Calling all menthol connoisseurs

[Jase]

Right, I am a menthol addict. It's my go to flavour 24/7/365.25!

I would love some e-juice brand suggestions from other like minded individuals out there as I have only vaped dekang, liqua and now hangsen. Hangsen gives me the best throat hit and satisfaction out of the three but being ever so curious and adventurous, I want to carry on exploring other menthol brands until I find that 'holy grail' of menthol flavours. I am seeking one that blows me over, the caviar of 'mentholness' (not that I enjoy fish eggs at all) and yes the one that will make me stop dead in my track and whisper in awe to myself 'Eureka!'.

So I call on fellow menthol lovers to provide me with some menthol brand selections and where to obtain them of course.

Dou you want/need to buy local or will you buy from overseas?

 

[Wesley]

Try Liqua Two Mints - I love it!

I've been told Craft Vapour's Polar Express and Matterhorn Menthol are very good.

Hi @Jase

Lovely thread

I don't think I am a "menthol addict" like you - but I also do like the refreshing nature of a mentholated vape from time to time.

For a pure menthol vape I would suggest you definitely try Vapour Mountain Menthol Ice - I have tried this and it's epic but a bit strong for me. @Oupa has made a winner here and I think many people love this juice.
My review is here: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/threads/vapour-mountain-juice-reviews.473/page-2#post-6668

There are several other menthol flavours from the local manufacturers, some of which have been mentioned above already.
Craft Vapour has Polar Express and Matterhorn Menthol. I have not tried them but if their other juices are anything to go by I would bet they are good.
SkyBlue Vaping has some recently added flavours that are very interesting on the menthol/mint side. I have not tried them either but intend to.

If you like mixing your menthol type vape with other flavours, give Craft Vapour Melon on the Rocks a try. I find that one is very good and very strong and has a lovely light green melon taste.

Another suggestion is get hold of Vapour Mountain's menthol concentrate. They sell them in little 10ml bottles. I have found that by adding a few drops of this into other fruity vapes it can transform them entirely. I think a menthol addict like you will love to have some of this concentrate handy.

Incidentally, other Menthol lovers I know of on the forum which may assist you in your future Menthol journey are @Rob Fisher , @Riaz and @yuganp

All the best and let us know how it goes

 

[Riaz]

hi @Jase

the best menthol you going to get is definitely from @Oupa (vapor mountain)

its called menthol ice

you will thank me after the first few puffs

 

[Rob Fisher]

The best Juice in the known Solar System is Vapour Mountain Menthol Ice! The bonus is you can add other concentrates to it for a change... the best option is Coconut and the result is nothing less than spectacular.

Others worth a mention are Matterhorn Menthol from Craft Vapour and for something different Thenancara's Antarctica available in France only and is Twenty Five Euro including shipping. But Antarctica is more eucalyptus than Menthol. I find a 50/50 Antarctica and Menthol Ice perfect!

I'm a little curious about this.. When we say "menthol" do we mean JUST menthol, or general minty flavours? I've noticed a clear difference between menthol, mint, spearmint etc. I'm guessing Oupa's Ice isn't just plain old menthol as well?

Only menthol with koolada! Thats it.

To me, menthol is very different from mint, but they do have some similarities. For me they are both refreshing and they tend to increase throat hit.

I find Mint to be sweeter and less of a shock to the taste buds and nasal passages.

Well that's kind of what I mean.. They all fall into a minty / mentholy category, much like fruits etc, but I've noticed my favoutire minty juices are blends of more than JUST menthol or one of the others.

 

[Al3x]

VM menthol Ice does it for me though a tad on the strong side so I mix 50/50 with a plain VGPG blend and add some concentrates to it as well
My flavors for this week is manderin, pineapple and litchi , but honestly goes with almost anything and gives it a nice fruity background, which is what my taste buds are craving at this moment
I just add about 10 drops of concentrate to a reo bottle (+-5ml)

 

[6ghost9]

As a menthol man myself I have tried my fair few. Up till now it has been Black box Mint candy, Vape Elixir Qualactin Hypermint, Skyblue Frostbite and a few others. The Skyblue has been the best menthol vape thus far! I had a few puffs once of the VM one but it was intense and havent yet placed an order. But go with VM if its pure freeze your brain stuff your looking for

 

[6ghost9]

Best way to describe Vapor Mountain menthol ice is with this.....

 

[johan]

@Jase I'm not a menthol addict, but do vape it from time to time. I agree with the previous posters, but your one question re TH - IMPO Craft Vapour's Matterhorn Menthol has the most intense throat hit.

 

[Rob Fisher]

Menthol Ice stock on the left and other juices on the right!

 

[Mike]

@Rob Fisher I'll never get used to how much you go through!!! Brilliant

 

[Riaz]

lets put it this way, Vm menthol ice will open holes you didnt know you had

 

[Rob Fisher]

I once split a bottle of Menthol Ice in my pool and this was the result!

They only arrived AFTER I spilled the bottle!

Thank you for all your input thus far! Work is just a bit busy at the moment but I will take the time to make a list (since I love lists) from all of the recommendations.

I am not restricted to local purchases but I do prefer to support local suppliers and then there is our wonderful postal service to consider as well. As for mixing my menthol, I have mixed some mint with it before and it was okay but I was once again restricted to Liqua Mint and Menthol. Looking at some of the recipes above, I might just experiment a bit although I am not fond of the fruits that I have tried before, maybe I can really satisfy my taste buds with the right blend of juice (just like the perfect tonic for a good gin!).

 

[WHeunis]

It's already been said a few times, and I will echo those...

You have to try VM Menthol Ice.

I've got like 5 bottles on my order right now... cant wait coz i just used the last bit!

Well I vape mostly menthol,I've tried lots of other flavours/tastes but I just don't come right with the majority of them,in fact I've just sold lots of them in the classifieds.I can't give you reviews but heres a selection of what I've tried,what I find good,bad or indifferent and maybe some other useful info.
Hangsen: Dont' like.
Dekang;Ditto above.
Liqua;Ditto above
Heathers Heavenly Vapes (from USA) ; Menthol Ice,very nice not too overpowering,decent price,postage reasonable but SAPO will be involved.
Halo Ecigs (from USA) ; Sub Zero,powerful,strong menthol,I like it but the price is high and the shipping charges are way too expensive.
Vapor Juice (from the UK); DV Menthol,strong menthol,bit rough,not especially cheap,its OK.
Vapor Juice again;Mentolly Insane ; Strongest menthol taste I've tried,probable too strong for most (Rob Fisher hates it,says it has a cow shit after taste/smell),I like it but I find it best mixed with some Vapour Mountain Clear Cut.
Alchemists Cupboard (from the UK) ; Mentally Menthol,a bright green eliquid,pretty strong,pretty good,but theres a hint of candyfloss in there somewhere,pretty expensive.
Joose Juice (from the UK);Menthol,not bad at all,good menthol taste,not too overpowering,coupon codes make it a decent price.
SOV;Steamhammer Krptonite,its OK,maybe worth a go at the R150.00 stock clearance price but not worth the full price in my opinion,some backgound taste I can't figure out,not enough oomph.
Digbys (from the UK); Moriyas Mix,very nice,but again its pricey.
Vapour Mountain ; Menthol Ice,I would echo what others have said,its good,its menthol its a good price,its local.Bung some drops of menthol concentrate in there as well and you are sorted.For me balancing price/availability/taste etc this one is probably the best allrounder.
