menthol

[fimckenzie]

Hi, I was given a couple of samples of spearmint with my first kit. It was ok but not close enough to Menthol for me, too sweet. So I got some Menthol 50/50 medium and I find that really strong as in almost burns my mouth and can hardly inhale. Do you think if I mixd some of it with the spearmint it would help or is there anything I can use to 'dilute' it?? Also tried cherry menthol and also found that was really strong. Using plain cherry at the minute which is quite weak so pinching a drag of hubbys tobacco one now and again.

There is no reason at all why you can't mix flavours.

If you want to dilute it a bit, you can add glycerine, but will also lose a bit of flavour.

i add in a few drops of menthol to tobacco to give it that menthol kick

[Chrissie]

As Jason says, you can dilute it with glycerine - but it will of course also dilute the nicotine strength. You can buy a small bottle of glycerine from the baking section of most supermarkets for about 50p or a larger bottle from most chemists for about £1.

is this one any good or would it be best to ask behind the counter for a pharmaceutical grade?


while im on the subject does anyone know where i can get a smallish bottle of PG from?

gotta blame my questions on Perpy ...i just cant wait to try mixing now...yummmmm caramel butter

[fimckenzie]

On the subject of PG/VG, is it correct to say that the more VG, the more vapour and the more PG the more throat hit?? What are they both anyway? I have 50/50 on all the juice I currently have though I have to say the cherry one seems the mildest of them all. BTW thanks Gordy, just tried the tobacco with a little menthol - PerficcK (for today anyway!!)

Lol, that's the VG stuff Tye . . . although it doesn't come diluted, unlike the VG you buy from Supplier's so it's pretty thick.

Cige also stocks plain PG quite reasonably priced.

You're quite correct in your thinking Fi, although you'll find some vapers have intolerances to either PG or VG . . . too much VG in a juice, any more than about 20%, makes me very congested.

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Can't get VG in Tesco here

[Perpetua]

You should be able to get it in Boots Fuzzy, with the Cough Medicines . . . surprised your Tesco's don't stock the small bottles though with the Baking ingredients . . . Dr Onken or some such the brand is.

[monster74]

It's not called VG it's just titled glycerin on the bottle. You'll find with the food colourings etc
