Menthol sweetener

[johnboy]

Hi I have sweet tooth what amount of sweetener do I add to 10ml of menthol juice to get a sweet flavour ?
Thanks .

Really depends on what sweetener you use. Start with a couple of drops and see what it tastes like. Add more if it isn't sweet enough for you.

I've got quite a sweet tooth myself and I usually add 1% to most juices to sweeten them up.

0.5-1.00% of a Sucralose based sweetener normally works for me johnboy.

Thanks Mandy but how many drops to 10 ml of juice Pleeease.

Going off Perpetua 's suggested 0.5%-1% sucralose sweetener:

If 10ml=100%, then 1ml=10% and 0.1ml=1%, 0.05ml=0.5%

So you probably need to add between 0.05ml and 0.1ml of sweetener to 10ml.... remembering that it is easier to add more, than take away, if you overdo it.

The number of drops depends on your dropper bottle, liquid viscosity and temperature.... but lets say approximately 30 drops = 1ml, therefore:

That works out as 1.5 - 3 drops / 10ml of eliquid johnboy (you obviously can't easily achieve 1.5 drops, so you'll be looking at 1-3 drops.... according to Mandy's taste!)

I think we should update the old saying "How long is a piece of string" to "How big is a drop"

A medical/pharmaceutical dropper is 1ml = 20 drops, however in reality with e-liquid bottles, yes, it varies widely!!

That's what I always work on 30 drops to a ml with teeny tiny measurements like this.

A Spearmint concentrate ( if you have any ) is another way of sweetening Menthol and will also add some depth to the flavour johnboy.

You are so kind.

I'd start with around 6-8% johnboy as Capella's Spearmint is quite weak - you can always add more. My suggestion would be to vape it sooner rather than later as it is a flavour from them that tends to peak off quite quickly I've found.

10ml = 100%, 0.1ml=1%; therefore 6-8% = 0.6ml-0.8ml (approx. 18-24 drops) for 10ml johnboy

I like this thread gives good clues as to how many drops/ml to add
