make your own its easy and as strong as you like get some menthol crystals from boots or similar fill up a 10ml bottle half full with the menthol, then pg then give it 5 seconds in the microwave and shake it, repeat till its all dissolved and there you go

My mrs only toots cherry menthol and I make it as above.
Im not a big fan of the menthol (never liked the fags either) but Ive not long discovered koolada and now I totally get it, fruit salad koolada is now 1 of me faves.

Johnboy asked how to make menthol concentrate from crystals, here is my method (there may be others, but this works for me)… It is a very quick and easy project.

Most pharmacies will sell little 5gr tubs of menthol crystals like the one in the pic below, relatively cheap, about £1.50 or less, and will last a long time.



OK……
1. Scoop up some crystals and add them to an empty 10ml bottle, up to about half way.
2. Top up the bottle with PG and shake
3. To help dissolve the crystals, put in the microwave for just a sec or two to warm the liquid
4. Shake, shake, and that’s it, you have menthol concentrate. Ready to use, no need to steep this concentrate

The crystals are very strong and small…. Be careful, and wipe down any surfaces after preparation.

Lable the bottle (but I think you would know what it was just by smelling it)



Use vary sparingly until you understand how strong this concentrate is…. If not strong enough, you can always add some more crystals.

If you can't find the crystals locally then Ebay are a good source:

I also add a little Spearmint and Peppermint to a Menthol mix, just to give a little sweetness and more depth to the Menthol flavour.

Perpetua where do you get the Spearmint from please?

[thatguy]

chefs vapour rebranded range double menthol is a fantastic concentrate if you don't want to go down the crystal route. It's very crisp and extremely strong. Mix it at around 4% for a menthol blast. I tried 6% first time and couldn't vape it as it was so overpowering. 2% is good for a weaker menthol or as an additive to another juice.

I'm still using some of the Spearmint that I stock piled from Health Cabin Pacer . . . . information which will probably not be of much use to you, as their concentrates have to come via DHL now.

Trying to think of who else I've seen recommended in the UK, I wasn't impressed with Capella's ( ever so weak and the flavour peaked off very quickly ) . . . . F'arts was just ok for me.

ETA: Just thought of TPA's Mint Candy - that's quite a pleasant Spearmint type flavour Pacer:

[Pacer]

Yes I did read your comment the other day Perpetua on the Capella one, I have been looking for a few days now as it's my only vape and i'm about to start mixing my own with VG only.

Been looking at this www.chefsvapour.co.uk/flavourart-concentrates/3008-spearmint.html?search_query=spearmint&results=6 But the description doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

Also been looking at these www.ukflavours.com/search?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=spearmint&submit_search= But it says may contain gluten which is a no no for me being a coeliac.

So really struggling at moment. Sorry for hijacking your thread mark1316

I think they've got their descriptions a bit muddled there Pacer!

For my tastes, I preferred TPA's Mint Candy to F'arts Spearmint . . . . finding a good Spearmint concentrate I found tricky, which is why I've stuck with Health Cabin's after some trial & error.

[Perpetua]

Pacer . . . . I've just checked on HC's site, it is giving the option for shipping concentrates via Chinese Registered Airmail - despite saying no Liquids or Batteries. Might be worth checking with them?

Sorry Pacer, I'd trundled off to bed last night . . . . we don't have a discount code for HC, so you haven't lost out.

They tend to offer a code when a set spend amount is reached.

Hope you like it.

Perpetua Received this just now, so guess I will just have to pay DHL charges... That was very misleading as the Chinese Registered Airmail was grayed out as the best option

I had a horrible feeling that might happen Pacer and completely agree it is misleading as they still give Registered Airmail as an option.

Never understood why HC have included flavourings on their ' must send by DHL ' list . . . . however on the bright side if it sorts your Spearmint quest out, then the additional expense could be well worth it - 115ml should last you a good time.
