Good to know washvap. Do I just let it sit in the bottle or do I have to leave it open? Dumb question I know, I've never steeped any juices before.

It's not a dumb question at all. When I got into vaping, I didn't know what the hell people meant when they steeped juices. Can't truly learn anything without asking questions IMO. Anyways, there's a lot of methods when it comes to steeping but, I'll cover two of the most popular methods.

You can either leave the top off of the bottle and shake it every few days or so (with the cap on obviously). What I do is just leave it there to basically age like some wine. Both methods will require you to leave it in a cool dark place. Such as a cupboard, drawer, or anything that's similar.

Thanks a lot washvap, I'll try it again in a month and let you know.

My three favorites would be:

3. Vapor Station - Seattle (tastes like Marlboro Smooth's)

You have NO IDEA how happy you have just made me. :) I just ordered this 2 days ago and am waiting on its arrival but Ive been on the hunt for a vape that tastes just like marb smooths as thats what I used to smoke a pack a day of. If you are right, I will be ordering a bunch of this juice to have on reserve :)

Thank you!

I guess I will but my 2cents into what are my favorite menthol vapes. Iv tried a lot and iv narrowed mine down to 4

V4L- Wow Nuport- has nice earthy mellow tobacco with a strong menthol kick- not really sweet.
V4L- Wow Smilin Special Menthol, different mellow tobacco flavor, moderately sweet, and clean menthol but not too much
V4L- Wow Peppermint- What can i say sweet peppermint flavor.
Virginia Menthol from Vaporbomb. This is the most unique menthol tobacco vape i have had, its more of liked a candied tobacco. Mellow and sweet, and of course with some menthol in there. Its my all day vape and I never get tired of it. I let mine steep for about a week or so. If you want a more in depth flavor steep it longer. I think this is one of the most overlooked juices. It is similiar to backwoods brew but with more of a earthy tone, and stronger in flavor, with menthol so if you like BWB i think u would like it.

Forgot to mention that you have to let BWB juices steep. Since it takes a bit of time for the flavor to come in. Remember when I first tried the tobacco menthol and it was fairly weak. About a month later I tried it again and was very surprised on how much it had improved. And yes, it is one of the downfalls of juices from BWB.

Yup, that is true! It didn't taste like much at first, I put it away for awhile (cap on) but after 3 weeks it tastes great.

I know it sounds silly but I have found V2's peppermint (18mg nic) to have a very cool rush, strong TH, and nice buzz. It's pricey though, at about $0.76 per ml. Has anyone found something that mimics this well? I tried peppermint from vaporescence, but it's NOT the same. The V2's juice is 100% VG, which helps the TH and nic delivery. I thought about dekang juice, but doublemint sounds more like a wintergreen twist, which is what I don't want. Just pure peppermint. Any suggesions?

Received Seattle in mail yesterday,

I have to disagree with washvape as this stuff tastes nothing like a marb smooth. In fact I can't even taste a tobacco base. I can smell it but it does no come through in te taste. Jut tastes like a stick of gum to me.

Oh well. I'm still gonna vape the whole thing.

Did you ever try nhalers menthol? I love his nuport and 555 menthol.

Who is V2?

I've heard good things about Vapor 4 Life peppermint but I have never tried it. Dekang menthol isn't bad. It's what you'd expect, a tiny bit of tobacco with menthol. Not good, not bad.

V2 is an 808 style starter kit e-cig company, really trying to 'manhandle' the market to newbies. V2cigs.com is the website. They're actually decent 808 cigs, but I've moved on from 'starter' sets like these. They sell e-liquid as well. I'll look at vapor 4 life liquids...thanks for the info. Also, I like straight up peppermint, not menthol, because menthol has that tobacco aspect to it. Just lookin' around for info!!!

Caveat: I'm not a huge menthol vaper.

Vaportalk's Mentha blows my head off. No mint, no tobacco flavor to me - just seems like pure menthol. Very crisp, clean, and MENTHOL.

One of these days I'm going to try Intellicig's Ecopure menthol. I love their ecopure rich - the feel and vapor out of it is phenomenal. If you're looking for a PURE menthol juice, I imagine that would be up there if it's basically their ecopure base with menthol crystals.
