Help me with my Xmas shopping for a friend

[John Phoenix]

I am giving a friend use of my two 3.7 Riva 2.0 ohm batteries and charger (750 mah), 8 oz of PG, 8 oz of VG and a bottle of 60% mg nicotine juice for DIY mixing.

I am going to buy her some cartomizers to go with it ( cus they are cheaper than cartridges and I think they are better anyway) and also I need some menthol juice or crystals.

I do not do menthol so I have no idea how to buy menthol for DIY. Please advise.

I see that Mad Vapes no longer caries a cartomizer in 2.0 ohm. The closest I can get her is 1.7 ohm, which I have never tried.. I cannot help her with it if it's too hot for her. I'm thinking this may be closer to my 5 v experience because it's LR and thats a plus but I just don't know.. ( she saw me use the 5 v mod and likes to see clouds of vape like that) Please advise as I have only ever used 2.0 ohm's with the Riva's.

We are going all DIY for her because she has no idea what nic strength she would like or how strong the TH needs to be. I figured since I do DIY only, I could teach her and she can learn to adjust these things as she likes. Also she's on a tight budget so if she can get used to the DIY method she'll be more apt to stick with it.

You can get menthol crystals and dissolve them in pg or alchy, or buy them already dissolved in pg off a website like RAWRvapor or vaporcaststore.

The 1.7ohm cartos work beautifully at 3.7 volts btw

I got a free sample of menthol drops from bluemist vaper, I'm not a menthol user but I tried it and it did remind me of my husbands nasty kools BlueMist Vaping Supplies or you could go the crystal rout

My LR is 1.7 ohms--eGo tank. Works great with an eGo 640 mah battery.Or Riva. Much better than standard resistance.

As they said above add some menthol drops. I use about 15 drops per 30 ML. Start with maybe 10 drops and if it not strong enough add some more. ( But this could also depend on how strong the drops are.) I bought mine at Juicy Liquid. 7 ml for $4, and this lasts me months !

I avoid crystals because I then loose my strength calibration. (How big is the crystal, etc.)

Good answers all, thanks folks that does help me choose. I'll look into the liquid menthol because it will be one less thing she would have to fight with. I'll get her the 1.7 XL Bauway clear cartos from mad vapes.

Anyone try the menthol Extract from mad vapes? http://www.madvapes.com/10-ml-Menthol-Flavor-Extract_p_3002.html

If this would work, I'd save money cus i'm already getting stuff from MV.

Ouch I have another problem

The nicotine I needed to buy is out of stock. I was going to get a 60 mg 60 ml bottle of nic in PG for 7 bucks from void mist. Since I cannot get her the nicotine I either need another source at a good price OR I need to find menthol juice in 24 mg ( she tried 18mg and didn't like it)

I have done a google search and it's hard to find at goog prices. RTS vapers have some but only VG based which is no good. As for the menthol e-juice most have small 10 ml bottles if in stock.. that would not last her a week..
