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.

It seems that the new Janty site is missing a lot of flavors - or am I just looking in the wrong place? I don't see a Newport or even a menthol flavor.

Janty's "Newport" is now FS Newport and only available at freshsmoking.com. It may have been mislabeled before. Pretty sure it's the same supplier, but I've never seen it at Janty or dietsmokes.

As far as straight menthol. Janty is not listing it now but used to and they have (or had) 'menthol' carts and juice. I have some from there. Maybe they renamed that to Mentha Spicata?? But again, freshsmoking and I think dietsmokes has the same Menthol that I got from Janty originally.

I'm a menthol smoker of 37 years...

I have a couple of menthol mixes that I really like... but be forewarned: what might taste great in a 510 can and will taste different in something like a 901. That's a fact. PV's like the 901 bring out more flavor... and what tastes decent in a 510 may be overpowering in a 901.

That being said.. the ECOpure Menthol is quite nice! And, it is a VG based liquid so you get tons of vapor. When I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the menthol I will cut this 50/50 with ECOpure Fresh... which subdues the menthol flavoring a bit.

If you discover (as many do) that you are missing the subtle tobacco undertones in your menthol vape, try the Menthol-Rich (ECOpure again) that you can get from Innovapor. It is a mix of the menthol with the "rich", and man is that simply wonderful!

My $.02. No refunds or exchanges!

I just went to the freshsmoking site looking for that Janty Newport, but I don't see any that say Janty. Is it the one that says simply Newport that is out of stock :(

This one sounds great I need it LOL

Yeah... since that post they changed names to 'refill liquid', and dropped the janty but it's still the same juice:

Deluxe Refill Liquid - freshsmoking.com

Third down ;-)

The top one is straight menthol. The Newport has a tobacco taste with a good tasting menthol, imo.

If you go to the liquid dropdown and to DIY you'll see 'menthol crystals' for making your own strength. There's a tip there how to do it.

I agree I'm loving my new joye 510! I'm also hooked on the new port!

Great. I really did like it for a while. I'll confess though it got a bit strong after my taste buds woke up ;-) I still mix it with another tobacco flavor occasionally - it helps marlboro, and is good with virginia and 555. And Nhaler's Nuport is getting more play now. With the cold hitting us in Ohio, I broke out the Decadent Vapours "Mentholyptus" - Halls x 10 but a little goes a long way but it's a nice 'wake up'. Good tasting - just very strong. It's not like I'm waiting to get a cold but it will be the first thing I try...after Zicam :)

Sometimes I'll mix it with 555 or the hv new port. it' smoother!

Thanks for the help Kent!
I do plan to use the menthol crystals, but trying to find something to add it too.
Is NHaler's Newport simular, how would you compare it.
Maybe I can get that one since the other is out of stock..

It's similar in the fact that it has a tobacco base and some menthol but the menthol is of a different quality/taste - I like both but am favoring the Nuport High Voltage right now but :) since you brought up the freshsmoking Newport I dragged that out of the drawer tonight and it's also tasting good. lol

As far as the menthol crystals go... that's meant for diy stuff mainly but you could add it to any flavor you think menthol might go with - we had a thread on that a while back and I was surprised what combos people came up with but tried a few and some were good - chocolate is a natural but it's hard to find a good chocolate but butterscotch oddly was good with some menthol. Anyway, if you have some unflavored nic juice, cut it down to your nic level and then use either some PG or VG to melt the crystals in and add to the mix. I suppose the most 'natural' if you didn't have diy stuff on hand is to take some tobacco flavored juice you have and use that. 555 and menthol crystals is good, so is virginia that has more flavors going on that most tobacco flavors, imo. I wouldn't ruin my old style Tenn. Cure but I have added a few drops to a cart of it.

Oh okay I get you, I was thinking since most menthol's I hear are not so great I was going to up it a notch with the crystals :evil:
Sounds like thats going overboard LOL

Great info on the 555 and Virginia, I actually love Viginia Slim Menthols! May I ask where your getting these, I'm stocking up on juice. For now I want to try to reproduce a regular menthol analog, but I can see the idea of Coffee or other flavors sounds kinda nice :rolleyes: I will pick up some flavors too just incase!

As a newbie this whole concept of flavors seems odd

Thanks for all your help Kent! :)

Well not really. Because you can 'blend as needed'. Some people want that pure menthol taste even if it is only a part of the total flavor.

Originally I was getting the newport and the virginia from freshsmoking.com - it was the same juice as janty/joye but it looks like janty may be changing suppliers - that's not good, imho except for the fact that they only sold in 10ml bottles for @$10 which is expensive. So if they get the same quality in bigger bottles at a lower price that will be good for everyone.

Anyway, the Virginia at freshsmoking is good. Drew's Nhaler Virginia is good. The Widow has the same janty/joye juice but forget whether she has virginia. Myfreedomsmokes has a good virginia.

May I ask where your getting these, I'm stocking up on juice. For now I want to try to reproduce a regular menthol analog, but I can see the idea of Coffee or other flavors sounds kinda nice :rolleyes: I will pick up some flavors too just incase!

My 'regular menthol analog flavor is Drew's Nuport and USA Tobacco flavors. - a regular vape at the computer along with DV's Habana Reserve and Absinthe - which I also have at my 'tv chair'. Doing the drew juice with the Janty stick at the computer, btw.

I have a few coffees I like - old style Johnson Creek "Kona" which is still available here:
Johnson Creek Smoke Juice - Old Formula

Liquidxpress Mr. Bean and Artesia mixed
Janty/freshsmoking 'cappuccino' also sold at by the Widow as 'Coffee' - same flavor - strong expresso and cinnamon/cream/vanilla.

And Parked just(wednesday) got some new Rob juice (liquidxpress) - caramel macchiato which I suppose is going for the *bucks taste. Have some on order but likely won't get it til monday.

As a newbie this whole concept of flavors seems odd

Thanks for all your help Kent!

Welcome! Oddness.... yep. At first everyone wants as close to analog as possible, then they realize they don't Have to have that taste and go off into other stuff and some, I have, return to some good smooth tobacco flavors. That's what Tennessee Cure is for :) JC changing that was as big a mistake as Caruso leaving NYPD Blue and Sharona leaving Monk :) ... She's on next week though!

As an online retailer of e-cig products, I can tell you that 90% of the e-juice in the world comes from the same manufacturer. For a nominal fee, they will re-brand the bottles and packaging with your company name/logo/colors.

So, you may very well be buying the same exact stuff from two different companies that are calling it different things. Some people have even convinced themselves that one tastes different than the other. (This does not, of course, apply to the 10% that are not getting their e-juice from that huge manufacturer, which is in China, incidentally.)

The best advice I can give is to try a bunch out. Like many people have stated here, you may very well find out that you like the flavored ones over the tobacco ones - even if you thought, "no way!"

Some companies offer sample packaging in 10ml bottles so that you can try a few out at a time without necessarily breaking the bank!
