I hardly ever smoked Menthol analogs on purpose. I remember trying them a few times thinking they would, "clear up my sinuses", but they never really did. I always thought they tasted like toothpaste on a burned hotdog anyway.

Menthol vapor is another story. I'm on my first (and definitely not last) bottle of menthol. I woke up stuffy this morning (probably from steaming 2-3 ml of Vanilla through my new ProVari just before going to bed last night). My sinuses were completely clear after five minutes vapeing the menthol juice from CCV. Flavor wise, it just taste "fresh" and minty. It has a pronounced throat-hit and produces the vapor footprint of a 737 at 5,000'. (CCV Resurrector carto on a ProVari @ 4.0v)

But it is very possible that any ecig juice will have the same "sinus clearing" affect. Cigarette smoke irritates the throat/nasal passages to the point that our bodies produce more mucous to combat the irritation. One can get many flavors of juice that do not cause irritation as badly as cigarette smoke.

I hated menthol cigarettes, would've likely gone without rather than to bum one if I was out of Marlboros. I got a menthol carto as a free sample from Vapor4Life a month or so after I started vaping, and I was amazed at how refreshing it was. I also discovered that it was still satisfying even at much lower nic strength. My all-day vape has been Halo Menthol Ice since January of 2010 - I never get tired of it.

(Note to self... buy some more menthol)

I know what you mean. I've tried a couple of menthols and like you said, there's nothing like taking a menthol vape in the a.m. It opens me right up. I've tried it from two places so far. MFS in 18mg and Ms. T's in 6mg. Ms T's stuff was strong as all out doors but started to settle as the day went on (but still probably a little to mentholy for me).

I'm looking to put in an order today and will definitely pick some more methol up from somewhere.

This is where DIY can really shine. Menthol is easy to work with, and inexpensive!! My all day is a menthol/wintergreen with koolada for that cool feeling in the back of the throat. Great stuff!

I have a bunch of supplies, been planning to try a little DIY menthol when I get some time, maybe with a little vanilla mixed in. I'll have to try some of that koolada, too. Thanks!
 
I was another menthol smoker and do have a lot of different juices that I have bought for the times when I feel the urge. Nothing satisfies me more then Newport Beach from Titan Vapors since it almost tastes like a real cig. It's a mix between a kool and a newport.

Ah, I'll have to check out this Newport Beach ^^

I smoked menthol analogs for years, and carried this over to vaping. Although I do find myself not looking for a full menthol but rather a few drops menthol + a few drops of whatever combined.

I did this by mistake one day... and was in total vape heaven.

I also will have to check this place out. So far I've fallen in love with RY4 and Menthol... just looking to complete the tri-fecta now.
