I got several flavors to try out in the 10ml bottles. Then I ordered a 30 ml bottle of mint flavor. It was really great in the first bottle, but the new one is super bitter. It has nothing to do with the e-cigs. Smelling the juice directly from the bottle, it totally smells like antifreeze. The old bottle of the same flavor and strength (6mg) smells sweet and minty. Is this something I should be concerned about or does it just need to age? If so, how long does it take?
Extremely bitter juice

I would be concerned, If too much nicotine was put in (like if someone accidentally used undiluted nicotine) it might be very bitter. Call the vendor.
Yep I agree with dormouse contact the vendor for sure! You may get a replacement or refund and if it's a bad batch it may save others from getting it also!
Thanks. I tried to contact them last weekend but haven't heard back from them yet. Does anyone know of menthol/mint flavors that don't have any cig taste and no nicotine? I quit smoking years ago and just discovered vaping last year. I don't need the nicotine and don't want the cig flavor/smell.
Not off the top of my head but if you aren't using nicotine (the most expensive ingredient in DIY) you might be able to mix your own.
If I were you I'd probably be looking into doing a little DIY. You can totally get zero nicotine ejuice in all sorts of flavors, but all it is is PG (or VG, or both) and about 10% flavoring. If you are cheap (like me) you could save a ton of money mixing your own.
You can even buy the PG by the gallon online or at a farm/feed/seed store it's extremely inexpensive. Lots of vendors sell just the flavoring, you can also get candy flavorings at the store (called lorann's oils).
There are different kinds of mint though. What kind do you like? minty like gum? minty like altoids? minty like toothpaste? minty like mint tea?
Minty like spearmint gum. I also love halls mentholyptus. I picked up some "now" VG and spearmint oil earlier this week, and I have ethanol (190 proof) and splenda. I started with about 10ml VG and about 20 drops of spearmint in it.
It needs some sweet and to be a little thinner, but I haven't found info on approx how much ethanol or sweetener to mix in.
