Wiki:
Eucalyptol is an ingredient in many brands of mouthwash and cough suppressant. It controls airway mucus hypersecretion and asthma via anti-inflammatory cytokine inhibition. Eucalyptol is an effective treatment for nonpurulent rhinosinusitis. Research showed that treated subjects experienced less headache on bending, frontal headache, sensitivity of pressure points of trigeminal nerve, impairment of general condition, nasal obstruction, and rhinological secretion. Side effects from treatment were minimal.
Eucalyptol reduces inflammation and pain when applied topically. It kills leukaemia cells in vitro.

In higher than normal doses eucalyptol is hazardous via ingestion, skin contact or inhalation. It can have acute health effects on behaviour, respiratory tract and nervous system. The acute oral toxicity (LD50) is 2480 mg/kg(rat). It is classified as a reproductive toxin for males and females.

Cineole based eucalyptus oil is used as a flavouring at low levels (0.002%) in various products.

Most Eucalyptus flavoring is oil based so you just can't add it to juice on DIY. It is, of course, a common flavor in cough drops, Hall's, eg. but always used at the low levels - 0.002 % is very small. You wouldn't want to do even one drop in a 10ml bottle even, (0.005%) if you were to find a water soluble version.

Thanks for the clarification, Kent...I guess I have tried eucalyptus but never actually knew it! :)

If you're a 36mg vaper - I highly recommend the DV mentholyptus at TW or look for it in 18mg soon probably - they're getting some flavors in the lower mg now - it's the strongest 'menthol' ever - as I say 'eye, ear, nose and throat hit and I keep it in my medicine cabinet' :D

It will clean you out. Much of that strong stuff for colds, etc. is just to 'get you back into communication with your environment' by strongly stimulating your senses and it would do that. Knock on wood, I haven't had a cold since I started vaping (today is 6 months) but when I do, I'll be warming up to the mentholyptus from Decadent Vapours. Now I use it as a preventative... along with Zicam for 'first symptoms'. (I don't vape zicam ;-) )

Okay had to try them myself. Mentholyptus from Decadent Vapours is more mentolally compared to Ms. T's Eucalyptus. My search for a stronger Eucalyptus juice continues. Any suggestions. If I want to do my own diy Eucalyptus should I just go to a health food store to get the flavor or do I have to get the flavor for vamping someplace special?
