Newport regulars for over a decade, then Marlboro menthol lights since May, when I went off Chantix because it was making me insane. Weirdly enough, I have zero interest in menthol juices to vape.

Started with Malboro lights, then camels, lucky strikes, American Spirits, then Dunhills (would have stayed with American if they were easier to get here in Australia). Oddly enough I wasn't a fan of Menthols to begin with, I like the luckies which had the Menthol ball, I would use it at the end of the cig to get negate the Cig's after taste, but I do like my mint juice I'm vaping now
 
Used to smoke Camel Menthol Silvers or Marlboro Menthol Golds. I've read that Dekang Menthol is the best substitute for these two, and I have confirmed it! The cooling sensation on the back of your tongue is there and that's what I was missing. Stay away from Joye Menthol, strong and nasty! I purchased my Dekang Menthol from VaporCig.com, who luckily was local to me and saved me from going back to analogs, since the Joye Menthol I received with my eGo C kit was nasty! They list it as just Menthol, but she did tell me it was Dekang when I went to pick it up. If it helps any I did order 100% VG because I'm sure the taste would be different in another mix. The prices are in line with ECBlend.com with 10ml samples at $4.99, and I believe shipping is also $4.99 for your whole order.
 
I smoked camel nonfilters for most of my life. when cigarettes got too expensive i started rolling my own but that even got expensive after a while. my son gave me 1 of his extra batteries and some of the filter things and he has the country flavor from volt and it took me some time but Im really getting used to that now. I just need a weaker strength cause its strong even compared to a nonfilter cigarette. I think he said he got the highest nicotene strength they had so Im thinkin Ill try the next step down when I order my first refills of my own.
 
I smoked Marlboro Lights for 20 years.

Like everyone, the first Juice I bought was supposed to be like the ciggs (Ryan USA Mix 16mg nicotine). It was underwhelming, made me feel sick, did not replicate smoking Marlboro at all, and didn't stop me craving analogues.

Luckily I had ordered a second liquid, a 70% VG 22mg Hazel Nut. This seems to give me the nicotine to stop the cravings, but it feels like you are inhaling fresh air.

I've found that if I alternate between the two at a smoke break it removes the craving for an Anlogue completely. But I do have two vape for twice the time it would take to have an analogue.

Still waiting for my kit, but I smoke rolling tobacco atm, Drum / Amber leaf / Old Holborn etc, would like to find a tobacco e-juice that comes close, but until I get my kit I wont know, any suggestions? Just ordered American Red by T-Juice and Purple by Dekang. Hope they're good :p

The first thing anyone with experience is gonna tell you is that you won't find any juice that tastes like a cigarette. There are great tobacco juices, but none of them taste like cigs since they aren't on fire. The best thing to do is start getting samplers from different juice vendors, you'll be surprised by what ends up becoming your favorite.

I've been using Heather's Heavenly Vapes juice recently. They have some great tobacco juices (made from extracted tobacco) that have become my favorites. Their Gandalf and Pirate's Booty flavors are definitely worth a try, and it's worth getting samples of anything that sounds good. Just remember that tobacco won't taste like an analog, tobacco itself is naturally kinda sweet even though you don't taste that when you smoke.

They certainly sound fun :)
Unfortunately I can;t order juice from anywhere other than the EEA (EU) due to Norway's import rules :( *Sad Panda*
