The truth with menthol, or any flavor, is that in the early days of e-smoking a tobacco flavor based menthol is what suits most menthol smokers. As time goes on however, a good many of us tend to gravitate away from tobacco flavors, and prefer the menthol (or other) non-tobacco flavors.
I mention this so that you don't begin by purchasing large quantities of any flavor. Include samples where available, because truly tastes change as you move away from analogs. You do want to make sure to have enough liquid on hand so as you won't be tempted back to analogs because you ran out, but at the same time loading up on a "favorite" flavor at the beginning can end up being a waste of good money and supplies. A bit of a balancing act, but definitely worth the ride.
