Caliburn: Mints and Menthols that don't crack polycarbonate?
submitted about 6 years ago by BukatetsuOne of "The Damned"

Sooo I was given a recipe of polar blast and creme de menthe for my Caliburn... It's a tank buster as well, worse than Inawera Mix Mint at 2.5 days vs 6 days of Mix Mint.

I have an international 1 week trip in the next few days and need a minty/menthol juice that is EXTRA mentholated for my trip.

I'd do 40% WS-23 but I don't have WS-23. I'm thinking of mixing 2.5% FA Polar Blast and 5% TPA Menthol 10% and calling it a day, never even tried that mix or know if it'll bust my Caliburn pods as well... It's starting to seem that I cannot vape menthols/mints at all in the Caliburn.

I tried a simple Lemonade mix of INW Lemon and INW Lemon Mix and it's too harsh... Maybe if I add Marshmallow, EM or Super Sweet into it, it'll be more smooth... I don't know.

Here's what I have but unsure of their tank busting qualities:

TPA 10% Menthol

Cool Mint (Cap)

Frost (Inawera)

Menthol (Arctic Winter) (FA)

Polar Blast (FA)

Peppermint (TPA)

I love sweet mints, like mint pastels and creme de menthe. Not a big fan of Wintergreen unless it was Wrigley's Double Mint... I just need 30mls for my trip and need something cooling and/or minty... Sigh.

Heeeelp!

EDIT:

Got home, drained the Lemonade (probably cracking my pods too because citrus), and plopped in me 5% Mix Mint juice... It's so perfect but goddamnit, people get 2-3 weeks out of a Caliburn pod and here I am getting 3-6 days. Mix Mint is just so damned perfect. I have a feeling cooling agents are the culprit... Or maybe it is the mints... I don't know. But if Mix Mint is Spearmint, Peppermint or both with a cooling agent and a hint of sweetener... I'm screwed. This is literally all I like to vape, and maybe i'll just have to buy a different stealth vape setup... Afterall Grimm Green, despite the fact that I take his videos for a grain of salt, says the caliburn is a bad travel vape on the only count of the pods needing to be deadass empty. Such a shame as I'm out of options before I go overseas... Sigh.

Aorry about the FLV Creme de Menthe suggestion not working. Thought FLV was safe. Straight menthol+wintergreen would likely be okay. Worst case scenario, pick up a juul and mint pods at the duty free in the airport?

Hey, it's not your fault, I should've done more reasearch. To be honest I was planning on a CDM flavor anyways. I just can't stand my Dovpo Topside Dual whatsoever due to the ergonomics of it. So i'll have to figure something out... The Duty Free doesn't sound too bad, but I know a Juul will just cost too much at an airport and be less of a setup than the caliburn is for me (I love the DL draw off the Caliburn). I wish I had seen and heard of MyBlu setups, can't believe Blu's are so cheap now. They had a $7.99 + two mint pod setup yesterday, but I couldn't justify the $15 after shipping. I have 3 Caliburn pods that should last me, I just hope this pod i'm currently using lasts me till Saturday morning.

If you had more time I'd say get the simple ex tiny squonker. Super small and no polycarbonate tank. But since you only have a few days, you might just need to bring some extra pods or however that works

Have this and I found the bottle actually leaches a silicon kinda taste , washed it out all before hand and stuff and I couldn't stand it , also the RDA that comes with it is horrible for a tight MTL . Kinda a shame because I thought it was gonna be the pod killer I've been waiting for😂😂

Good to know. I love squonkers the most... Odd and sad that the silicone bottle is bad quality. I'm thinking of the DotAIO when I get back... But after just recently dropping so much on the Dovpo Topside Dual and 2 Caliburns (TS Dual is horrible, imo). I can't justify spending more on vaping much anytime soon...

​

Although I might look for a stealth squonk setup soon, because it's either I drop the cash now, or keep paying out the ass on these pods.

Oddly, I used to vape this exclusively in the past. I tried this prior to ordering some extracts and it was very harsh in the Caliburn for some reason... I'ma probably try mixing a Fuji Apple/Polar Blast/Sucralose mix prior to leaving.

There is no getting around tank cracking flavors.

I look forward to the suggestions. I love the sweet mint flavor of the Myle and I would love something similar for the Caliburn.

Flv spearmint has been safe for me. I use it in my toothpaste recipe
