Hello all! (menthol question here)

[emoti0n]

First off, let me introduce myself. Name is Tom. I would take this question to another forum, but I just joined. w00t! However, my access is restricted to here for the first 5 post. I'll probably be sticking around with all my new question, as I plan to begin DIY eliquid sometime soon. I'm not quite there yet though, so this is an unrelated DIY question.

So my girlfriend and I have been vaping for a few months now. When we smoked analogs (she still does from time to time), I smoked Marlboro Lights and she smoked Newport Medium 100's. I personally haven't come across a flavor that I can't vape. Of course I like some more then others, but over all...they're all doable too me. Her on the other hand is unable to find a suitable menthol flavor. From what I've read and heard from other vapors, this isn't uncommon. She's tried multiple menthol eliquids, but complains that none of them actually have a "cigarette type menthol flavor." It's more of a Mint type flavor. I understand that the same flavor can change taste depending on the atty, voltage, and even depending on who's actually vaping it. A flavor that taste like apples to me, may taste like oranges to someone else.

Basically I would just like to get other peoples opinions on different brands / manufacturers that may have nailed the menthol cigarette taste. Something that we can order her, that she may enjoy much more.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Tom

I really really like Slims Menthol E-Liquid - MyFreedomSmokes.com

In fact it is the only juice I purchase now. I DIY the rest. This one just satisfy that need for something as close as possible to what I used to smoke first thing in the morning.

Fair warning the menthol flavor DOES get stronger with steeping.

Dekang kool is a good menthol, haven't had a chance to try any others gl.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the brand you used to smoke? Just wondering how close it would be to hers.

Hi Emotion.
There is no e-liquid that will match the flavor of burning paper and plant materials.
I had been in the same chase as you for a very long time. Here is the problem as I find it. Tobacco flavors do not combine well with just menthol. There is always a fairly odd flavor when the two are directly combined. I have tried a few that where better than others. When I was purchasing liquids I preferred the hangsen menthol. I probably used well over a liter of that liquid when I was purchasing premade liquid. It has all the basic flavors associated with a menthol cigarette. I have long since jumped ship from searching for that type of flavor, but my all day vape is a peppermint menthol which I make for myself.

I have smoked her brand and to me it always tasted like a slightly stronger version of the Marlboro Menthols I smoked.

I would think that most menthols are simular. It is one of the easier flavors, Now ask me who makes the best apple pie!

Welcome Tom.

The Vapor's Knoll has an MY4 (menthol RY4) which reminded me of the Mavericks I used to smoke. And I only switched to Mavericks because it tasted similar to Newports, and they cost $2.00 less.

Good luck.

Extreme ice from mt. baker vapor is an excellent menthol. It packs a punch but it doesn't give any other flavors other than a cool menthol. Prices start at $5 for 15mls which is about the best pricing you can find online.

Now I am not saying it tastes like a Newport, but both my wife and I think it has a definite mentholy cigarette similarity.

 

[Chimney34]

I smoked newports as well. The menthol that helped me kick the habit was called Newpark from Vapesales.com.

I get the straight up menthol from mtbakervapor and add it to peach.... I gave up on looking for the perfect menthol, and this method works wonders for me. I get my peach from allaboutvapor.com.

Very valid point. I kind of put her down gently with somewhat of the same response.

Awesome. You guys have definitely got me pointed in good direction I feel. Some of you mentioned even mixing a different flavor with a menthol taste. I was kind of thinking that might be the way to go for her....something refreshing, with a cool menthol taste behind it. But I think first I'll be on the lookout for the menthol brands you guys have mentioned, and if that doesn't fill that void in her life - then we'll start the mixing of the flavors.

Thank you everyone!

I have about 50 fifty menthols at my house when I was looking. My all day vape for months now is Mr. ELiquid full menthol at 18mg mixed with a little Vapor God regular menthol 18 mg and that is it for me for several months now. I found it. I smoked VA Slims full flavor menthol for more years than I can count. This set up is very good. When I get bored with it I drop a few drops of other flavors I like, such as Krankberry from Fuzion. That makes it a fruity menthol. Good stuff.

easyvapors.com makes two...one is called jackfrost and the other trucig menthol. the first has more of a minty taste the trucig is a more natural menthol { whatever that means } i find a mixture of the two 50/50 is quite nice and i am an ex-newport smoker...not to mention there prices are quite nice as well...around $15 for a 30ml PLUS 30% for new customers so thats like just over $10 for a 30ml bottle

I had the same issue with wife. I bought the menthol Ice and start mixing it in different juices until I found one she likes. Now she vapes Irish Cream with Ice Menthol 50/50 and she's happy.

Hi Tom and welcome to ECF and congrats
What I did was find a tobacco that I liked and ordered some menthol drops and added them to my tobacco. Can also order menthol crystals and mix your own. Be forewarned menthol drops and crystals are VERY strong.
