Hello all. Long time no see. I am stopping by for some DIY help. I think I'm getting frustrated with mixing my own juices due to flavors changing/ fading. I might have asked this but right now I'm using alltheflavors to get ideas for mixing. What websites/apps are used here? Tried and tested recipes. Recently I went with a recipe that called for peppermint but it had no reviews. I like menthol vapes so I gave it a go and I'm sure is vicks vapor rub as the end result (fyi vaping this will make you need vicks). I've diluted it twice but its still a no go. Any help will be much appreciated.

I like e liquid recipes. You can find recipes there sometimes that have reviews. There’s a lot of really good mixers on this thread. Someone should be able to help. I don’t vape menthol/mint, so can’t help there. Vapor rub definitely doesn’t sound vapable!!

My suggest would be to do a single flavor test using 5ml of your base(nic,pg,vg) and start with 1%. Up it until you reach your desired taste. What flavor vendor did you buy from(brand)? Peppermint is very strong and a little goes a long way. Same with menthol. Do you buy your menthol already mixed or do you buy the crystals and do it yourself?

:) eta Peppermint should never go above 5%. Only use %5 when you have a severe cold and cannot taste anything else.

I purchased from bcf. It was a 30ml bottles and I used 33 drops of peppermint. Cant remember the percentages but I remember almost pausing at the amount of drops it called for. Smh at following uit and not doing a small batch. But nothing tops my 120 ml bottles of strawberry mix that's unvapeable.

What flavors do you like? Menthol goes well with a lot of fruits, esp. lemonade. I have several excellent recipes that include menthol and usually another cooling agent, like WS-23. One is just a plain, sweet menthol, one is a Creme de Menthe with menthol, one is a remix of Naked 100's Very Cool (a cool berry with menthol), one is a Pink Lemonade. I am happy to share. All are tried and proven.

33 drops is around 1 ml which is a little over 3%. Which brand from bcf? Cut that bottle in half and add only nic base to put the bottle back up to 30ml. See if that helps.

@Sugar_and_Spice was asking you what brand your peppermint is (Flavor Art, TFA, Inawera, etc.) Each is a little different in strength. I like menthol vapes and I like some coolant in most of my juices but I have never really found a peppermint I particularly like.

Oh no,I did it again................:lol:

I really don't think the FDA can ban our flavors as they are part of the food industry. What really bothers me is that "some" flavors will disappear.
Yeah I think some of the tobacco flavors will disappear bc they only want what BT uses and that is grown in US. Just my thoughts.

:)
