Well, Got my 510 last night... Started up. This might be good.. Didn't just up and stop the analogs like some do... I've been a smoker for years. It just doesn't have the same kick as analog. Now I know I can get close to what I'm wanting... that is a juice that after I vap a while I won't feel the need for an analog... So for the menthol analog folks.... What types of juice did you find to be the most satisfying? When I got my 510 I got 4 small samples to try. 2 menthol..VG & PG.. some 555 (unimpressed) and some Chocolate cream..(not bad)... Any suggestions?

Nhaler has both a menthol 555 and a super menthol flavor, he also has a good nuport flavor if that is what you smoked. He also has a lot of other flavors and does sell sample sizes (6 ml)
Well, my post probably wasnt clear... 
I have the 555 and did NOT like it... have 2 different menthol's, there OK. But I guess I'm really looking for something with really strong flavor. Wondering if some of the fruit or candy juice gave that.

if you want something that really tastes like menthol, not peppermint or spearmint, jason at electronicstix has the closest i've ever tasted
CEH, I've been on a mission for a Newport replacement for a while and I've come to the conclusion that you really can't duplicate the real thing. For me it's just been like switching brands, eventually you get used to it.
After vaping for a while, cigarettes taste like crap and you'll prefer vaping. Fwiw, I've found nhalers Nuport flavor to be the most satisfying for me. But even more so, I've found other flavors that I like more that don't even taste like a real cigarette.

I like nhaler's hv black raspberries and cream and hv blueberry crumble, both are strong flavors.
Loads of info! Thanks... I'm sure I'll find something to satisfy my itch! Strong flavor is what I'm looking for. Guess the cheapest route is to order a sample pack from one of the vendors first.
Also something to keep in mind...
Once you drop the anaolgs altogether, your sense of taste will come back. So juices that dont taste very strong right now might carry quite a kick a few weeks after you've quit anaolgs.
Or so I've read. I'm still new to all of this too.

I can't tell you for sure because I never smoked menthols. I used to smoke black and mild cigars because of the kick. I know that from all that I have tried of all the manufacturers the one I like the best is puresmokers menthol. It's pretty much the best stuff there is and gives quite a kick. But it is hard to come by because when it comes in stock it goes out fast. Electronic Ashes stuff isn't too bad either. Anyways hope it helps and good luck to you!

As Turbo mentioned, menthol drops may be what you need. They are cheap and easy to make and allow you to taylor your menthol flavor to your liking.
It depends on what kind of menthol you like. For me, most of the menthols taste like an unlit cigarette-very mentholly, no tobacco taste. Nuport was about the best, more of a menthol/tobacco. But now I LOVE cappachino, hated the fruit flavors, and could care less about any mint or menthol flavors. next week I will probably have a new fav, oops, got to stop ordering new juices or I will not be saving any money!

If you want strong flavors, MyFreedomSmokes and DIYFlavorShack offer double-strength flavors (MFS has double strength up to 48mg), and you can either vape them straight or cut them to your liking. I just got some double-flavor Cinnamon Roll from MFS and it's awesome (especially when cut to 2/3 with VG and with a little Cinnamon added to make it more Cinnamon-y and less sugary) -- I feel like vaping it all day, although I just switched to the other MFS flavor I ordered, double-flavor Mint (cut in half with VG) and so far I'm really liking it as well.
I'm a noob here, but I have read on this forum that the best, cheapest, and strongest menthol juice is home-made from easy-to-get pure menthol crystals. Grind them into powder, add a SMALL amount to your juice, and swirl it around to fully dissolve the crystals. You should search for that with the forum search and read up on it, because I've never done it.
Also, the strength of the flavor is in large part dependent on learning good vaping technique. I'm still working on that.
Here's something else to think about:
I'm a menthol smoker (used to smoke about 3 packs of Kool Filter Kings per day). I've been using the Johnson Creek menthol, (NOT mint) and it's pretty strong. I read on the forum that mixing a little Vanilla into the Menthol gives a better "throat hit", so I ordered a little with my first juice order. Here's what really surprised me: I freakin' LOVE the Vanilla! I can't wait until I get my next order. I'll probably mix a little Menthol into my Vanilla!!! My point is that you shouldn't be afraid to try some of the stuff you don't think you're going to like. You may find that the Menthol isn't as important to you as it used to be.
Oh, and BriDog67 is spot on: Regular cigarettes will start to taste like dry, burning trash once you get used to the vape. I've gone from 3 packs a day to about 5 or 10. I have no idea why I keep wanting them, they're awful.

I would like some advise on this same topic. I have tried a lot of different 'menthol' flavors, only to find they are just mint. I don't understand why ppl selling the flavors don't get the difference between menthol and mint.
To me, menthol is like the fumes that come from something like Vick's Vapo rub or IcyHot, or Flexal, etc. It's not just a flavor but a 'fume' (if that makes any sense??)
I have found 1 of dozens tried (and that's Vermont Vapor's cool raspberry) that actually has that 'clear your sinuses', vick's fumes, type of menthol hit.
Does anyone know of any others? (and don't say TW's menthol, or NH Nuport, or 555 Menthol, or JC arctic menthol, etc. Those are all just 'mint' )

I've tried ALOT of menthols I recently received cool rush by liquidexpress My biggest complaint about any juice is after a little bit of time vaping the flavor diminishes Cool rush stays wonderful, it's menthol with a cool rush throat hit Ordered 2 30ml I am a liquid wh*re8-o And yes, as your taste buds return, flavors will change for you

Making your own real menthol is easy. Just like what comes in analogs. Mint is 75% menthol and just doesnt get it for a true menthol lover.
I use 1/4tsp of crushed menthol crystals added to 10ml of PG, Everclear or VG will work.
(They will not dissolve in water, barely, more if heated, but reform when cooled.)
3-5sec in the microwave to warm and u r done.
1-2 drops per ml im e liquid is strong. You may like 1 drop , maybe 3. 5 would be like a Vicks cough drop. You can get the crystals 4oz off ebay.....they crush very easy.
Then just tune your liquid to your liking. 4oz of crystals isn't much costwise....$10 or less and should last you about 5 yrs lol
