Blackcurrant menthol

[Warpa]

Hi, im new to the diy e juice and wonder if any of you can help me. As far as I know I have all the ingredients ready to mix.
I want a nice blackcurrant taste with a hint of menthol and as a sub ohm vapour would like an 80/20 mix for the big clouds.I see calculators on the internet but would like a few pointers if any of you know of a nice recipe. I read that this mix shouldn't need steeping, but will givecit the warm bath treatment.
Many thanks for any helpcand advice

It would probably help the rest of the community if you would list the flavors and manufacturers you have. Different flavors by different manufactures are used at different strengths.

Also, a quick google search for "blackcurrant menthol e liquid recipe" brought up several viable suggestions. I'm afraid I haven't worked with blackcurrant so I don't have anything to offer. Sorry about that.

Good luck on your quest.

I'm using vapable products at the moment. Today I made 5ml of the above using;

VG65/PG35

Nicotine vg 0.2ml
VG 3ml
PG 0.8ml
Flavouring @20% 1ml
Menthol @10% 0.5ml

Target nicotine strength was 3mg.
The taste is all menthol and no blackcurrant at all, from what I have been reading 20% should have been plenty.

Can anyone see any fundamental mistake I'm missing here?
I would have preferred a 80/20 vg mix as I like a lot of vapour, but the calculator didn't allow that mix

30% total flavoring sounds very high to me. Try half of that or dilute that mix by half with your vg base. you also likely need to let that steep a week or so after diluting if the taste don't improve to see if the flavor develops. Over flavoring can lead to a lack of flavor. I'm not fimilure with vapable products so I don't know the particular flavor profiles of those flavors. You may even want to reduce the menthol down even further then 5%. You'll just need to keep experimenting. Also if you do acheave a 80% VG base and 15% total flavor you'll want to add 5% distilled water to that mix which will allow for better wicking more vapor and better flavor carrying.

For me, menthol is more of an additive. 10% is quite a lot, it's very potent. You said you wanted 'a hint of menthol'. Try just a single drop to start. You can always add more and keep track. Then drop into a syringe when you have your final number of drops to get an actual percentage for larger mixes. I'd cut the 20% blackcurrant in half to start too.
