In search of the perfect menthol

[hiigara]

Hey guys firstly I know the stock response to this is going to be taste is subjective but I currently have a
Nice little stash of juice from a couple of genders and am even now mixing my own. My problem is that I want a nice full boddied menthol liquid that packs that smooth menthol punch without being to over powering so far though I just can't seem to find it. I want that menthol kick without blowing my head of.

I will gj e a couple of examples. I have tried the dv mentholyptus that was to much kick not enough smooth over all nice flavour but a touch to strong. On the other hand tw has a nice me full in their red lable range that I find to be a little to smooth with no bite to it. Also tw are a little to expensive for me right now seeing as I don't get paid for another 3week.

Anyway with all the vendors out their I want to try and cut down the choice to just one. So which of the. Endors out there in the uk do u guys go to for a nice rich menthol with a but of a kick not one that just tastes like chewing gum

I swear by Vaporbomb ARTIC ICE I will not vape any other menthol

Not into using menthol juice myself, but have heard lots of praise for Vape Escape's Grizwald's menthol flavours -

Grizwald's 5ml Samplers £2.79 - Grizwald's Gourmet Range - Grizwald's Samplers Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

And Paradise Vape's menthols -

Hi hii...

Try getting yourself some menthol crystals and popping a couple in a small bottle with your normal tobacco e-liquid... You'll get that menthol analogue like flavour, instead of Wrigleys...

Mint flavours in menthol don't work at all for me, and it sounds much the same for you, so I am confident this would work well in your case...

I really like the Decadent Vapours Menthol, Cherry Ice and Menthol Blend.

Cheers for the input ill have to try the menthol crystal thing on its own 1st lol goes with my currnet diy . havent actually been vaping tobacco juice thus far been using anything but tbh my main vape atm is homebrew tiramisu from dv full vg mix. the menthol crystal thing if i can get a good mix for it will do nicely i can vape all the menthol i want .

the chewing gum thing aint a problem just the tw rl menthol has no kick to it. I dont mind the chewing gum flavour as long as it has a bit of umpth to it . Infact the tw menthol would have been perfect if it just had a little kick. Basically my urge for menthol stems from the fact i work in a porta cabin that has the door open most of the day. with it being sodding freezing atm i need someething to help keep my nose clear so i can breath properly.

I also have a minor PG allergy thats why i have started mixing my own juice atm i can make deal with the iritations i get from pg if the juice is worth it though

Ok another dumb question in regards to the crystals of I was to mix them in a vg base would they desolve properly?? Or would I have to do it in deionized water then mix the water with the vg?? As I said I have an issue with
Pg so avoid mixing with it at all costs. Then again I proffer the sweetness of a full vg mix found this sinse I started my own home brews.

The Menthol crystals won't dissolve in VG by themselves as they would in PG . . . you can either zap them in the VG in the microwave for a very short time . . . or stand the bottle in some warm water for them to dissolve.

You may find in a VG mix that they re-crystallise, again do the above to seperate them out again.

Cheers it's a shame really that I can't vape pg much. Sat using up the last of some red bill premix I got from tw it's lovely just a shame about the itch that goes with it on my throat and we won't go into the funky wired heart burn it seams to give me which I wish I could explain that heh

hii... I personally don't have any issues with dissolving menthol crystals in my liquids, and I use 100% VG mate... But it is painfully slow, and best left overnight... The menthol "hit" carries on developing for a few days, so go real easy on those crystals... experiment with a couple of smaller 5 ml bottles, and you'll soon get used to them...

 

[hiigara]

Must admit u lot are helpful heh I was looking for a vendor now m mixing might get even cheaper. Heh

hii... get along to Liberty Flights UK... their code is: 15PC

and E-Cig Wizard... their code is: 10PC

Hope that helps a bit more dude...

 

[asha23]

Haha. Beware. Those raw menthol crystals can be really strong! Don't overdo them

100% PG is something I had to get used to. It made me cough for a while, then I sneezed here and there. Finally, after trying it periodically, one day I could vape it with no trouble. You might want to try 50/50 mixes and then move to 70pg/30vg as you move up the ladder to all PG. Most people vape a mix, anyway.

 

[Rickajho]

Not sure what your UK vendor options are but if you run across DK NPort you should give it a try. It's a very straight shot menthol only type flavor. Strong, but I don't think it will overwhelm you. Because of the strength it's also a good "helper" for lesser menthols you might have that need a flavor boost. I'm PG allergic - it's available as 100% VG.

Cige does some good mixing liquids if you don't want to go overseas and his service is brilliant . . .

Have you tried taking antihistamines with say a 80/20 VG/PG, to see if it controls the allergy?

VG makes me very congested if it's too high a ratio and all PG brings me out in a really itchy rash . . . an
80/20 mix, with a couple of tablets a day . . . just about keeps it all under control.
