Special Blend Menthol

Is it sweet? Balanced and crisp, not an ice blast and not sweet; there are no sweeteners in it. Reviewers most often call it smooth. If you want a heavier menthol hit, Menthol Tobacco is stronger.

The menthol is a natural mint extract from Mentha arvensis, chosen because it contains no pulegone. Pulegone is a compound the FDA banned as a synthetic food additive; it still shows up in many mint and menthol e-liquids. Black Note menthol has none.

After natural extraction, Special Blend Menthol goes through an extra distillation and micro-filtration step that removes the residues that build up on a coil, and it has no sweeteners. You can use the same coil for up to 35mL before replacing it. Special Blend Menthol and Special Blend Tobacco are our two coil-friendly blends.

If you smoked a pack or more of menthols a day and want a small pod, salt at 20 mg is the usual start; it is what most Special Blend Menthol customers buy. If you want a tighter, cigarette-style draw in an MTL tank, 50VG/50PG at 3 or 6 mg. If you run a sub-ohm tank, 70VG/30PG. VG and PG are the two liquids in every e-liquid; more VG means thicker vapor, more PG carries flavor and feels a little sharper.

Salt nicotine comes in 20, 30, and 50 mg in a 30mL bottle. Freebase (50VG/50PG and 70VG/30PG) comes in 0, 3, 6, 12, and 18 mg in a 60mL bottle. The selector shows what is in stock today. Higher is not better, and the Vape Quiz takes under two minutes.

It is built to: cool, clean mint over real tobacco, with tobacco to taste after the cooling fades. Reviewers who smoked menthols call it the closest they have found; a few who wanted more menthol moved to Menthol Tobacco. Neither is a mint candy.

A mouth-to-lung pod or low-wattage device for salt and 50/50; the Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini is the pairing we stock. A sub-ohm tank for 70/30.

Polar Mint pods are being withdrawn from the US. Special Blend Menthol is bottled e-liquid: pulegone-free mint over naturally extracted tobacco, crisp rather than an ice blast. It needs a refillable pod device such as the Vaporesso XROS 6 Mini, sold separately. In a small pod, 20 mg salt is the usual start. More in our blu pod guide.

Special Blend Menthol is crisp, pulegone-free mint with real tobacco underneath, from naturally extracted sun-cured Oriental leaf. Expect a cool menthol over tobacco, not a candy or fruit ice.

Yes. Special Blend Menthol is a bottled e-liquid, so it goes in a refillable pod system or tank instead of a sealed disposable. You buy the device once and refill it, rather than replacing the whole vape each time it runs dry.

A refillable pod system and a bottle of e-liquid such as Special Blend Menthol. Pod systems are small and draw like a disposable, so the feel is familiar. Browse our Pod Systems section, or take the Vape Quiz and we’ll point you to a match.

Check the strength printed on your disposable’s box. Many list 5% (50 mg/ml) nicotine salt. Special Blend Menthol Salt Nicotine comes in 2% (20 mg/ml), 3% (30 mg/ml) and 5% (50 mg/ml), so you can match what you’re used to.

Most disposables lean on fruit and candy flavors. Special Blend Menthol is naturally extracted from real tobacco leaf, with natural mint and no synthetic flavorings, so it tastes like menthol tobacco, not dessert.

Special Blend Menthol works in any refillable (open) pod system or tank. It won’t work in sealed, pre-filled pods or disposables, because those can’t be refilled.
