did you get a menthol vibe from this?
i'm vaping it in a boge atm at 4.8V and while i'm not getting the detergent twang anymore I'm not getting anything much other thasn a strange muted flavour and an incredibly strong menthol vibe

Didn't really notice that using the echo cartos, I nuked the carto that I filled with it, so no testing it again, don't think i'll be filling another one either.

HC USA Mix 11mg PG

I really can't associate this with anything to describe it accurately tbh but here goes.. you don't get much of a smell from the bottle and it gives a off a very muted fruity/woody taste to it but I'm really not sure, it's worth trying imo.

Flavour - 7/10

Vape 7.5/10

Throat hit 8/10

It's a shame the vape is on the dry side though, every time I find a tobacco flavour I enjoy, they always have a dry vape unfortunately.

Merry Christmas fellow vapers!

Ever get fed up of them all? I think they pretty much all taste chemically! More so when using them all day. Wonder why they don't use ethanol too? After cleaning atomisers using it the juice is full of flavour. The amount that would get into the bloodstream would be minuscule and at least we know the long term effects as opposed to PG or VG.

Sweet, creamy menthol?
Sounds intrigueing!

I'll pm my details. Thanks.

I've more or less stopped vaping , before I decided to I had ordered a few liquids that arrived, so I couldn't resist trying them

I decided to explore the Halo range some more.

Trupure Menthol 11mg.

Very nice vape, it's unlike any other menthol I've tried, it doesn't have that sharp mint taste most menthols do, in fact it's really quite a sweet mild menthol and you get a little hint of liquorice on the exhale.

I little touch on the dry side to vape, but nothing like the torque or prime flavours.

Taste 9/10
Vape Production 8/10
Throat Hit 8/10

Tiki Juice 11mg

I was hoping this was going to be as interesting as the Malibu flavour, but I knew once I opened the bottle I wasn't going to like this liquid, but that's just personal taste buds, I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon or aniseed and I suspect both are part of the ingredients, along with a very warm and rich orange aroma.

It's a very warm flavour, reminds you of Christmas/Winter with it's cinnamon and orange flavours but for me, it almost tastes like those Christmas potpourri baskets, I'm sure some folks will love this flavour and the vape isn't as dry as other Halo liquids which is a plus.

Taste 6/10 (personal taste buds tbh)
Vape Production 9/10
Throat hit 7/10, very mild throat hit.

General summary of Halo liquids

To date I've tried 6-8 of them and most of them have a characteristically dry vape, which unfortunately lets them down a bit imo, the exceptions to this are the Malibu, Tikki and to a lesser extent the Tru Pure.

They are good liquids and arguably the best at mimicking analogues but ultimately there's only one or two liquids out of 8 that I'd happily vape all day, i'd vape the others all day no problem if they weren't so dry .

I'll be putting loads of liquids and stuff on the FS thread (at a knock down price) soon if anyone is interested in trying these.

So how long did this take and did you find that just tasting the juices made you want more?
Might be interested in your offer when it comes up, 2 mill is enough for a sample, and 10 is wasted if it in the capuchino bracket. I'll watch the sale thread.

I was actually surprised how easily I was able to stop vaping, the cravings didn't come around as often as I thought they would and they didn't seem to last long either. I still kept a dual coil topped up and a battery charged, first day I stopped morning vaping and slowly but surely over a week reduced my vaping down to nothing.

Opening up the True Pure did make me stop and think, ahh sure, just this bottle and then we'll quit but I haven't touched it since opening it a few days ago, I'll keep very limited vaping materials within touching distance just in case I ever have an urge to touch an analogue.

Was wondering when i would see a post like this.
How long have you been vaping for Samba? (bearing in mind ya will probably vape when neccesary in future)

About 7 months, before when I was playing cards for a living, I was easily smoking a pack of camel a day, I can't recall any other method/product for giving up that comes anywhere close to vaping, really is a god send for smokers looking to quit imo.

Samba, thats awesome.
Did you just stop altogether or did you reduce the strength gradually and stop?

Cheers,

I started on 24mg (which I found far too strong), went all the way down to 6 in small steps, but then I found I started vaping too much again, so I went back to 11mg and gradually reduced my intake. You have to take baby steps, start with the first pang of the day and make yourself determined to ride it out, just tell yourself you can have a vape later, then you approach the next one, the following day and so forth, it's just a matter of ridding yourself of those ritualistic vapes you become accustomed to.

In all previous attempts at give up smoking, at one point or another I've always had a moment where I've stopped and thought, I'll never be able to have another cigarette again and I couldn't bear the thought of this because I knew once i started having just one or two that I'd be back on them in no time and it simply wasn't an option.

When I decided on quitting vaping, it didn't occur to me that I'd never be able to vape again, because I always felt that it would fairly harmless to continue on ultra low nicotine consumption for those moments of great duress, and as you decrease your intake levels, these moments become less frequent naturally.

Fair play, it has worked out extremely well for you.
I'd like to get to that stage where i can just vape when neccesary.
At the moment i'm still thinking to get this or try that as i enjoy it but definitely wanna rely on vaping less and will focus on that in time.

Any Mods to sell? :P

The best advice I can offer is take it slow and at your own pace, and the old saying of out sight is out of mind holds true, pack up your equipment and put it out of touching distance apart from a few bare essentials, and don't have them too easily accessible either. You'll soon find yourself spending less time going rummaging for a quick vape

Unfortunately I've no mods/variables and no Halo liquids left either as my bro cleaned me out, I do have a few freebies I'll throw up soon, been rather busy lately.

So err..ehh...ahem, liquids right guys? (sorry mods )
