Hey yall, newer to vaping anything other than disposables. so some questions. i bought two juices. cereal slam by slam juice and arctic menthol by juice head. Two very different juices cereal slam says i cant use it with sub ohm likely because its 30mg/ml which is whatever. my issue now is. i just now saw it says i cant use it with sub ohm devices *ima be real I HAVE NO IDEA what sub ohm means. so *

anyways i also bought a lil pod system with the two juices. The vaporesso xros 5 mini. Can i use cereal slam with this device or no?

Also another lil question. Best menthol vape juices? not mint, not fruitty menthol, not flavored menthol, just straight up menthol like im hitting a cigarette flavor i stg everywhere i look i just get watermelon ice, pineapple ice, or spearmint. i just want... authentic menthol like the vuse alto menthol

If you have recently quit or trying to quit smoking the 30mg will probably be okay in a mouth to lung setup. Just don't use sub-ohm coils (any coil under 1.0). Another option is to add some vg and/or pg to the 30mg juice to dilute the nic. As far as a menthol juice just Google it. If you are unfamiliar with the site just ask here at ecf or ask for links.

If a true pod system, you can use sub ohm pods with high nic, just can’t use a glass sub ohm tank with replaceable coils. Small mouthpiece should be your indicator if safe to use high nic.
I run 55mg nic in a .4 ohm qpod from geekvape. If I were to do the same with a true subohm tank I’d be sick after 2 hits, but can chain vape with a qpod at .4.
So you will know if you can or can’t real quick haha.

30mg/ml is high, but it could be a salt juice where the weight of the entire salt is measured. So I don’t know if it is effectively the same as 30mg/ml of actuall unprotonated or not. In theory it should be just the weight of the actual nic portion but it might not be.

What I would do is try a few drops. Just wet the wick with it. It won’t kill you but you could cough a lot. I vaped 20mg/ml of unprotonated for years. (That ‘freebase’ term has very very bad connotations. Freebase ....... is also just called ‘freebase’ and is only sort of even accurate. It has to have been thought up by a spindoctor. I won’t use it. It actually makes me angry.) if it is a real 30mg/ml it’s a lot. It may need to be used in one of those old MTL atties with tiny coils like a Russian.

30mg salts = 30mg freebase
Usually, but sometimes not. I hate the word freebase. It’s a term for a very dangerous drug. I’m actually surprised it doesn’t get auto edited. . A marketing ploy the salts sellers managed to insert into standard language because it makes it sound bad and dangerous. I consider it actually safer. It’s just about the worst word possible

It’s the stuff that set Richard Pryor on fire. A terrible association.

Yeah, your XROS 5 Mini is completely fine for that juice

“Sub ohm” just means a device or coil under 1.0 ohm that runs hotter and produces bigger clouds. High strength nic salts like 30mg are usually NOT recommended for powerful sub ohm setups because the nicotine hit gets insanely strong really fast.

Your XROS is basically made for nic salts and beginner friendly vaping, especially with the 0.8 or 1.0 pods.

So you’re good to use:
  • Cereal Slam 30mg
  • Arctic Menthol
Just take smaller puffs at first because 30mg can sneak up on you if you’re coming from disposables

As for straight menthol, I completely get what you mean. Everything now is “Blueberry Ice Nuclear Slush Unicorn” lol.

A few menthols people still seem to recommend for that clean cigarette style hit:

  • Naked 100 Polar Breeze
  • Halo SubZero
  • Menthol by Juice Head
  • Vuse Alto Menthol honestly still has one of the most cigarette-like menthol profiles
You’ll probably want something more icy/cooling rather than minty or sweet.

My favorite flavor name remains “ your mom”
I kinda want to do a graphic for “naked 100 polar breeze” though. I once took out the trash at -100f with windchill (straight thermometer temp was -40) in nothing but a bathrobe and I had to work the doorknob with the heels of my hands because my fingers were already totally numb.
