DIY Noob here......but my brother will be over tonight and I promised him peppermint..

I've got base mixed fine (35%VG prior to flavor)........I have Lorann's peppermint oil.......read somewhere mixing with a little PGA will somewhat break up the oil?

Anybody any info on that? And about how much flavoring to start with? (10ml base)

Thanks yall

Never heard that PGA would break up the oil but PGA will add to the TH and peppermint already has a strong TH so be careful and just use a couple of drops if you use it. Peppermint is strong so start with just 3-4 drops, give it a good shake and test it. It's one of those that if you get it too strong it will be hard to dilute the flavor.

If you mix the oil with a little PGA before adding it to your nic it will help it mix better. Otherwise you have to shake it quite a bit over a few days sometimes for it to completely blend. It's okay, just shake well before putting it in your cart. Read the ingredients because some suppliers already add the alcohol.
