Koolada amount
submitted about 9 years ago by Dracoster

Greetings, people of various genders and nongenders.

I recently bought a bottle of Koolada, wanting to add some coolness to my juices without the taste of menthol. But I am at an impasse; how much to use per when making 10 ml of juice? And does it require steeping? Or can I just add some to my Red Astaire which I usually shake and vape?

Start at 0.5% and work up. No steeping.

I don't disagree with tamachicken that 0.5% is a good starting place, but I would say work up OR down. A little goes a long way.

Yeah, I'd start at 0.25% and see.

Koolada concentrate is very strong, a tiny amount will do the job of adding the cooling effect.. for a 10ml mix a starting point of around 0.2% may work for you, adjust to your preferred taste.

I find the effect/strength/taste of koolada doesn't really change between a shake and vape or 2 month cure.

OP... I put Koolada in almost all my juices as I prefer cool fruit liquids.

It's pretty potent stuff and my "go to" level is 0.5%. Some recipes I use 0.25% and others as much as 1%, but I never go higher than that.

Depending on how you mix, 2-3 drops in a 10ml bottle will give it noticeable coolness. You can add it, shake it, and vape it immediately. It doesn't need to meld with the other flavorings.

I do 1 drop per 10ml. Or like 0.3%

I do the same. It gives a nice cool feel to the vape.

I usually use 0.75%, but I'll go up to a full percent sometimes.

I use 2 drops per 5ml, or about .8%. For me as a SNV it is strong however it tends to mellow over a weeks time.

So, I did some testing. Added a drop to 10 ml. Shaked and vaped. Nothing. No effect at all. Added another, same result. Added 3 more. Same. Added 5 more. Same.

It doesn't have a nice effect personally until I hit 2%
