It's All About The Menthol, Baby!!

[carpedebass]

OK...I admit it...I'm a menthol JUNKIE!! When I smoked, it was menthols! My favorite everyday juices are menthol! About the only thing I haven't tried in menthol was Cinna-menthol. (Not a cinnamon fan.)

So I have some liquid menthol and some koolada enroute. Can anyone give me some idea how much to add to DIY? Do you recommend a drop per ml? More? Less? I can imagine menthol would be quite stout, so I'm thinking I'll test drop by drop in a 5 ml sample first, but wanted to get some input from what you guys and gals use.

Also, if anyone has any good menthol recipes they want to share, that'd be great!

i find desolved menthol crystals (i disolve my own in PG) are MUCH MUCH stronger than koolada. i put 2-3 drops of menthol in a 15ml bottle of juice. with koolada, it really depends on how strong you want it. i like a light menthol/cool flair, and i usually use about 1 drop of koolada per 3-5mls.

Perfect! Thanks!

Ive been doing 1.25 ml of menthol crystals crushed up and dissolved in 3.75ml of PGA. I use that at 2 drops per ml of finished liquid and then sometimes I add in Koolada at 1 drop per ml and and peppermint at 1 drop per ml.

I'm a mentholaholic, myself.

My favourite is:

- 14% FlavourArt Spearmint
- 1% Perfumer's Apprentice Vanilla Custard
- 6% Menthol
- 2% Koolada
- Sweetener to taste (usually 1%)

Reminds me of a fresh piece of Excel Spearmint gum.

Steeping for a day or so helps meld the flavours.

You had until you said spearmint. My first DIY was spearmint...added WAYY too much flavoring, vaped a sample and tasted spearmint for a week. I'm afraid I've ruined spearmint for life.

I crush crystals and mix to my pg I until I have to move my nose away because I can't take the nose hit. Then I use that for my mixes I love menthol!

I've used my recipe using watermelon and strawberry instead of spearmint. I'm vaping peppermint right now. It's just that the spearmint is my favourite and what I have written down. Use your own favourite flavour.

Oh, trust me...I'm all over this! I just placed an order with PA for some Wintergreen as well. Right now I'm vaping some DIY light cherry. I really like it...but it could use some menthol...and maybe some wintergreen...and maybe some...
