so I make 30ml 60vg/pg with 10% creme de menthe tfa, 5% peppermint tfa, 2% chiller , I think need more additional sweetness
can you give me advice what should I using for improve the taste?
sweetener or something like vanilla , marshmallow without spoils the peppermint taste
You could try a little Marshmallow (TPA) at around 1%-2%. It should add some sweetness without a marshmallow flavor. I find that above 3% the marshmallow taste itself starts to come forward.
Sucra drops 1drop/10ml
Marshmallow is a go to for lots of folks. If you have it 0.5% marshmallow FA.
Vanillas are always nice but it change your mix to vanilla de mint mix which may be good but that appears to be something your trying to avoid.
As for sweetners…welp I do not use them. But a lot of folks have been talking about pyrue liquid. I personally havnt used it because but I’m sure someone my chime in and recommend 1 drop per mls.
The other part is using a candied mint. Try searching recipies for candy cane and candy mint. I’m sure you will find acouple recpies that will inspire you on what you should do next.

I’m no expert, but if you want it sweeter you are going to have to add some kind of vapable sweetener. I like Crispdx’s advice of some kind of candy cane (Peppermint and a sweetener?), but the question is what kind of sweetener is really in that flavoring?
Pyure uses vinegar and citric acid as a preservative, so not sure how that would affect a minty vape …great for fruity flavors as people recommend. I went looking for liquid Pyure and no local store had anything but powdered. In the health food isle I found a second selection of Stevia products (Pyure and others were next to the sugar), so there was an entire different selection of Stevia sweeteners next to the protein powder and vitamins.
I have been using Now Foods Glycerite which is organic Stevia in Vegetable glycerin (Stevia in VG!) Ethyl Maltol is like a sweet finish, but this stuff is sweet from start to finish. 1 drop per 10 ml is lightly sweet. I’ve put 5 drops in a 30ml and it’s nice (0.5%?)
It has been vaping very clean (wicks and coils) and the sweetness is pleasant. 8oz was $7 USD I’m pretty sure folks here are making their own, with just VG and dissolving the powdered Stevia, but for $7 I have enough for years of juice making. Be sure to share your final recipe, sounds right up may alley.
