I am a newbie, I started off with 21st Century e-cigs menthol. I immediately stop smoking analogs. I like the
cool Menthol Express
blend. I have been searching the net and was unable to find that juice blend on any site. Does anyone know where I can order some?
I have also ordered and received a PROVARI V2. I do not like any of the e-juices I ordered, they are very strong. I order 24mg 555 menthol and Nuport pg. I also ordered a sample pack 18 mg (Nupert, Menthol and strong tabacco) pg and vg mix. How do I cut back on the nicotine for these ejuices I ordered? The TH almost killed me. I like the 21st century e-cigs, but they did not last long. That is why I ordered the Provari based on the utube video I saw. Just did not want to play around with a bunch of different mod, I wanted something dependable. Now my issue is the ejuice blend. I smoked Newports, but I like the 21st century cool Menthol Express better than the analog. I know that might sound strange, but I actually really like it. Please someone direct me to a site where I can buy this specific blend. Thanks ahead of time.

Hello, I'm not familure with this Menthol blend! My new favorite Menthol blend which is simply Amazing is Ice Box Mentol from VaporBeast. So damm good I can't stand it!!! I'm only vaping it at 8 mg so that may why it's so smooth. I find higher nicotine levels can be a bit harsh for my liking.

Why not email them and see if they will sell you the juice separately? Companies like this remind me of razor companies (give the handle away; sell the replacement blades for a premium) so not sure if it will work but you never know if you don't ask.

Honestly, I thought I would need something that tastes like a cig too. As it turns out there is enough of the other stuff (hand to mouth, inhale, exhale, etc.) that I actually like not associating the taste. My current fav is Cin-a-bun. Strong Vanilla's are quite good too. Can't wait to try some stuff from Ms T's Bakery.

Point is I think the vast variety of flavors will help to make this a long lasting venture. [ I even found a pizza flavor mentioned here in ECF somewhere! ]

Check out VaporChase and SteelJan on YouTube. My wife and I found their vids most helpful.

Enjoy and Happy Vaping :)

Hi Te12. I too love menthol when its done right. Not so much when its not. Whatis it about the 21century that stands out for you? Is it sweet, what notes do you pick up from it? There have been a select few menthols that I have tried that where really good. Most fall on the side of harsh and just plain yuck. Good Prophets has one that I particularly enjoy called Mentholate here 18mg GP FlavorFull eLiquid - 30ml bottle . Its a little sweet, not overly menthol and not harsh with no real minty flavor about it.

On a side note the Provari you have may allow you to adjust your nic concentration down a little to compensate for the overall kick that you would normally get from a higher nic liquid. Meaning since you can now vaporize liquid much more efficiently now (at higher voltages) you may not require a high concentration of nicotine in your liquid. You will be anbe to vaporize much more volume of liquid , much quicker when compared to your old 21century device. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.
 
Hi Hottoday,

Thanks for the suggestion for Ice Box Menthol, do you mix it with any other e-liquid? Or do you just vape it by itself? I tried the menthol I order by itself, I didn't like it maybe it was because it was 18 mg. I will try a lower nicotine level and see if that makes a differences. Thanks for responding to my thread. Happy Vaping.
 
Hi UncleKevin,

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to email them.

I enjoy vaping so far, I just have to find some e-juices/e-liquids that will work for me. I do like menthol mixed with something else so far. My understanding for what I have been reading is that some e-juices/e-liquids can crack your tank. I would like to eventually get down to a very low nicotine level or even no nicotine at all. I am not right now in to food type of flavorings, but I might later on. I just got to get pass the analog habit first. It has been 1 week, no analog.

I guess right now I am trying to make a analog blend and down the road I will experiment.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Happy Vaping to you too.
 
Hi Kia82,

What is ECBLENDS? Is that a company? I ordered Nupier from Lecig and Nuport from Provape, they are OK, but I still mixed it with Menthol from Provape and Bold Tobacco from Provape. It was OK. I guess I might be looking something with a little sweet taste. I guess I will have to play around with different flavors.

Thanks for welcoming me, Happy Vaping.
 
Hi Iusedtoanalog,

The 21st century menthol juice blend does have a sweet aftertaste, it cool tasting also. I guess I like the cool menthol and sweet after taste. I tried one today that my son had and after vaping on the Provari with a Nuport and Menthol blend, it was Ok only because the hit was not as strong as the Provari blend, but I still liked it. I will check out Good Prophets for Mentholate 18 mg, what you said make it sound good. I just read a review of Menthol Burst e-liquid, have you tried this?

Also I just read that 21st Century Nicotine level is very low compare the ejuices I ordered and I guess that make a big difference with the TH, I am use to it now. I really like vaping and thanks for the information about the Provari. I will have to keep that in mind when I am ordering ejuices.

Happy Vaping to you.

Hi Again Te12 , Just looked at the 21century product line and their highest level cartridge, as far as I can see, is 16Mg(1.6%) . So yes I think that the overall difference in nicotine strength, as well as the ability of the Provari, to aide in vaporizing your liquid, is the culprit for that almost too aggressive throat hit you where refering to in your original post.

If you like the flavors or parts of them you can reduce the nicotine content pretty easily with plain VG. It can be found in many healthfood stores, most drugstores and in most wal-marts. It is normally used as a skin conditioner and found in such a place, look for the "pure food grade" or preferably "usp" designations. This will be added to your liquid to reduce the overall amount of nicotine content. I use this program when making liquids and you just punch in the numbers and it gives you the ratios. e-Liquid Calculator It would also help to get a 5ml syringe(like you woulduse to feed medicine to a baby) for measuring the compounds you are mixing.

As far as the menthol burst liquid, Yes I have tried it, or at least I think I have and that(or somethiing very similar)is the liquid that I currently make for my all day vape. My menthol contains menthol crystals disolved in alcohol(everclear) and PG, then all VG base with peppermint and a little Ethyl Maltol to sweeten to taste. I have been making this blend for personal use for about a year and while I often make different flavors too, I always have a bottle of my menthol close by. Heres to finding that just right menthol. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.
