DI sort of Y menthol?

[HybridTea]

I don't want to work with different concentrations of nicotine, I would just like to take some 70/30 24 mg pre-mixed base and make it menthol. My question is - does the Liqua Menthol juice I like contain other flavoring ingredients? Do most menthols, or are they just base and menthol? Because if it's just menthol, it seems like an easy thing to manage. And certainly less expensive than buying 10 ml bottles. If they're complicated blended flavors, maybe not.

Does anyone know? Thanks?

You can buy a plain menthol flavor and just add it to your base.

Perfumers Apprentice - Menthol Liquid (PG)

Start with 5ml's of base add a drop and try it. If it's not enough add another drop and keep doing that until you like it.

DannyV is dead on with his suggestion.

I have perfected menthol (or for me anyway) with just that mix - 1 drop of the menthol to 5ml of base. Then I add 1 drop of Koolada (available at the same place he linked to for the menthol), Koolada takes the menthol and dresses it up so that it's like a sip of ice water with every hit. Adds a coolness you feel in your throat.

Buy a small amount of menthol and same thing if you get the Koolada. Using only a drop it's going to last a really really long time!

I get 6ml bottles of both from onestopdiyshop for $1.65 each. That 6ml is enough to make 600ml of juice and that's a whole lot of vaping..

Good luck and have fun

Different companies have different recipes for "menthol". Some include Kooalda, some include mint, some include a tobacco flavor. I don't know what Liqua uses. If you like menthol, I don't think you'd go wrong giving it a try with just menthol and maybe Koolada.

Thank you! Now I'm confused again. I went to try to buy a 70/30 base at 24 mg (I assume this is expressed as mg/ml) and see that the calculators list a thinner like water or alcohol. And the nicotine strength numbers seem odd to me. 24 mg/ml is 2.4%, correct? The place I am looking at offers only 20 or 30 mg, would I then dilute with water? If I can find the 24 that I am used to, do I NEEd to dilute the base?

Is there somewhere I should be reading to get these answers? I did visit the recommended sites to see the menthol liquids, but I am not sure now how to get the base.

you can get 24mg here but it's 75/25 ratio --->
Our Unflavored Smoke Juice (Nic. Juice, Nicotine Juice) - My Freedom Smokes

if you can find 24mg @ 70/30 then the answer is no, you don't need to dilute. I have seen the 70/30 some places I looked but can't remember exactly where. I'll look around a little tonight and get back here if I find it..
