Hi all! I'm new to vaping (about 1 1/2 weeks in) and am on a search for a particular flavor. This flavor happens to be (so far) the only one that has left me not craving an analog.

I was a PAD (sometimes a bit more) smoker using a combination of American Spirit Mellow Menthols (bright green box) and Camel Menthol Silvers (always used the extra burst of menthol).

When I ordered my eGo-T kit I purchased the Dekang Nport, Pepper and Cherry (as I love Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry). In addition, I purchased RY4, Menthol Burst and Vanilla from Volacano. The Pepper & Cherry were pretty much tasteless. The RY4 (although decent tasting) just doesn't feel right tobacco wise. I tried to combine the RY4 with extra Vanilla and few drops of the Menthol burst ... but the flavor wasn't right at all. I've totally gone through the Dekang Nport and have been trying to go with the above combination of RY4, but it just isn't cutting it and I find myself going back to smoking analogs.

I am on a quest for a flavor that combines a tobacco similar to the American Spirit Mellow Menthols I was smoking and a good hearty Vanilla.

I was looking at making a mix from Gourmet Vapor, but when I go to the flavor creator I didn't see a Nport option. They have both a Vanilla and Nport in the "already created" flavors section ... but I'm wary on buying it because I don't know how similar it is to the Dekang Nport.

Am I just destined to have to buy small bottles (can't seem to find a big bottle) of Dekang Nport and mix Vanilla in ... or there an already made creation out there that will work for what I'm looking for?

I don't like the VG at all and am looking for a 100% PG liquid.

If it makes a difference on what juice choice I pick, my gear is the following:

eGo-T
Type "B" tank system w/ Type "B" Low Res Atty
Type "A" Atty (with the plate pulled out) for dripping

Thanks all for any imput & thanks for this forum of wonderful information!!

Wish I could help you with your flavor "holy grail" but I don't have any experience with menthol type flavors. I'm sure somebody here does though, so keep checking back. I only wanted to mention that it will take a few weeks for your taste buds to come back to life and during the process of regeneration it may be hard for you to discern how things really taste. Save the juice that you don't like today and maybe in a few weeks it will taste totally different to you.

I love the occasional menthol and keep a bottle around just for those times I need the kick of that old menthol breathe. Honestly? The best I've found are either DIY flavors or Halo Menthol juices.

Try FreedomSmokeUSA American Spirit premixed and either Camtel or I actually think from reviews Desert Ship would be better for the Camel-alike and have them add menthol to the Desert Ship. You can't add menthol to their Specialty 50/50 juices like American Spirit but Desert Ship premixed should be able to have menthol added

Just order both (and I recommend 100% PG for the Desert Ship if you will be mixing it with the American Spirit which is 50/50)
Then add this to your cart
FreedomSmokeUSA
And in your order comments ask for menthol in the Desert Ship

best i can think of

You might check posts by Swedishfish. She was a menthol smoker and love Nhaler's Newport flavor, vapes it daily. She knows her stuff and helps many on ECF. Whatever you decide, get the smallest bottle the vendor sells. 50ml of stuff that taste like skunk juice to you is not a good deal, no matter the price. Hope you find your happy spot quickly with some tasty, satisfying juice. :)

Thanks for all the replys!!

I did check out the MadVapes Nuport and Nhalers Newport, but I think 24mg of nic will be too much for me. Do you know if they make it in a 16mg or 18mg?

I tried to do a search for posts by Swedishfish ... the search function keeps giving me an error saying it can't find the page. I guess I'll try again tomorrow ...

Does anyone know if I contact Gourmet Vapor via email if they will throw together a mix of Nuport and Vanilla?

One last question ... Does anyone know exactly what type of tobacco is used in American Spirits?
