Helping a Camel Crush smoker get off cigarettes

[Racehorse]

I just encountered a friend I haven't seen in a while who apparently gave vaping a shot and didn't stick with it. I went over to visit and turns out they smoke Camel Crush.

I never had one, and haven't smoked in almost 2 years, but I took a puff and wow, it almost knocked me backwards, that menthol was very strong. They do "crush" the little crystal in the filter to make it deliver more of that menthol rush

It occurred to me that they were not getting that strong rush from their vape.....and I looked thru their old collection of eliquid and saw nothing (light desserts) that would satisfy and now I understand why they were not successful with vaping.

so I want to help them start vaping again. What is going to approximate a camel crush in terms of eliquid? I don't do menthol.

Thanks!~

Personally I haven't found any juice that replaces any real tobacco flavor let alone the menthol you get from a menthol cigarette. I wasn't a menthol smoker but I do add a slight amount to most all juices I have tried and use. I think it is because the menthol cuts some of the sweetness I find in all the Fruit flavors I have tried (posted about this problem I have with them in a couple of other threads). There are tons of menthol juices, some stronger that others.

Simple fact is, IMHO, If you really want to quit smoking you will make do with the plethora of juices on the market today.

Your friends simply don't want to quit. That is how I see it.

I rejected all attempts from friends, family and my place of work to quit smoking. I liked smoking a lot. It was my Go To thing. Got in the car, have a smoke. Sat at the computer, Have a Smoke. Need to think real hard and focused at work, Have a Smoke (I can smoke in my workplace and my office).

Sometime at the end of March, not sure exactly what date, "I" said "I" Need to Quit smoking and looked into Vaping. I was ready. I was tired of the smell, the ash, the everything about smoking. So now I am 15 or 16 days smoke free. Not sure how the future will go but for now I am one happy camper. And that is without being able to find a flavor, one flavor, of juice I would vape all day and none of them come close to tasting like the camel lights I smoked for the last 3+ years.

When I started, I found that I needed to have confidence with getting nicotine from vaping I got a bottle of a step higher nic content and it really helped. After that I just went with my urges. I still do have habitual moments, but I can live with that.

If I vape a higher nic level, I vape less often. If I vape lower, I just do it more often. Most times it just isn't convenient or a make it less convenient by not having an APV right in front of me. That helps me to not think about it or to push my urge off.

If I know that I will be vaping a lot, TV movie or TV Show, I have some rather low nic juice.

i was a crush smoker - Sub Zereo from Halo did the trick - it's a real strong mint/menthol. Frozen Tundra from Strix works as well

I just got some menthol at USA vapor that about blew my socks off. I like to mix licorice and menthol, and I did my normal 20/80 mix and have re cut it down to about 2/98. Tobacco wise the only one I like is 555 and I prefer it from Lucky 7 here are links to both sites.

I was a Marlboro Nxt smoker and would use Camel Crush in a pinch. Both have the little ball you crush for menthol. I found for me vaping menthol made me crave cigs so I stick with bakery flavors.

Sad thing is you can't make someone want to quit. Nothing anyone said or did made me quit until I was ready to. My bff and I both started vaping at the same time. She's still smoking while her e-cig collects dust. Before I was ready to quit I had every excuse in the world now she does. I leave her in peace unless she asks me something. She'll quit when she's ready.

You can alao suggest using the menthol from virgin vapors. Thats the stuff that got me off marb menthols.

EC Blend has one called Desert LGoldwhich is as close to a Camel that I have tried. They offer the option of 3 different menthol hits as well. Menthol, Cool Hit or Extra Menthol 1.5x (Strong)

EC Blend Desert Gold - eLiquid Flavor

I used to smoke menthol cigarettes and started off with the menthol vaping flavors and they were all disgusting to me (i.e. not the real thing whatsoever).

Thankfully, once you crush the little ball on the Camel Crush, it uses that same type of [disgusting] fake candy/gum flavored menthol so you should be fine with pretty much any menthol flavor out there from a good juice company.

Which camel crush menthol? I liked the blue pack Camel Crush, Marloboro Skyline and Marlboro 72's in the blue pack.

I got started at a local B&M that had an Extreme Ice and the same with blueberry that they would mix for me. It worked fine for me and I haven't smoked an analog since. I ordered some of the same from MBV and liked those as well. It saved me some serious bucks too. With these juices the flavor is strong right out of the bottle.

Now I personally hated tobacco flavor and still do. I don't care for tobacco flavored juice at all.

It was a perfect match for me.

I second Halo's Sub-Zero.

A ton of good advice and insight here. Thanks and I am printing this out for my friend!

I was smoking camel crush before I made the switch. I must admit they are pretty tasty.

Now that I think about it MBV sent me a free bottle of "blue bacco".

I'll drop some of the Blue Ice and some of that Blue Bacco into the dripper and report how that mixes...

It's pretty good...a little too much blueberry for me. The extreme ice with some tobacco flavor in it might suit him better if he likes the tobacco flavor. I smoked those strong menthols because I disliked that tobacco flavor.
