E-Cig Review: Halo
Things are getting really good here. Halo sent me *almost* the perfect starter kit!
I mentioned before about how nice the packaging is from some of these companies, and Halo is the most unique so far. They sent me their G6 Basic Starter Kit which comes in this great little round tin. When opened, it reveals a smartly packaged dual battery kit, complete with 2 blank and 5 pre-filled cartomizers, a USB charger, wall adapter, cartomizer case and a manual, all for $55. This really is a smart looking little starter kit that would probably be a big hit under the Christmas tree at this time of year.
I got both an automatic and manual battery with my trial kit, which is nice. I like to be able to check both out. Both work perfectly, of course. I made note that the manual battery’s button is made very flush with the cylinder, which will probably aid in you not catching it on your pocket or pressing it accidentally. The batteries last easily half a day and charge fairly quickly as well, so you won’t be with no e-cig looking for a smoke. The cartomizers worked quite well with no filler taste. Good vapor.
Here’s where Halo has some smart things going on for them. Halo, by providing *blank* cartomizers and GOOD directions on how to fill them up, sort of encourages you to pursue the next step in your e-cig-volution, which is purchasing e-juice and filling your own carts. This is pretty important because the rabbit hole gets WAY deeper, folks, and can also be a lot more satisfying and interesting, and filling your own carts is a good foray.
Halo sells some really good e-juice and sent me a nice sample pack to try. My favorite sample was the Twisted Java. What’s important here for me was actually trying a bunch of different kinds opened up my mind to being able to smoke, and REALLY enjoy flavors other than tobacco! To that end, if they are reading, if they wanted to send me samples of Shamrock, Mystic and Kringles Curse (I love that name BTW), I sure would be happy to let you all know what I think of them 🙂
Halo also sells a decent range of accessories and other goodies on their website, which is good looking and easy to navigate.
Now the reason I said they sell *almost* the perfect starter kit is, in my mind, there are only 2 things missing here. They should include a Portable Charging Case AND a sample bottle of e-juice, both of which they sell separately. Both items are quite reasonably priced separately but it would certainly make the perfect kit to have it all to start with!
Again, good value here. $55 is not bad for 2 batteries, all the charging gear 5 pre-filled cartomizers and 2 blanks, plus that nifty tin to carry it all around in. Go check them out and tell them Linc sent ya!
I’m subscribed to linuxplanet blogs RSS and I’m seeing all this e-cigs posts for a while now filling the feeds and I’m quite fed up with this as I don’t give a shit about smoking, if I were, I’d subscribe myself to a smoking blog, wouldn’t I?
But I didn’t, what I did was to subscribe to a LINUX blog, because LINUX is what I’m interested in, not cigarettes!
So, can you please explain me how the FUCK is this E-cig related to linux???
Please stop tagging the posts with linux! I don’t care if they run linux kernel inside them!
Hey TuxSax, where are they tagged as Linux? Look at the top of the post – only tagged as “smoking”..
