I do think DIY is the way to go, but for vaping newbies who are still trying to get a feel for the layout of the land, sampling some of what's already out there is a good intro to it all. I picked up around 12 menthol/mint juices from
The Vaping Zone this past week for my missus (who has decided to try the vaping experience along with me). I'm not a menthol smoker per say, but I have been surprised by how good some are some of the ones I bought. She has enjoyed every one of them so far.
Three things stood out to me about them: 1. Real menthol with just a touch of mint, spearmint, peppermint or all three can make for a very nice flavor. 2. There is a great range of menthol flavors available that vastly differ from one another in taste. 3. Three of the menthols I sampled tasted more like real cigarettes than any of the other tobacco-flavored juice blends I've tried so far. For these reasons, I highly recommend trying at least some pre-mixed menthol samples.
All in all I guess I would say, if you are a menthol smoker, you're probably going to have a blast vaping!
