Thank you to all the veterans here who gave me advice during my research period. I have been analog-free and vaping since Saturday, June 25. I am still on the hunt for the perfect juice for me... but thanks to your tips, it's been a successful venture so far. I ended up ordering the Inferno (tank/drip combo for $15 more) and it was money well spent. I wanted this to work for me so I ordered all kinds of things I probably didn't really need, but wanted to have just in case (e.g. o-rings, etc.) I was a Marlboro Menthol smoker, so for my all-day vape, the best I've found so far is a mixture of FSUSA's Menthol Ultra (70/30 mix with 30mg's of nicotine) and Menthol Burst (16mg) which I ordered along with my Inferno from Volcano. I prefer the tank-o-mizer method for my daily routine and usually mix about 2 parts Menthol Ultra & 1 part Menthol Burst. The taste/feel combination is acceptable, but not ideal... but working with what I have, it works the best for me at this point. I had read very good things about the Halo Menthol juices and ordered all 4 (Malibu, Coolmist, Truepure & Menthol Ice) in 5ml sample sizes. I don't think they have enough of a menthol taste right now, but have heard that steeping is necessary so I am going to let them sit in my closet for a while before making my final decision about them. I am very loyal by nature and would really like to find a brand/flavor that I can just go with on a consistent basis, I also don't mind paying for a quality product so I would really like to devote myself to Halo. I have also considered getting menthol crystals or concentrate to add to the Halo juices to get a little more oomph out of them. I am curious to hear people's opinions and experiences with the menthol crystals and concentrates. I have read some posts about them but haven't seen enough to form an opinion at this point. Does the flavor of the juice stay pretty much the same and they just add the coolness of menthol? Anyway, I'm rambling at this point... but I can get 4oz of "certified-organic" menthol crystals here Miscellaneous Bulk Ingredients from Mountain Rose Herbs for $10... I will not order anything I'm going to be ingesting from eBay. Anyway... thanks in advance for the help. You all 'effing rock. I can't thank you all enough for the advice and support... :vapor:

This is great news! Congratulations. YOU did it :)

From your post it's evident that you did a lot of research. Good for you. Happy to hear you're satisfied with your choices.

Better safe than sorry with the extra supplies. You can trade or sell the items you won't need in the classified section. I'm with you on buying ingestibles on eBay. Scary. I have no menthol Tips to share - never used it. Wanted to say congrats to you. Stories like yours never stop amazing me. Thanks for sharing it.

I use menthol concentrate drops in place of crystals, a little will go a long way and they are just crystals dissolved in PGA or PG. My favorite menthol juice is DIY, just plain unflavored nicotine juice with menthol drops to taste, (a very small addition of a tobacco flavor pre-mix for variety or sometimes lemon or anise to taste)
 
Congratulations and welcome to the club!

If you really want a strong menthol flavor, might I recommend Dekang Kool Liquid. (Kool Liquid)
It's one of the first flavors I tried when going digital and I personally find it a bit over the top in the flavor department, you might find it just right for you.

I purchased a bottle of Backwoods Brew Menthol Light and found the menthol to be completely underwhelming but when I added a little bit of the Dekang, I find it suits me perfectly
