James over at e-cigarette direct got in touch, and sent over their brand new range of Halo Shortfills, for me to try out and give my opinion on.
E-CIGARETTE DIRECT : FROM KITCHEN TABLE TO WORLD WIDE SUPPLIER
The company was founded in 2008 by Jean Rasbridge and James Dunworth. Initially run from Jean’s kitchen in an old farmhouse, the company grew rapidly through its focus on customer support and service and after Jean’s shed, drive and dining room (the last straw!) had been turned into packing stations, the company moved to its first warehouse.
In 2013 the company opened its first shop in Neath, South Wales, and now has a network of shops throughout the South-West and Wales, and resellers as far away as Australia.
About Halo
It has been a long time coming but Halo Vapour Co. e-liquid is finally available bigger and (arguably) better than ever in this fantastically tasty new short fill range.
Whilst it would have been easy to simply offer some of our existing flavours in larger bottles, we wanted to take the opportunity to expand on our existing menu, whilst simultaneously opening up the Halo Vapour Co. name to a new kind of customer.
Each of these four brand new flavours have been carefully crafted from scratch, to the same high standard as our flagship 10ml range, and represent the four main flavour groups from the original line up: Tobacco, Menthol, Fruits and Desserts.
Something for everyone ... and pretty damn delicious! Enjoy :)
Halo High Standards
E-cigarette Direct are super fussy about testing, and in addition to standard emission testing they also test these e-liquids in an independent laboratory (something they started doing long before emissions testing was required by law!) The Halo Shortfills are an evolution of the Halo 10mls, with related but distinctly different tastes.
A super fresh and slightly sweet tobacco rounded off with a subtle hint of citrus fruits.
On Vaping Tobacco Gold.
I will be the first to admit, that I'm not a massive fan of Tobacco inspired Vapes, So I found it quite odd, to how drawn I was to this flavour whilst testing, I imagined I would Vape it whilst reviewing, then put it down. But I have been happily Vaping my way through the bottle, and it has turned out to be one of those flavours that just gets better and better the longer you Vape it.
To begin with it started off as a classic RY4 type Tobacco. Which was, to be honest a really pleasing to Vape, with all the characteristics that you would look for in a Tobacco Vape. By about day two, the true flavour profile of the blend began to come through, the initial Tobacco harshness seemed to melt away into more of a glossy caramel smoothness, that literally glided in over your tongue, as it travels further up your tongue, this smoothness is slowly sharpened and invigorate by the addition of an almost aromatic spiced edge, that seems to pick out the sweetness of the Tobacco. In the same way that cinnamon, brings out the sweetness of the baked Apple.
The relaxing exhale, allows for the ultra smooth creamy Tobacco to effortlessly drift out over your tongue, with the pre disclosed citrus notes adding a welcome level of freshness, lifting what could end up being quite a heavy Vape.
Conclusion.
You can literally taste the amount of work that has gone into this blend, the master mixers at Halo, seem to have blended this ejuice for the long term rather than the short term, so the true flavour won't appear until the you've been Vaping it for a day. So unlike some flavours which start off great but loose their shine, Tobacco Gold just seems to improve over time, like a fine wine.
So wether or not you like your Tobacco Vapes I would give it a try, I'm sure like me you'll be pleasantly surprised .
