Hiya,

Does anyone here have an easy recipe to make a nice menthol vape?
Flavor brands I have available are TPA, Capelle and Inawera.

The goal is to get a similar menthol taste as with menthol cigs.

Thanks a lot!

Hi mate,
A mix of Inawera DNB and TFA menthol should get you close. 1% and 2% respectively.
You may need to add a bit of mint of your choice or koolada to round out the flavor profile.

Would RY4 double do instead of Inawera DNB?
Let's say 5% RY4 double and 2% TFA Menthol?

If your menthol cigarettes taste of caramel, vanilla and mild tobacco plus menthol...then try the DRY-4.
I would try putting a drop or two of menthol in 10ml of some mature DRY-4 and see how it goes.

Do you have a bottle of TFA Menthol in the stash already?

is TFA Menthol that strong that 1 drop per 10 ml can have such effect?
I don’t know about TFA menthol specifically, but menthol is one of the “pure” flavorings, and as such can be very very strong. You can actually buy menthol crystals and dissolve them in alcohol.

Yeah they have TFA crystals available as well, dissolving in PG should also work.

Yes. The TPA menthol is so strong that 1 drop per 10mL is very noticeable. I don't even include it it as a percent ingredient in my recipes, just a note.

I have a basic recipe I use for menthol tobacco.

Menthol (FW) 1%
DNB (INW) 1.5%
Virginia TA (INW) 1%
Dirty Smooth Tobacco (HS) 4%

Replace your tobacco with the Hangsen and either add or subtract menthol for your personal taste. I mix this for me and a friend and have not had any issues. I have subbed the dirty smooth for USA red at times to get a different tobacco note with the same 4%. It is good but I up the menthol to 2% when I do that. I do that to compensate for the menthol that menthol smooth has in the flavor itself. I do not have TFA menthol but the FW is pretty strong.

menthol taste
Careful, might be best to error in too weak a menthol percentage in the mix to start out.
"V6. 'Menthol Mouth'
It is reported that the use of large amounts of menthol-containing e-liquids can result in the deadening of taste for a period, with the result that all refills become tasteless for a while or until menthol use is reduced or ceased. Cinnamon is also implicated."

    One of my fave mixes uses capella menthol. This isn't menthol crystals in pg, but an actual mint flavour.

    I also smoked menthol cigarettes, so wanted something that was similar when I first quit. Now I just love this mix regardless and I've called it EnticeMint ;)

    EnticeMint

    Capella Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 5% (or TFA)
    Capella Vanilla Whipped Cream 5% (or TFA)
    Capella Menthol 2% (For more mint, go up to 2.5%)
    Capella Super Sweet 0.5%

    Steep 3 days
