Torque 56 was sort of a holy grail for me. I had seen this juice mentioned countless times over the years as a great tobacco flavor and I knew I just had to try it. I love tobacco flavors but unfortunately a lot of them don't nail the flavor quite as much as you would like.

I finally got around to giving Torque 56 a try and was impressed by it and it's familiar flavor (I'll get to that part in a bit). It's a very smooth and mellow tobacco blend, but it does have a little kick to it. I don't think there's anything out there that truly captures all the nuances of smoking and actual cigarette, but this juice does a pretty decent job, all while having its own unique flavor. Even my wife, who still smokes (although I'm trying to change that) was impressed with it. She said "it tastes just like a cigarette".

At first you get an earthy, woodsy tobacco type flavor but it gives way to a mellow smoothness with some notes of smoky, slightly sweet maple. I was hoping for more of a throat hit but alas the 20 mg nic salts didn't pack as much of a punch as I hoped. In the future I might pick up a bottle of 50 mg salts for when I need those quick hits of nicotine, like at work and then a bottle of 20 or 35 mg for casual all day vaping.

Overall, Torque is really good stuff. It's a unique flavor all its own that comes together and somehow resembles tobacco. Again, I don't think anything out there can really emulate a combustible cigarette but it does do an admirable job of capturing some of that feeling in a vape and I would definitely recommend it as a "craving killer" for those who just quit cigarettes.

Interestingly, I actually tried Torque before unknowingly. I used the Vuse Alto briefly after quitting smoking and absolutely loved the original flavor pods. I stopped using the Alto but still craved that original flavor they had, so I did some research online. Little did I know they used Torque 56 for their original flavor. I finally went ahead and ordered some and confirmed it...exactly the same stuff.

I can understand why a lot of people who vape gravitate to sweet or fruity flavors, it's hard to recreate that authentic tobacco flavor. Torque may not totally replicate that cigarette flavor but it's decent enough to satisfy my tobacco craving for sure.

As a former menthol smoker, finding a good menthol vape has been challenging. A lot of juices I tried attempted to pull off a tobacco/menthol taste and have failed miserably. Subzero cuts right to the chase...it's a straight up icy cold menthol blast with no surprises. There's no tobacco, or unnecessary sweetness, or any other surprises. Just a cool, refreshing menthol. Nothing more, nothing less.

A quick whiff from the bottle confirms it. Yup, it's definitely menthol. A pretty potent smelling one at that. Upon the first inhale you are greeted with a pretty strong blast of icy fresh menthol. I taste a predominant blend of spearmint but there's some light notes of peppermint detected and just a touch of sweetness. Make no mistake, this is a pretty intense menthol blend and the coolness definitely lingers on the exhale, leaving your mouth fresh and cool.

This is also a wonderful juice for mixing, too. A few drops blended with another flavor gives it a nice coolness you can customize to your liking. I would have liked a bit more of a peppermint kick, but Halo has a separate blend called Kringle's Curse if you after more of a peppermint flavor.

However, Subzero is still a great choice if you want an icy cold menthol vape.

Anyone on a quest for new flavors or companies to try at one point or another will undoubtedly come across Halo. After reading lots of praise for them over the years I decided to finally give them a shot. Lately I've been craving tobacco type flavors so the closest thing I got my hands on was Tribeca.

At first puff the stuff is amazing. Lush aroma straight out of the bottle, complex flavor profile that loosely resembles tobacco, yet is unlike any traditional tobacco you've ever had. On the inhale you get a deep tobacco type flavor that gives way to subtle rich notes of sweetness - something along the lines of vanilla, caramel all wrapped up in an earthy tobacco backdrop.

It's definitely worth a vape for anyone who hasn't tried it yet. However, even though it only came across as mildly sweet it is a very rich flavor. While I loved it immediately and vaped it exclusively for about a week, the flavor became a bit rich and overpowering for me. It's a great flavor, don't get me wrong but as an ADV it is just doesn't have that simple, mellow flavor you enjoy all day. It's very rich and bold and just something I enjoy every so often.

It is quite mellow and smooth mixed with some menthol, but by itself it's more of an indulgent vape one might enjoy on a less frequent basis.
