My wife has doubted the ecig use, says she'd try it when she sees it works for me.. Well its been 3 days since I smoked a real cig and now she is entertaining the idea of one. However the few samples that I have had her try, she DID NOT enjoy. She is a menthol smoker, the thought of some of the fruits and pie flavors really turn her off (for now atleast) I need to find a menthol sampler pack for her. She is very selective, so I need to try an hit a homerun on the first swing... Where do you guys suggest I try ? I know nothing about menthol's, she smokes Doral menthol 100's fwiw....

Backwoods brew has a good menthol and you chose the menthol strength. If she's never vaped before you could always get small bottles of different mg strength and different amounts of menthol. You could always mix them together.

I got the light menthol for my neighbor and it tastes similiar to a menthol cig (tobacco + menthol). I have the high menthol and it's less of a tobacco taste and heavier on the menthol.

I vape nhalers nuport, but he also has 555 menthol, more of a tobacco/menthol.

You could always get a good tobacco juice and add menthol to it. Either a menthol juice or menthol crystals. I've never tried that, but I do like Vapor Bombs artic ice (no tobacco, just menthol) and add that to a lot of my juices.

I love menthol so these are my favorites I've tried over the years...

Halo... great menthol flavors available in three different menthols. They also sell smaller bottles. Their sample pack only has one of the regular menthols in it. E-liquid / Smoke Juice by Halo

Ecopure menthol is great... very clean and good flavor/vapor. I think Cignot still has it and you can get a sample size? https://www.cignot.com/category_s/36.htm

TastyVapor (one of my favorites) and they're very inexpensive when you consider getting the Doubler and the higher nic liquid and mixing yourself. Welcome to Tasty Vapor

Mentha by VaporTalk is probably one of my top favorites but he's out of stock (email him for availability) Vapor Talk Mentha E Liquid - Vapor Talk

If she wants a more tobacco like menthol, you can always mix more of one of your tobacco flavors into the menthol liquids or just buy menthol flavoring drops (no nicotine) to add to a tobacco liqiud
M-Drops from Avejuice, Juicy Liquid has drops, and Totally Wicked has concentrated flavorings.

I was a menthol smoker also but can't stand a plain menthol vape. What I have found to cut the menthol down to make it enjoyable for me, is a mixture of mint and menthol. Cold Creek by nitelitevapor.com. They are the only vendor that I buy my menthol/mint juice from. My problem with straight menthol is that it reminds me of Vick's Vapor Rub. With the mint added, it takes that flavor out and like I said, makes it enjoyable.

Maybe try a mint sampler for her. That way its close enough, but she wont expect the exact taste. Peppermint, creme de menthe, even cinnamon. When I smoked it was menthols too. These are the flavors I like. Also try mint choc. Ice cream. Its pretty good too. That would be baby step toward the other flavors :)

There are alot of menthols at Vapor Renu, but my favorite has been the Re(4)nu menthol. Honey Wood Menthol is good for a change up. The Vapor Room has 555 Menthol that tastes close to a Doral menthol. I started on that one when I started vaping and it was really close! I don't like the fruity or dessert flavors either, I keep going back to menthol. I also got Cotton Candy, to add a little "sweetness" when I need it and I might get some minty juice to add, it sounds really good! I also can't stand the "just menthol" flavors, tastes yucky and too much like Vick's to me too. Good luck!

I can relate... I'm actually not big on many of the flavors either. I think menthol flavors need to continue using menthol as a primary liquid, possibly mixing other flavors into that base menthol liquid if they feel like experimenting. Peach, pineapple, maybe coconut... Some of the simpler flavors, they mesh well with the menthol, and it makes transitioning easier.

I smoked American Spirit Menthols and Nat Sherman Classics - more "organic" cigs than the standard brands, and transitioned nicely to iVape.net's "Carolina Crush". I've tried other menthol tobacco mixes, and they've got more of a 'dirty' flavor to them... I don't mean that in a bad way, there are folks who like that actual harsh cig taste and want to start there when coming into e-cigs... I prefer the smoother menthol flavor from iVape. All his liquids seem to get top notch review if you look around. I will agree with all the people who pointed me in that direction right from the start.

Where would one might look for a discount code for TVR? Im gonna try them out, they seem to have the most selection for menthol flavors, not to mention 1st time users get a 15ml bottle free and to top it off they send out a 3ml bottle free with every order... sounds decent enough for 25 bux...


Never mind on the code, found a 10% off... :)

While you are hitting up sites for free samples, try the Vermillion River Minnesota Menthol. This is one NOT overpowering like a lot of the menthol's out there. It has a great combination of tobacco and menthol flavor. Even the tobacco portion has a complex flavor to it.

Key in FREESAMPLE in the coupon code. They will also give you a free 4.5ml sample with every purchase.

Thanks for the post - How WONDERFUL that a supplier would actually send out a "Free" sample - epsecially without ordering anything else . . . I actually just placed an order and the only cost was for shipping . . . Now - all I have to do is wait for the "Mail" to come . . . especially to see if I can finally get that "True" Menthol Taste I've been so desperately looking for . . .

Ex B&H menthol lights, Marlboro menthol lights, and Camel menthe smoker - I love menthol but have only found a few that I like (so far).

The menthol from Ecopure is very good, very clean, but not much like an analog to my tastebuds. Still would be worth ordering a sample.

I like Halo's Truepure, altho it's not quite as menthol/fresh as I like. Still, I would give the nod to Halo's juice as it's not sweet, has a nice clean flavor, and is a bit closer to an analog.

I just switched to the clear dual coil cartos on my eGo battery, and couldn't be happier. You can pick up the eGo batteries pretty cheap from goodprophets, and the cartos from madvapes. The cartos produce great flavor, TH, and vapor - I'm trying to convert my Newport-addicted housemate to make the switch to vaping on these :)
