As the legend goes, back in 2009, a group of friends met around a table for lunch to discuss how they could make excellent e-liquids. Since then, they’ve gradually expanded to offer e-cigs, vape pens, and mods, but their goal has always been to raise the standards for the vaping industry. Our Halo Cigs review will tell you everything you need to know.
First Impression
Halo Cigs is a vaping company based in the state of Florida that caters to adult vapers trying to quit cigarettes. They are a very professional company with high quality products and their own unique line of e-liquids.
HaloCigs Vapor Production
Halo Cigs devices produce a healthy stream of vapor though most of them are not meant as cloud-chuckers. Cig-a-likes and vape pens are designed as mouth-to-lung devices, so by their very nature they’ll produce less vapor. In my Halo Cigs review, I found that the mods do produce some healthy clouds, but since they are meant to help people quit smoking, the vapor production isn’t necessarily the main feature.
Halo Cigs Accessories
Besides anything that is included in the starter packs themselves, you won’t find a ton of accessories. They have a tab for tanks, coils, and batteries required for the packs themselves, but you won’t find too many tchotchkes or add-ons.
Since Halo caters to an older crowd, most of their starter packs are sold complete with all the parts you’d need to start vaping immediately. Their customer base generally doesn’t keep a large collection of vaping equipment at home, and many of them have never vaped before.
HaloCigs E-Liquid Flavors
Halo Cigs carries its own line of e-liquids. The e-liquids come in a variety of flavors, and they offer bundle packages and sampler packs so you can customize your vape to your liking.
Here you’ll find your standard tobacco and menthol e-juice flavors, but you’ll also find Devlin Smooth Caramel, Belgian Cocoa, Cookie Karma. You’ll even find some gourmet flavors like Voodoo Sugar and Spice, an exotic blend of black currant, grape, plum, spices, and vanilla.
Best of all, Halo makes all of its e-liquids in America so it can monitor them at every step of the process. They guarantee that every single bottle was made by trained chemists, stored at the right temperature, and steeped properly.
In my Halo Cigs review, I found that most of the e-liquids were very good. The flavors weren’t necessarily that original, but they were clean and delicious nonetheless.
Halo eCigs Battery Performance & Charging
The batteries are fairly standard for the devices they are meant to support. Most vape pens have batteries of 650-750mAh, and most vape mods run on batteries with capacities of anywhere from 2,200-4,500mAh.
Selection
Though the products they offer are of high-quality, there isn’t necessarily a wide selection. Halo Cigs caters to adult smokers who want to quit, and so most of their devices are simple and functional.
You’ll find a few different kinds of e-cigarettes, some tube mods, and a couple of hand-held vape mods that offer slightly more power. They do, however, carry their own e-liquid blends that you can purchase right from their website.
Essentially, this is not the kind of company you’ll turn to for DNA chips, touch screens, and high-tech gadgets. Rather, Halo Cigs prides themself on their standards. All of their products are made with the best ingredients and are held to the highest standards. You might say that quality is more important to them than quantity–as, of course, it should be.
Packaging & Design
Halo-Cigs uses a simple black background for its packaging to highlight the lightning blue font displayed across the front of its boxes. Look for the signature blue flame, and you’ll know its Halo. Overall, the packaging is rather simple but nonetheless classy and professional.
Their packaging and color scheme is consistent throughout their product line as well. Most of the devices are made from a glossy metallic alloy and can be found in black, stainless steel, or blue.
HaloCigs Shipping
Most of the time, Halo tries to send your entire shipment as a single package. However, if that’s not possible, they will send your pieces out separately as they become available. In that case, when they notify you that your order has shipped, they don’t necessarily mean the entire order has shipped together.
Halo E-Cigs Warranty
Halo processes its orders within a shocking 20 minutes, so unless you change your mind very quickly, chances are you won’t be able to change your order. They do this to ensure that their customers receive their orders as quickly as possible.
If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return the products to the company for a full refund within 30 days of the original sale. However, Halo Cigs does not accept any returns on consumables, such as cartridges, cartomizers, and atomizers unless they are defective. If they are unusable, you can return them to the company for a full refund within 30 days.
E-liquids are the only exception. Halo Cigs does not accept returns on any of its e-liquids though it does offer 7ml sample packs so you can try different flavors without committing to a larger bottle.
Customer Service
If you need to contact Halo Cigs’ customer service team for any reason, you can send them an email via their website. You can also reach them via phone at (866) 305-Halo (4256).
Unlike many of our other favorite e-cigarette companies, Halo’s database is located in the state of Florida. So, their customer service team is staffed by English-speaking employees who can help you directly with any of your concerns.
However, remember that if you purchase any Halo e-liquids or e-cigarette merchandise from another online retailer, you should go through the second party rather than contacting the manufacturer directly. Online retailers have different warranties and return policies than the companies whose products they sell.
HaloCigs Starter Kits
Halo offers a basic cig-a-like for any newbies and then three main starter kits and the editions that they’ve released of each product since then. We thought we would review their starter packs to see how their products measure up to their competition.
Halo Cigs G6 E-Cigarette Review
The G6 is an e-cigarette designed for new vapers and smokers looking to quit. The kit comes with two batteries that last about 200 puffs each and five cartomizers that you can color coordinate to organize your e-liquids. The cartomizers are easy to swap in and out, and you can even refill them when they’re empty. So, instead of constantly purchasing refills, you can save some extra cash and simply buy a 30ml bottle of e-liquid.
You can either purchase the cartomizers blank or pre-filled with any combination of the following flavors: Tribeca, Subzero, Prime15, Belgian Cocoa, HX3, Turkish Tobacco, Torque 56, Menthol Ice, and Malibu. E-liquids can be ordered with nicotine concentrations of 6, 12, 18, or 24mg/ml. The flavor descriptions are found on their e-liquid page.
The e-cigarette is clearly well-made. The outside is sleek and shiny, and it feels smooth in my hand. I love using the different color cartridges–I use one for tobacco, another for menthol, etc. As a former pack-a-day smoker, I usually go through about two cartridges and four to six batteries on an average day, so I generally charge my batteries with me during the day. Great work, Halo! Love the product. Highly, highly recommend.

Halo Cigs Triton Vape Pen Review
The Triton is Halo’s premier vape pen kit for anyone who’s graduated from cig-a-likes but still wants something simple. The pen comes with a manual battery but no variable voltage, so you’ll simply have to hold down the button to draw. The battery has a capacity of 650mAh, which should last you through most of the afternoon, and the tank holds 2.4ml, which is a fair amount considering the resistance varies between 2.2 and 2.4Ω.
You can either purchase this pen on its own or with a kit. The kit comes with 2 Triton Lithium-Ion Batteries, 2 Glass Tanks, 1 Triton Nose Cone, a USB Charging Cable, and 30ml Bottle of Halo E-Liquid in the flavour of your choice. The single pen comes with a battery and tank along with a charging cable. You’ll enjoy this pen for its smooth draw and its harder throat hit. Plus, it comes in several vibrant colors you’ll adore.
I’m an advanced vaper, and even though I’ve been vaping for 13 years, I always keep my Triton in my pocket. It’s just so simple that I can bring it with me pretty much anywhere I go.

Halo Cigs Triton II Vape Pen Review
The Triton II is just as sleek and portable as the original design, but it offers more battery life and lower sub-ohm resistance levels. The starter kit comes with two batteries, three coil heads, two tanks, a wide bore drip tip, 2 standard mouthpieces, and a wall charger and cable. With a capacity of 700mAh and a resistance of just 0.75Ω, this vape pen is more powerful than ever. However, the tank is only 2ml as opposed to the original 2.4ml. With lower resistance, you’ll end up consuming more e-liquid far more quickly than before. If the sub-ohm resistance is important to you, you’ll simply have to bring e-liquid with you to refill the tank every once in a while. In any case, the Triton II offers enough power for both beginners and advanced vapers alike, and it costs only $5 more than the first edition.
You don’t often see vape pens with so much power. Vape pens are usually just a step up from cigarettes, but with sub-ohm power, this one stands out from the pack.

Halo Cigs Tracer Vape Mod Review
The Tracer is Halo Cigs’ tube mod. With a resistance of 0.5Ω this tube mod fires at sub-ohm levels. However, the mod should last you at least the majority of the day because the tank holds 4ml, and the battery has a capacity of 2,300mAh. The tank also comes with four adjustable slots so you can increase or decrease airflow according to your preferences. You even get a free bottle of high-VG e-liquid in the flavor of your choice simply by purchasing the standard kit.
Even though this mod offers vapers far more in terms of power, it’s still relatively simple in its controls. With just a single fire button, there is no learning curve on this device. The Tracer offers the power of a small box mod with the usability of a vape pen.
This mod is the perfect compromise. I was looking for a step up, but as a busy professional with a family at home, I don’t have time to fiddle around with vaporizer parts. I just want to pop in my cartomizer and go. This gives me exactly that.

Halo Cigs Tracer Twist Vape Mod Review
The Tracer Twist differs from the original Tracer insofar as it offers vapers variable wattage control. On the Tracer Twist, you can vary the wattage from 5W all the way up to 30W. Though 30W is still a relatively moderate level, it should be more than enough for most intermediate vapers. You can also vape on bypass mode so you can vape while charging.
Otherwise, the Tracer Twist is almost identical to its predecessor. It also has a battery capacity of 2,300mAh and a resistance of 0.5Ω. At 3.5ml, the tank is slightly smaller, but not significantly so. The kit includes the battery and tank as well as two drip tips–glass and stainless steel. You’ll also receive two coil heads and a charger but no e-liquid.
The Tracer Twist gives me the chance to experiment with wattage settings without worrying about Ohm’s Law or battery safety like I would with a more advanced mod. I’m hoping to buy a proper box mod in a few months, but I’ve learned quite a bit from this mod in the meantime.

Halo Cigs Reactor Box Mod Review
The Reactor is Halo Cigs’ first box mod. This device is far more advanced than the G6 and the Triton, but the learning curve isn’t too steep for first-time vapers. There is variable voltage and wattage control on the OLED display, and the mod itself has a sleek metallic body that comes in a variety of bright colors.
The battery can reach a maximum power output of 50W with a resistance of only 0.5Ω, so you should be able to blow fairly large clouds. Plus, the tank holds 5ml, and the battery is made with 4,400mAh. With those specs, you shouldn’t have to worry about recharging or refilling all that often. The battery is strong enough and the tank large enough to keep you vaping all day long, and the adjustable airflow control around the base of the tank will allow you to change the draw to your liking.
Besides the standard battery and tank, this mod comes with two dual coils, a charger, and a stainless steel mouthpiece. They also throw in a bottle of high-VG!
This is my first vaporizer, and I haven’t taken a second look at my cigs!

Halo Cigs Reactor Shorty Box Mod Review
The Reactor Shorty is almost identical to Eleaf’s iStick Pico mod. It has a threaded battery cage for the 18650 cell and a small, oval body that sits in the palm of the hand. This sleek design may not have a large tank, but it’s easy to fill and easy to use.
That being said, the airflow vents are enormous, and the power output maximum is 75W, 50% higher than the original Reactor. That’s not all though. The resistance is also half of what the resistance is on the original device. At 0.25Ω, you’ll surely be chucking some nice clouds.
On the other hand, since the body of the battery is slightly smaller, the battery capacity is only 2,000mAh, and the tank holds a measly 2ml. Such is usually the case though when you’re dealing with smaller devices.
The coil head is made from nickel though, so unless you change your atomizer, you’ll have to use temperature mode on this mod to control the resistance. Note that the Reactor Shorty parts are not compatible with the standard Reactor tank mod.
This is just a fantastic little vape mod!
-Benji Hammonds
Halo Cigs Reactor Mini Box Mod Review
The Reactor Mini is about half the size of the original Reactor, but with a maximum power of 40W it reaches almost the same wattage output with the resistance level of 0.5Ω. The tank holds only half the amount of e-liquid as the original with a size of 2ml, and the battery is a 2600mAh cell. So, what you gain in convenience you give up in terms of capacity. Outfitted with bypass mode, temperature control, and stainless steel coil heads for TC or VW mode, this tiny mod can do just about anything.
Halo Cigs Reactor Mega Review
The Reactor Mega is Halo’s best box mod yet. It fires at up to 80W and has a stunning battery capacity of 5000mAh. The mod comes with a tank that holds 5ml of e-liquid. If you use the nickel coils included in the kit, they have a resistance of 0.15Ω, but the mod has memory settings for up to 10 different tanks.
The best thing about the Reactor Mega has to be the airflow. There is tons of airflow, and when you open it all the way, you can blow massive clouds. Lastly, you can purchase the mod in white, gray, bronze, or wood plating, and the entire thing is less than $100.
Halo Cigs Vaporizers’ Prices
Because Halo Cigs is an American company, their products are going to be more expensive than the Chinese-based discount vaping companies you’ll find all over online retail shops. That being said, I found that while the e-cigs and vape pens were slightly on the pricey side, the mods were reasonably priced.
Remember also that you’ll get what you pay for. With the highest standards of quality, Halo Cigs are worth the cost. Especially since the customer service team is so friendly and responsive, you’ll find that the slightly higher cost won’t bother you.
Other Products
Halo Cigs has their own line of apparel that you can wear proudly around town. You can purchase a black t-shirt with a gray silhouette of their logo on the front. You’ll also find a baseball cap, a woman’s tank top, and the occasional limited edition feature t-shirt.
All clothing is made of pre-shrunk cotton and is sold in sizes ranging from small all the way to double extra large. Let the world know you’re part of the vaping community with these stylish t-shirts, and show your Halo pride!
Halo Cigs Review Recap
Halo Cigs is a reliable, American company that offers its customers products of quality. Here at E-Cig Brands, we love Halo Cigs, and we are always excited to see what the company releases year after year.
