Whooooa!!! It's here!!! And is it ever yummy!!! Triton/G6 NooB reports:

Turkish was kind of a nice surprise.
Light tobacco with spicy/clove soft edge to it.
I slurped down a tank pretty quick & tried mixing it with some Freedom Juice (as I'd seen suggested in a couple posts).
Prefer it by itself.

Twisted Java kinda shocked me too. Lotsa peppermint (which Halo seems to do very well - I'm a HUGE Kringle's fan) with the most subtle coffee hint to it. Pretty twisted! I like it.

Prime15 seems like a nice bold tobacco (reminiscent of Torque56) with a salty edge to it. Sorta feel like I can taste a Pringle's potato chip or something. Weirdly enjoyable.

Torque/Tribeca/Belgian-Kringle will most likely reside here with me in large quantities at all times.

Wow! You just described every person in my family! ...

your family has names that start with W and rhyme with easel? that's an odd thing.



ahthankyou

 

[DaveOno]

Haha!
Funny you should mention that, cause I just rinsed out my 3rd attempt at liking it.
I've had it since the 10th (like most of my other Halo juices) so I would THINK it'd be steeped by now, but I've gotta give it some more time.
I'm not giving up on it due to its rabid fanbase, but to me SO FAR it's got a nasty twang to it. (I've done the cap-off bit overnight 3 times & after the 3rd one it smelled ALMOST doable... yet still a bit cough syrupy - same with Southern Classic.)
Seems I'm gonna have to learn some patience.
NOT BAD though - how outta 12 Halo flavors I've ordered, only two haven't been great for me. 83% success rate!
I suspect I'll end up liking at least One of those two down the road.
Time will tell.

I'm liking Voodoo, but it's not the omg elixir that some people swear by (angibe). But then again, I found turkish to be the bottom of the line.

(I'm thinking that we all might have different tastes. I'd have to consult my cannibal friends...)

Out of 13 Halo flavors I've sampled, 3 or 4 haven't been great. All of them are complex, rich, and I'm glad I tried them.

Maybe 3 I wouldn't reorder. But 4 will be in my favs for a while. The others will get another tumble, as my tilt-a-whirl taste buds morph yet again....

And if you want to change flavors with every hit, then do it! I need to stick with one for at least ten pulls, but the most important thing here is...

Whatever it takes to stay off the analogs!!!

Yea @diva I hear you loud and clear.

The thing is that our young lad named @treats is STILL in ICU as far as I am concerned. Just consider me your older brother / I wish LOL

The thing that struck me in a subtle form about one of your posts patient @treats is perhaps the idea that any of US can tell YOU how a given juice should taste, the "tones" your "supposed to taste" or for that matter weather YOU should like it. Sure, if a lot of folks rave about a juice and the general flavor profile appears to be something you might like then by all means go for it BUT:

Please don't get caught in the trap of "what should I be tasting" because I will tell you a secret IF you promise not to tell anyone on planet earth. OK? That kind of "noise" is utter garbage. Fan boy dribble. What IS important is that YOU like a given juice regardless of weather YOU taste what I taste. PERIOD! If you taste motor oil and like it then I'm happy as punch for YOU. If I taste Madacascar Vanilla and I like it then I'm happy for ME. Make sence?

HTH

 

[Zombieslug]

@Boy - I feel ya.
I see that yer tryin to offer necessary help to bring me from "ICU" status.
All is good. I've received my Fusion @ 18mg (today) & am using it periodically to ensure that the VT doesn't return.
I'm still holding off on taking one a my long bike rides, cause I'm enjoying the flavors of my Juices & don't wanna go backwards just yet.
I'm also following yer advice about not confusing/overwhelming/destroying my taste buds with MANY flavors simultaneously... maybe this is why the buds went on strike for so long in the first place.
To be honest, I hadn't even thought that was a bad thing to do (flavor-hopping)... had only seen how it was a bad idea to stick with ONE flavor for too long. Thought it would be ideal to flavor-hop.
Live & Learn. Live & Learn.
(but I AM listening, just so you know - & appreciate you taking the time to offer a helping hand.)
Yeah, I don't really care about trying to taste exactly what others taste in the same Liquid, as I know that would be physically impossible to make happen.
Just wanna Enjoy me some Tasty Vapes.
(and I definitely AM, now!)

 

[CafeDigitalDiva]

Now THAT'S the spirit Smokie! Good to see you can take instruction well, and listen to your elders, lol! Also good to see you're not like some of these young people who are all angry and angst ridden, sullen....and well, just downright grumpy! Keep up the good work, and of course.....VAPE ON! ( um, per SeniorBoy's wise instruction of course).

 

[Zombieslug]

@CafeDigitalDiva - Haha! I TRY not to get too grumpy, but have to admit I've clearly been a bit less-than-delighted during the VT struggle... and surely come across as kind of an a$$hleeoleeole toward my mentor @Boy in a few posts.
Cut & dry case of transference.
Vaping wasn't nearly as much fun for week 2 & week 3, so I had to lash out at SOMEONE!
Sorry to be a DramaKing @Boy! (& all others who've tolerated my nonsense - thx for all the pep-talks)
-time!

 

[wheezal]

wait...we haf to apologize for nonsense?




uh-oh.

 

[SeniorBoy]

Not to worry @Treats.

I understand completely and am very very happy for your great progress. @Diva hit the nail on the head and I concur. Your moved to "outpatient care" LOL

Their is however an issue that still remains and I'm trying to wrap my head around it but I still don't understand it. Your bike riding which I totally respect and admire a great deal. I'm also a "gym rat" nut case (cardio, weights, treadmill, swimming, recumbent bike, hikes outdoors etc. so here is the issue:

What the hell or how the hell does riding a bike for miles and miles, raising your heart beats to the target zone etc have anything to do with vaping? Your hydrated before the ride? You hydrate during the ride? You hydrate after the ride? You had a light meal before the ride? You have a healthy snack after the ride? I just don't see a connection nor due I see any reason for you to stop the bike rides since it obviously brings joy to you. Maybe you vape during your ride? I need details please.

 

[Zombieslug]

@Boy - Yeah, well... my bike rides aren't "head-down with the helmet on, knees pumping at 1,000 RPM's" type of rides.
My bike weighs 50-some-odd pounds (loaded down with gear, tools, beverages, speakers, etc.) & is a 3-speed (stretch) Cruiser.
I cruise for usually a good 25-30 miles (sometimes more) at an average speed of 8 or 9 mph blastin my music, stoppin to chat with people, stoppin off at the beach or a park to chill in between - maybe do some reading.
But usually pedaling, pedaling, and more pedaling.
Used to have a cigarette in my mouth to puff on a good deal of that time. And I Always have lotsa water, so remain as hydrated as possible, but often end up being out and about for 6-8 hours at a time.
My few rides since starting vaping consisted of 2 lanyards around my neck, and my holster with back-up tanks.
Much transpired on these rides, and even after pounding my obligatory 3-4 tall glasses of water on return, coupled with long cold shower to drop my body temp (it IS Florida, remember) I was finding that I couldn't taste my vapes toward the ends of the rides, or when I got home, or MOST of the next day/day-and-a-half.
Then the buds would start working again just before I wanted to go out for another ride (which I usually do every 2 or 3 days).
That's why I was saying 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
As far as my analog-days, I'd usually smoke one 100 every hour, except when I'm out & about havin fun.
Then I have bordered on being a "chainer-ba$tard" (as was my X's loving nick-name for me).
So, that's the deal.
& BTW, even doing everything right, lotsa water, lotsa Biotine, lotsa tongue-brushing, Fusion usage, no more than 2 flavors at a time, etc. - I'm back down to around 85-90% again last night & today... so still holding off on the bike rides, and thinking that when I DO go back out on one... well... Something's gotta change.
Shorter rides? maybe. kinda lame, though.
Should I be getting me some 6mg Fusion by the gallon you think? that'd STILL be drawing water outta me at the same rate, wouldn't it?
I dunno. I'm not stressin it. Wouldn't've even mentioned it if U hadn't asked. Just gonna wait it out a little longer & stay on the strict regimen.
Honestly, EVERY time I do the Baking Soda Rinse - I have good little vape-sessions for awhile (DEFINITELY rejuvinates the buds - as I'd seen in this post: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/343948-fix-dead-taste-smell.html )
Whatever.
I feel like a crack-head/smack junkie "chasing the dragon" or something.
Thing is, I keep CATCHING the dragon, then it keeps getting away for some reason.
it's now 2:30am on 11/6, and everything tasted great from Halloween morning til yesterday evening.
Whatever. I really don't care all that much at this point, cause it's still Way better than cigs.
Even Fusion.

Yeah, FORGET ABOUT IT!
Just went outside for a little 4:20 session and WHAM!

Here's my Iridescent with a purple Protank I got on the cheap. (It's mainly Yellow/Orange/Pink & Teal/Green. NOT AT ALL the colors I thought it'd be from the pics on the Halo site... where it looks more Deep Purple/Green/Blueish... bummer.)

enjoy the vaping journey and just know all the information you get here is real and can help you with lots of new and exciting things to try and avoid.

Hey @Treats!

So...your OK on your bike rides? That's one hell of a bike ride and from your description it sure sounds like fun with lots of "social interaction" along the way. Maybe I missed it but do you eat food on these long rides? Snacks that are light and healthy and on a gigantis earth shattering 6 hour venture snack and hydrate as the ride progresses. Call it fuel for your system.

LOL...yea I know Florida weather issues. I lived in the Republic of Panama for a few months on and off. You could cut the humidity with a knife and hot hot hot.

Enjoy

This IS the Logical assumption. I agree. And is entirely possible.
However I am unable to admit or deny due to the Prime Directive of the Zorgoth Empire High Command.

 

[Zombieslug]

Yeah, it's just a bit too "PURTY" 4 me.
Big fan of the rich colder colors Deep Purple/Green/Blue, but not such a fan of anything on the yellow/orange end of the spectrum - which is mostly what this particular battery screams.
Pink & Teal make up the rest, with NO SIGN of the colors I'd hoped it'd be... & it's just too feminine-looking.
I'm secure in my masculinity & all, but this feels like a gay pride flag wrapped around my battery.
It's Unique, but just not really what I was expecting.
