Hi Spivey,

We would love to offer higher levels, however it becomes a risk on our end to sell 36mg juice for straight vaping. Until we do a bit more research, 24mg is the highest we will be offering on flavored e-liquids. Its kind of a catch-22 for us. We'd love to sell more e-liquid and know there is a market for 36mg, yet we want to ensure the safety of our customers as well. I hope you understand our position on this.

Yeowzers, that would make my brain explode. I smoke halo at about 18 though I am trying to kick back to 12.

I have other juice that I vape at 24 but honestly, I get a better buzz from halo at a lower nic level than the other.

What are you vaping at voltage wise? If you are not up there, I would ponder uping the voltage....at six volts, I get a pretty dang good nic kick from my halo stuff.

Well, then I guess I wasn't much help. I brought it up because I see alot of 510 users thinking they need to just keep upping the nic level.

3.7 is what I vape my torque and freedom juice in. Menthol will give you a nice rush at 6V...there are days though that the torque is mighty fine at 6....I use 510 cartos, no melt and as long as you top them off before they start to drain down, never burnt.

But obviously I haven't helped you and I guess you are sol with this for now.

Well you indirectly answered a question I was going to look into myself. Some liquids I've tried are absolutely horrible in cartos; and I've found thicker liquids to be amongst the worst. I've tried Ultra/ Ecopure in them and could not stand the taste. Since Halo's liquid tends to run on the thicker side I was curious about it - but from your comments it sounds like they hold their own.

I'm going to keep watching his site and forum to see if they ever do go to 36mg.

I use 510 mega cartos, get rid of the soft top, just drip/fill into them as needed after initial fill and either use a drip tip or just tailpipe. No problems at all with my halo at either voltage with the cartos. Clouds of vapor is running a sale on them this week.
They are fantastic, I use them like hell for about ten days top, pitch them and start fresh.
Nothing finer than a fresh carto and some torque!

I vape Halo, TV and some occassional nhaler lung juice. No carto problems at all. Just fill direct from the top, keep it out of the middle, keep dripping around the sides till it looks like an overly soggy sponge. One gentle blow to get rid of overflow and I am good to go. I top off several times during the day, try to avoid them getting that 'dry' look on the filler.
I think out of all my juice, halo absorbs into the cartos the best and the most even.

The tobacco flavors I currently vape taste horrible in cartos, hence not changing exclusively to them. That and the issue I mentioned earlier with thicker juices not working in them (for me at least).

I only drip when I have to - I move around to much to be bothered with carrying a bottle of juice with me and seldom have the chance to drip every time the atty runs dry. How do you manage that while you're driving?

Since I've gained the attention of some carto experts let me ask this - how do you prevent the cartos from spitting (juice in mouth while inhaling)? No matter which method I use to fill them this is a persistent problem that's really turning me off to them.

A short drip tip helps. Let them sit upright for a wee bit after filling. After you fill, grab a napkin or something. Gently blow in the carto, if it blows freely you usually don't get spit, otherwise, the gentle blow will get rid of the overfill and you should be good. Sometimes you need to repeat.

I like them because I am always on the go, hated all the messing around with carts, leaking and all that crap and like you dripping isn't convenient, I like to just vape without having to drip constantly. Though I do top off my cartos alot. Either I vape too much or I really detest them getting dry.

You blew too hard! Just a little puff to get the gurgle out is all you want to do. Alot of times I just hold my carto up over the bottle and keep filling till it drips out the bottle. A little poof on the end, wipe it off, shake it, you should be good to go. If the top looks white and dry, just add a couple drops to the filler. I try to fill around the sides, not down the middle.
I've been using them for a couple months now, it does require a bit of trial and error. Now it is just second nature, I know when to top off, about how much to add without over filling etc.
I use COV's or Nhalers cartos only. Ton's of carto discussion in the thag built forum that might help you out.
They aren't for everyone, I just love the ease of use. The first week or so, yeah, I got spit at daily, now, rarely ever. LOL!

So....has Halo had a chance to research selling higher nic levels yet? I'd love to try the new flavors coming out, but I can't spend the money on something that won't work for me in the long run.

Hi Spivey. We are waiting to see where the FDA will fall with their upcoming regulations regarding maximum Nicotine levels. We don't want to invest in new production runs if they will be disallowed in a few months. We would love to offer higher Nic levels to our customers in the future, but will be waiting on the pending regulation first. I hope you understand our position on this.
