Back again lol

[nell]

Hi again friends.
My last post on here I said I had a chest infection which I thought was due to me smoking my Nicolite disposable, well it has turned out it was unrelated as it was the start of the FLU! lol
What I have done (good or not) I dripped one drop of olbas oil into the hole on the "filter" of the Ecig and my goodness what a great smoke it was, being a menthol smoker it has given me the "kick" I so needed!
So all is good and back to vaping I go!
And apologies if I gave vaping a bad name in assuming that was what caused my chest infection

[Chrissie]

Nothing to apologise for at all (((Nell))) so sorry to hear you have the flu though

Going to be completely honest though & say I'm not sure about how safe it is vaping Olbas oil. But if you do like the idea of a menthol vape with tons of vaper, then go for a VG (vegetable Glycerine) based e-liquid. For instance : -

Noone can give e-cigs a bad name fortunatly, so no worries there Nell.

To echo Chrissie, not sure vaping olbas oil is a good idea. Stick to the proper e-juice

[vaped]

I drop menthol crystals into bottles of juice, or mix up some other flavourings. As long as its PG juice, they don't disolve in VG. I like it so strong it brings tears to my eyes
I buy them online, or should say bought as 2 packets has lasted me a year or more and still loads left. I expect its been posted before but just incase www.baldwins.co.uk/Miscellaneous/Baldwins-Miscellaneous/Baldwins-Menthol-Crystals-10g/11330/908
Nice shop.

Olbas oil is just a blend of pure essential plant oils .It only contains clove oil,levomenthol,cajuput oil, eucalyptus,mint and juniper berry oils all safe in aromatherapy and as inhalants.
Its only as a temp measure and by golly its clearing up my congestion no end!

Does that have a good strong menthol taste? As my usual analogues are Richmond menthol and they are the strongest flavour out there

[Chrissie]

Not tried it myself Nell but if you email James at paradise vapes he usually adds more flavour to his juices on request Either that or give Fruits (Vaped @ post #3) suggestion a go at using menthol crystals

That's the way I like it too. Sadly the battery is dying on my disposable now so can't give any more current updates, but it was good whilst it lasted.
Off to Riva to check out their pink cig now ! lol

Honest, its worth giving it a go, 3 hours ago I was congested and chest was pretty bad. Now I feel great. That's of course if you can tolerate the strong mint taste of olbas.

[wotsit]

Hello Nell
Think the thing with Olbas oil is its too oil based so it might bugger up your atty on your Riva when you get it.
If you want a real knock your socks off sinus clearer that is safe for atties then get a bottle of Decadent Vapours Mentholyptus
www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/products/electronic-cigarette-flavourings/decadent-vapours-10ml-flavour-2-2-product.html

This is the flavour consentrate so you could add a few drops to your regular e juice. Tis brilliant stuff but really strong. You can aslo get it pre mixed if you like spending on Totally Wicked prices :0)

[Scylla]

The problem with using an "unknown" liquid like Olbas Oil is that substances give off nasties when they are heated. PG is pretty safe and VG fairly safe (my terms of degree), but who knows about the oils in Olbas?

Very likely it's not at all harmful in the short term, but for die-hard mint fans, a purpose built juice must surely be the way to go

That said - am so glad you found your e-cig Not Guilty, Nell, even tho you had to suffer the flu

BTW, I used to live down the road from and shop at Baldwin's on the Walworth Road in the early 80s. Someone told me they'd closed down so I am tickled that they are still there and thriving with a lovely website
