OK, last night at coffee, Raven was kind enough to gift me a bottle of Nhale-Exhale 555 Menthol. I can't turn down free juice, right?
I tried vaping it. OMG.
With all due respect to Nhaler, the vapor tastes like ... and NOTHING like the menthol analogs I used to smoke. Gah.
Instead, this is something really weird I can't really describe. Nutty, sort of. I recognize the attempt to provide a tobacco-ey flavor. But it's like nothing I've ever tried before, or ever want to try again. And the smell kinda turns my stomach, and gives me a bit of a headache.
This reminds me, the smileys could really use a nausea/vomiting option.
So yeah. I hatehatehate the idea of wasting otherwise perfectly good nicotine. 8-o
So, I did some blending in my desktop lab, and came up with this recipe that mostly nullifies the vileness, and turns it into something a bit like doublemint gum.
As a side note, the bottle didn't have a strength listed on it, but the buzz I got vaping it straight made me think it was ~36 mg. So, I cut it down to ~18 mg.
Here's my recipe:
0.20 ml Lorann wintergreen
0.10 ml Lorann Spearmint
1 drop peppermint Essential Oil
1.50 ml VG (I used Wilton's)
0.20 ml distilled water
2.00 ml 555 menthol
Voila - a much tastier vape, and no longer something I need "to get used to".
I think I may adjust this a bit, but for now I'll just enjoy this blend.
