Do you add a "menthol additive" to your other flavored liquids, or do you do like I do and add menthol flavored liquids with nicotine with your flavors?

Would it be better for me to just buy the menthol additive? I'm thinking I'm diluting my flavors this way. I can't vape any flavors without adding menthol. Kinda sucks since banana nut bread won't taste too great minty lol.

I tend to have some strong menthols in another tank that I switch back and forth with. I've had a few with added mint, and they were just so so.... I still like strong other flavors, so they don't need mint. Like Black Licorice, or spicy chai.

If you get a strong enough menthol additive that only takes a few drops per tank, I wouldn't worry too much about diluting things, unless your mixing things 50/50, in which case I would just mix it with a strong menthol e-liq.

I was a menthol smoker for over 40 years and that's what I started vaping with. Gradually, I tried other juices like desserts, coffees, bakery, etc. I have menthols that I could add but I haven't felt the need to. If you're adding, say, 24mg menthol to 24mg other flavor, you wouldn't be diluting it. I just happen to vape 24mg so used that as an example.

I usually end up with about 30%menthol liquid (i use v2s liquid, its the only one I've had and I really like the strength of the menthol) and 70% other flavor. I'm thinking I'm probably diluting the flavor, not the strength. I'm just trying to find out if its worth my while to try an additive, because I wouldn't need to add as much of it, maybe?

I added some prothol to my maha ras - both perform well, but maha ras is so good and hard to get and I wanted to stretch it out... so I'll add a good performing, clean menthol like prothol from vaporcast or ice cold menthol from gej to a juice to stretch it out -

....but usually I add menthol drops... changes the character of the juice less...

I add menthol to fruits, existing menthols etc... sometimes tobaccos... but not to carmel or bakery type juices

I have just started vaping after being a menthol analog smoker. I have an Ismoka Mini BBC atomizer and tank.

I add 3 to 6 drops of 6 mg eLiq Cube Frozen Tundra to all my flavors. I have 2 melon flavors and a grape flavor at different mg levels (still trying to find the lowest nic level I can that still keeps me off analogs) I find it helps punch up the flavor of the flavors I have.

Soon I will shop for new stronger flavors. I will see if I still need to add menthol to like them.

Since I only use a few drops, I am not concerned about diluting the nic content.

Off topic, but I have the mini bcc by ismoka too! Two of them, they're great!

And I'm not concerned with diluting nicotine, just flavors. Infact I would be okay with diluting nicotine because I tend to vape a lot at night time. I use 6 regularly, and keep a 12 on hand incase I need it (i am easily stressed).

So are prothol and ice cold regular juices? which has a stonger menthol flavor? When you say menthol drops, that's just the additive right?
