I need help menthol flavors?

If I knew the exact recipe the company uses then for sure I’d make it myself. Every other tobacco flavor makes me nauseous though. Even this flavor by itself makes me queasy so trial and error to guess at a clone would be a terrible process for me. It’s only 12.5 % but it’s a certain note I haven’t been able to ween off of yet. A lot of people, once they get that nicotine rush from a sweet desert flavor, never want tobacco again.

I must be stupid but I can’t figure out how to look up peoples pages I have been trying for days I just can’t figure out what button to push to see their recipes

I don’t know how to either. I just enter their name in the search of the recipe side. Then when you find the same name, click to see their forum profile to make sure it’s the same person. If there’s an easier way, I’m sure someone will tell us both, lol.

I would think there would have to be an easier way

There might be. I had the forum and the recipe side book marked for a couple weeks before I knew they were the same site so I’m not the best person to ask. :blush: My name is different on the recipe side, I added the MIZZZZ over here because people kept thinking I was a guy, lol. Most of my recipes are still private but if you want to look. http://e-liquid-recipes.com/list?filter=71677

If that doesn’t work just enter Hobbit into the search and I’ll pop up.

@Too_tall ; First, kudos to you in your efforts in trying to help someone kick the habit. Kicking a pack and a half of Kools Menthol will be a monumental leap for her.

I’m not a Menthol person, so I really can’t help in that department. There are many threads on Menthol on ELR:

The higher PG mixes will give her that throat hit most new Vapers are seeking.

Tobacco-wise, nothing will give her the true taste of actual burning ammoniated tobacco leaves. I’ve tried a slew of synthetic tobaccos and though they are reminiscent of real tobacco to a point, the “real” factor comes from combustion. The closest I’ve come has been with naturally extracted tobaccos (NET), however, this type of eliquid is very hard on stock coils; daily change out of the coil is the only solution to quality flavor.

I finally hit on a pleasurable analogue tasting ADV a while back; worked for me. You can pick up the concentrates at Bull City Flavors.

Super Concentrate (SC) ~ Seven (@4%)
Inawera ~ Dirty Neutral Base (@1%)

The INW DNB is going to give that ashy quality of analoges; a must have for cig-a-like flavor.

I also found another concentrate which adds that analogue cig flavor to a mix:

SC Real Cig; used at below 2% in the mix does add a nice tobacco flavor.

Good luck on your quest!

That is way too Kewl ! You went out of your way to help a perfect stranger awesome of you. I don’t do too much w/ Menthol but I know if she ends up liking the koolada then she may like FW’s Blue Ice it’s cooling and has a blueberry like effect but it’s way in the background. Good luck I hope she likes it !

I would definitely mix 50/50 - the Ego AiO is most comfortable with that, given you/she’ll use the pre made coils at .6 - 1.5. I mix a slightly bolder flavor in the AiO than in my sub tanks.

Let me introduce you to an ADV for everyone that has ever vaped it:

Can be vaped in ANY device

Just made this one public I’d forgotten about. It’s even better than the Icy Soho Loner.

Thank you but her aio will be here tomorrow so I don’t think a month will work time wise I think I am going to just try and make her a strawberry and kiwi or a strawberry and cream with a little koolada for a chilling effect and hopefully she will like it enough to give it a try. I mean she is dieing from emphysema and still smoking a pack and a half of kool 100’s a day so f she wants to be around much longer she will give it a shot

yes… unfortunately, if you want a decent tobacco vape at all, it will need long aging.

A straight menthol might work for her in the meantime. FW’s Extreme Ice is a good one solo.

You’re an amazing guy to be helping her this way. A lot of people really like menthol and a sweet fruit combo. Another trick I learned for working with koolada is adding FA Pear and Inawera Cactus to counter act the drying side effect. My usual is 2-3% Pear, .5-1% Cactus, .5-1.5% Koolada. The Cactus has a strong flavor at higher % but the Pear is so mild you’ll hardly taste it this low. This might give you some ideas for shake and vape or quick steeping flavors.

I went with a simple blue raz from real flavors with a touch of koolada and she loved it. I figured simple is better I didn’t want to over load her with options I just told her once she gets comfortable using it that there are a number of different things we can do but for now I think simple is going to work best for her.

That’s great news! Give her a hug and a thumbs up from me! Congrats on the success, you’ve undoubtedly added years and quality to her life.

I run Max VG in an AIO Pro and Cubis Pro which has the same tank and coils no probs. Totally recommend the 1.0 Ohm coils. The AIO being a fixed Voltage device (V²=15), the 0.6 runs at 25W and is way too harsh, and hot, and the 1.5 Clapton runs at 10W and is flavourless. The 1.0 Ohm runs at 15W, is warm, full flavoured (as much as a Cubis tank can be) and only a little harsh…

Me three… doh…

Good karma Dude. Kudos…

So I was tasked with the request of making a clone of strawberry chill. It’s a house recipe from a local vape shop. Has anyone had any luck with a strawberry menthol? For some reason I taste some sort of apple as well as a cream? Are those things that are ever added to this profile?
