Was going to ask if you like the Koolada or not? been very busy with work lately and hardly find time to hit the forums as much.
Hey there ToweKnee,
I'm not entirely sure about Koolada yet. I think I'll really enjoy it in a few mixes, but I haven't found my sweet spot with it. At first I couldn't detect it, and before I knew it, there was too much. I got the impression it builds up a little on the atty once you reach a tipping point, since after the last add it gradually came on.
I was surprised that so much of the cooling effect actually hit my lips and not as much everywhere else. It's a lingering effect - but maybe only half that of menthol and the lingering effect hasn't the taste influence that menthol does. I have to
really feel like having menthol, otherwise I am not up for waiting for the sensation/taste to wear off. Even though Koolada lingers a little, I don't think that will really put me off.
It is neat to get the cooling effect w/out the strong menthol taste and I understand totally why so many use it with fruits, it does give them a fresh/bright feel. I'm sure I'll play with it a bit more.
What % do you usually mix it at?
Glad to hear you are busy with work (but hopefully not TOO busy - still better than not having enough [or any] work).
