This is going to be a juice that I will have to keep at least 60ml, double strength, on my shelf at all times. Not necessarily to vape it by itself, which is wonderful, but to add to any other juice that is missing a certain something.

I got the Virginia w/ menthol, and it was good. But then I added some Menthol Ultra to it, and it became awesome. In fact, it now tastes almost exactly like my old favorite Virginia Slims Light Menthol or Misty Light Menthol.

I've added it to several other flavors that were good for me but still not excellent for my particular tastes and it has improved everything I've added it to. Now, I know what "flavor splash" to ask for when I try many of the other flavors at FSUSA. It's a fresh and cooling menthol without being mediciney. This is the very sensation that I grieved over losing when I quit smoking years ago and took up the habit again because that longing never went away. Now I can vape it!

I quit smoking analogs 4 days ago, BTW. Piece of cake! I didn't even feel the urge for an analog at a family BBQ on Sunday, even though I was surrounded by smokers. I'm still amazed.

Thank you FSUSA!!

Congrats :)

Might I add that I knew you would say that....that menthol ultra is for sure a mixing menthol :)

I cleaned up on mints and menthols with the Father's Day discount, Maureen. I think there are only two or three that I don't have at least a sample of yet. You were dead-on right about the Menthol Ultra! Must.Have.BIG.Bottle! ;)

Was doublemint gum on that list?

It was! I am letting that one age some more. I am picking up a hint of juicy-fruit in it. Kinda like a mint flavor over juicy fruit gum. I like both mint and juicy fruit gum but I don't care too much for the fruity vapes. I'm going to try it again after it ages a bit and my taste buds recover more from smoking and see what it tastes like to me then.

A big surprise for me was that I did like the peppermint patty. I've been a little on the fence about the chocolates - again, acknowledging the possible need for aging and allowing for taste bud recovery - so I didn't think I would be enthusiastic over that one, but actually really like it for a change of pace.

Candy Cane, right now I am detecting a kinda of cinnamony tone in. I'm going to save that one to see if I pick that up in it later. Recovering taste buds can do some really weird things in the process. :laugh:

Limbermint was really intriguing. I think I may really like that one a lot once it ages. Minted Water was another that I thought I wouldn't like, but I do. It's great for clearing other flavors out of the atty, too. Trying to remember what else I got... Oh, Mojito! I think I will like that one when it ages. Another intriguing flavor. I do want to get the Thin Mint Cookie and the lemon-mint vape...can't remember it's name, Lemon Ice maybe...and try those next month. I've blown my budget this month already. LOL!

I don't think anything tasted normal for the first 30 days after I quit completely....

Even worse...I've smoked more cigs this week than I'd like to admit, but the plus is that I didn't enjoy them.....not like I used to....

Ten days without an analogue cigarette and I am certain the only way I'll ever smoke again is if the powers-that-be do something stupid to make e-juice illegal.

About 12 years ago, I quit smoking for 6 months. I started smoking again because I never got over the depression of losing my cigarettes. The interesting thing is that within a month of quitting, I became highly sensitive to cigarette smoke. My eyes would start looking bloody and run like I'd been diving in onion juice, my color would go very pale, my cheeks would flush and I would feel like I'd been hit with a bad case of the flu. Well, we had family here for Father's Day this weekend and my bedroom has always been the designated smoking area, since the family patriarch and matriarch don't smoke. It's started again. Not yet full blown, but the bloodshot, running eyes and sore throat have already kicked in. I thought I was getting an upper respiratory infection, but the symptoms were gone by this morning after all the smokers vacated last evening. If the sensitivity gets back to the flu-like level, they're gonna have to start smoking outside. I don't really want to do that if it can be helped but I'm not going to spend what amounts to 4-6 days out of every month feeling like I have the flu. Neither of my non-smoking parents have a reaction to smoke that is that bad. I remember both my sister and my mom had scoffed when I told them about the reactions I was having to cigarette smoke when I quit smoking before. Then my mom treated my sister and I to a shopping spree at a local indoor flea market that allowed smoking inside for our birthdays and they witnessed the reaction for themselves. My mom couldn't get over how bad it was, because I had been smoking for about 20 years at that time. Weird.

Okay, new favorite! I had never, ever smoked Marlboros. Don't think I've ever even had a single puff off one in my life. I did order the Maxboro Menthol on one of my orders, but really didn't care for it. A couple of days ago, it occurred to me to spike it with the Menthol Ultra so it wouldn't go to waste. WOW! I vaped through 10 ml. of it over the weekend. It's all gone now. That is the first bottle of e-liquid that I've completely emptied. By this evening my Peppermint Pattie will be gone too. I'm down to rationing the Menthol Ultra, trying not to run out of it before the end of the month.

So, I've now experienced my first honest-to-goodness cravings for an e-liquid: the Peppermint Pattie and, really bad, for the Maxboro Menthol spiked with Menthol Ultra!

Sorry to hear about the reaction to cigs. I am rationing my Menthol Ultra too, I tried the Maxboro with Ultra too, and it is not too bad. I am going to try the New/Port one next. I have not been ordering the tobacco flovors for me though, my husband like them. I have tried all of them and they are not as bad as i thought they would be. Since I was always a menthol cig person, I want to try the New/Port one and getting a big bottle of Ultra too.

I had to order a 120 of gummy bear....reminds me of the smell I get when I walk into that candy store on the boardwalk in Atlantic City.....

I hadn't smoked menthols in about 20+ years, but when I started quitting I moved into menthol mode....now I'm stuck on doublemint gum.. :)
I ordered some gummy bear and I like it but can't vape it all day, sorry to disappoint you. It is nice for a liitle while, want to try the doublemint, it sounds good. My favs so far are Thinn Mint and the Ultra, Coffee X and Hazelnut mix, don't know what it is but it is addicting.

No need to be sorry....gummybear has a kick that I really like....but it's only for when I'm not vaping doublemint gum at the moment...although I have a feeling that when I try vanilla extreme I'm going to have issues and decisions to make....
