Round off menthol in a receipe?

submitted over 3 years ago by alexandereberle

Hey guys,

I made pretty decent mix that includes quiet a lot menthol and WS23. After letting it steep for a while the menthol/ws23 taste is quiet harsh and feels almost too "spicy". I tried to lower down the percentage but after doing so the recipe doesnt work out for me anymore.

So my question here is if theres any flavor I could add to the mix that rounds off the menthol spike? I was thinking of TPA Marshmallow but wanted to make sure and ask you guys before making another batch.

Really appreciate your answers and happy vaping! Thanks.

If you really enjoy the recipe and want to salvage your mix, you'll have to double or triple the recipe minus the menthol and ws23. This will weaken the menthol and ws23 and keep the rest of the recipe at full strength.

You could try TFA smooth or increase the sweetener, or let it steep.

I use 8% menthol crystals.

2% flv cool menthol

2% inw coolada

3% ws23

And mine doesn't seem "spicy"

Are you sure it's not your nicotine?

TPA Coconut is very round, try that with the Marshmallow!

Thank you! I will try that. How potent is the TPA Coconut? Guess Coconut doesnt really fit in that receipe (Mint-Milkshake) but I am def. gonna try that.

You can put 2% Coconut in just about anything spiky but as a standalone flavor it doesn't really work

Thank you! Yeah, I'm a fan of blueberry/koolada/menthol too. But afaik Blueberry doesnt really cuts off the menthol harshness.

Flavor West has one of the best menthols I only use 2.5~% in my gifs mint menthol but u could use 3% or even 4% but its pretty good n strong n can't see u needing more than 3.5%

3% FW in combo with 1-1.5%ws23 should be fine

I think too much is too much. Adding more of anything will most likely just make the mix worse. It would help though, if you would post the actual recipe, that way it would be easier to make suggestions that could fit. If not, toss it and start over. See it as a learning experience, one of many to come on your DIY journey.

This right here is a great use of ws23. I'm a fan of it myself and I find that if a recipe sleeps a long time the ws23 seems to intensify. I'm a huge fan of this recipe. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Maybe if you are going to let your current recipes steep for a while bring down the ws23 a little bit.

Ya that's a great recipe. Just cracked open a 50ml bottle of it. Very first time I mixed this and knuckle tested I thought 'hell no, wintergreen does NOT go with bav cream'. But it vapes wonderfully.
