I think this is going to sound dumb, and I'll try my best to explain...I am a menthol smoker, and so far i have not found a menthol juice that I like, or that I like enough to keep me off analogs...the real problem is that I find the flavor goes away pretty fast, which causes me to drip again, which leads to flooding/ leaking...has anyone else been through this or have any suggestions? I would like to move away from menthol and have tried other flavors, but nothing seems to be doing the trick...maybe a lime flavor or other citrus? Chocolate mint? what say you??? Also, unrelated, where on here do I go to sell my vapemate? thanks so much in advance, just trying to make this work!!

My first week of vaping I found that a menthol VAPE actually gave me that feeling that I had just had a smoke. I NEVER smoked menthols, but for some reason that vapor just did it for me.
I wasn't dripping myself, but I ALWAYS ended up leaking everywhere, I constantly was overtopping my carts, same thing as you. I just wanted to get the most flavor that I could. I found that my favorite way to VAPE was with a Joye 510 Mega atomizer/cart. I had 4 of them from my first purchase of a Joye 510Mega. I went on in my first week to order a Joye Ego clone, but that origional atty/cart I found to work better. Mainly because it held TWICE the amount of juice as a normal cart. So that is my experience with keeping the flavor, it would keep the flavor sometimes up to an hour with out me having to refill. Other times not even for 5 mi urea. It's just the nature of the beast. Today I received my first "Tank" atty/cart. I ordered them last week, and so far I love it. EVERY hit is perfect. Never have to worry about the taste going away.
I also took a small 5ml container and tried mixing my own flavors like a few drops of Newport, a few of chocolate, a few camel, and just barely some waffle.
Well good luck! I have to run

Alot of menthol vapers....including me, have gotten better menthol satisfaction with
the addition of cinnamon in juice.
I use Pure Smokers...Fire and Ice....it's a menthol and cinnamon mix. By itself...way
too much for me. I take and mix 50/50 with a tobacco flavor juice and it's near perfect
for me. Here is a master coupon list for vendor discounts. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...iscussion/146219-coupon-code-master-list.html
Menthol is not easy...I have tried alot.
Also menthol smokers are use to more of a "throat hit". The addition of cinnamon seems
to help that.
Alot of menthol vapers, like me...also went up to a 3.7 unit and added LR cartos/attys.
That REALLY helped with the throat hit.
Hope this helps and happy vaping!

I've been mixing arctic ice 100%pg with orange @ 20% vg,Vapor Bomb. I've got menthol crystals on the way from ebay and I plan on adding that in the mix too. Because of my iron menthol throat, I've been adding Qhit which was generously given to me by someone @ ECF. There is a classified forum here you can swap or sell what you don't want.

I was also a smoker of menthols, 3 to 3.5 PAD. I second the use of cinnamon -- it really helps.

I ordered a 1/4oz. of menthol crystals from MyFreedomSmokes, dissolved it in 15ml of PG. Adding one drop of that to five drops of RY4 does it for me. I've read where people advocate using it 1to1 but that would leave me completely breathless.

+3 for Cinnamon.

What did it for me was when my order of cinnabomb and fire & ice arrived - 24mg, from VaporBomb. I smoked Marlboro smooths (chain smoking 1/2 a cig every 10-15 mins).

Another thing I like to do is add tastyfinger (from Tastyvapor) to my menthol atomizer to give it a chocolate menthol flavor. The Tastyfinger does not, imo, taste like its namesake - more like a tootsie roll. However, it has a ton of flavor.

I ordered some menthol crystals last night to add to some juice that just isn't strong enough. It hasn't arrived yet, but I've read a lot of good things about them on this forum and it's something you could look into for giving your juice some extra oomph!

Good luck :)

Just to add my 2 cents here, I agree with other posters who say that cinnamon is an awesome addition to make any great menthol FANTASTIC! I got some cinnamon today from AwesomeVapor and put it in with the menthol I already had, 50/50, and it's my new favorite vape.

I have some Fire and Ice coming from Vapor Bomb as well, which is basically the same thing already all mixed together.

One of my all day vapes is Tasty Vapor Tobacco/Menthol. TV macerates the tobacco for a week, also you can say you want a stronger menthol taste if you want.

TV tobacco menthol is what helped me stay off cigs in the beginning. I still keep it around for those days I need a smoke.

Throwing my .02 here as well. I've said this before (and I don't mean to sound like a fanboy), but puresmoker's tonic minthia fierce is my all day everyday vape. Hits just like a strong menthol analog: (Kool, Camel crush-ed, etc.)

BTW:I use a plain 'ol ego with a drip tip and a standard resistance atty.

The freedomsmoke stuff has me intrigued, I've never tried it. The nic content goes high enough, but I don't think I'd like the mandatory 50/50 vg-pg mix. I like my stuff higher on the pg side... any further praises/comments?
