I definitely prefer a menthol vape to a menthol cig. Had to smoke a Salem the other day because I ran out of batt power and it just wasn't the same. Funny but menthol vaping is like when I first found menthol cigs as far as as the menthol taste. As far as my nicotine addiction, it has diminished quite a bit (used to smoke and dip at the same time plus sleep with a dip in my mouth (gross I know)) Now I just vape alot but I can go several hours and, yes, all night long without any nicotine. The only thing is, when my batts run out, the panic is still there just like before. The major problem is there is no quick way to get back to vaping if you let this happen so I actually have to plan which is just hilarious to me.
