    Any previous non-menthol analog smokers dabble in menthol-ish juices now?

    As a smoker I never did care for menthol. But wondering if a mentholated vape here and there would help shake things up.
    Just curious others in experiences


    I hated menthol's when I used to smoke death sticks.... bump to someone else.....

    I used to smoke a lot of menthol's for about a month then back to my reds. all the menthol juices I have tried are just wayyyy to minty and do not feel the same. If you like a strong flavor that sticks, go for it. I also had to replace my coils after since it just would not come out. This is all just my experience and each to his own is different. There are also Vape stores online that sell menthol crystals if you care to dab around on your own.

    I always was a Camel Blue guy but recently VapeWild sent out a mystery flavor that wound up being Cowboy Cooler and I'm hooked on it. I also got their Blackberry Breeze and Blueberry Blizzard, both are just as good. Its kind of like a cough drop sensation almost, delicious fruit flavor with a hint of cooling - but not overpowering. Menthol analogs - no. Menthol+fruit e-liquid - yes. I like my dessert vapes but sometimes if my throat gets sore or just want a change up its a nice addition to my repertoire of juices.

    I was all about menthol when I was smoking. My favorite cigarettes were Marlboro 54's (now renamed "Marlboro Rich Blues"). They didn't have that "cooling" menthol as much as that "throat hit" menthol.

    The only reason I don't vape menthol juice is because all the ones I've encountered have that "throat cooling" effect, whereas what I'm looking for is the "throat burn" menthol effect. I can't stand the "cooling" effect, which is all I've ever been able to find in menthol juices.. If someone has recommendations..?

    Halo Subzero I tried one time and just about floored me with its throat hit, might try a sample of that to see how it works for you.

    SubZero and Malibu at 24mg are in my tanks every day ...

    One advantage for stealth vapers is that menthol juices leave very little aroma. If someone with a bloodhound nose does notice the faint trace of mint, I tell them its a cough drop, and offer them one ... :D

    A bit of subtle misdirection, but I'm weary of the declarations that vaping is responsible for global warming ... :rolleyes:

    My daughter was never a menthol smoker when we used cigarettes.

    After we had made a few test orders from Mt. Baker Vapor, I told her I was tired of trying to guess what flavors might appeal to her, and advised that if she did not look at the site and give me an order, I was not going to get her any eliquid (the vape budget, for the most part, comes out of my disposable income). She picked a few flavors, including Hawk Sauce (something I would never have ordered for her based on the description and reviews on the website if she had not requested it) because she liked the name. Although, in theory, it does not have any menthol, it does give the impression of a menthol/fruit mix eliquid.

    She loved it after the first few puffs. While we were using cigalikes, Hawk Sauce was her go to eliquid for times when stress was getting to her. Since we started using Evods, however, she has not gotten the same satisfaction. We recently started using the Kanger dual coils with our Evod Glass clearos, rather than the Kanger single coils that we had been using since we switched from cigalikes to the Evods. She is going to try Hawk Sauce again with the dual coils, and try to figure out what she is missing since we switched.

    I am more than willing to potentially waste a few bucks playing around with extra flavor, changing the pg/vg ratios, etc., to see if we can get her back to what used to be her go to flavor for times when things feel they are getting to be a bit much for her.

    I really hate mint style juices. With that said, now that I'm suffering through my first battle of vape tongue, I have a juice called boken that is like a tropical/mint flavor. It was given to me. Normally I hate it, but since I can't taste any other juice right now, I have been using it up.

    Since I can bairly taste anything anyways right now, it isn't so bad. But mint/menthe is definitely not my juice.
