Oh and FYI, Coffee mint/ Koolada also works well as a palette cleanser.

guys I have a dumb question. I have a premix called ice blast. its basically a koolada\mint combination but I threw in some of Capella's dragon fruit for extra flavor my glass on the avocado 24 then cracked. Do you think its because of the liquid or maybe the dragon fruit . I have no idea but because of this I have refrained from mixing menthol mixes
I only use metal RDA's so I am not sure, but I seriously doubt its the Dragonfruit. Its usually the citrus flavours that crack tanks.
Hey @heino...IMHO I think its the liquid and not the dragon fruit. I have used dragon fruit b4 and its a mild flavour
Here is one to try
20% Flavour West Candy Cane
1.5 drops of Menthol per 10 ml
I find after 2 weeks of steeping this is 100% XXX mint (the little mints everyone always eat in church ... Ye those)

And annoy everyone with the "crunch crunch" if you chose to bit them like me
Nope, there are certain flavours that are known to crack polycarbonate tanks, but not glass.
I tweaked this one a couple of times, now I am satisfied.
Kiwi Melon Frost:
TFA Watermelon 12%
TFA Kiwi 6%
Menthol 4%
TFA Koolada 2%
CAP Supersweet 0.4%
Ethol Maltol 1%
I let mine steep for a week and you are ready to go.

How does the Menthol / Koolada compare to that of the VM XXX juice?
What sort of percentages would you say I should use of Menthol and Koolada to get something similar to XXX?
Berry Breeze
A mix of berries and minty goodness
Candy Cane (FW) 1%
Menthol (TPA) 2%
Raspberry (INW) 1.2%
Strawberry Ripe (TPA) 3%
Strawberry (TFA) 3%
Seems like a very high raspberry percentage, it is, it needs to be potent to cut through the menthol. If you reduce the menthol reduce the raspberry proportionately. I started out just wanting a nice raspberry menthol. INW Raspberry, although very good, didn't quite cut it. So I tried adding some strawberry. I quite enjoy this and make it on the regular. This is revision 9 since I started.

I have tried sooooo many recipes to try make something like TMax's Doc Clark's Snake Oil.
I didnt really come close enough, but I did get a refreshing summer juice that fits the profile... after many, many versions:
Doc's Snake Oil
"a light and refreshing citrus, aniseed menthol juice"
INW Cactus 1% (the juiciness)
INW Lime 0.75% (the citrus)
FA Orange 0.75% (the citrus)
FA Bergamot 0.5% (the citrus)
FA Brandy 1% (for smooth complexity)
FW Extreme Ice 0.6% (Menthol)
Koolada 1% (the coolness)
INW Anise 1% (the liquorice tease)
TFA Sweetener 0.3% (optional - I liked the addition)

I've recently heard about extreme ice but never tried it, does it work as a solo flavour and I've heard that it is quite strong but I suppose it depends on the % used.
I currently have Extreme Ice standalone steeping at 4%, based on a recipe in this thread.
I dont think its that strong, more a mild menthol.

Ah okay, thanks. I'm looking for something that will basically freeze snot, a really strong menthol/koolada.
Which recipe in this thread - sorry, I could not find it?
Thats a good question... um maybe another thread.
I'm pretty sure I saw someone say they vape Extreme Ice at 5%. So I went a little lower (about 2 weeks ago).
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Pfft lol... not sure. I just know I always use it under 1%, but lately been craving a strong Menthol.
... so I saw "something" and mixed it up at 4%.
I filled up a Reo bottle full of a tobacco and a tank of Docs Snake Oil. But I will try the 4% Extreme Ice after to see how strong it is.

Okay, 4% Extreme Ice is pretty strong.
I see I added 0.5% Koolada still.
Im vaping at 0.4ohm 30watts and I wouldnt dare add more Menthol.
But I like it. Its a clean Menthol, at first too strong for me, but your pallete adjusts... and its a clean, cool and refreshing pallete cleanser, as I wanted.

Next time I am going to add a mixture I came up with from a combo of HIC and Wayne's notes on FA Bilberry:
FA Bilberry 0.8%
FA Dark Cherry 0.5% (its great with Bilberry)
INW Raspberry 0.5%
Ive had this before with a light Menthol and loved it. Its gentle Dark Berry'ish with a just a hint of Dark Cherry.
If it works, I will submit the recipe for indexing.

Sounds brilliant.
Is the Extreme ice a "clean" flavour i.e. it won't mask a fruit flavour but rather compliment it?
I have discovered something amazing. Do not quite know which way I will go if Valley Vapour does not start stocking Loco concentrates...

From past juices, yes, it doesnt kill other flavours mixed with it.
