Initial Impressions:

The generic boxes and bottle labels are somewhat bothersome. Even the menthol had the same box and label as the peach and the watermelon. All with pictures of strawberry and peach and labeled "fruit". It seems like it would make for excessive mistakes on the distributing AND the consumer end.

I really like the shape of the cap, easy to grip and spin for those of us with dexterity issues. I really like the smoked color of the bottles, I think it will be good for protecting juice from the light, plus it is different. I like the length, diameter, and stiffness of the nozzle. I dislike that the nozzle doesn't appear readily removable, because what if I feel the need to doctor the flavor.

Flavor impressions to come when sinuses clear a bit. May try menthol first.

The nozzle tip doesn't come off ? So you couldn't wash that bottle and use it a couple times ?

It MIGHT come off, but it won't do so readily like the liqua nozzles do. I gently rocked it and it didn't move. Since the bottle is still full I didn't want to force the issue and end up another depressing e-juice eye injury statistic (that is actually one of my 2013 New years resolutions, no e-juice eye injuries THIS year).

However, once I finish the first bottle, I'll play with it. Because this nozzle is SUPERB for filling stardusts.

That's what it looked like it could be to me it would be great for the duster fill ups :) that's why I was wondering. Thanks Erin

Norman, Ok
Mine should be here tomorrow... not sure if I can mess with them at work or not, or will have to wait until the evening... just depends on how busy I get. I ordered menthol and all tobaccos along with some shorty carto's.... The 18mg is 3x what I normally vape ( 6mg ) but I don't have to vape it all in one sitting either

slide you fingernail or thin knife right in that crack above the cap threads.

Menthol Flavor

This is a lightly sweetened, aggressively minty flavor. However it is a fresh minty spearmint like flavor that is NOT scopey. However, I wouldn't remotely call it a "menthol". It tastes much more like Wrigley's Double Mint Gum.

This flavor was tested in a stardust with a brand new 2.8 head that was pre dry burned, on my brand new Vision Vamo. Vapor production was really quite good even all the way down at 3.0 watts, and even produced rather impressive denser "stringy" vapor amidst the over all plume. Lots of juice produces a broad even plume of vapor that quickly disperses. This produces a more variegated vapor that hangs longer, more reminiscent of traditional cigarettes. I was pretty impressed by the vapor quality, as it was noticeable...and for lack of a better word, fun. To put it a different way, I was actually able to blow vague "smoke rings" with this, and most juices I cannot. I tested this from 3 watts to 10, and flavor remained good throughout with none of the burnt foliage sensation/flavor I've noticed with other menthol and mint flavors at higher voltages. I'm sure you could increase the watts with stable flavor. However, I'm not a high voltage/wattage vaper so thats all my throat could tolerate.

Final Words: This flavor gets an Alpha Approval from me...as a flavor. However, I would NOT market it, label it, or sell it as a "menthol", I think you'll get the kind of complaints people write about various menthol juice all over the web. It would be poor form, IHMO, to put this in the same category as Menthol Mania (which I love and miss), by labeling it "menthol". Instead I suggest changing the name to something that more accurately reflects its flavor profile. I'm sure Double Mint is trade marked, but something that evokes that would be right on the money.

Yeah, I'll certainly be trying once the bottle is safe and empty. But it is going to require something super fine like a razor blade. My finger nail won't even go into the crack. It is a very well put together bottle.

I cant wait to fill my stardusters, :D thank you Erin <3...

And I'm super excited to be FIRST, first first first first FIRST (can you tell I like to be first ;) ) to review :D
