I don't always use a cooling agent, but when I do I use WS-23. Stay thirsty my friend!

WS-3 (koolada) is twice as potent as WS-23 when both are pure crystals. However, WS-23 is sold in a 30% dilution and koolada is a 10% dilution, so using concentrates WS-23 is 50% more cooling.

But really, you want to use WS-23 and FA Polar Blast in equal amounts so you can get cooling from inhale tbru exhale. And percentages to use is totally personal since everyone has different tolerances. (And because if you vale at higher temperatures you have more heat to overcome in order for the cooling to sell to your brain that there's a cold flavor beverage or popsicle or whatever.

I'm saving that one. "WS-23 and Polar Blast 50/50" - thank you.

I get strange notes when using Koolada, it's a weird soapy mouthfeel and it does have a taste. So far I've experimented with Black Ice and so forth, never got to a satisfactory icy taste, making something like a slurpee would be impossible. But that 50/50 combo must do the trick. I shall try that.

Koolada is stronger and typically sold as a 10% dilution and WS-23 is typically sold as a 30% dilution. In general most people find that they can use WS-23 at higher percentages before getting off notes.

It sounds like someone's about to ruin a batch of juice by using Koolada in place of WS-23.

I am not any form of pork, even coolant-related.

Coolant Gestapo, perhaps.

WS-23 is awesome but use sparingly. I got that shit in my sinuses and was raw/dried out for 2 days.

I'd start on the lower side when using ws-23. I need to build up a tolerance in the beginning or I just end up in a coughing fit lol.

I use a lot of Koolada, but just .5% Ws23 seems to chill my lungs considerably.

INW does sell WS-23 as "koolada WS-23". They may sell actual koolada ( WS-3) as well, I never needed to check...

Thats why i'm asking. On inawera.com there's only one product with the name coolada (with c), and on some other stores it's being called coolada ws-23.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing inawera.com selling WS-23.

I threw my koolada out and only use ws23.

Koolada seemed to mute recipes imo. Ws23 is a nice clear cool
