They are banning it here on Germany. Because the menthol in the cigs make smoking more pleasant for kids.

I will definitely be watching this thread.
I'm still a noob vaper but although i have some good juices I still need to find an ADV (look at me, using acronyms
)

i have also learnt that when testing new juices, do not take the initial taste you get as being how it will always be.
test atleast over a few days, or a few tanks (sometimes this will happen in a day )

By the way, @Tom said a while back (excuse me Tom if this is my interpretation) that the term ADV is a bit overrated.
Who really would want to vape the same juice all day anyway? I tend to agree with that. I think the concept of a few top juices to have in your rotation or in several devices set up permanently is the way to go.
For a few months now i have had three juices on the go simultaneously, puffing away at whichever one i feel like at the moment.
It has taken me some time to discover I have three types of vaping requirements:
a) the need for something refreshing - to leave my mouth feeling sparkly and clean
b) the need for something tasty but not overpowering for mindless sort of vaping
c) the need for a strong kick when the urge arises. Some days it happens often, some days less so.
I fill these three needs with the following three setups:
1. The refresher - mainly VM Choc Mint - but any natural tasting minty or menthol juice will do. 5 Pawns bowdens mate sometimes does the honours here when im feeling a bit decadent.
2. The tasty mindless one - VK Pina Colada has featured nicely and being only 12 mg it works well for repetitive vaping. Vape Craving Adventure also doing the honours but its pricey so wont be often. I have varied this one quite a bit but I need to do more work here.
3. Strong kick - i find tobaccoes are best for this. Still hunting here but HHV Huntsman and HHV Gaia are so far my best I have found. They kick like mules and taste very good.
So id say i have roughly 2 flavours i have found so far that work beautifully for each category. My goal is to find a third for each and maybe build it up to 5 for each over the next few months.

@Tom hit the nail on the head. Menthol's bad rep stems from country's with a mindset that it is easier for kids to start smoking menthol cigarettes than straight tobacco. Also the old story of the flavour being more appealing to kids etc...
I enjoy menthol with almost all fruity flavours. Love the clean mouth feel and it does wonders for the sinuses

OK it's a new day and new taste buds...
HHV Atomic Grasshopper is very nice but not an ADV for me... and I still use the term ADV because that's exactly what it is for me... an All Day Vape.
HHV Dew is certainly Mountain Dew and also very nice but still not for me...
Next into the clone Russian and Kayfun is White Lie and Java Smooth!

White Lie is disappointing! Here is the spiel from the web site...
"White Lie is a wonderful blend of fresh coconut and fresh pear. This magical combination produces a wonderful, full bodied flavor combination that is..."
Pear I can taste but there is almost no coconut flavour... wow that was a fail.
The Java Smooth and Mocha Java Smooth are pretty nice coffee flavours and I will vape them for the rest of the day because they do have potential.

I went through 7 x HHV Juices and I'm afraid none of them will be an ADV for me... the Dew was pretty good and so were the Coffee's but they are just not for me.
These are the juices I tested... all sold and out of the man cave...
Atomic Grasshopper
Lemonade
Caramel Cappuccino
Java Smooth
Dew
Mocha Java Smooth
White Lie

Today I have been testing Vape Craving Adventure in a Russian Clone at 8 Watts (Did try it from 8 to 10 watts) on a 1,4 Ohm Coil on the Sigelei 20W.
I don't like the packaging one bit despite it looking so very kewl! The writing is pretty much impossible for me to read and no where (unless I'm really blind) does it actually say what juice is in what bottle... the only way I know what's in the bottle is because I ordered two bottles of Adventure by mistake and I can see there is a colour difference between the two juices.
And then you have to use either the little plastic Pipet that comes with the bottle or a blunt nosed syringe to get it out the bottle and into the device... and I guess the juice has a higher VG content because it's a mission getting the juice into both the pipet or syringe.
And then the bottles are glass and I get that glass is classy and upmarket but there is no way you can travel with the bottles and would have to decant the juice into a plastic bottle to go on the move.
That was the bad news... the good news is that there is little doubt that Vape Craving is a quality juice!
I added a few drops of menthol concentrate because I think it needed it it for my palate... This juice has made it into my top 5 and may just be an ADV for me... will continue with it for the next few days.
I then called my daughter who has a much better palate than I have and I always use her when testing juices... her reaction was immediate and she said it is a top 3 for her!
So I'm happy I got two bottles of Adventure and really happy I may have found a juice I can use when I need a change from my Menthol Ice!
So the bottom line "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner"!

Next on my Quest was Just "B" Peach and Apricot. I chose 9mg nic.
This is in a mPT3 on a Vision Spinner 2 at 4,8V. This is a very sweet hardware set up I have to say and would be my choice for any new vaper as a first device!
I did test this juice way back in the beta test phase and I did like it and have been hoping that the production version was going to be great! This is an awesome juice and also made it into my top 5 and also has the potential to become an ADV for me. This juice is yum! I think the peach is predominant but the apricot is also there.
My daughter was also called to test this one and she immediately put this one right on top of her list. Her reaction was "I need to start Vaping"! She is a non-smoker but I use her for my juice tests because she has the ability to pick apart flavours and appreciate them.
I can't believe after trying more than 10 juices in a row with no winners I now get two in a row!
My Top 3 Juices at this stage
Vapour Mountain Menthol Ice
and then tie for 2nd and 3rd (can't make up my mind yet) are Vape Craving Adventure and Just "B" Peach and Apricot!
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Sorry Lizzie... and it's not an "in your face" juice... but I think it's high VG because if I vape it too much I start to get a burnt taste on the Russian Clone because the juice is so thick it's not flowing fast enough... I will put some in Amanda in the next few days and give it a real run!
@Rob Fisher
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Am so happy for you that you found something you like!
I had a feeling about that Vape Craving Adventure for you - lol - am glad to hear.
Hilarious to hear your critical views on the Vape Craving bottles and the filling. I agree that they could have labelled them more prominently - hard to tell when you have a few of those bottles next to each other.
But I guess its what's inside that counts.
Thanks for the heads up on Just B Peach and Apricot - I need to try Just B's juices - just haven't gotten round to ordering.
So glad for you - let us know how the juices taste when they graduate to the REOs

That is awesome Rob. So glad you have put my Peach/Apricot at No 2 (albeit a tie - its still good). I am however busy with a Menthol for you. Think I want Just "B" to have No1 and No2 spots in your ADV.
I really think I need to give up on my juice quest... I have tested a few this weekend... Drakes Yolo, Feellife (a few flavours), even a few VM Juices and nothing comes even close to my VM Menthol Ice.
The only flavours (and I have tested a few in the last few days) that have remained in atomisers is the Just "B" Peach and apricot and the two Vape Craving Juices... and that's because I vape them for a change and my daughter won't let me empty them.
It's time to clean all the hardware now... so we have Nautilus and mPT3's soaking in warm water ready for the session.

if you are happy with one proper ADV....so be it. There is a popular german youtube guy, Philgood, and he vapes only Menthol juice.
Big advantage for you....you dont have to hunt down anything. VM MI is available in your vicinity. No wasting money on experiments too.
Oh I have kept my Amaretto along with a few other juices and I will vape them occasionally... I will keep the 2 Vape Craving juices, a few of the Just B juices, a few of the Vape King Juices and a few of the other Vapour Mountain juices.
All I have left to try are a couple of Just "B" juices and the 5 Pawns Bowdens Mate... and I have a few 3ml bottles (compliments of my Vape Guru in CT) of Sixty Four and Frenilla that I need to put into Kiera!
Damn, wish I had a collection like that
Pull in anytime for a taste fest if you get to Durbs by the Sea!
