i only have tfa / tpa peppermint and seems like a lot of ppl on here use it and like it. i find it decent but not strong enough. i use it as a single flavor with menthol crystal drops. the menthol and the menthol in the peppermint affects the overall taste as well. Should i just buy a bottle of peppermint oil from a health shop online or are there flavors from the other companies that has a tasty peppermint?
need peppermint flavor recommendation

I've not used TFA peppermint. If it is not strong enough, it is not the oil. The oil should be used at about 1%. Much more than that will blow your head off!!
Lorann has peppermint oil. Super strong. A lot of the DIY vendors carry it.
It mixes fine for me with 25-30% VG, but I think some people mix it 1-1 with PGA first when their mix is predominately VG.

I mix this at about 1.5 2 percent with some EM or sweetener in a 100% VG base and its fantastic. Real peppermint kick without the menthol aftertaste.

Hey Now... Can I call you fafa-fooey?
Sorry, to answer your question...
2% Peppermint Oil, 8% EM to me tastes like an Altoid, but then again I don't ever get much sweetness from EM in any recipe. To my taste EM is less of a sweetener but it does add body to a mix.
I'm thinking of trying 1% PO and maybe 5~8% sucralose sweetener for a sticky sweat candy cane flavor. To me, the PO, while very strong, tastes more like what I expect when I think of peppermint than any of the other peppermint "flavors".

Hey now! long time stern fan here and actually got into vaping because of sal. I went ahead and bought some peppermint essential oil cheap on ebay. I like the candy cane peppermint more than altoids, but altoids is just fine. Im hoping like you, EM or sucralose can change the peppermint taste. I read that the PO is very menthol, do you add any menthol crystals/drops to your eliquid or is the PO alone is enough?
PO on it's own is more than enough mint for me and the EM helps mellow it out. It's just a matter of finding the ratio that works for you.
Gotta love sal. Don't know if he's really helping the gaping cause at all by being such an idiot some times. Would love to find out what he's using.

I agree with hubseven. TPA Peppermint is awesome but for me its sweet-spot is at 15% flavor. This coming from a guy which daily vape is this same peppermint for at least a year and a half.
Anyhow, you could try other flavors and see what happens. FYI: I tried the candy cane from flavorwest. It's not bad but i wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for peppermint alikes...

So any news on the best "candy cane" peppermint? I myself do not like the altoids taste at all.
Looking for both flavoring for DIY and juice from vendor. Only one I found from latter was too high PG for me.

Me too - and I also like strong flavors. I've been vaping this same batch of 15% peppermint for several days straight now - I really like it . .except if the voltage is too high . . .omg, yech.
TPA mint candy is very nice at around 12%. Its more candy cane than altoid. Pretty good on its own, though lately I've been adding 4% TPA vanilla ice cream for a nice creamy finish.

That sounds REALLY good, hilicat, thank you! I will try it out. Along with the vanilla, wow.
I set out, a week or so ago, to make a menthol/mint for my gf, to replace a store bought juice, which is sometimes out of stock. After several test batches, we settled on 15.5% TFA Peppermint. 1.5% TFA Menthol.
I'm not a big menthol vaper, but even I like this one.
