I've been unable to find VG Koolada. I'm assuming I can dissolve the powder in VG? Perhaps I should warm the VG first? Instructions say to use PG. Does anyone have experience with this?
I order from them a lot and never added Koolada to my order. I once bought the premade PG blend (TFA I think) and when I used a few drops in a couple DIY mixes, they turned into a gel-like substance so had to throw them out. The kool effect would be interesting though. I like very mild menthol and minty-menthol in some of my mixes. I use 100% VG and only alcohol-based flavors now.
I've no reason to think it wouldn't mix with VG, I use the premade koolada in my 50:50 PG/VG blends right up to 99.5% VG with 0.5% PG koolada and it does it's thing just fine. You may just want to wet it out a bit with some high test grain alcohol prior to the mixing to make things go easier.
I'll ask ECX when they open. I may just try it although the shipping for one item will be almost as much as the powder!
I've been looking for a good peppermint. As in the plant flavor vs candy. Any suggestions?
I've also been on the lookout for a good VG eggnog recipe. Any ideas? I've got TFA Holiday Spice and thought I'd add it to a cream and rum.
I'm expecting an order from VZ today. It includes two from their gourmet line which IS PG but used at a very low %. I'm quite PG intolerant but perhaps a drop or two in 10ml may be tolerated. We'll see.
Thank you, Steve. I think I have that thread memorized I'm not sure if the limits of being PG intolerant are a curse or a blessing. On one hand it limits what you can use. On the other hand it limits what you can buy!
Customer service said that it will work in VG but to use less powder as PG is a better solvent. When asked if I should warm the VG first they said that yes, that would help. I'm thinking a little PGA would also aid in the mix then steep it out afterward. Looks like I'll give it a go!

I have not yet ordered the powder but have still been researching technique. I was advised by a local mixer to use half VG and half PGA or 151 rum then let the alcohol steep out for three days. I'll try this method as soon as I get the Koolada powder.
