So, I sat down tonight, after scoring 125 free dose syringes(like you give kids meds in) from my local pharmacy for no charge. And I've bought up some PG, VG, Distilled water, and some lorrans.

Since I am a former menthol analog smoker, I thought I'd try something minty.

I mixed:

10 ml PG
15 ml VG
2 ml distilled water
and about 10 drops(by drops I tilted the Lorrans bottle diligently and watched about 10 drops drop in the mixture) of Creme de Menthe.

The vapor seemed nice, the flavor was kinda a mellow mint flavor, but for some reason, I feel a bit weird in the chest. Like putting Vics on my chest but like inside my lungs. It's slowly going away, but it was weird, as the mint taste was less dominant than my dekang menthol.

Did I do something wrong, or too much mint or something off?

Any help is appreciated.

BTW, this is a nic free juice

I did a few of my own while waiting for some juice with nic to come in. I mixed PG with Peppermint essential oil, and then some PG with Spearmint essential oil. Don't know the ratios (just kept adding drops of the oil till it reached a taste I liked), but you don't need much.

Another one I found was adding lemon and orange extract, with a couple drops of spearmint. Tasted GREAT. And both extracts have alcohol which gave a great throat hit. I'm hooked on the fruity flavors now.

How much of the lemon orange extract are you useing?
Ive been trying to get a good lemondrop (VG and clubhouse pure lemon extract) flavor but cant seem to get it quite right. Any tips?

VG has a tendency to make make your flavors go flat. So less VG more PG. SO try something like this:

For Menthol (Mint)
50% (5MIL) PG
30% (3MIL) VG
20% (2MIL) Creme De Menthe (Start with 1 mil of the mint and work up to 2 for the flavor you like) 2 mils of a small 1 dram bottle is just shy of 1/2 the bottle. No water needed.

This is the recipe I use for sever Menthol Smoking Friends. They all love it.
