making your own juice for prodigy

[Father Luke]

motorcity:

I've found that menthol crystals dissolve nicely in PG without
any need for alcohol. Has that been your experience?

 

[Vaporer]

I dissolve my menthol crystals crushed, packed tight and level in a 1/4teaspoon in 5 ml PG. Warm 5 seconds in the microwave and its 1 drop per ml to have a nice menthol taste.
No thinning of the juice either.

Sure, I bought 4oz from here for $10. These do not have any wax coating as some do.
4oz is a lifetime supply.....lol There are other vendors on ebay if you search menthol crystals. Some sell 2oz If I remember reading right in the forums late one night.
Mountain Rose Herbs | Bulk organic herbs, spices & essential oils

PG can be bought by the gallon from a Tractor Supply Store locally or Tractor Supply Company - Home . Its under the name Dionnes for ketosis in cows. The label shows USP Grade. I have a gallon being sent to my local store since only some stores carry it.
I've seen bottles of 16oz PG on here in pics in the Show Me Your Stash thread. I don't know the vendor, but you can PM the person that posted the pic.
I bought 16oz from my local pharmacy. They just asked what it was for and I told them. She was happy to order it for me and it was there in 2 days.

Hope that helps,

Vaporer

I'm not a menthol fan, but here is one that I'm enjoying on my prodigy.

2.5ml of PS 36mg Tasteless
1.25ml of VG / PG (whichever you prefer)
1.25ml of LorAnn's Cinnamon Roll Flavoring

Yields 5ml of 18mg Cinnamon Roll

The cinnamon gives me a pretty good throat hit.

Stick that in the DIY Recipies Thread.
I'm sure many would enjoy it.

Interesting posts. The first liquid I put in my Prodigy was cherry and the difference shocked me -- it really bumped up the flavor. (Since I haven't gone back to my previous gear, I can't compare anything else.) I assumed the extra heat was bumping up all the flavors.

Menthol: Flavor's so subjective... but I have a bottle of TW's Minty Chocolate that about blows my head off mintwise, but I couldn't taste any chocolate. Figured I'd save it for my next sore throat, it'd beat Cepacol. I just tried it again for the first time in the Prodigy -- and there's a trace of chocolate here. This is not a curl-up-and-relax vape, not for this ex-menthol smoker. If there is something mentholier than this, it is probably labeled "Altoid."

Trav, try Dawn at this address:

D.I.Y. " Do It Yourself Store"

Look in DIY Accessories for menthol crystals.

Top Level service and she has menthol crystals and everything else you could ever need to make your own stuff. The prices are fantastic too!!

I'd think that "made for 5v" liquids are more than marketing. Really depends on what they've done. One thing that would 'make it' for 5v would be bolder flavor, so that it doesn't get lost at higher voltage. You could do that yourself, by adding a larger percentage of flavoring to your mixes.

i wonder, why were you so wanting the original config of the prodigy? was it after that you discovered that the additional voltage dropped the flavor you had a second opinion? What changed your mind?

i did read the whole thread. i am curious to your opinion as i am still a newbie (of posts).

thank you, sir.

I wanted (and still use on occasion) the original configuration so that I could use 18650 batteries. When I use one, I get 2-3 days before I have to change it. I never intended to use it at 6v+... I just decided to try it to see what it was like. At this point, I only use the 5v switch with 801 attys. If I'm using the original switch, I use 901s... and I just ordered the 510 adapter and attys, which I will probably also use with the original switch.
