Haha, I agree and thought otherwise, I kept reading about one drop per ml, but in the 'simple menthol' thread, someone had it in their wintergreen/spearmint. I will most likely reduce this in the future. I really like a cold snap though and it looks like I will achieve an overwhelming cold snap haha.

You can't really rely on others recipes. Some are quite good and others are quite bad. Thats why it's recommended to experiment with each flavor and additive individually. For instance just mix up some koolata and vape it so you get the idea of it's cooling effect, Then mix a batch of just menthol and vape that, then just mix a batch of cream de minth. After you sample each one individually you will have an idea on what will work for your own taste as well as a better understanding of how much you will need to use.

Update on first recipes:
Menthol (based off simple menthol thread with creme de menthe replacing the wintergreen)
Creme de Menthe-6%
koolada-10%
menthol-2%
EM-1%

Iced Irish Pumpkin
Pumpkin-9%
Irish cream-10%
Koolada-10%

Horchata
Horchata-5%

Menthol: definitely menthol ice feeling and super strong throat hit. Missing a mint/peppermint taste. Creme de menthe does not provide the mint taste I like but shows promise if I switch out with peppermint or mint. Especially for any nic fits I might have.

Iced Irish pumpkin: can definitely taste the Irish cream. Cannot taste the pumpkin. Has a heavy throat hit which almost makes the whole thing taste like a poorly created drink. Will greatly reduce the koolada and Irish cream. Thinking pumpkin 8%, Irish cream 2% and a drop or two of koolada.

Horchata (single flavor mix): delicious spice flavor but it is not the smooth horchata that I know in drink form. Will probably add in some form of cream and reduce the percentage of the horchata. Possibly 6% cream/vanilla ice cream and 1% horchata.

Thank you for the tip! I was just eager to dive in and definitely paid the price. Just made another mix of plain pineapple at 8%. I dripped it onto my RBA (which I have become comfortable with now!) and tasted a tart bitter flavor. Was looking for an overly ripe juicy pineapple flavor. Added in about 2% EM and definitely enjoyed it better. Now I have it resting to see if it will improve. Made only 4 ml of this so I will look to improve it before making a larger amount.
