I'm locked and loaded. Need suggestions to get a good Menthol & Mint going.
submitted about 9 years ago by xx2000xx

Extreme Ice has been my ADV for 4 years now since the first day I started vaping and still going strong with at least a tank a day faithfully from this toothpaste. However my life is now ruined because I picked up a bottle of White Walker from SeduceJuice 2 weeks ago which is on some serious next lvl than anything I've had before. So instead of fretting or going back to buying juice at $35 for 120ml I'm going to see if I can make something that I'm content with.

I'd like to try and keep my base with Extreme Ice (FW) which is menthol & wintergreen and I mix at 15-20% - That might seem high but I believe 15% is standard for MBV and every flavor shot is another 5%. I know I'll have to drop that down big time or not even use it, no biggie as I'm open to anything.

I did a lot of research on what mint flavorings to get from here and reading reviews & notes. I got Wintergreen (FW), White Winter (Spearmint) FlavourArt, Mix Mint (INW). I wanted regular Mint from INW but they didn't have it and Mix adds menthol so I wasn't bothered.

I can go in many directions but don't have a starting point so hopefully some of the M&M fiends could give me any pointers or experience with the flavorings.

I already have Creme De Menthe (TFA), Peppermint (TFA), Cool Mint (CAP), and of course Koolada & Menthol 10% to play with also.

It doesn't get much better than INW Mint flavorings. Mix mint Is the best, followed by Natural Mint.

I found Natural Mint to taste a bit like toothpaste, but in a good way.

The only additional flavor I can recommend is INW Eucalyptus and Mint. That stuff is amazing and the cooling effect is 2x Menthol IMO. I mix it with Menthol and a fruit when I have a sore throat.

Even with those flavours you'll find a decent amount of variety.

My favourite's "face melt" which is basically 4% menthol / 3% pepper Mint. Spearmint makes a suitable replacement also.

Anyway your mileage may vary but enjoy trying some. :)

I was thinking of mixing the whole lot basically. Does Wintermint + Spearmint + Peppermint play nice with each other? I take it Winter & Spear does and I was going to throw the Mix Mint with extreme ice in as that is what I had in mind when ordering. What plays well with each other and % are going to be the issue.

I'm going to go balls out for my first try. Extreme ice + spear/winter/pepper mint + Mix Mint + Cool Mint. If that's not minty I don't know what would be. I read Menthol is a natural occurring chemical in mints although Wintergreen isn't one but that should give me enough blast without having to add menthol (10%) or koolada.

I should add that I'm throwing it in my taifun/kayfun v5 at 10-30 watts. I'm not looking to use it in a griffin or high wattage, I don't know how it's humanly possible to do so either.

I just run 1% menthol (10%) and 3% peppermint TFA. I call it peppermenth.

I just mixed that and man that's some good stuff. Now I have a good starting point on trying to see if I can improve it with all my different mint/menthols.

Nice, glad I could help.

If you get a next level mix going let me know. Peppermenth is my ADV as I get tired of virtually every other flavour.

I take it you've tried that but with Wintergreen or Spearmint instead? I just my flavoring and it's time to experiment. The hyped FA Spearmint and INW Mix Mint will be mixed it at it's correct single flavor % and then I'll throw .5 or 1% menthol in later to compare.

I make this stuff for my father all the time, who insists on mixing it with everything else I make him

I have been diy'ing my own liquids for over a year now, tried all sorts, but my own menthol has been my adv for a while now, I mix my own Menthol from crystals and my own em with em powder, I just find it tastes better and is far more cost effective, my recipe is simple... 5% Peppermint 5% cap Vanilla custard 4% Menthol 3% Koolada 3% E.M. from time to time I'll add a little sugar cookie or vanilla cupcake in there but as it is it's a really nice adv. give it a try man ;)

The best stand alone mint flavour I've come across is Inawera's Frost. If your a fan of spearmint, this flavour is for you!

It's very potent as 1-1.5% is all you'll need.

It's fresh, slightly sweet, very minty and has a similar cooling effect to that of Koolada. 10/10 for flavour and potency, without any noticeable throat hit. Very well crafted all-in-one concentrate. I highly recommend it to any mint fan out there!

This is my ADV: Logan's Winter Ice

Flavor | Brand | % | ---------|----------|---------- | Wintergreen | TPA | 10 | | Menthol | TPA | 4 | Don't get scared by the high menthol percentage, it's well balanced.

edit: I never vaped this @ sub ohm, but at 14W on a 1.2ohm coil in a kayfun5 it's splendid.
