I think he means for alcohol, if smoking a stinkie fast before being brethalized it's decreases your alcohol reading, if I remember correctly.... dunno the effect of vaping on it

That is not possible. The meter must be faulty.

Please keep us informed here
Wow, this is interesting!
"Reactions[edit]
Menthol reacts in many ways like a normal secondary alcohol. It is oxidised to menthone by oxidising agents such as chromic acid or dichromate,[12] though under some conditions the oxidation can go further and break open the ring. Menthol is easily dehydrated to give mainly 3-menthene, by the action of 2% sulfuric acid.Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) gives menthyl chloride."

P.S.: The only part of that I understand is the first sentence.

"Menthol, an alcohol contained in the oil of various members of the mint family. It produces a cooling sensation in the mouth and on the skin, and is used as a cooling agent in chest rubs and shaving lotions. It is also used to flavor toothpaste, mouth wash, cigarettes, and cold remedies. Most menthol for commercial use is obtained from the Japanese mint or is made synthetically."

Well, if I follow correctly - us menthol vapers can now drink and blame it on the juice!
Sucking a Fishermen's Friend could get you into California DUI trouble
Police in Germany are warning motorists that sucking a Fishermen's Friend could get them into DUI trouble. It comes after a 24-year-old driver was found to be over the legal DUI /drink-drive limit during a routine DUI control in Munich. He was taken to the police station where DUI blood tests found he had no alcohol in his system.
The man was released after DUI officers found the strongest thing he had taken was a Fisherman's Friend. Forensic doctor Thomas Gilg said the essential oils contained in the throat sweets reacted in the same way as alcohol on hand-held DUI breathalysers. He said in tests they found just three of the mentholated sweets could cause a motorist to test three (3) times over the legal DUI limit.
Fisherman's Friend are strong menthol lozenges produced in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. Fisherman's Friend were originally developed by a young pharmacist called James Lofthouse in 1865 to relieve various respiratory problems suffered by fishermen working in the extreme conditions of the Icelandic deep-sea fishing grounds. Originally developed as an extremely strong liquid remedy containing menthol and eucalyptus oil, Lofthouse made this liquid into small lozenges which were easier to transport and to administer. According to the manufacturer, the fishermen soon began to refer to the lozenges as their "friends", hence the name. The lozenges exist in their current form relatively unchanged since their creation. The lozenges still come in their famous paper packets, although these are now foil-lined.
