Newb and confused :)

Hey there, I've been trying to find some E juices that work for me and I'm having a TOUGH time. Let me tell you what I have, I have a V2 battery with the clear empty cartridges for ejuice. I've tried Bonair Vanilla Banana and that one is pretty good. I've tried 4 menthols so far and all taste chemically and perfume like and just yucky. I'm a Basic Menthol Ultra Light Smoker and I'm trying to find a couple flavors that I can use. I noticed with the reg V2 cartridges it left a yucky dehydrated feeling in my mouth and that is why I'm trying to find an e juice. My questions are:

1. If I don't like the dehydrated feeling does that mean I need a VG juice vs a PG juice?
2. I read something about steeping your ejuice... will that help the menthols? One of the menthols I tried was Halo's and I didn't like it. Tasted alcohol ish. If I'm supposed to steep them, how do I do that.
3. With the V2 clear empty cartridges can I rinse them out and put another juice in it? I don't want to have to buy new ones everytime I try a new flavor Gets expensive!!

Any help appreciated. I am figuring if I can find an ejuice or juices I like and use the V2 more regularly instead of the analogs, then I can buy a better e cig (maybe an Ego or whatever)

VG won't dehydrate you. PG does, so you have to drink a lot if you vape mainly PG.

Steeping (everyone has their own technique lol) but a popular way is leaving it uncapped for 24-48 hrs. and then put cap back on & leave it in a dark place, shaking it daily, for about a week.

Not familiar with V2 cartridges, sorry.
Hope this helps though. Welcome to vaping!

Try menthol ice to get away from the vicks inhaler-type menthol. Biggest piece of advice I can give you is to DIY - http://www.ecigexpress.com/diy-supplies-c-43

Hi there - and welcome!

I'm too much of a newb to answer most of your questions, but I did want to say that juice is very subjective! Never having been a menthol smoker (well, a few times - 25 years ago!!), I thought I'd be a total sweets/desserty type - nope, not at all. Turns out I like fruits and anything peppermint - Peppermint blast from HHV's and Peppermint Taffy from Deej being my top juices - I can (and do) vape them all day. So, when starting out, go for sample packs and experiment - you just can't really assume what is going to work best for you. When I tried other flavors, I was still smoking more than vaping - since finding what works, I haven't picked up a cig in 3 days.

As for cleaning, if they are similar to a clearo then yes you can (there are even video's on YouTube showing you how). But, more experienced vapers will be along to fill you on all of that.

Good luck!!

ok thank you I will look into all of that. I did open some of the sample bottles and they smell really strong like alcohol, so I will let them air out

Hi - you can call those clearomizers - clearos for short. And you really never know how an e-liquid will turn out. I had never tried a liquor flavor before, but I won some buttered rum in a contest. When I opened the package it smelled really strong (!) like a bottle of Bacardi Dark had broken inside. I left it steep with the top off for over a week+. The smell lessened, but it was still strong. I was scared to try it - thinking it would be harsh. It turned out to be very smooth, subtle flavor. Weird.
