My initial reaction to this particular vape flavor is that there is definitely menthol in it. One odd thing to me has been that most mentholated flavors are more than a bit overpowering on the menthol and I was a former menthol cigarette smoker. You get the hints of the tobacco for sure. In fact, the tobacco flavor is quite noticeable and strong. But you also get a quite noticeable and strong menthol. I've been vaping this for a tank or two and for whatever reason it seems to me that the menthol is becoming more and more pronounced as I vape it. And I do tend to shake my bottles well before every tank fill.
On the basic flavor level I'd say it tastes pretty good. But I can't help but think there is, as there always is in any mentholated flavor, way too much menthol.
By no means is this a dig against Green Forest Vapor Shop. In fact, I shop there often since it is local to me, and for the most part I have liked their vapor flavors. One of my favorites is their Blueberry Cheesecake one. The fact is that I have yet to find any mentholated flavor of vape juice that is actually good. Not a single juice maker I have found to date can match a real menthol mix that mimics and actual menthol cigarette.
Unless, perhaps, you smoked Kool cigarettes, which were always overpowering when it came to menthol. When I smoked I smoked variations of the brand of Newport. Newport, Newport Lights, Newport Menthol Gold, and Newport Smooth Select. That particular brand of mentholated cigarettes is actually mild in the menthol category and that may be why since there are many other brands of menthol cigarettes which are much more "minty."
If you like a very strong menthol with a tobacco flavor, and what I think is a hint of sweet here as well, then this particular vape juice flavor may be right up your alley. But honestly for me it is one I don't think I will buy again. It's just too strong, and will probably wind up in a mix I use for juices I don't like just to "use them up."
They have an online site you can indeed buy from, and they have several house juices worth giving a go. For me, Royal Tobacco is just not my cup of tea. Again, way too much menthol, and to be quite honest, the more I vape it, the more sickening it is becoming.
Green Forest, I think you missed the mark on this one. You should have called this Royal Menthol or something like that. Again, not a dig against the maker of this juice. Just an honest opinion on this particular flavor which honestly did nothing for me.
