I use Mr. eliquid full flavor menthol....it is GOOD. I was dropping some Vapor God full menthol in it but not any more. Their menthol is good on its own, or drop some small flavoring in it of another juice. If you want super duper menthol, Mr E has arctic wolf. I use it sometimes to drop in the other menthol. Good stuff, menthol smoker for 30 + years here :) Good luck.

Lots of advice for flavors to try but as we all know here, what one person raves about the next may find disgusting. Funny how our taste buds can be so different from each other. Your best bet is to go with 10ml bottles or smaller samples. I think some vendors offer 1 or 3 ml sample bottles.

I guess I'll be the first to ask, what hardware are you using? Battery device, carto etc? Are the cartos single or dual coil and what ohm rating. How are you filling the cartos? They can be tricky, looking saturated on top but too dry near the bottom where the coil is.

Every combination of battery and delivery device, whether it be a carto, clearo, tank etc has it's own sweet spot where it produces it's optimal vape. With no winners out of 15 flavors, maybe some attention to your hardware would yield some benefits?
 
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.

Zeusejuice.com has a flavorless. Nothing but pg/vg and nic(if you want it). I also know that you can add menthol to any flavor they have, so I assume you could add it to the flavorless juice as well. Their juices are roughly $6-$7 for 10ml

Don't throw the juices away. They may need to steep. Steeping is a process where you take the lids off for a couple of days and shake occasionally. Then put the lids back on and shake occasionally. Try after a week. And then a week after that and so on. Some juices will take a loooong time to mature. Meanwhile, back to the immediate problem, try Ahlusion and Heathers Heavenly Vapes.

Plus one on the suggestion to try sample packs from several vendors to see what you might like rather than ordering 30 ml bottles in a shotgun approach. Many of us have made that mistake, and spent way more on juice than hardware to begin with and basically thrown money away.

Finally drink lots of water. Even the best juices can taste "meh" after a while if you aren't hydrated. Good luck!

I'm using a provari with 2.2 ohm mini cartos, with all these bad flavors I can't afford to try them out in anything nicer :)

Going for DIY now

V2 menthol is one of my favorites. Haven't got it in awhile as it costs too much compared to others. Two of my favorite menthols are Smiling Menthol from Vape4life and Marb Smooth from Tampa Vapors (they are very similar to each other). Neither is minty. They are both supposed to be "tobacco" flavors but as mentioned previously...there ain't no such critter.

As for being stuck with a bunch of flavors you don't like...welcome to the club...lol. Taste is subjective...when I first started vaping it seemed like only one juice in ten was good enough to vape. And the longer I vaped the more my taste changed and some juices that I used to love I can't stand anymore. Thank goodness for sample packs. You may want to try a nice dripping atomizer. I've noticed that flavors I didn't really care for in a carto woke up when I dripped them.

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.)

You can also use the spin method. Just put a rubber boot on your carto, drip as much as you can into the carto, attach a lanyard (standard e-cig lanyard), and then spin it a few times to force the juice to the bottom. That's the best method I found back when I used cartos.

I use Mr. Eliquid full flavor menthol....it is GOOD. I was dropping some Vapor God full menthol in it but not any more. Their menthol is good on its own, or drop some small flavoring in it of another juice. If you want super duper menthol, Mr E has arctic wolf. I use it sometimes to drop in the other menthol.

+1 to this. Mr. E-Liquid has some of the best menthols I've ever tried (and I've tried a LOT). I've never had a bad one from them.

WOAH! Hold up there cowboy! Don't let any of your hard earned money go to waste! If I were you, I would start trading the e-liquid out IMMEDIATELY on the classifieds. I only have about 6-7 e-liquids I don't like.....but I'm already going to start trading away on the classifieds, as I don't like to waste money.

Get some opinions here.....do some research.....and out of the all the e-liquids you have tried.....try to come up with flavors you like, which you don't like.....which you can tolerate, which you can't , etc.....start making a list.....and then go ahead and start trading in the classifieds.

I'm sure you will find tons of people willing to trade e-liquid w/ you.

Also, I found out that spearmint, and menthol are two ENTIRELY different things.....and I like them both for different reasons , in different juices.

Vaperite has a GREAT spearmint......and Roar has a GREAT menthol. I suggest you check them out if you like. Do like I did, and order them separately , stand-alone.... and then you can add them to any e-liquid you please.

That reminds me actually.....I need to run to vaperite soon and get some watermelon , and spearmint e-liquids.

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

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.

I really like the tigers blood from vixen vapor as well. It's my all day vape. If anyone is interested I just posted a juice trade on the classifieds.

the best menthol is aroma juice p-38 menthol. it has wta and is pricey, but all the others pale in comparison. you might ask if they can make it without wta and then the prices drop considerably.(I used to smoke kools and this IS the one ).

I was a Marlboro Menthol 72 smoker. By far and away my favorite menthol is TVR Menthol from the thevaporroom.net. I've tried many, even others that had the same name from different vendors and nothing compares. It's a great menthol vape. It doesn't have a strong tobacco taste at all. Just a very very small touch with a pretty strong menthol, not mint, but menthol. After trying it I immediately ordered the 90ml combo pack they have. I have since grown a bit tired and moved on to more fruity menthols but will always keep at least a 30ml bottle of it.
