When I initially purchased the Halo-Go Table Top Gel Torch, I set my expectations low, primarily drawn by its affordability and the intriguing blue flame it promised. Described as a short-duration light source and the least expensive model in the tabletop torch lineup, I saw it as a low-risk trial into the world of tabletop torches.
Out of the box, the torch didn’t make a great first impression—it appeared exceedingly plain and unremarkable, almost to the point of disappointment. However, any initial skepticism was quickly dispelled once I assembled it and lit it up. This little torch transformed before my eyes, igniting a mesmerizing dance of blue and orange flames that seemed almost alive. The crackling sound it emitted added a delightful touch, enhancing the illusion of a real miniature campfire.
The visual spectacle of the blue flame, especially when accentuated by a gentle breeze, created a captivating display that far exceeded what one might expect from such an economical model. It was easy to lose track of time while watching the dynamic, vibrant flames swirl around in their glass enclosure.
Despite its humble beginnings, this torch proved to be a little gem, offering great value and a beautiful visual experience. The primary downside is the need for frequent purchases of gel fuel containers to sustain usage, especially during the summer months. This could add up, but given the enjoyment it provides, it seems a worthwhile indulgence.
Encouraged by the performance of this tabletop model, I am now keen to explore larger options within the range. For anyone considering a tabletop torch but hesitant about the investment, the Halo-Go Table Top Gel Torch is an excellent starting point. It’s a purchase you’re unlikely to regret—it turns out to be more than just a functional light source; it's a piece of interactive art.
The Halotorch Vortek Tiki Torch is a mesmerizing addition to any outdoor space, particularly enchanting for those who appreciate a dramatic flair in their garden or patio décor. These tiki torches, with their elegant design, are sure to be the centerpiece of any evening gathering.
Upon unboxing, I found the setup slightly challenging. The instructional YouTube videos seemed to be outdated, referencing a previous model, which added to the confusion. However, a quick email to Halotorch's customer support paved the way for a smoother assembly process. A shoutout to Junior from Halofire, who was exceedingly helpful and patient, making the setup hurdles manageable.
Once assembled, the torches transformed my outdoor area into a captivating spectacle, living up to their description they are show stoppers! The light and ambiance they provide are perfect for pool parties and summer evenings. I would strongly recommend investing in the protective covers they offer to safeguard your investment against the elements.
Although I purchased the citronella oil to enhance the torches' mosquito-repellent capabilities, it's a bit premature to comment on its effectiveness. However, I did notice that the oil tends to leave a residue of smoke on the glass, necessitating regular cleaning after each use. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall aesthetic and functionality make it a worthwhile trade-off.
Looking ahead, I'm so thrilled with these tiki torches that I'm considering expanding my collection with the larger Lotus LP torch from Halotorch. If you're looking for a product that brings both beauty and a touch of the exotic to your evenings, the Halotorch Vortek Tiki Torch is an excellent choice.
Absolutely love these! I was looking for something unique to put outside by the pool. If you are considering these at all I highly recommend that you get them!
We love your touches. They are a bit expensive but you get what you pay for. We were very happy to find you offer a less expensive option via blemished stock. Incidentally, blemished stock is hardly distinguishable from the pristine.
I order two post mount torch lights and they are exactly what they advertised. Super happy with them and the customer service
We absolutely love the Vortek Tiki Torch. We bought them to add lighting to our rose garden🌹 that we made for our daughter that we lost in 2021. The setting is so perfectly enchanting now. Thank you
We're sorry for your loss and glad we could help make your rose garden more special in memory of her!
I would recommend your product to others.
Thank you Walter appreciate it!
Dimple the base so it screws flat to any surface.
I have had mine over a year and use it all the time, in the house. I LOVE it.
Thank you Mary!
Only receive the base plate I thought there should be a pole with it did not receive a poll what's up with that
Kevin thanks for taking the time to let us know about your experience. The product page on our website clearly states that '(Pole comes with tiki torch NOT WITH STAND)'. If you need poles please contact us to assist and we'll make sure to help you out.
While I was initially disappointed when receiving the product as there were no instructions included and I had to look at YouTube videos to figure out how to safely use the product, this is an amazing product for ambiance and mood setting. The flame looks like it is in a vortex and I was pleasantly surprised by how long the fuel lasts although I think it is a little pricey. That said, I will be buying more torches in the future.
Thank you Peter! Sorry for the mishap we appreciate you letting us know. Next time you need fuel, hit us up so we can take care of you.
Burns nicely with the gel & can be used indoors. It can also be used with the other liquid fuels which HaloFire offers for outdoor use. Used the citronella oil in my garage while the garage door was opened.
Love the product and the flame is amazing. Just know it uses a lot of oil and burns it very quickly (thus the awesome flame)
We have owned numerous Vortek vortex torches for over a year and a half. They are extremely well made and we have enjoyed them many times at our home in Virginia. They are exactly as described on Armando's website, HaloFire, and we highly recommend these fun tiki torches and the excellent customer service.
It’s a little pricey but it’s the only smokeless oil I could find and it works great
I ordered 5 of the big revo vortex torches with the fence post mounts. They are awesome. Our backyard needed some fire and these produce. Very unique product! There were a few issues with the delivery, but JR resolved everything very quickly and took good care of me. Can’t wait for the pool to be open next summer with these torches blazin!
Have not used it yet it's a Christmas present for my daughter and son-in-law
Product and experience, top notch
Very different , everyone thinks they are cool looking
Thought they were bigger cans like 13 oz. It’s ok. Just have to save them for sternos at a catering event.
