My wife and I prefers a light tobacco. I like a Salem Menthol in place of an after dinner mint.
Those sound like good choices. The e-liquids I got are their version of usa mix, winston, and newport (all in peg). The winston and mbclassic are unbelievably great, at least one of the two (maybe both) are even scarily great. I got them not too long ago (100ml each), and I still haven't been able to decide exactly which one is better of these two. I'm almost sure it's Winston, I keep changing flavors so much, but it's likely their Winston PEG.
The newport is not that great. The menthol is way too mild, almost like the vg menthols from other places, and maybe even milder. Hopefully I'l find a good menthol soon.

What's the flavor on that like, br? Any trace of "perfume"?
I'm an old salem lights smoker myself and I've been stuck on TV tobacco/menthol for months now.
I was an old Salem Light smoker too, but it was several years ago. This is not my #1 vape, so I have not given much thought to the taste. I have been using it with an old type carto and about all I'll say is that the menthol may be strong enough cover up a perfume taste. Maybe I ought to try it in an E2.
I filled an E2 with Salem menthol. This E2 has never been used (my last). In order to bring out the best possible taste, I tailpiped it without the filler ring at 3 volts. The first thing that hit me was the menthol - stronger than ever before. My mind is tuned to perfume and maybe I taste some there. But then, maybe it is just my imagination.
You might try soaking the carto in warm water for a few minutes. This might losen up the glue on the inner cap.
The inner cap on the first one pop right out with little effort. It also slides back in with no probles either.
The second on I tried I had to give it a hard constant pull to get it out. I'm using a dental pick theat the sharp point has been filed off. It reminded me of removing the mouth piece from a hard tip regular carto.
Why? Pulling out a capl and putting it back in doesn't seem like rocket science.
The person who sent me these E2 cartos told me that the refilling was such a hassle using a syringe that she probably wouldn't conside buying them again.
But after I told her about removing the inner cap, she PM-ed me and said it worked great and was refilling just like a regular carto.
And BTW. If you don't remove the inner cap. How does a person dry out these E2 cartos after washing?
And don't tell me you do a dry burn with the inner seal in place?
I'm thinking that a case of these things may last me for the rest of my life. But then, I may not live long enough for the XL's to get here, heheh.
What kind of Juice are you using? Do you wash the cartos out or do dry burns or both?
Vapor bomb, and MFS kona coffee, and Tiramisu.
I soak in hot water about 5 min and dry burn, then brush off the ash. About every 2-3 days.
I'm only going to use this one till it dies to see how long it will last.
Does the carto start to taste funky after 3 days or do you do the dry burn as part of a normal cleaning cycle?
I ask all this stuff because I only have 3 cartos to test and don't want to hose them up.
It's been 4 refills on one of them, about 3 days and I smells like it is taking on a funky smell.
You are doing a worthwhile test. I am as anxious as you are to know how long it will last.
It does seem to get a harsh almost burnt taste. That's when I clean.
I think the darker liquid builds up on the coil faster. You can see a "lump" around the coil when I clean them. It is hard and crusty before the dry burn then turns to ash that can be brushed away. I use a dentek brush (pic in an above post)

I'm trying to do my part.
I know nothing about all of the technical stuff, so I'm relying on you guys for all that stuff.
