Spearmint recipe?

[Dan]

Hey everyone.

Can someone point me in the direction of a good spearmint recipe please?

Been using spearmint first thing in the morning for a while now but im running low, and since I have all of the nicotine base etc, it makes sense to make my own.. had great fun mixing my first custard recipes last night and so I've now caught the bug!!!

Thankyou!!!

Hi Dan - you could try looking here Mints and Menthols - if nothing appeals, you could adjust the recipe accordingly to find a mix you like.
If you come up with something tasty, let me have a copy and I'll stick it on the thread for others to try too!

DV nana mint is a really great spearmint type flavour imo, not as sweet as some, which I like

Hi Andy,

I am tempted by the softmint recipe but want to start with a basic spearmint recipe first..

I'll have a gander around and see what I can find..

Does anyone know where I can get these flavours for future reference?

Lorann creme de menthe
Tpa peppermint
Cupcake world intense cream

Finally a half decent menthol

Many thanks!

Is that a concentrate or a ready made?

Got a link?

Concentrate here www.28vapeslater.com/nana-mint-12420-p.asp

Premixed here www.decadent-vapours.com/en/minty-menthol/78-nana-mint.html (they also do the concentrate)

It's a strong flavouring, start at 5% and then adjust to your taste I add a splash of peppermint which makes an awesome double mint flavour

How long should  steep minty flavours? Do they take as long as custard for example?

Time to experiment!!

Nowhere near as long as Dessert type flavours to steep Dan  . . . a couple of days to a week depending on how keen you are to try it.

It's vapable after a day, but it does smooth out nicely after a week

Finally a half decent menthol

Dc84 i made myself a good menthol last week, i got a 5ml pot of menthol crystals from the chemist it was only £1-79 & crushed just above half of the crystals then put 15 ml of pg & 10ml of vg in a glass bottle & the crushed menthol crystals, put bottle without the lid in microwave on full power for a count of 8 seconds, put lid on & shook the bottle to mix it, then just add your nic base as you would to any other 30 ml bottle of your own juice.
If you like a stronger menthol just add a bit more crushed menthol crystals to the bottle & microwave for 4 or 5 seconds then shake again.

Or you can make it by crushing half the crystals & 5ml pg in a glass bottle & microwave for 3 or 4 seconds then put lid on & shake, this can be added to any juice but as Raid told me you only need 3 or 4 drops in any juice in your clearo for menthol meltdown.

I don't usually like menthol but since i made this i have mixed some with home made cherry & have been using it as an all day vape.
