My wife works with a nice lady and they've become good friends over the years. She's a 30 year pad Salem smoker and she's very interested in vaping. She casually tried my wife's a couple times and wants to give it a go. I'm going to pay it forward and give her my cigalike kit to get her started. I have 2 auto batts, charger, blank cartos, but I don't have any menthol juice.

I figure she'll need 24mg for sure to start and I want to buy a couple small bottles of a menthol tobacco juice that's at least "close" to salems. And maybe an ry4 type menthol? I have no experience with menthol juice.

Suggestions?

Tell ya what.......I'm no menthol connoisseur, but I've tried a handful and the most satisfying and flavorful was Minnesota Menthol from Vermillion River. Sample sizes are available. This is the only one I've tried that was dead on tobacco without the overpowering cooling from a menthol. If I were a regular menthol vaper, this would be my ADV.
Another option some vendors offer is to add a touch of menthol to any of their regular flavors. Or you might get some hard core menthol to add to your other juices.

I used to be a PAD Newport smoker. I have tested a few and seem to find the Johnson Creek "Tundra 24mg" to have the best flavor and similar TH to the analogues.

I tried a few others including a local mix that was labeled "N-port" but ended up back with the JC juice for this particular flavor.

I'm also going to try the one listed above as I am always open to improvement!

Edit: just signed up at Vermillion river and ordered the free 4.5ml sample after creating an account. Just paid shipping. Only downside is that they ONLY offer the sample in 10mg formula. I guess if I think the flavor is good at 10mg, I'll order more at my usual 18mg.

Thanks guys. I'm picking up a small bottle of each. Juice is such a funny thing. People are as unique as fingerprints. Can't say the same for cigs. lol.

Getting off on the right foot is so important. I know if this lady really likes it she'll probably be adv'ing some butterscotch cream pie and chocolate covered skittles within weeks and forget all about chasing the dragon with flavors. But starting off with a satisfying strong tobacco seems to work best. It did for me and my wife.
