Have you checked out our flavour review section here? It's a pretty good starting point (although taste is subjective!)

Could try getting some menthol crystals from a chemist, add them to fruit flavours! fruit and menthol = great

 

[Shorty]

Might give that a try jayg,how many crystals would you add to what ratio?

 

[jayg1169]

@Shorty start low and build it up to desired effect. don't put loads in, i did that and it nearly took my head off.
The crystals may take a couple of days to dissolve, unless you are using a citrus fruit, the citric acid dissolves them quite quickly.
Im sure Purplefowler has a lot more experience using menthol crystals than me, could be worth asking her opinion.

Cheers jayg,definately worth a try,better than wasting it.

Keep reading on different forums about vanilla custard juice,everyone bangs on about how good it is,any views on it,really thinking about giving that a go.

Capella custard is really nice and is the DIY version of the famous grants vanilla custard. It does require patience though as the flavour takes time to develop, a minimum of a week is recommended.
as for menthol crystals, if I'm making 10ml of liquid then I'll add 3-4 shards to start and build up one by one. I don't tend to use them on their own though, I'm rather partial to cherry menthol

Thanks Purpleflower,I will try Capella custard as the liquids I have tried are not what appeals to me,I think the way forward is DIY.

DIY is totally the way to go some folks get shinyitus, but for me it's all about those little bottles of flavour!
