FA Peppermint - What %

[gtrthang]

I want to mix up a good peppermint. So I was wondering what percentage are you all using for a pure peppermint juice? Do you recommend some sweetener with it?

Thanks

Start at 5% and work from there.. If you need sweetener i usually go with cotton candy FA. You probably wont need sweetener.

I'd start at 5% Peppermint and then add some Spearmoint or Menthol.

Thanks for the suggestions all. I've just been DIY'ng fruit/menthol mixed as my first recipes and am happy so far, now i'm slowing expanding to other single flavors before I start mixing "real" recipes.

I just thought I'd give some follow-up on this. I tend to do all my flavors at 20%, so I started at 10% with this flavor. It tastes good to me, but the flavor is still pretty mild. I'll check it again in a few days, but if it doesn't become more strong, I'll probably bump it up to 15%.

More is not always more. Check out the blog on flavoring levels by clicking that blue 3 under that picture of me.

I made up a batch of this at 15% (16mg nic 60/40 VG/PG) and I really like it. It's just the right amount of peppermint flavor - cool and intense but not too much. It doesn't really need anything more - but I bet there are a TON of flavors that would taste great with it.

You can also add some menthol or Koolada as well. Sometimes just a drop or two can really surprise you how much flavor it can bring out.
