I am a noob, but I have experimented with a lot of different things in a short period of time (11 days since my last analog!) I'm using a kr808-d but I also have a manual passthrough that I sometimes use with a 901 atty via the dripping method. Normally, I have been using the v4l premium cartos though. Anyways, I am really having some problems finding a good vape. I am a true menthol smoker. To give you an idea, I have smoked Camel Crushes since the day they came out and they are too strong of a menthol for most of the people I know. They were more "arctic" and cold than most menthols. I have tried v4l's cowboy menthol 24mg and it was meh, not a favorite. I just got Halo's menthol ice 24mg and while it was alright flavor, it's lacking in TH I think and just isn't getting it for me. The more I vape, the more my juices seem to taste artificial to me. I really NEED somethings soon or I feel like I'm going to pick up my smokes again, which I do NOT want to do. I want something with a good "hit" that packs a punch with a cool menthol. Something that let's me know, yes, you actually are taking in "smoke" right now. I think maybe what I might be missing is tobacco flavor? Not sure, I just want something as close to a camel crush as possible please!

BTW. I have a few different sample menthol products on the way from strictly e juice. Are any of these any good? What are some good mixtures?

*menthol
*menthol mania (super concentrate)
*menthol freeze
*strictly menthol (x2)

I have found that you will all of a sudden find a flavor that boom it hits you and this is the one. I have tried a ton and finally found mine and it wasn't an analog flavor and I tried them all. I think you will be surprised and it probably won't be a flavor that mimics an analog. I think you need to keep trying flavors till you find yours. Mine is Tasty Vapor Cinnacide for example. If you like fireballs you will love this. The reason I love this is it is very powerful TH and gives that fulfilled feeling that I could not get from any analog clone. There are many menthols out there but I think you will be surprised. I used to carry a lighter and a couple emergency analogs till I found this and was surprised it wasn't a true analog flavor. Again this is my experience but I have seen a bunch of people with similar experiences. Remember taste is subjective. If you still really have to have menthol taste I would try some of the top rated vendors here, FSUSA, Tasty Vapor ...... Hope this helps and don't give up you will find it. I did and I am not looking back in fact I enjoy this more than real smoking and I really enjoyed smoking.

I have tried a couple different "novelty" types of flavors and they are good, but I genuinely miss how a real cigarette tastes. Is there anyway to duplicate the taste? or am I missing it? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy vaping I just find myself missing the tobacconess of a cigarette. Thanks for the info though, I will definitely be tryin FSUSA soon since I've heard so many good things about it. I'm glad you found your sweet spot, I'm gonna keep trying I just figured someone else has had the same problem.

I think menthol is very hard to replicate, to me it seems a big part of the menthol experience is the burning tobacco.

I have menthol freeze from strictlyejuice....it's brutal lol. I was a menthol smoker and I seriously got brain freeze from it and felt it in my eyeballs. It's bleepin strong, I've been sticking a drop or 2 in with my tobacco juices when I fill a cart. It'll definitely give your throat a nice cool blast, it's not minty or anything it's just pure ice.

You might try Backwoods Brew's menthol. Don does a very good tobacco and his menthol comes in light, medium or strong. Keep in mind though that you will never find anything exactly like a cigarette because you can't replicate the taste of burning tobacco. Tobacco yes, burning no. You might also try expanding to mint flavors. I started with menthol but found that I very much prefer a semi sweet peppermint.

Awesome, I want it to kick me in the teeth lol. What kind of tobaccos do you use? I haven't actually been able to try any straight tobacco flavors but would like to get some for mixing the menthol with.

I have the wowvapor peppermint and it's really good, I just feel like it might be missing the smoky, heavy factor. I'm checking out Backwood's brew now though, thanks! =)

I agree with this. I have had a horrible time trying to put down the analogs in search of a juice strong enough. I was also a menthol smoker and felt nothing could replace that. Atomic Cinacide from Tasty Vapor hit the spot. The first time I tried it I was utterly amazed. It is the strongest, best-tasting, and most fulfilling juice I have ever had. I have never found a tobacco/menthol juice that could compare.

Oh, and I don't even like fireballs or Big Red gum.
