I've seen online that it's called koolada but I also see something called ws-23 and other ws drops and I'm really not sure what it is that I need or how they differ.
Ws23 100%. I don’t use it but I make juice for several friends who absolutely love that shit. I mix it 5% boysenberry 5% strawberry 1.5 ws23 and 1% sweetener and that’s been a hit.
Is it pretty cheap for me to get into that and make my own nic salts? How much would it cost me to make?
Not much different to regular NIC juice, look at the cost breakdown in the sidebar, I love ws-23 it's just the cooling, anything else adds minty or menthol notes, start with a test under 0.5% though.
Also yes you can add it to regular juice with almost no negative repurcussions
Here we get commercial salts starting at ~2'5€ for the cheapest most basic brands/flavours (like, plain mint, or plain strawberry) going up to 3~3'5€ for the not-shit liquids or almost 5€ for the top-quality brands. All of this in 10ml bottles and 20mg max (some brands will have options for 18, 16, 12, 10)
Using aromas I like (~11€/30ml) I've calculated my 10ml cost to be around 1'5€ at most (this is making the full 20mg juices, since a bottle of unflavoured but nicced juice [from the brand I like] costs ~1'2€). I've not calculated for my usual 3mg or 0mg
Be ridiculously sparing when you add mint, menthol, coolada, or anything similar to an existing juice...
A couple drops of some menthols in a 500ml batch is noticable. A few drops in a 30ml bottle can completely wreck shop :)
Not saying don't try it or anything, just saying to start way way small with it.
WS23 bangs. Always have a bottle to hand in the shop to get my desired cold hit. 👌
One thing I will say is start low, try it and add more if you need. I've ruined a couple of juices by overdoing it right off the bat 😆
Koolada is definitely what you’re looking for.
What's the difference between that and the ws?

I don't trust that ws-23 stuff, sounds a little too much like WD-40. I know people have been vaping it for a few years now but I think you should stick to the classics. mint, spearmint, menthol.
It has some seriously strange interactions. It makes custards, curds, any thick cream/ vanilla flavor go rancid. Pretty much only pairs with one dimensional flavors like fruit. You can maybe use two of the same fruit.
If mint isn't enough, reconsider your habits.
Really? Haha it's definitely not WD-40, but I can see why you'd think that. I just don't really like the flavor of mint too much, I just like the cold. I'll only be using it in fruit flavors.
Do you have another reason not to trust it other than the name sounding scary?
