I can give you my experience with this, please bear in mind it only applies specifically when used with my set-up, for me.
YMMV
Pure peppermint oil added to a 100% VG-based
tobacco liquid works very well for me and was my all-day
vape for several months. The peppermint oil is fairly strong so you don't need a lot (two drops per ml of base is a starting point). If you add a tiny amount of menthol - and I do mean
tiny as menthol is extremely powerful - then you get an interesting 'layered' minty menthol taste, it's one of my favorite
tobacco recipes. You can get a tiny drop out of a syringe for example, and one tiny drop might do for 2ml of base. Of course, it depends on the strength of the menthol liquid used, I make mine by creating a saturated solution of menthol crystals in 90-10 VG + alcohol.
Notes:
- This oil works fine, for me, and I've had no problems of any kind. By this I mean that although I have very sensitive lungs, after a year of using it there are no issues (except of course my lungs are far better than when I smoked), and the atty is not affected in any way.
- I've had a couple of atties and carts dedicated to it for a very long time, and I have never cleaned them and they have never blown. Make of that what you will (1 stock atty @ 5v, 1 LR atty @ 3.7v).
- I only use 5 volts + a stock atty, or an LR atty @ 3.7 volts. I can't comment on a stock atty run at 3.7.
As far as I'm concerned peppermint oil has no effect on the atty or the lungs. However you might find different. People have reported their atties clogging but I'm assuming that is with stock atties @ 3.7v. Go to 6 watts and up and it works OK for me, at least 6 months of use with no cleaning or burnout tells the story. However there is one important point that needs to be mentioned here: I rotate 3 or 4 atties and flavors through the day, I don't use one atty all the time, so there are at least two factors here that might explain the atty longevity - they don't get caned, and they only get used for a third or a quarter of the time.
If you want strong TH then this recipe is good - use it at 5 volts, add some TE tobacco extract with alcohol, and you've got TH like a mule kick. Heavy smokers can't take it for example, it's too strong for them. Only chainvapers are tough enough
Cinnamon: I'd guess this would be similar but have no experience with it, I think some people's lungs would be sensitive to this and that would probably apply to me. I don't need it for the TH as it's easy to make powerful TH liquids without adding tabasco, cinnamon or whatever. A little added judiciously might be fun though, if I got some apple pie flavor it would be worth considering.
Hey I just noticed I already answered this thread. WTF?? Guy if you don't have enough info by now then you need to ........[censored]
