Uses for Butter Mint

[vaper1960]

I'm not sure but I'm guessing "butter mint" is both peppermint and spearmint... anyone have an opinion about that?
Also, besides butter, they have a bit of cream... that's why I chose this over regular mint flavor.

Update: did some quick and dirty taste tests... (in order, best to worst)
1. peanut butter banana (actually very good!)
2. lemon (with a bit of vanilla custard) best of the fruits
3. berry mix (works very well)
4. mango peach (seemed like it was fighting with the mint)
5. vanilla butter nut (needed something... kinda boring)
Partial cred it to Atty Pops for suggesting peanut butter
Going to try a few more tomorrow: RY4, vanilla custard and green apple (candy) Can't stand green apple myself (prefer apple pie) but who knows... didn't think peanut better banana would be so good
Side note: also tested my french toast and apple pie with FA cinnamon ceylon... worked great! Very subtle.

Looked at a bag of actual butter mints... seems they are just peppermint. That's fine with me. I am so glad I tried this instead of just mint.
Had to wait to try the others... most of these were 12 mg.

That sounds like a good add to a vanilla cookie. Also, 1d/10ml of TFA Joy will give the cookie a doughy texture.

just a thought.

I just ordered Purilum cookie (also have vanilla custard) That does sound good.

Will have to wait to do more taste tests... have a bad cold. I just tried Hangsens RY1 (actually mixed stronger than suggested)... nothing. Added a few drops directly in the tank... still nothing. Drank some cheap "sweet red" wine (gift from a neighbor)... nothing. Finally, my most flavorful juice (mango peach cake)... nothing. Might as well switch to unflavored for a few days.

So, is the buttermint peppermint, or is there spearmint in it, too? I can't stand spearmint for some reason it tastes like soap to me. You have me excited to try it if it's just peppermint!

I think they're all the derived from mint extracts, but I'm just guessing. Since I didn't put much thought into it there is a 50/50 chance I am right.

It's peppermint. Doesn't seem as "hot" because of the butter and a bit of creme... that's why I like it. I don't really like spearmint either (except actual leaves in iced tea) I wish I had some dark chocolate to try with it (actually, I've never tried any chocolate flavors... keep forgetting it) I don't have much to work with, and can only make small orders (very low budget) but have my methods down and not afraid to try new things!

Thank you! I will put it on my list. I love those little things, lol.

Tastes like a Brach's buttermint to me, even has that lovely velvety texture the real mints do.

Thanks, Letitia, that's exactly what I'm hoping for!

I'm back! Over the cold... have my sense of smell and taste again so finished the taste testings. Here's the results (from best to worst)
1. Vanilla custard (works great with the butter mint)
2. RY4 (it's mostly caramel/vanilla... interesting combo)
3. Pear/melons (a natural for mint)
4. Lemon (I'm thinking this and the vanilla custard would be great)
5. Green apple (seems to work well)
6. White grape (didn't go well together)
I have some Berry mix but didn't have any mixed... should go great with the butter mint. Next time I order flavors, getting dark chocolate to try also. This was a fun and interesting journey. I really recommend Purilum Butter Mint to anyone looking for a smooth creamy mint.

I did get some! And I love it! It is now in my rotation, mixed more today. I also did a sampler with some cocoa, see how it goes.

My Cocoamint Swirl :
50ml bottle
1ml Cap Hot Cocoa
1/2ml Pur Butter Mint
1/2ml cap graham cracker
1ml Cap Vanilla Cupcake
1ml TFA Vanilla Swirl

I've mixed up 4 bottles of this so far

classwife, that sounds so good. I basically have all those (or very similar) except the chocolate... can't wait to try this!

I think it's yummy - hope you do too !

I had to try it... butter mint with cinnamon (FA cinnamon ceylon) Not that it was really bad but the two just "clash"... kinda fighting each other. So... since the peanut butter banana worked so well, I put some in the tank with what was left... not bad at all (won't be doing that regular though) I didn't get a chocolate but am getting a pre-made "Smores" so will try that next. As much as I like coffee in real life, I doubt I will getting any (I just vape juices that go well with my morning coffee) but suspect butter mint would work well with a "mocha". Overall, it seems to work well with fruits (except grape and green apple... but I don't like those anyway) Goes really well with melons (and lemon)
classwife, going to try your recipe (substituting what I have including the smores I'm getting) Eventually will get the proper flavors (I already know I'm going to like it)

Ordered cantaloupe-tfa-, instead got brown sugar-tfa. What do you do with brown sugar?
I think I posted this on the wrong thread, sorry!
