Menthol Recommendations - New to e-cigs

[LeMarque]

I've tried to read the MANY forum posts and starter guides but nothing really stuck.

I'm a 60 year old medium to heavy menthol smoker (pack a day American Spirits - can I say that?) that would like something that looks like a real cigarette and has a strong(?) vapor; anything else?

I will say that compared to the cost of analogs, cost doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I'd rather find one supplier for all my e-cig needs and am not adverse to refilling.

Hope this is enough info and all replies appreciated. Really.

TIA

Grab a M201 from litecig USA and a bottle of the high menthol.

m201 doesn't look the most like a real cig, but will give you that strong hit and cigarette like draw you're probably looking for.

I love the menthol from Awesome Vapor (awesomevapor.com)

 

[kinabaloo]

buy some menthol crystals from your pharmacy (5g, cheap) to dissolve in your liquid (just a little at a time till you get the desired strength of flavor).

I can tell you that I was not at all impressed with the mentha flavor from vaportalk. very very weak flavor and vapor production was also weak. Im actually going to try some menthol from heaven-gifts and I also ordered some doubler menthol flavor from tastyvapor.us. geoffrey said that the menthol doubler is very strong.

I was a 25 year Marlboro menthol smoker. When I started vaping, I went crazy trying to find a menthol I liked. Tried 6 or 7 different suppliers, some being on kent's list, and others not. I finally found one that's really good, and I mean so good, that even after 5 weeks of vaping it every day, I still sometimes look down at my PV after taking a hit, and think, "Wow, that REALLY is good". It is Vermont Vapor's menthol. No tobacco flavor mixed in, just clean fresh menthol flavor. Others I found were either mixed with tobacco flavor, or more mint then menthol, or tasted liked mouthwash. But theirs is just right as far as my taste goes. 30ml Menthol Vermont Vapor e-Liquid They also have sample sizes.

I agree. The M201 is a beast. I get my M201s from www.absolutelyecigs.com and i like their menthol liquid as well.

Wow!

Thanks everybody for the feedback. I'll post after I've finished my first cup of coffee

I'm confused when you say liquid. Do you mean the various 'flavors' that are available? Is it something (the liquid) that I can make myself?

Trying to get my head around this.

First, ordering from heaven-gifts; they'er in China. Do you know how long it takes from order till arrival?

So, if I order menthol from tastyvapor and I want a bit of tobacco flavor, what do I order?

eh ... newbie questions

What about the 401?

I'm thinking two kits. One, maybe like the 201, for when I'm alone doing my Web Design stuff and a second, like the 401 that looks more like a real cig; when I'm out in public.

Its hard enough these days to be a smoker much less have something that looks like a PaperMate pen sticking out of your mouth

all my orders from china have been 5 days max. from china to louisiana in 5 days is pretty damn good. tastyvapor sells flavor doublers so that if you buy high strenght nicotine liquids and you cut them down you can add their doubler flavors to add the flavor back after diluting it. just go over to tastyvapor.us and check out the products and read. also over at tastyvapor.us there is a live help box at the top of the screen and you can chat with geoffrey and he can explain more to you. he can actually see when someone is looking at his site and can actually initiate the conversation.

 

[6linkslam]

also all of the flavors offered at tasty vapor can be mixed to your liking. as many as three flavors. they have tobacco/menthol flavor in nic juice and doublers.

Thinking I may want a touch of tobacco flavor. How's that accomplished?

OK - so. Daunting. Looking like I'll go for the 510 but am I mistaken or is nhaler a bit high. Think I saw the same kit for about $50. Although I may be wrong; I'm getting a bit dizzy trying to keep up.

So how do you mix your own menthol w/a bit of tobacco flavor?

 

[Scottbee]

I'm a menthol semi-ex-smoker.... 37 years worth.

For a menthol flavor with a touch of rich tobacco, in my opinion you can't beat the ECOpure Menthol-Rich. It's a mixture of the ECOpure Menthol and the ECOpure "Rich" and it is amazingly good! And since it is VG (Vegetable Glycerin) based, you get tons of vapor. I've only seen this mixture carried at Innovapor.

 

[kklogan]

I also like the menthol from awesome vapor and I recommend a 201 or a 901 because they feel close to actual smoking

Le: OK - so. Daunting. Looking like I'll go for the 510 but am I mistaken or is nhaler a bit high.

You're mistaken. The cheapest US kit is cignot at $35 (Heaven Gifts is $30 but the shipping makes it over cignot). Nhaler at $47 you get the full kit plus two 6ml bottles of juice that would be $8 - so the kit is $39. But then there's shipping from Nhaler too. Check Cignot if you haven't bought yet. They may have gotten some in... but they sell out fast at that price.

Think I saw the same kit for about $50. Although I may be wrong; I'm getting a bit dizzy trying to keep up.

If the Widow - widowsbeadworks.com - still has free shipping - her kit is $50. Freshsmoking.com $49.95 but you need $99 for free shipping there.

So how do you mix your own menthol w/a bit of tobacco flavor?[/quote]

Get a bottle of Camel, Marlboro, Virginia and add the menthol. See the freshsmoking.com for the menthol crystals:

FS Menthol Crystals - freshsmoking.com

"Menthol Crystals can be melted in the microwave and then added into the eLiquid of your choice. Another method would be to dissolve the crystals in a few drops of hot water and then adding the solution into the eLiquid."

Of course you could get their Nuport - which is a pretty good tobacco based menthol juice or straight 'menthol' which is a bit stronger and then add it to a tobacco based juice. If you want to make your own from scratch - there's a bit more to that - you have to get the nic juice with a level of nicotine, mix it with either vg or pg to bring it down to the level of nic you want; find a tobacco flavoring and a menthol flavoring and mix.... ;-) If you're in for the long haul, that's the way to go. Buy the highest level of nic juice you can find - since the PG and VG is cheap in comparison and you can dilute the nic to a greater quantity the higher your nic juice is... simple math really

If you get menthol crystals, here's an easy way to make your own menthol drops. You don't need all the hardware called for in the recipe, all you really need is a way to accurately measure.
