It’s been a little while since my last vaping post and I am pleased to say I am still going strong, for the most part. There have been a couple of cheeky cigarettes when I’ve had a few drinks but this is a very rare event and I can hand on heart say there is no temptation to go back to regular smoking. A big part of this for me is the huge array of vape juices on the market, when there are so many fun and interesting flavours to work through it really does keep the temptation at bay, and I have found that the times where I’ve happened to have a cigarette in hand I’m wishing it was my vape instead.

Recently I’ve been trialling a selection of flavoured juices from Halo E-Liquids* available at my favourite haunt, e-cigarette direct. Halo liquids are produced in a state of the art UK factory. It has a 50:50 VP to PG ratio and I’ve been trialling the 6mg of nicotine strength.

Bubble Trouble is described as a fun, bubble mint flavour. Out of the ten flavours I tried this was the one that came through the least for me, it was just a little bit too mild and as such I probably wouldn’t pick it out again.
Blackjack Twist is based on one of my favourite childhood sweets (I don’t need to tell you which one) and is my favourite of the bunch. It really delivers the promised punch of aniseed, with a more subtle sherbet on the exhale.

Pear Drops tastes so much like it’s namesake it’s a bit scary. It really nails that “tang” you get from pear drops sweets and kept me going back for more.
Raspberry Crush is a gentle take on fresh raspberries, concentrated enough to be almost jam like in it’s flavour. I really liked this but couldn’t use too much as it was bordering on too sweet, but would definitely get again for the summer months when my sweet tooth goes through the roof.

Cherry Bakewell was my wild card addition to my selection as I really couldn’t imagine how it would translate in vaping. Turns out it translates pretty well and I found myself really enjoying this flavour with it’s strong cherry base and light and creamy almond finish.
Vanilla Ice Cream was a flavour I had high hopes for and it didn’t let me down. With a heady vanilla flavour with undertones of wafer biscuit this was second on my top ten list and a definite re-purchase. It’s simple, to the point and excels at what it sets out to do.

Spearmint Breeze was exactly that, it’s much creamier than other, menthol heavy mint juices I’ve tried and perfect executed. I’ve been using this when I fancy something fresher and is again a juice I’ll be re-purchasing in the future.
Lemon Fizz was another complete wild card for me as I don’t as a rule like anything citrus. I don’t know how Halo have done it but they have basically liquidised a sherbet lemon sweet and popped it in a bottle. A strong contender for my favourite flavour and one that has to be tried to be believed.

Pineapple Juice does exactly what it says on the bottle and reminds me very much of pineapple cube sweets. It wasn’t a favourite juice of mine although I can’t quite work out why, I think I’ll come back to it in the summer and see if my taste for it has changed.
Apple and Apricot is every bit as fresh and juicy as it sounds and whilst it didn’t make a stand-out impact on me I did enjoy it very much; perhaps a bit too mild for my tastes but for anyone who likes fresh and juicy flavours you should give it a go.

The full Halo range is available on the e-cigarette direct website. They are priced at £3.99 per bottle (or mix and match three for £9.99). There are a few other flavours that I haven’t tried a well as the standard tobacco blends as well. Each flavour comes in strengths ranging from 0.0% up to 1.8%

I’ve been really impressed by the brand and it’s one I will be using regularly in the future. I like to keep these smaller bottles in my bag for being out and about, whilst favouring short-fills at home.

Let me know if you’ve tried the Halo range and what you thought, are there any flavours I’ve missed that I need to try? What other brands of juice are you loving right now?
