Kringle’s Curse – A Spinfuel Choice Award Winner for 2015 – A big burst of peppermint in every drag, this e-liquid is now just as flavorful, but more gentle in this High VG formula. Sweet candy cane goodness in vapor form.
Julia: 5 Stars – Take a sweet peppermint eliquid, calm it down with more VG and the end result is a new twist on an old favorite. Kringle’s Curse was, when first released, a powerful beyond reason peppermint flavor. Not menthol. Just peppermint. Cool breeze on the inhale, cold breeze on the exhale. But sweet, like peppermint. It’s still the same, only better. Calmer. Gentler. If you like peppermint, Kringle’s Curse is now ready to perform.
Kiera: 5 Stars – I so looked forward to trying all of Halo’s lineup in their High VG formulas, but this one in particular. When I first vaped Kringle’s Curse it was a hair’s breath too powerful for me. But that sweet peppermint profile kept me wanting more. For the longest time I had a love/hate relationship with it. I could vape it for a bit and loved it, but after a while I just couldn’t take it. A couple days later I was back at it.
The High VG version allows me to spend as much time with it as I want without getting burned out. There is still all the flavor of the original, and the cool breeze going both ways, but its not nearly as rough on my throat. For a “sweet” peppermint treat, Kringles’ Curse is a must.

Tom: 5 Stars – While I enjoy sweet peppermint and the way Halo presents it here, I don’t find myself vaping it very often. That shouldn’t play a role in my scoring however, because as an eliquid Kringle’s Curse is a super premium juice with all the right ingredients. I can’t tell you its in my rotation, but if I have, on occasion, the desire to swing by Julia’s for a couple of tanks full, I can. Just not often.
Jason: 5 Stars – We all have our personal favorites. Kringles Curse is not one of mine. Peppermint is fine and all, but its not something I vape often enough to want to buy. Give me a deep tobacco or coffee blend anytime. But, like the others, I have to admit that Kringles’ Curse, as a high VG blend, is going to be a very popular vape for people that enjoy the flavor of peppermint. Kringle’s is a sweet peppermint, and with the high VG it is also a richer, thicker peppermint that will please the peppermint candy fans out there. If you vape, and if you can’t wait to snatch a peppermint candy cane from the Christmas tree pick up a bottle of Kringle’s Curse. Instead of crunching down on the candy cane you’ll at least breathe in the same flavor. Plus, you won’t sugar coat your teeth, always a plus in my book.
Conclusion
Creating a High VG blend of Halo’s older lineup was inevitable and grand. The best flavors got even better, and the not-so-great flavors were much better off with more VG. Flavors are smoother, fuller, with soft throat hits and tons of vapor.
These flavors were so enjoyable to vape as a team that we became regular customers of Halo eCigs again. Of course we each had our favorites, Kiera and I loved Malibu most, and Tom and Jason loved Turkish Tobacco and Black Calico. We were split with the famous Tribeca and Kringle’s Curse, with Kiera finding Tribeca a bit boring, but it is a staple for tens of thousands of vapers, and a great eliquid for new vapers wanting to see just how good it can be. But one thing is undeniable; with the advent of more and more high wattage devices and lower and lower resistances, these eliquids are primed to go.
We will have more Halo Cigs eliquids, and some new vape gear reviews coming up shortly… so stay tuned.
