Bluemist Menthol drops

2 x Menthol Drops = $6.00
------------------------------------------------------

Ordered 2 bottles.

Any idea how I would mix this stuff?

I initially bought
10ml bottles from backwoods brew

Backwoods BacKo is one I like. Thought of adding some menthol to it, just not sure how much.
What do you experts think?

I think your best best is to add it one drop at a time,shake well, and do a taste test to see how you like it. You can always add more, but you can't take it out. If you've got some empty bottle, you may even want to split your batch in case you decide you don't like the menthol added.

BTW, I'm no expert but I do read a lot on the ECF.

A little menthol goes a long way. Make a small batch first and like the other poster said, one drop at time.

I usually only put 1 drop per 10ml. But i don't like a strong menthol feel.

I have no idea what your experience with menthol is. Some say add 1 drop per 5 or 10 ml...while others may add 6 drops per 10 ml. I smoked Kools for 42 years, so I add more drops per 10ml bottle than just one. I've also discovered that some juices seem to "take" the drops differently, so it is always an excellent idea to start out slow and easy. As already mentioned, you can always add more - but you can't remove any. Half the fun is learning what works best - for you.
Good luck.

You'll just have to experiment. I average about 2 drops per 5ml but it's preference. Just remember a little goes a long way and start out slow. Also the mix will strengthen with time. I usually give it about 24 hours before I make my final decision, it seems to level out after that. If you add more immediately thinking it's to weak when you vape it later it could be way to strong.

5% max.

Be careful with menthol, to much can burn your throat rather badly.

 

[Uncle Screwtape]

5% would be outrageous! I put 3 drops of BM's menthol into 15ml of some boring tobacco juice and it was a bit too much for my taste, probably about right for a menthol fanatic.

It's strong stuff!

Vape on!

I asked Rob at BlueMist about it back in Oct of 2010, here is what he said.

If you only want to put in menthol, I would usually suggest 5-10% of such a strong menthol flavoring for my own sense of taste- but I like my menthol _exceptionally_ strong. If you're using it in conjunction with other flavorings, you'll probably be happier with 2-4% instead. Remember you can always add more later but never take it out, so start light and move up.

I use 7% currently and it's very strong. I have used as much as 10% but it's to much for me.

 

[kevinjames]

When you guys talk %age what do you mean? I have read 1 drop per 10ml so that's safe to test right? I smoked marlboro menthols.

 

[LMP]

If you want to make 10ml of juice 5% would be 0.5ml

Yes one drop would be very safe, try it and see if works for you, add more if you need to.

 

[kevinjames]

so by .5ml you mean .5ml of menthol per 10ml of juice?
.5ml sounds like more than 1 drop no?

 

[LMP]

Yes 1 drop is probably not enough, but to be safe you could use 1 drop and then increase by one until you can taste it.

5 to 10 drops would be closer to 0.5ml, I assume this is the menthol drops you have:

Yes, those are the ones. I just hate to ruin a whole bottle of juice, which is what I'm going to have to do to figure this out.
Any ideas on flavors?

I have backwoods menthol now and it's more like a mint flavor.
I also have
Backwoods BacKo
Backwoods Brew 555 Tobacco
Backwoods Brew Smoke

Wondering what flavor might be the best for mixing with menthol.

 

[Stosh]

I DIY and like menthol, and it's very easy to go overboard with it, very strong flavor.
I've used it with any tobacco or mint flavor, also good with lemon, lime, cinnamon,
adds a kick to root beer (one drop), other than those flavors, anything you want to
experiment with (in 3mL sample bottles )
