I have the Dragon also. Love it. Long slow easy drags, get plenty of vapor and throat hit.

I'm also a menthol smoker and have already tried a bunch so I might be able to help you there. I'm finding out that a lot of the menthol's people say are really good are tobacco based, and not near enough menthol for me. I want a good clean menthol and I found it at Vermont Vapor. And they have it in 35mg strength which I just ordered earlier today along with the 20mg that I've been using. Great menthol taste, Fresh and clean with lots of vapor and throat hit. I only got the 35mg to mix with the 20mg for something a bit stronger. For me, finding the right juice made soooo much of a difference. I'm still trying new ones. Heh, I also put in an order at myfreedomsmoke. Heard lots of good things and wanted to try em out. Custom mixed juice. Yes he has 48mg flavored juice there. He'll mix anything you want. And to top it off, MY FREEDOM SMOKES is having a really good sale right now. I couldn't pass it up. I ordered over 150ml of juice today between my freedom smoke, and Vermont vapor. I got the bug......and the myfreedomsmoke juice I got, is all extra flavored, so that will be between 25 and 30% more juice when I'm done cutting it!8-o It is ok to drink this stuff, right,..............right. :lol:

I guess I'm saying don't be afraid to try different juice. When you find The One, you'll know it. If you're lucky, you'll also find a few close runner ups. But finding a flavor you really like and enjoy is huge.

Zukori, have you used the 36mg as is? What's that like? As of right now, the only strength I've tried is the 18mg

Sure have, actually that's what I'm puffing on now... I like it quite a bit, it's a little different to describe though. It's got a certain kind of sweetness. My brother on the other hand thinks it's awful, though he is still doing about a half a pack of smokes a day(something which I can't even do anymore). Trying to describe it... Maybe like a cigarette without any unpleasantness. Sorta reminds me of the camel carts I got with my passthrough at litecig... but not so much. Well I'm sure that was entirely useless information. Hope something semi intelligent could be extracted from it.

I'm not really seeing any adverse effect from the increase in nic either, but that's just me. I started on 24mg after doing ~2 packs of marlboro red 100s a day

Actually that was helpful :)
I smoked 1 3/4 - 2 packs of menthol lights a day; I purchased 2 packs a day, my last 2 packs being purchased the day before I got my Dragon. It's now 3 days later and I still have a couple regular cigs left (highly unusual for me) - I've only been smoking those because I miss my menthol (menthol juice will be here tomorrow, yay!) You're right...they are hard to handle, the taste, the "heaviness", the smell...But those will be the last analogues I ever buy!

Isn't it?

Now get you some flavorings and start playing! That is *really* fun.

Yeah, I'm having a blast, funny how I can get such a kick out of this! I have Vanilla (adore it!) and Ice Cream (sent by mistake but not too bad, as it turns out), and some Bavarian Cream, menthol, and unflavored on the way. Next I want to try the almond and the coffee :D so many choices!! Try doing that with analogues!

I just purchased a Dragon M401, and although I like it a lot, now I'm looking for something that's smoother on the draw, has a bit more power (not sure what I mean by that even...stronger?), and is not too problematic. I'd love to try a pen style maybe, if it's automatic, all the better, or perhaps the infamous 510. Recommendations are very welcome, but here's my main question - seeing as I just purchased the Dragon M401, I'd like to find something that's compatible with the charger that was included with the kit I purchased, so I don't need to keep buying a whole new kit for every style I'd like to try. Any suggestions?

If you want to try the 510, you can get the kit from Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store. for $35 with no box and $5 shipping. I just got one, and it is great.

Sounds yummy - I was actually considering getting that as well.

I was never a mint fan before. But to try to increase the hit, I tried some. I didn't care for the Peppermint or Wintergreen, but the Creme de Menthe turned out to be very pleasant and smooth. I bought all they had at the Cake supply store.

The deal for Cignot is probably the cheapest I've seen in the USA. The 4081 parts can be found here Heaven-gifts.com Ruyandirect.com Best E-smoking Shop .... Another good company is Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail .... Home - Rocky Mountain Vapor you have reached the mountain top of electronic cigarettes! has free shipping for over $14 and they sell 50ml bottles. If you want to order in bulk, the first two are the best that I've found.. Plus I love how HealthCabin gives 6 months warranty on their atomizers and batteries.

Such amazing deals!! I have so many windows open at once, trying to look at everything :p I really like the idea of the 6 month warranty, so I think maybe I'll check this site out more first :)

I can just imagine you walking into the cake supply outlet, stopping in the center of the store, and saying in a loud voice. "Give me ALL the Creme de Menthe flavoring you have......NOW, before someone gets hurt!" 8-o
 
The creme de menthe is wonderful!

I like the blackberry, too. I didn't really think I would, though--so don't be afraid to try all the flavors that even sound remotely interesting:)

I keep a little bottle with "mistake juice" in it. If I experiment with really small batches, I only have tiny amounts of leftover stuff you don't care for. When I accumulate a decent amount (enough to hold the strong taste of the menthol drops) I just add the drops and it tastes just fine--and no waste! (yes, I *am* cheap...sometimes)

Rum and whisky are good flavors to vape, too. They have a very nice throat hit. Not sure where to get whisky flavoring, or if I can just use whisky itself for the flavoring (maybe that has been addressed in the recipes folder?). Lorann's had rum bakery emulsion, but no rum flavoring that I could find. So I ordered the emulsion and will see if that works. (If not, guess I will be making sober rum cakes for Christmas:rolleyes:)

Caramel and just a drop of honey or cotton candy flavoring in tobacco-flavored juice makes an acceptable imitation of RY4. I am wondering if peanut butter in tobacco juice would make something like 555? I like 555, but it seems difficult to find, for some reason.

Wow, that's an amazing price, thank you! Think I'll go check it out :p

My niece ordered her 510 kit on Thursday (9/3) and it arrived today (Saturday, 9/5)...definitely good service and great prices. She got the $65.00 kit because it also included the PCC and two sample size bottles of juice.

BTW, she got the purple PCC, which is a magenta purple. I have the blue PCC, which I think looks more like purple until you put it side-by-side the purple. The blue looks more blue then.
