I got my e-cig last week and am not quite satisfied. I really think that it has to do with the taste that I am looking for. I smoke menthol and the menthol flavor of the e-cig just does not seem to have much (if any) menthol flavor to me. I also purchased the lowest amount of nicotine liquid and that may be part of the problem too. So, my question really is to you menthol smokers. What would give me a stronger menthol flavor or what source should I purchase from to get the stronger menthol flavor?

Thanks,
Linda

P.S. I liked the idea of the e-cig so much that I bought one for a lady that works for me and also one for my sister.

Two comments to the OP. First, if you are looking for a menthol 'fix', the JuicyLiquids.com menthol juice is great. Second, from your post count, I am guessing you are relatively new to vaping. I was a hardcore Newport full strength smoker for over 30 years. I poo-pooed the whole flavor thing thinking it was 'gay' (no offense intended fellas). Well, now I am loving coffee, chocolate and peach flavors more than menthol. After quitting analogs, it is no longer about the brand I used to smoke, but more about the fun and exciting flavor experiences I was missing for all those years. Go ahead a focus on menthol for a while, as I did, but branch out in to new flavors. This is a fun and addictive habit.

e-smokeytreats menthol is pretty good. I mixed it 50/50 with their tobacco flavor and liked it. Big menthol throat hit. I used to smoke menthol Zig-Zag homemades but you're just not going to find that flavor from an ecig (part of the flavor of an analog is the burning)

Like the others, the more I vape, the more I like the fruit, sweet etc flavors - it's a pretty common shift

Thank you everyone. I had seriously considered purchasing some chocolate flavoring. Now I will also give it a try.

As for the liquid. I am new to vaping (less than a week). I have a fear of all things that we ingest or inhale if it comes from China. I am using what I purchased with the e-cig but I am still wary of it.

I can easily get medical grade propylene glycol by the gallon and so I could mix my own e-juice if I could find the other ingredients.

Nicotine juice? Is this impossible to purchase since it is a poison?

Concentrated menthol flavoring?

Thanks,
Linda

I got crystals and liquid from Juicy Liquid. This is without a doubt what my taste buds were looking for. I do believe that I will be able to stop smoking as long as I have my e-cig and my menthol flavor. At the moment, I am using 6mg liquid but I purchased it before I got your advice here about the menthol. Now I am waiting for the chocolate flavor to come in :)

Later,
Linda
