I have reason to think I may not agree with PG juices, so I'm going to try to find some good VG now. Does anyone have a VG menthol suggestion for me?

Have you tried any of the blends? Like 80%VG and 20%PG? Places like Gourmet Vapor allow you to choose...
What are you feeling like with the PG?

Or you could get some menthol crystals and some unflavored VG in whatever strength you want, and make your own. It's what I'm doing (only with PG/VG mix). Just crush the crystals and let it dissolve in the VG, and you can make it as menthol as you want.
The PG makes my throat feel kind of weird, not dry, I can't really explain it. Thought I should try a VG and see if that goes away. Last night was my "first time" vaping (YouTube - Virgin Vapor, My First Time Using an E-Cig, Joye 510) and I just kept vaping and vaping because I was soooo in love. But after a few hours my heart was beating really fast (apparently too much nic) and my throat was feeling kind of funky, can't really describe the feeling but I figure I may need to try either all VG or a PG/VG mix and see what happens.
Today I decided to just vape with some moderation and see how it goes. I had the throat thing happen again, though much milder, and the heart rate increase didn't happen at all. So, I'm learning.
And thanks to both of you for the suggestions. I think I'll try adding VG to my current menthol PG juice. If that doesn't do it, I'll try those crystals. I've never even heard of that. Do you have a tute on Youtube showing how you concoct this, Scott?

i have used the menthol a lot , and if i get it to strong in the vg/pg mix it can burn your throat- try less menthol or maybe trying some of the flavors- the friuts and chocolate is great- you can mix up all sorts of flavors- just an idea- good luck
Thanks, that's a fantastic idea. I have a pineapple, so maybe I'll try that.
I think the throat thing is subsiding now, I'm using a new 18 mg menthol juice thats PG, maybe I just need to get used to the whole change.

If you want to try a premixed I would suggest TruePure from Halo.. Electronic Cigarette by Halo My wife is/was a menthol smoker and this was dead on for her. They sell it in a 5ml sampler for less than 5 bucks. Best menthol I or my wife have tried. Best of luck in your search...there is something out there, that will suit your needs..just have to find it. They don't give the mix ratio, but makes great vapor and is very smooth..so I know it has a fair amount of VG..You can contact them, and tell them you are sensitive to PG and ask the PG/VG ratio. I am sure they would give that. Gourmet Vapors mentioned in previous post is also a great vendor, and you can select PG/VG..but I have not tried any of their menthol juices. So can't compare.
I can't use PG at all and searched all over for a good VG menthol that wasn't too thick, so I could use it in Carto's....then I found Good Prophets VG menthol and I haven't looked back! Rob's menthol VG is the best you'll find. Check it out here on his forum page....many others also love his VG menthol, as well as all the other flavors. Great prices and the best customer service around helps too!!
P.S. No, I'm not associated to Good Prophets in any way, other then a dedicated customer!!

I'm relatively new to this too and being a long-time Kool smoker I was on a similar search. I tried a bunch of different menthols and to tell the truth I've not found any that really are that great. To me they all seem to have kind of an odd flavor underneath that comes through to varying degrees and it's just not nearly the same taste/experience as a good menthol cigarette.
It finally dawned on me that other than as a cigarette I don't even really like menthol itself as a flavor that much (duh). lol The only reason that I'd been smoking them is that I prefer the "fresh" minty-type flavor better than regular cigarettes and that was the only alternative. Not so with the e-cig!
Sooo... I gave up on the menthols and tried some other mint-type flavors that I actually do like. In particular, peppermint works much better in an e-cig for me. Gives the same fresh effect with a much better taste versus the funky menthol. Also, I think that it's kind of hard to mess up peppermint. The peppermint liquids that I've tried all come through as a good true flavor versus some of the others and it's easy to get VG, PG, or whatever you want as a mix in between.
Anyway... that's my experience. You might try something like that.

I"m in love with Innovapor pure menthol juices. They have their own organic chemist who formulates them. Makes me feel safer. Made in the USA. They have great customer service too . Just my opinion.
Vermont Vapor has a mostly VG menthol - it is 85VG/15PG. I used it and it was one of my faves for a long time...
VV specializes in VG juices and have been around for quite a while. There's only a few flavors of theirs that have more than a trace of PG in them due to the flavorants they use - make sure you read the descriptions.
