Hello, I saw a few mentions of this in threads about vsvapor in general, but after enjoying this juice for a week I thought it might warrant a review, especially for my fellow ex-menthol smokers out there.

I'm still new to this, so my quest for the perfect menthol hasn't become epic. I would almost say the search ends here for me. My analogue of choice was Marlboro Milds. Didn't really like Marlboro tobacco, but I liked the balance between between tobacco and menthol. Qualitatively I can't compare Seattle to the Mild, because I'm sure a Mild might taste like sucking on a tailpipe right after a good listerine rinse now, but quantitatively, its there! Definitely the effervescent feel and taste of menthol at first, but quickly followed by a bold taste of tobacco.

If menthol is your thing, I highly recommend Seattle. This will definitely be a regular for me. I'm looking forward to trying their Frost as well.

Great to see a review like this, pretty much exactly what VS describes this liquid as. Didn't start on menthols but I got into them in a big way right before I saw the light and switched to vaping.

First Newports, when those got too expensive it was Camel Crush or Camel Light Menthols. Never had a Marlboro Mild but I imagine it's close to a Smooth, which I never purchased yet enjoyed the occasional handout.

I've tried menthol flavors from at least half a dozen vendors and while good, I've missed the tobacco backdrop. Mentha from Vapor Talk has been one of the few with a great tobacco mix, but it's prohibitively expensive (and only recently available in bottles larger than 10mL).

Really excited to try this juice, I'll be going to pick it up first thing in the morning along with bottle of VS4. I'll post back here with my thoughts.

I got 10ml of Frost over the weekend, and I did enjoy it. After hearing a few mentions that it was "menthol-ier" I was expecting something similar to Dekang menthol which (to me) has no tobacco quality. Not quite the case with Frost. There's definitely a tobacco quality to it, still, but in a much smaller proportion. In fact, vaping it back to back with Seattle I'd almost say its the same flavors, just heavier on the menthol. I'll have to try one, cleanse the pallet, and then the other to give a fair assessment, though.

Overall I think I prefer Seattle of the two; but I can see the opposite case for folks who preferred very mentholated analogues. Both are very good menthols, and both still have that tobacco backdrop.

Dang, this stuff is really good! Even the first few drags which half tasted of Dekang RY4 were good, but now I'm just getting the Vapor Station and damn. Just DAMN.

Best tobacco/menthol I've ever tasted. Amazing vapor production. I'm getting what people are saying about VS, their flavors are so perfectly layered and have no artificial harshness to them that most of the Chinese juices have.

The only complaint I have for VS are the glass bottles. While high quality (and brown to block UV), they don't include a dropper of any kind. If not for the fact that I've been vaping up the last year and have quite a collection of empty 10ml bottles, I would have been hard pressed to use this juice today.

I can't wait to try the VS4 but this Seattle is so good...I don't know if I can put it down today.

edit:

Also wanted to note I stepped down from 24mg to 16mg on this juice order, and I'm still getting a decent buzz. Either my 24mg from other vendors was mislabeled or this is truly 16mg, good stuff.
