Menthol 10% vs Menthol 'Flavor'

[Aheadatime]

Just got a TFA shipment in the mail and realized the menthol I ordered says "Menthol Flavor" rather than "Menthol 10% Solution", and the carrying agent in this one is alcohol as opposed to the PG that I'm used to. Whats the deal? Should I mix this at the same % as the 10% solution in my recipes?

I never use the 10 % solution , I only use the flavor concentrate, and 10 % is the amount of concentrate that I typically use in my menthol vapes. Add a bit of koolada (1/2 of whatever the % I use for the menthol- in this case 5 % )for the back of the throat ice and .1 % wintergreen, and .5 % Horehound, and it's really good for me.

I would think the 10 % solution would be for instant use, not really for blending ...also, if the throat hit from the alcohol is too harsh for you, just let it seep open and the harsh alcohol will evaporate without effecting it's ability to carry the flavor.

The Flavor Apprentice Menthol liquid in PG and also in alcohol is 66% menthol. Checked this at their website & both versions are the same strength.

I believe that your Menthol 10% solution is a Wizard Labs product, rather than TFA. I've never had this 10% solution, so I'm guessing here, but it looks like TFA Menthol liquid is 6.6 times stronger. I would err on the side of caution & mix your newest menthol liquid at a MUCH lower rate.

Perhaps someone who has had both can verify.

Copy and pasted to my recipe book. Sounds nice!
