What is your menthol concentrate formula? + flavoring recommendations

[lurk]

Hey everyone, I just started vaping again 2 months ago after a couple years back on cigs and I'm looking to get more exact with my DIY menthol juice. I used to just dump a bunch of crystals into the bottle after I made 100 mils of juice. Now I'm looking to make some menthol concentrate and add some Koolada I got from TPA.

I'm planning to make 100 mils of concentrate so I have some handy whenever I need to mix up a new batch. I've got the ejuice calculator so I'm mainly looking for percentages.

1. For the concentrate, what is the weight ratio for the menthol crystals to PG? I'm looking to make 100 mil.
2. Should I ad some vodka (I'm in PA and can't get Everclear, unless I make a trip to WV) to help dissolve the crystals, if so how much?
3. When I'm mixing up a batch of juice what % of it should be the menthol concentrate? I like it pretty strong.
4. What % should I add of the Koolada to the total juice mix?

Also if anyone has any good flavoring recommendations that aren't menthol, feel free to post them. I'm looking to try some different stuff for smaller batches. Also what's a good tobacco flavoring to try out? I got a Perique, but I'm not digging it too much. Thanks for the info in advance.

Here is how TFA does it:

"Water soluble.

This is the same flavor as our menthol liquid, with PG instead of the alcohol

If you'd prefer to work with menthol crystals, you can duplicate our menthol blend by the ratio:

for 1000 grams
660 grams menthol crystals
340 grams PG

So, about 1 third PG and two thirds Menthol, by weight.

Ingredients: Menthol, Propylene Glycol"

-I copied and pasted from the TFA site.

Koolada is pretty strong stuff. Most don't ever go past 2% except for me it seems. I would say to start very low, like a half percent and go up from there.

I'm trying to do the same as you. I love menthol but hate the aromas like peppermint or any other mint... Just found two liquids that had no aftertaste and I'm trying to replicate at least one of them but it's not just menthol crystals... There is more to it.

Anyway, answering your question about other flavours that would go well with strong clean menthol... Blackcurrant. Yep, in low doses it gives a nice rounded finish in the taste without becoming boring or overwhelming

Good luck
