habit. But reliability and versatility are key factors. I'm not trying to knock the Triton, it worked for me for a while. To each his own.

I'd like to go lower on the nic level, so I'm curious about what level you used that made the hit unsatisfying? I'm at 24 mg now, which was what worked on the G6. Less than that and the cravings were back.

They are about the best starter company for e-liquid out there. I'm five months in and still have a bottle from them I vape occasionally. I've moved on but a friend of mine just started and got two bottles of subzero and is real happy with it. She does use an Evod vv though and not a Triton. Personally I would never buy a triton from them but I started with an Evod and moved quickly through other VV devices mech mods and have settled into a VV mod I built myself. My favs from them are torq and turkish.

12 was ok, but 6 was like sucking air. I felt nothing. But use 6 on the MVP2 or ProVari with the Kayfun and it almost kills me

When I first started vaping I enjoyed Halo juices. Now that I have the entire internet of juices at my disposal Halo has fallen darn near the bottom of the list for me. Their prices are high. I am not a fan of their bottles (I prefer plastic for dripping). And most of their juices taste like the perfume department at macys to me.
 
halo is the best ive tried so far no anlog butts for three months now
Got 5 tanks gallons of juice and their variable voltage batteries and different ohm coil selection is good. one cartridge lasts for a whole vial just over 2.6ml of e liquid euals just over a pack. I have averaged my daily price to vape is 2.75 a day compared to a pack a day at Massachusets tax levels 11 dollars a day. saving almost 100 a week. Def try Halo. Get starter kit and go from there. three months and batteries still running stron tho i suggest getting the 2000mHa ones as upgrade from the 900's the kit comes with.

Newbie here :) Halo's equipment uses less common 808 treading which makes it more exclusive to mixing parts from other equipment manufacturers. I was going to get a Halo starter kit but didn't want to be locked into buying only from them because I like experimenting. IMO prices are double. I am very curious about the flavor of their juices. May have to splurge for a taste someday :)

Kringle's Curse (peppermint) and Shamrock (choc/mint) are pretty good. I use Kringle's Curse when I just need a hit after the sweeter things I use and have mixed it with some other juices. I liked their Tribeca a lot when I first started vaping, but rarely use it now.

Halo holds up better. People who start with a Halo system will always go back to it even when they get into mods and all the other fun stuff because it works and it lasts.
Not everyone does. I started with 'em four months ago, moved on, haven't looked back for about 3 months now. I use my old Titon gear now to introduce vaping to newbies; it's good for that, but only with the warning that it's not compatible with current industry standards.

Their juice is pretty damn good as well.
They are, if you find something you happen to like in their very limited range of flavors, and if you like juice that has a high PG/VG ratio. Some people are sensitive to that. I don't have a particular problem with it, I just don't care for the way that much PG dries out my mouth.

Customer service certainly is friendly, VooDoo is an aquired taste. GL on your Halon journey.
