Really new to DIY

[KjAthena]

I was given 120ml of unflavored 12mg 50/50 from a friend that quit vapeing. I currently have McCormick pure flavorings and was wondering if I could mix peppermint with a small amount? Is peppermint a tank cracker? I will be buying proper flavors but would really like to try a pure peppermint vape as I have not found any (I hate spearmint and menthol and most seem to be mixes with them included)
Thanks in advance

Hi KjAthena!

First off welcome to the world of DIY E-juices! I would not recommend using McCormick's Pure Peppermint because its pure oil, and I tried that once when I first started DIY juices and it gave me a weird coating on my throat and made me feel sick for a while. The peppermint flavorings you can buy that are "Okayed" for e-juices do contain peppermint oil but lower amounts, thus not having any adverse affects. Plus, you will really need sweetner for your e-juice batches or anything you may make will taste terrible! I would recommend waiting and buying the proper flavorings and sweetner to mix with your nic 12mg pg....And Yes, Pure Peppermint oil runs the risk of a tank cracker...So I wouldn't risk it! If you're really wanting to try something NOW!!(Excited ) Then try a little Vanilla extract with your nic pg and some diluted Splenda in distilled water in mix together....I've tried this and it does work...not all that great I may add, but it will be vape~able. Have fun!

I would really love something strong like altoids...yummmmm

Just curious, what level of Nic do you normally vape ?

The reason I ask is that if you buy some of the flavorings most of us use, most all of them are in a base of PG and will be diluting that 12 mg Nic down pretty drastically.

I use 60 MG in VG to mix and it also doesnt seem to bother me if gotten on my skin.

If you decide to order flavors you might want to try this,To me its like they melted a mint candy for vaping,Really good.

I have recently dropped down to 12mg...but if I was not clear what he gave me was plain 50pg/50vg with 12MG nic.I do realize I will be knocking the nic down a bit by adding flavorings...just want to make a really strong not too sweet peppermint vape Not sure why I havent been able to find one....off to shop for some yummy flavorings now
