I just might have to try squonking when the hot summer weather returns and my bottom coil tanks start gurgling again. Right now in this cool weather they're vaping very well :)
If you do....you'll wonder why you waited so long. It's a vape made in heaven....IMHO

I just got a kayfun lite v2 clone and thought the same thing :D I'm sure the squonker is good since it's like a dripper with a bottle, right? I have a cheap plume veil clone and it had great flavor but the messiest thing I ever used lol. My nautilus mini's with vertical cotton coils are reliable and decent flavor, my KFL beats them though :)

Most Menthol is extracted from plants. I wouldnt worry too much, it's a single substance, not a complex mixture.
Much like salt is salt, Menthol is Menthol.

some menthol tastes more like mint to me

I usually get my nic from ecigexpress or mfs. I did get a sample from nude nicotine. Their nic is clean as in zero taste. I prefer ecigexpress.

I've been getting mine from ecigexpress lately. I like it and I like that I can get a big quantity of the nic mg I like. I don't want to mix at all. I also like NN.

I've been vaping unflavored 99% of the time for about 3 1/2 yrs. once in a while I'll add a drop of flavor (just because I still have some) when I drip. I had such a hard time finding flavors I liked and if I did find one it wasn't long before I didn't like it anymore. so I tried and (thankfully) loved unflavored.

I buy the highest strength eliquid I can get and dilute it 10 to 1 with vg+10% water;

sometimes I just mix a batch of vg+water and add a few drops of flavoured eliquid for taste.

After vaping such low levels of flavouring for months, strong flavors are pretty overpowering.

Same here. When I would find a Tobacco Flavor that I liked (I've pitched more than I have used) I would be able to vape about 300mL on average, then It was back to looking for something else. I have NEVER Vaped Sweets, Fruits, Danish or any of that stuff, never even interested me AT ALL. I know guys, I'm weird, but after 52 years of tobacco usage (Cigarettes, Cigars, Pipe's, RedMan Chewing Tobacco, Dip, and even Plug) I think I'm permanently Damaged !!! It's been OVER a year since my last Tobacco Product and I still eat the same thing my family eats and everyone agrees on the taste, except for me, and sometimes I'm WAY OFF. Does that sound normal ? I don't remember what things tasted like before I started smoking, cause I started when I was 12 years old. It's either Unflavored, or Unflavored/Menthol, and that's it.

Since starting back to work I have simplified my juice making by just making unflavored and making up a bottle with a slight menthol..

Have to admit I like it! I was getting carried away before and making lots of different flavors but just don't have the time anymore. I look at it this way I smoked the same tasting cigarettes for over 20 years and was fine with it...

    Same here, even after all the time I've been vaping. But nicely my smell picked up quickly and even after just quitting I was able to smell the best Springtime in a long while.

    I'd think that we unflavored users are experiencing better times eating in general given that we don't have our tastebuds clogged up with flavors, or worse, vaporstongue.

    I've had a head cold for the past 10 days and it seems most of my flavored vapes just irritate my sinuses right now. I love them, but can't really enjoy them. It seems the only thing that doesn't irritate them is my unflavored with a few drops of menthol.

    I get MBV 12mg 50/50 Unflavored. Can anyone tell a difference between that and the ecigexpress brand ? Taste the Same, Better, or Worse ? There is a BIG difference in price, I just saw that (and that's why I ask). Thanks for your input.

    I don't know the difference between them, but if you bought concentrated nicotine (100mg), you can buy your own PG and VG and make your own unflavored for pennies per ml. My 30ml bottles I throw together probably costs around 50 cents to produce, if that.

    I hear Ya, I have been teeter'in between that and just getting the pre-mix (50/50/12mg) for months now, and I am STILL not positive as to what I'm going to do (in the mean time I have been getting pre-mix, less mess). Plus, Some days I can be a real Tard.

    For Reals. Funny how that worked Beautifully for All of us, for sooo Looong isn't it ?

    Edit: I am surprised that I like the slight Menthol added to my Unflavored as much as I do. I didn't really see that coming.

    Boy Howdy did I ever get a BAD case of Vapors Fatigue a little while back. My Pepsi (canned or bottled) even tasted Sour. It was Bad.

    Well, sort of unflavored, maybe 2-5% in it which I could only taste the first few puffs of the day...

    I bought tonnes of 24mg when I first started vaping to stock up, withing a few weeks I upgraded my hardware and could only handle 12mg, few weeks after that I went subohm rta and could only handle 6mg with higher VG and started buying that...

    Money was tight and going through 10ml a day was getting expensive at brick and mortar shops, decided looking into DIY, started getting ready to order stuff, filling carts and was going to order my next paycheck, opened my drawer to get some cotton looked at the 12-13 or so 30ml bottles of between 12 and 24 mg I had and thought, well why don't I just add some VG to these, found a local pharmacy that stocks 100ml VG for 3$.

    I did the 12mg first only had 3 of those, wasn't too bad, they were 50/50 so mixed them down to 75/25, after sitting for a couple days some of the flavor actually came back.

    Next I did the 18mg again only 2, mixed it down 6mg, flavor started getting really muted, but hey the clouds were nice so I went through it... Flavor never really came back...

    Finally I did the 24mg had about 8 bottles of this, mixed it down to 6mg, flavor is pretty much gone...

    I basically turned 13 bottles in 40 with no flavor lol, still have about 10 or so I use to pre-soak coils etc or if I just feel like blowing clouds :D

    Wow just hit myself with a wall of text lol.

    anyways I can't go over 7 maybe 8% flavor anymore, I do vape unflavored if I know I'll be needing to stealth vape though lols and if I do buy it from a B&M shop I now buy 12mg and mix it down before I vape it.
