I want to make some strong fruity menthol but all I seem to be getting is the menthol hit and not much else I guess I’m using too much but I used 1 drop in a 10 ml and its killing it. I just want to know how to get my other flavours to smash through while I get that menthol hit on the inhale

tfa extreme ice and tfa menthol

Do you mean FW’s Extreme Ice ? TFA doesn’t make an 'Extreme Ice, as far as I can tell. It’s not on their website anyhow.

If you mean FW Extreme Ice, it IS an extremely strong concentrate and never used it more than 2%. Usually just 1% is good. I have a few recipes using it and a couple which are fruity with that menthol kick. Minty Summertime and/or http://tjek.nu/r/34zy

But, if you just put 1 drop of menthol in a 10ml bottle of fruity eliquid that you enjoy, I’m thinking you may just be very, very sensitive to this flavoring. so, if you plan on making my recipes, you may want to adapt them to your taste and tone down the menthol to like 0.5% or 1% to start.

Make sure you let your new mix sit overnight. You might want to let it ‘breathe’ as well, for a couple of hours.

Good luck! I hope you find what you are looking for.

make your own menthol. Super easy and way more variable.
https://www.amazon.com/Menthol-Crystals-Packed-Silver-Estates/dp/B00W01S2Q6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1472604801&sr=8-1&keywords=silver+cloud+menthol+crystals.
Way more Menthol than you’ll use in years.

Easy to mix, just be sure you never, ever…and I mean ever heat steep or heat up menthol. It will crystallize and you’ll never be able to get back into solution. That being said, here’s an easy menthol base that you can mix at different percentages and it will work every time.

DIY Menthol: 2/3 crushed menthol crystals to 1/3 PG in 10ml bottle. DO shake this gently until the crystals dissolve, or just leave it overnight, and shake it slightly the next day.
Do Not heat steep this!! It will crystallize the menthol. DO shake the stuffing outta the final mix , let it settle and you’re good to go.

Remember, it’s just straight up menthol, too much…toothpaste…to little, meh.
My recipe for a good menthol vape:

Arctic Menthol Plus : http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/152513/Arctic%20Menthol%20Plus

2.5% Arctic Winter (Menthol Artic) (FA)
4% DIY menthol

Flavor total: 6.5%
Remember to rate it at: http://tjek.nu/r/1b0d

OK, one last very important thing. I crush the menthol crystals in an envelope made out of parchment paper by folding over the edges into a packet. I then crush them very finely with a rolling pin. BUT, the most important thing to remember is working with raw menthol is like working with nicotine ( or peppers). Not quit as dangerous, but really requires precautions. Do not rub your hands on your face, Do not put raw menthol in any form in any open ( and I mean any) orifice on your body. You’ll regret this for, well a really long time. Just sayin’…
