Menthol flavour problem!!!!!! Omgoshhhhh

[Superuser187]

I mixed some juice with TPA menthol liquid flavour...the bottle is plastic from another juice I have bought in past and I see the bottle now and it's no longer clear....!!!!!
Is the menthol liquid like that? Makes it look like the bottle is dimmed??
Or the menthol is somehow desolving the plastic bottle????
HEEEEEELP I AM SCAAAAAAREDDDD!!!!!!!

Is the juice dark, or the plastic? Got a pic?

It's clear juice it's just the bottle is dim and looks like it's frosen or caramelized...the juices looks ok but that's not normal and I haven't vape it yet and probably won't...just hoped it was normal....I tried take a pic but it's not visible....if nobody ever had this happen then...I guess this juice bottle somehow reacts to the menthol flavour for some reason...

I suppose it's possible, but I really doubt it, unless there was something wrong with the bottle to begin with, or wasn't fully cleaned out before mixing.

It was cleaned very good and also dry very good...I just put the juice into another bottle and.....turns out the juice is what became all white and much thicker...was hard to take it out of the bottle....I am gonna throw it away....wierd tho...I am gonna make a small portion into another bottle I have now different brand and see if same happens and if so then I will try glass bottle....wierd af man

I just used another plastic bottle and one glass bottle and I will leave them and see....seems tho like they already kinda change colour...maybe it's that menthol flavouring like that??? We will see

When I mix juice, even unflavored, it becomes cloudy after I shake the bottle. My guess is it's trapped air, and it settles out in time. Maybe you're getting that?

Where did you get your ingredients? You have used the VG, PG, and nic before this with success?

I googled a bit and seems that many people get that and they say menthol crystalizes and it's kinds common and they heat it to become normal...I already trew it away tho hahahah....also seems I used very much 5% they all say is overkill Soo maybe that's why the effect was bad... XD

Cloudy is Many Times a sign of an Oil Based Flavoring.

And 5% is going to be pretty Face Melting. Unless you are Really into Menthol.

I agree. Peppermint is the same (at least when used alone). I mixed 2.25% peppermint and it was too much that it tasted and smelled like after shave lotion. No joke. Turns out 0.25% to 0.5% is where it needs to be for me.

Maybe TPA menthol liquid is not sooo good I guess...it's first time I get this and I used to drip once in a full tank and it was strong and ok for me...kinda over powered on some puffs but ok hahahah....I just wanted to make a juice with it and then drip that into the tank with other juice cause I like it but it's not for everyday for me....lesson learned lol

Tank cracker eliquids cause PC and some other plastic tanks to get cloudy and/or crack.

Clear juice bottles are typically PET plastic but perhaps that bottle you have is not PET and may not even be a safe plastic for eliquid. I don't know, just sayin'

I'm Not really a Fan of Menthol. It's OK. But after "Tainting" an RTA after using Menthol in it, figured it just wasn't worth it.

And I ended up giving the RTA away because I couldn't get the Hint of Menthol out of it.

Tainting means couldn't get the flavours out of it even with washing??? Dam

 

[Superuser187]

Also menthol hit hard on the throat hahaha

Yeah... It gets into the O-Rings/Insulators and the Drip Tip.

I could get about 99.5% of the Flavor out of the RTA. But there was always a Hint of Menthol.

BTW - Part of that remaining 0.5% might be Psychological. But even if it is, Menthol was a road I Don't want to go down again.

But that's just Me.

TFA Menthol is just 10% menthol crystals dissolved in PG. When the temperature is cooler, the bottle was crystallise. Warm it by plonking it in a cup of warm water.

Or you can do what I did, and warm it by placing the bottle in the microwave. After a few seconds, it went BOOM! The cap blew off, releasing menthol all over my microwave. 2 years later it still smells minty fresh

And using it as a flavour, it's bloody strong. Start at 0.5% and work your way up

I haven't tried menthol (discovered PUR Butter mint and loved it so much I haven't bothered with anything else) I also have LB white chocolate peppermint but it's great all by itself. The butter mint goes so well with fruits. Anyway, maybe this video will help:
