Anty "model" will work just fine!  But menthol seems to be a funny thing to get right, so you may not be pleased.
When all else fails I get Vt Vapor juice to load my cartos. It's a bit more, but 9 times out of 10 it TASTES like what it says it is. YMMV.
I would also skip the "starter" kits until you're not sure it's right for you. So, instead of starting out with a lot of money for a kit, get a disposable first. They're ~$10, they last 2-3 days and give you an idea of what vaping is like. You're still beating cigs and not getting heavily invested along the way. 711 sells the NJOY which some people...um....DO, and some truck stops sell an RN4041, IIRC (by a different name) for ~$39, but I have tried one and it works well.

Now will you all please leave while Dr Berger and I make out the Death Certificates!

Now the horixontal coil is literally at the bottom of the carto, from left to right, most common cartos are vertical coil, difference is how well they are susposed and do wick the ejuice to the coil, I havent tryed the horizontal coils, but in my head haveing less exposure to the surrounding poly fill containing the ejuice, means more burning... and yes that is a taste you will find out about by accident bro. |

There's a perfect example of right for one may not be right for another. I don't like a hot vape. That first drag is always the best for me.
