My dad won't vape unless there is a juice that tastes like you're smoking a menthol cigarette. I have been on there search and have tried all kinds of tobacco and "cigarette" flavored juices but none of them taste like you're smoking a menthol cigarette. He has tried all my juices and hates them all so anything other than smoke flavor is out of the question. I need recommendations, I just can't find this on my own; Is there a juice out there that tastes like you're smoking a menthol cigarette??? Please and thank you.

My parents had to accept the fact that there is very little chance that the flavor of combustion can be replicated through vapor. Maybe a crappy wicking system that constantly gives dry hits, but that's not an acceptable solution, as at some point combustion can occur. Basically, you're going to have to put your foot down for your Dad's sake and break the news that although the smoke flavor isn't there, the vapor has the potential to give him a healthier life. Get him a couple flavors that have absolutely no resemblence to menthol or tobacco.

I make my parents a DIY menthol that is over the top with menthol percentage and that's all it took, as they were former Salem smokers.

If he's resisting due to refusal to quit smoking, your efforts to find an acceptable flavor are pointless.

i have a friend whos brother inlaw is the same. every setup and juice we threw at him "its not a cigarette, it has no taste, it feels like air." ego setups at 1.8ohms usualy with juices ranging from 12mg to 24mg


i got upgraded for christmas, and he took a toot. coughed up a lung and said that was "unexpectedly real"


istick at 20W with a 1.4-1.5ish coil on an erl mini :) same juice hes ben hittin before, just now 6MG instead of the 12 i was on.



it might not be the juice. juice can only go so far. what devices have you thrown at him?

I was never a menthol smoker, but I believe menthol is easier to replicate than just plain cigarettes. If you have a vape shop nearby, I would recommend a trip with your dad to sample flavors.

menthol is alot easier to replicate/make good, than tobacco flavorings.

Funny. I was a menthol smoker since high school also (1974). Just dawned on me...it's called high school.....that's what I was most of the time...LOL...Anyhow..I had the same attitude when I started this ecig thing 4 years ago. Give me menthol or give me death....(what ever). Well......now... since I started messing with all the flavors about 2 years ago....menthol?.....what's that?...So...my point is....it's time to change they're underwear also....uhhhh....hope not...:laugh:

I didn't smoke menthol, either, but have found a juice that very closely resembles a "regular" cigarette in flavor. I suppose you could try various mix percentages of it with a menthol juice to come up with a menthol cig flavor.

Anyway, the juice I'm referring to Bright Leaf by Redtail Vapor.

It's a bit more expensive than some other juices, because it has WTA (Whole Tobacco Alkaloids) in it. Those are alkoloids that really help with the cravings for some when just plain nicotine isn't enough. That might help with your dad's cravings as well.

As stated before, though, he might just be using the flavor issue as an excuse not to quit. If so, nothing will help until he wants to quit.
