New Halo Max Flavours: The "Bar Salt"
Experience Perfected?
Welcome back to My Vaping Reviews. Today, we’re
taking a deep dive into the latest flavour expansions for a range that has been
making serious waves lately: the Halo Max series by E-Cigarette
Direct.
If you’ve been following the blog, you know I’m always on
the hunt for e-liquids that can actually compete with the intensity of
disposables without ruining your coils or your wallet. Let’s see if these new
additions hit the mark.
The Lowdown: What is Halo Max?
The Halo Max range is the "powerhouse"
sibling in the Halo Vapour Co. family. Designed to deliver that
"ultimate" quality, it uses a double-concentrated formula.
Essentially, it’s a "bar salt" style juice—giving you that massive,
saturated flavor profile usually trapped inside a disposable, but in a 10ml
bottle at a great price.
The Specs:
- Double-Concentrated:
Extra strong flavour punch.
- Ratio:
50:50 VG/PG (Perfect for pod kits).
- Nicotine:
Nic Salts in 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg (plus a 0mg option).
- Price
Point: A very tidy 4 for £10 mix & match deal.
A Quick Word on E-Cigarette Direct
If you're buying vape gear in the UK, you’ve likely come
across E-Cigarette Direct. They’ve been around since the "early
days" (2008!) and have grown into one of the most reliable retailers in
the country. Their Halo brand is legendary for consistency, and the Max range
is their answer to the modern vaper’s demand for bigger, bolder tastes.
My Vape Setup for testing.
For this review, I’ve been putting these flavours through
their paces using:
- Device:
Vaporesso Xros Pro 2
- Pod:
Xros Corex 3.0 Pods
- Coil:
0.6ohm (Pre-installed)
The Corex 3.0 tech is a game-changer for flavor clarity, and
at 0.6ohm, it provides enough warmth to really let those double-concentrated
fruits sing.
The New Flavours: My Detailed Verdict
Halo Max - Dragonfruit & Raspberry
Website Description: Boasts a double-concentrated formula
for extra-strong 'bar salt' style flavour. Ideal for pairing with lower-powered
devices.
My Review: This is a sophisticated little number. The
dragonfruit provides a smooth, almost creamy tropical "body" to the
vape, which perfectly rounds off the sharp, tart notes of the raspberry. It’s
sweet, yes, but it doesn't feel "artificial." On the Xros Pro 2, the
raspberry zing lingers on the tongue long after the exhale. It’s a refreshing
change from the standard berry mixes we see everywhere.
Halo Max - Peach Lemonade
Website Description: Double-concentrated formula for
extra-strong flavour. Works perfectly with lower-powered devices for a smooth,
flavour-filled vape.
My Review: Peach is a notoriously difficult flavor to
get right—it’s often too floral—but Halo has nailed it here. It tastes like a
premium peach iced tea with a fizzy lemonade kick. The citrus edge cuts through
the heavy sweetness of the peach, making it incredibly "moreish." If
you like your vapes bright and summery, this is a top-tier contender.
Website Description: Extra-strong 'bar salt' style
flavour. VG:PG 50:50 formula ideal for pod and starter kits.
My Review: This one is a flavor explosion.
Passionfruit is the dominant note—vibrant and exotic—but the cranberry adds a
lovely dry, slightly bitter finish that stops it from becoming too sickly. It’s
bold, punchy, and exactly what a "Max" flavour should be. It actually
reminded me of a high-end fruit punch.
Halo Max Strawberry Yuzu
Website Description: Double-concentrated formula for
extra-strong 'bar salt' style flavour. Ideal for pairing with lower-powered
devices.
My Review: This was the wildcard for me. We all know
strawberry, but the Yuzu (a Japanese citrus) gives it a unique, zesty twist
that is miles ahead of a standard "Strawberry Lime." It’s sharp,
sweet, and incredibly clean-tasting. It’s the kind of flavuor that keeps your
palate fresh all day.
Halo Max - Pineapple & Grapefruit
Website Description: Boasts a double-concentrated formula
for extra-strong 'bar salt' style flavour. A smooth, flavour-filled vape.
My Review: If you’re a fan of "Zing," look
no further. The pineapple is juicy and sweet (think pineapple cubes), while the
grapefruit brings a sharp, citrusy punch. There is a slight
"bitter-sweet" balance here that is really refreshing. It’s a very
"loud" flavor—it doesn't hide in the background!
The Rest of the Halo Max Line-up

Don’t forget, these new flavours join an already solid
roster. You can mix and match any of these in the 4 for £10 offer:
- Sour Apple
- Blue Raspberry
- Classic Menthol
- Watermelon Ice
- Classic Tobacco
- Banana
- Sour Cherry
- Lemon & Lime
Who is Halo Max for?
If you’ve been sticking to disposables because you find bottled liquid a bit "weak," Halo Max is literally made for you.
The double-concentrated salt formula gives you that same
smooth throat hit and intense flavour saturation, but in a much more sustainable
(and cheaper!) format. Because they are 50:50, they are perfect for your pod
kits and starter mods. You get the "Disposable Experience" with the
quality and safety of a trusted UK brand.
Final Thoughts
The Halo Max range continues to be a benchmark for what a
modern e-liquid should be. These new flavours, especially the Strawberry Yuzu
and Dragonfruit & Raspberry, show that Halo isn't just following
trends—they’re refining them.
Highly recommended for anyone using a pod system like the
Xros who wants maximum flavour without the fuss.
