Hey Guys I'm new to this I decided I want to buy an e-cig because it seems safer and I tried a friends e-cig which to my surprise wasn't too bad.

So my question is what do you recommend? I smoke camel crush and kool XL green and I am looking for something that taste similar and a e-cig that won't die out on me my co-worker has a blucigs e-cig and it looks pretty cool so like I said I don't know which one to buy any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I am not a menthol smoker...but I've been trying to get my Newport-smoking girlfriend onto vaping by hunting down a menthol that she liked. After approximately 7 different purchases (did I mention I don't like menthol?), I may have found success with Nhale's Nuport. She swears it's damn close to her Newports. Don't know what Kools or the other menthols taste like so I'm not sure if this helps.

    I am a newbie also and have ordered but not received my starter kit yet. I used to smoke newport and switched to camel menthol when the price of newport went through the roof. Thanks for the info on the newport juice. I have been searching for a good menthol. Once again, I have been able to find great information from the members here. Thanks!

    I got "Frost" (menthol) from Vapor Station, and it's not bad, but I like the Menthol flavor from widowsbeadwork better. Those are the only two I know. I used to smoke American Spirit menthol lights.

    x2 - I agree with Kathyst. widows menthol is my favorite. Ive tried different suppliers but i always go back to widowsbeadwork. So for my 5th try aat another menthol supplier I placed an order at myvaporstore hopefully its the same or better. Ill keep this updated.

    It's relatively easy to make your own menthol using menthol drops or menthol crystals, and one of my favorite menthols is adding some crystals to Johnson Creek Tennessee Cured. Yummm.

    But my ABSOLUTE favorite menthol is PureSmoker Cash true menthol--it's real menthol (not mint) and it has a bit of sweetness to it, but not overpowering.

    Hmmm. I'm going to have to try that. I like TC as it is but hey, I _was_ a menthol smoker... The Janty Newport, while still the best I've had is hitting the back of the throat harder these days. I'm starting to cut it with Ecopure.

    thanks for the op for starting this thread and all the replies , as a menthol smoker this is very important to me ....I know some of y'all dont understand what it is to be a menthol smoker , but non menthol is totally out of the question once you are a hard menthol fan

    Actually there have been some non-menthol smokers here that like vaping menthol. And menthol smokers that have moved to other flavors... odd....

    well according to some recent studies such as this one sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/01/090110085918.htm
    (unsure if direct links are allowed)

    us menthol smokers may have it the worse as if the data is correct

    I haven't started vaping yet but looking forward to it , but wonder what the effects may be compared when switching over , as compared to non-menthol smokers ..I anticipate that I should go through more juice then a non menthol smoker as if the study indicated correctly , I am accustomed to higher nicotine levels than a non menthol smoker

    and I know personally that because of the menthol I can inhale larger puffs than non menthol as my freinds that are non menthol smokers take longer to smoke the same size cigarette , and I do it with less puffs

    When it comes to the subject of smoking, junk science rules.

    My son is a menthol smoker. After trying several different mixes he found one he loves. I use 3ml of Ruyan #4 and a very small piece of a menthol crystal that I bought from Juicy Liquids. He loves it! I have to keep some going since it takes overnight for the crystal to dissolve so you get the full flavor of it.

    Get the 510, not the Blu. There are way more bad reviews of it than there are good ones.

    something a noob like me has forgotten to ask , when they say the flavor of a juice is menthol - is it just menthol or taste kind of like a menthol + tobacco ?

    This is exactly why I like Janty's Newport. It's tobacco + menthol. Janty's straight "Menthol" or ruyandir's "Menthol" or freshsmoking or nuvape all of which I had tried previously, I tasted no tobacco in any of them - straight menthol.... to my taste anyway.

    Others might chime in on this. I wish ruyan would have a tobacco/menthol for ordering larger quantities at better prices than Janty. They have Kent, Hilton, Flue Cure, 555 (some say RY4 even) which are all tobacco with a flavored note to them, you'd think they'd have a menthol. Maybe they do but I've missed it.
