Seriously, I have about 15 bottles and I like NONE of them, I'm just using the ones I can actually tolerate. The only liquid that I really liked is v2cigs menthol but they don't even have it above 1.2% nic and that's just not going to work. I tried lots of tobacco / menthol tobacco flavors, sweet flavors, and I'm giving up on those for right now. I need to find a menthol with 2.4-3.6% nic that I can vape all day. I'm looking for strong menthol, but not "minty". The worst flavor out of the 15 I have is provape icy menthol, it just tastes like a giant blast of mint and not anything like menthol. I dont have a vg atomizer yet, it needs to be at least 80% pg so I can try it out in cartomizers. Also I'm looking for unflavored 3.6% or 4.8% for mixing with the flavors I have right now.

Thanks.

If you're looking for a juice that tastes like a cigarette then good luck. After 8 or 9 months of vaping I have found none. I am with you on the wasted money. I have well over 50 bottles of juice that I don't touch. I say try other things that sound familiar that you like and try them instead. My personal favorites are Snickerdoodle Cookies and Sugar Cookies from Ms. T's and Tiger's Blood from Vixen Vapors.

Oh by the way, you can vape 100% VG in a carto. The life span of the carto just won't be a long. The Tiger's Blood I mentioned is a 50/50 blend. I get almost a week out of my cartos using it.

My bf vapes something called US Menthol. He says its about as close to a Marlboro menthol that you can get without lighting something on fire.

We get it from a place in MD called SafeSmoke - Their # is 410-751-3730
You could give em a call and get a small bottle sent to you.

Bummer!!
All I can suggest is going to lots of ejuice sites and ordering small sample packs. You can get 5 or 6 or 10 or 20 flavors at a time in 3ml amounts.
Also, let the icky ones steep for a while. Keep in a dark place and shake every day. Sounds weird but this can make a big difference in the flavor as most are mixed to order and need to steep a while before they take on the true flavor.
Guess I'm lucky, I like the fruit, bakery and sweet flavors way more than the tobacco flavors and have found lots I like.
Good luck, it's worth the try to get off smokes.

How would you vape VG in a carto? I tried it and ended up throwing the carto away because the liquid wouldn't even move down.

I'd recommend HHV legend and serendipity. I've tried hundreds of juices and I think I'm actually thankful that I haven't found one that tastes like an analog. It'd have to be ash tray flavored. Legend and serendipity are prolly the best tasting least offensive juices I've tried anywhere. If you can't at least tolerate those you may have a hard time finding some that you can.

Try and step outside the menthol box if you can. When I started vaping, I thought I would ONLY like menthol (FSUSA's Ultra Menthol, which is not minty btw.) I thought that all the people in the store who were foaming at the mouth about the bakery, fruit, and candy vapes were just plain weird. Two days later, I ventured out and tried fruit. Then bakery. Then candy. Yes, I have been through a lot of samples, but I have found not only the juices I love, but have a good idea about what flavors I really do love. Turns out, I hate menthol and mint, go figure. And I do a lot of trades here to find what I like. What I can't trade, I give away. It feels good to PIF (and to finally find flavors that work for me!)

Read the reviews here, get samples, and keep an open mind :)

Mikey - what method are you using to fill your carto? If you haven't yet, try the "condom method" (I know, stupid name.) It works - even on VG (I did it with VCV and Boba's which is all VG.)

Somewhere out there
A great strong menthol is Subzero by Halo, it does not taste sweet to me and is real blast of cool/cold menthol. If anyone is looking for a cig tasting tobacco, Halo's Longhorn tasted just like a Marboro to me, so much so I couldn't vape it because I have not had a cigarette in sooooooo long. LOL Halo's are best steeped for a few days at least to a week. bnrk
