Which is kind of weird considering I was a menthol smoker for the last 10 years. When I got into vaping which was still pretty recently, this is what I expected I would use, so I stocked up. I'm sitting on about 80ml of menthol juices that I feel like I wasted my money on which are Halo Subzero and Mystic as well as Snow Day from Mister Eliquid.

I'm vaping Mystic at the moment for a while just so I can kill some of this juice and while I don't hate it, I think I would rather be vaping the Captain Jack I just bought or perhaps finish off my last tank of Voodoo.

I just find it crazy that I am vaping the exact opposite of what I smoked. About the only kind of menthol I enjoy are the Menthol Ice flavors from Mister E. But these are much more fruity then they are minty.

If nothing else, keep your menthol liquids for times when you're sick or stuffy. Another option is to use it in liquids that are "meh" and could use a little kick.
I quit a 17-year menthol habit and I thought that straight menthol liquids were the way to go, but really they didn't taste like anything to me and I got tired of them quickly. Mr. E was my vendor for the first few months before I discovered DIY and their ice line has it spot on.... Good flavor with a menthol kick.
I still use menthol in all of my mixes, but it's not in-your-face strong, just enough to lighten up the mix.
I'm sure you will still be able to find a place for your menthols in rotation (or addition) with your new favorites.

I detested menthol cigs, and yet menthol became my ADV for about 4 years until I switched to unflavored this past year. I still have about 300ml of Halo Menthol Ice.

Same here! If it wasn't a Marlboro Red I didn't want it between my lips, period. Then I tried Rawr(Roar) Vapor's Serum line back when they came with menthol by default, and I never went back to non-menthol. Now, I vape unflavored with 4% menthol.

Don't worry you didn't waste money. Those menthol flavors are definite keepers. As someone already said, they work great with mild illnesses such as stuffy nose or allergies. Though I'd avoid them in use with anything serious such as a sore throat where the Nicotine can irritate or prolong the symptoms. Menthol also works as a great way to speed through vapers tongue in my limited experiences.

I've also noticed that the menthol ejuices are acquired taste. I was a former menthol smoker, and I didn't enjoy the juices I had till I pushed through around 40-50mL.
