This is actually a question for my DH:

My DH has been in love with V4L's WOW Traditional Menthol juice for years: it's all he vapes. However, they are often OOS. They actually do have it in stock now, but he's sick and tired of dealing with this company and its antics. Since I am not a menthol vaper I have no way to try and guide him.

Please, if you know of any menthol juice similar to that juice, or Marb Menthol which he says it tastes like, post it.

Yeah, he won't vape melon... even with menthol. He did tell me that he wouldn't mind finding a cherry vape for a change of pace... something that tasted like a very potent Cherry Koolaid, or Halls Cherry cough drops. :facepalm: I wish I was joking. He even said he'd prefer it taste more like the cough drops, or cherry koolaid mixed with vicks.

I try not to judge the simplicity of his palate but at the same time he's so picky! When I used to DIY with juice I tried for years to come up with a menthol/mint flavour that he would like with no success.

He just really likes that one juice which is a menthol tobacco flavour. I've been buying juices from places on ground with no luck too.

Hey desert
Highbrow is my favorite Menthol Highbrowbacco - Menthol

It's subtle, not in potency, but how all of sudden you think "Hey, my mouth feels really good". They also have a nice selection of fruit Fruit Flavors - E Juice Made in USA | Highbrow Vapor

They can customize to a certain extent. Add menthol to anything. Extra flavor. I told them how much I like their Ahlambra Peach and on my next order they sent a freebie of menthol Peach. This juice DOES need 3-4+ weeks of steeping to find itself.

Good Luck

I recently ordered velvet cloud's mt. Shasta frost, and I really like it. It's 100 vg, and a really strong menthol. I used to smoke camel menthol crush, and I crushed it every time. This tastes just like those... though, I tried american menthol tobacco, not sure of the manufacturer, I got it at a store. It wasn't enough menthol for me, but if you can find it, it may work for him.

I was a menthol smoker for about 8 years out of 14 I had been smoking. I smoked Camel Menthols with the crush so it was a regular menthol but when you crushed it the menthol flavor got stronger. With that being said I started with SubZero from Halo. It was the EXACT same flavor as the cigarettes I was smoking and I really think that helped me quit tremendously in the beginning. Another good flavor is Malibu from Halo which is a pina colada flavor with a hint of menthol. Hope that helps.

I never found a menthol I liked. If you diy you can make your own and tweek it. I use menthol and koolada. Sometimes I add a drop or 2 of a flavor into my tank.

BTDT. I tried for 3 yrs to make a menthol vape he likes... no success.

ETA: After I gave up DIY I sold off all of the other juices but kept the tobaccos and menthols/mints for him so he could try at it himself. Apparently he hasn't been satisfied with his efforts either.

For the non menthol lovers it's hard to understand the "pickyness" of a menthol lover but not all menthol is created equal.
I have been having a hard time finding the perfect menthol for myself. I love ice cold menthol but without the minty flavored taste of peppermint or other mint for that matter. 90% of my menthol ordered end in disaster because they all taste like bubble gum or herb like. I hate them.

The only menthol I love is:

1. Totally wicked herculean range menthol base (discontinued 4 years ago... Used to buy at 500ml bottles)

2. Wicked liquids Ice menthol... This one is really great. No backtaste no useless minty flavourings... Just Ice menthol. Bought 500ml of it but it's at little expensive so looking for cheaper alternatives without luck so far.

Did some diy for a couple of years but all my menthol tries, although pretty close, always have a harsh bitter taste to them which the above mentioned don't have. No 1 even had a smooth creamy taste and no 2, although super strong, has some velvet smooth taste in it that I can't replicate

So bottom line... There is more in menthol that most think

Tony turned me on to the Wicked Ice Menthol. It's ADV for me and as he described it. I told him "It'll put hair on your toes." I just ordered 250mls.

Ice Menthol eLiquid

Just so you know it's a little bit expensive with the conversion and it takes awhile to get here (in an envelope marked "Cosmetics" btw) but well worth it.

Thank you for the link! I have quite a few samples on the way from previous suggestions already. We shall see about those. If and when he still wants more options (and he probably will ;) ) this will be first on the list. Thank you all again, and please keep them coming! :)

The only menthol I like is V2 Menthol. I like menthol without the minty taste, and V2 has a nice creamy aftertaste. I have the recipe for DIY, but waiting for my equipment order to get here to give it a try.

Let me know how it goes! I kept all the tobaccos and menthol/mint flavourings for my DH to play with so we still have stuff for mixing. :)

First person I know of that appears to share the same feeling about minty stuff while liking menthol. Now I know I'm not insane... Or at least not alone lol.

Mind sharing that recipe?

Thanks
