My wife smoked Marlboro Menthol full flavored kings for years, and is having a hard time finding something similar to vape. Sweet-Vapes has several different menthol flavors, I'm thinking of ordering from them, but open to any alternatives also. Anybody have any suggestions?



MyFreedomSmokes has some great tobacco just like Marlboro- they have menthol, also, so you may ck there. Great customer service, also.

I smoked Marl light menthol, and found that my favorite juices are peppermint, and just a plain menthol with no tobacco taste. The peppermint is a bit sweeter, but still has the mintiness that I am accustomed to. re

Somewhere in the general smoking discussion, I have a thread about finding a liquid for my husband (newport smoker). There were lots of excellent recommendations on there that you may find helpful. It's probably about 4-5 pages back. I'll see if I can dig it up for you.
 
It is so tough to try to 'match' a cigarette brand. As many have said, there is no real equivalent vape flavor to burning cigarettes. I ended up going with non-tobacco mint / menthol flavors which worked for me because I wan't trying to compare it to anything; I was able to appreciate it for what it was. Good luck either way.

Note that you can "mentholate" any flavor.
Menthol Drops Category

Stuff goes a *long* way... I recommend starting with 1 drop per 5ml and slowly increase it from there.

I never had any luck finding a juice that did a particularly good job of emulating a cig. My honest opinion, FWIW, is that looking for something that tastes like your brand will be disappointing and fruitless. I haven't seen many posts of someone vaping myboro or desert ship for years. Most of the better tobacco flavors will taste more like a humidor smells than a cigarette. If you're looking for a daily vape, IMO it's best not to try too many at a time. If you find something that you kinda like, vape it exclusively for a day or two and see if it settles in as comfortable.

Also, as much as people will recommend all sorts interesting flavors that you wouldn't normally expect to be in the realm of smoking, I tend to think of these as novelty flavors. Truth is that you'll probably get tired of gummi bears, strawberry cheesecake, licorice, bacon, or crab flavors. :)

Liberty Flights sells a 'menthol blend' which also has a tobacco flavor as well E Liquid - Original - E Liquid 30ML - PG - Others (third one down, and they have PG/VG in stock).

From the reviews it seems it should be close to an analog menthol. I ordered some of it and I am also a long time Marlboro menthol smoker. I should get it tomorrow and I will post back with my results.

Right now I have the mint/menthol flavor from Green Smoke, and it tastes more like a blue label menthol rather than the green label menthol Marlboro, I've never been a fan of the blue label menthol analogs (too pepperminty). So I am hoping liberty flights menthol blend comes through for me.

Well I got my e-liquid menthol blend from Liberty-Flights today, sadly it has fallen very short of the mark. Right off the bat there is really no menthol feel/taste, In fact I am having a very hard time even noticing it has menthol in it at all. The liquid smells like an old ashtray (is this common with tobacco flavored e-liquids?), and it also tastes like an old ashtray as well.

On exhale there is some underlying sweetness to it, almost fruity, but overall I do no like it at all. I almost find it repulsive at this point, which is really a downer. I ordered some various menthol 6ml samples from Puresmoker due to the positive reviews I have read about their SLM blend being very close to an analog menthol. In addition to that I also got some Minthia and Peachy menthol samples. I hope one of these can do something for me, because so far e-cigs are not doing the trick. I still need to have an analog every now and then to quench that 'thirst' that these e-cigs do not offer for whatever reason.

I am hoping its that menthol hit that my throat feels when I smoke my analog menthol's, cause at this point I know its not the nicotine (I have gotten plenty of that from the e-cigs) and it can't be the other alkaloids because snus doesn't do anything for me either. If I can just find that near perfect menthol flavor that also has the same throat sensation that my analogs give me, I might be able to pull this off. Because that is one thing I have noticed right off the bat with ecigs, the ones I have so far don't hit my throat in the same spot as analogs do, and that difference is big for me.

What brand did you smoke? What juices have you tried?
