In regards to this thread I started one year ago:
Shelf Life

I received SO MUCH help and advice a year ago in regards to stocking up, and what to stock up on for external battery mods for when my small stash of EVODs run out. Its a long thread, but so full of valuable information. I have been back to it numerous times in the past year to re-read and make sure I knew what I was doing when this day came!

I have been mixing my own juice for a while now and that is going good. easy peezy. Still trying to get the menthol flavor just right though. It is still a bit too weak on the menthol but its getting very close. I keep ordering different brands to try out.

I finished purchasing the last few items I needed (batteries and battery chargers) and then just waited for my EVODs to start running low.

I am still very nervous about advancing to using rechargeable 18650 batteries, but today I put one in an Aspire CF Mod with a Nautilus 2 tank and started using it. Love it! I have a couple months worth of the Evods left still, but I am going to start using the CF mod away from home. I am hoping I can get a full day out of it. I am so tired of having to carry so many Evod batteries to get through the day, and to have to charge a minimum of 3 Evod batteries each day! By the time I get home from work I have 2-3 dead batts to plug in and charge! And by then I have only vaped during the drive to/from work and on my 3 breaks! So I will only use those at home now until their used up and take the CF on the go.

Thank you again to everyone that contributed with the fabulous information in that thread and held my hand as I stumbled along :)

Glad you got it sorted out. There are probably a lot of folks out there who missed the boat.

Don't know what you want from menthol but the one I always used is TFA Creme De Menthe. It's the only flavor I've used non-stop since I started mixing. If you haven't tried it yet it might be worth a shot.

I'll check it out. Thanks! I like to really feel/taste the menthol. And so far it's just barely there.

I've been using menthol in the majority of my juices for eight years at least. I use crystals like these. I drop some into a 100 mg glass bottle, add PG to cover them and let them dissolve. Goes faster if you shake the bottle a bit. I always get USP grade. I make my menthol base strong enough so anything over about 2% is strong. Very cost effective too :)
