Comments on the packaging
With the Tribeca and the Torque 56, we had the first two musketeers in history. Athos for the first, noble reconverted in the weapons, smoothness, intelligence and power all at the same time. Porthos for the second, the Gascon troublemaker, roughly stripped but with a heart of gold. We therefore lacked Aramis, the quasi-priest, attracted by the fair sex, finer and more discreet but formidable, a blade in his hand.
It's done today as we continue our walk at Halo with Prime 15, another legendary tobacco e-liquid from the American brand which has had fun collecting them over time.
Halo, all vapers should know this name because it is synonymous with quality and consistency in a sometimes changing panorama of vaping. The first of the great world manufacturers, historically and commercially, even popularized the concept of a vape focused on tobacco or menthol, but always with a research and a sense of timeliness that commands admiration.
The Prime 15 comes, like its swashbuckling comrades, from the same Shake “N” Vap range at 22.90 €, presenting 50 ml of overdosed aroma in a 100 ml plastic container, thus being able to accept up to to five boosters. In this specific case, I would advise you to stop in pairs. If Prime 15 does not lack aromatic power, far from it, you have to know reason to keep and not to dilute the sauce too much.
Otherwise, there is also a 10 ml vial, already nicotine, at a price of 5.90 € and is available in 0, 3, 6, 12 and 18 mg / ml or in concentrate to be diluted in base for 6.20 € for 10 ml. Excuse the little! But as the saying goes: “Whatever the bottle as long as we have drunkenness”. In any case, everyone will be able to find their content there, which is the meaning of an e-liquid intended to be massively distributed.
It is therefore high time to attack the last of the Musketeers, while not forgetting that, like Dumas' work, the three Musketeers were indeed four. But it will be for a next review, I promise. 😉

Again, everything is ok here. TPD compatibility assured, CLP compliant, the Prime 15 is no exception to the rule. We therefore find with pleasure a clear composition, a legality of good quality for the future of the vape and a bottle quite usable on a daily basis.
No complaints ! There is even the saraband of non-mandatory pictograms on this non-nicotine format, proof that who can do the least can sometimes do the most!

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
No wonder here that we find all the visual elements that make up the brand's DNA. The blue background reminds us that we are indeed on the “Historic” range of the manufacturer. The name of the liquid stands out proudly as well as the logo of the brand.
At the center of the label, we will gladly find the emblematic little devil as well as a concise explanation of the taste. Here, therefore, we have “Classic Boisé” which gives us an indication but which will prove, as we will see later, well below the gustatory truth.
Hats off to this visual universe, so personal and timeless, which enjoys the luxury of reconciling design and clarity of information.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Of all the great Halo classics, the Prime 15 is arguably the most affordable for the uninitiated. At the same time, it is also the one that best illustrates the concept of allday.
Indeed, in the tasting as in the smell, we are in known ground. We have a powerful, dry and lively tobacco, a very successful blend of Virginia for the sharpness and Burley for the strength. Effectively woody notes develop quickly in the mouth and pleasantly line the palate. A slight smoky aspect appears from time to time, at the turn of a puff, adding even more realism.
On the finish, a marked note of cocoa reinforces the charm, in a sweeter than bitter interpretation. It thus brings all the subtlety necessary so that the tobacco does not disturb at any time by its harshness.
Here we have a high-level e-liquid, very thoughtful and perfectly up to date for aficionados of the dive plant. We are pleased to find there what makes the heart of a brand liquid: presence, originality and aromatic power. A well-established triptych at Halo.
The recipe is in perfect balance and perfectly assumes its status as a gourmet tobacco, fine and powerful at the same time. I told you: Aramis is in the place!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The Prime 15 is vapable at will on any atomizer. This is due to two outstanding features: a 50/50 ratio of PG / VG which will go as well in a commoner clearomiser as a reconstructable noble. Or the opposite. The second is its aromatic power, very pronounced, which makes it tasty even if it is very airy.
The tobacco is vaped lukewarm / hot, to the power of your choice without losing what makes it all its taste. Clean, it does not clog the coils and offers a volume and a texture of vapor well beyond what one would expect from a usual 50/50.
To vape accompanied by an espresso, it's royal. Also perfect for long aperitifs or short breaks at work. An allday that sounds like a no-brainer.

My mood ticket on this juice
Elegance of simplicity, praise of finesse, these are not the terms that run out of steam when one wishes to qualify the Prime 15. It is, alas, the level of the liquid which drops dangerously under my unhappy gaze.
The Prime 15 is an indisputable success, a tobacco in the purest sense of the term, rich in nuances, full of vigor but always with great presence. Its flavors constantly remind us and the mod never leaves the hand.
What more to add if not the Top Juice which suits him perfectly, for an e-liquid as interesting to initiate to the vape as to continue it.
