Newbie help needed

[Superrug]

Hi Guys,

Been lurking a while now a decided to take my first leap into DIY liquids, well on payday !

I have a really dumb question I think, one recipe i want to do has stated 10% Menthol ? I have found all the other flavours ? But 10% menthol has stumped me, i need 21ml of it for a 300ml run ?

Also if anyone has any tips on where to buy from in the UK i would be most grateful, I found darkstar and I assume their rebranded stuff is the same i.e (FA) range.

ANy help greatly appriciated

Hi @Superrug and welcome.
I'll start off by confirming 10% of 300ml will be 30ml.

Hi buddy I’m sure there’s a link somewhere but I shop at Vapable, Rainbow Vapes or Chefs Flavours predominately- Vapable being the cheapest on the whole with free delivery with a £10 spend. VG PG Nic shots from either Lubrisolve or Lucemill. That should get you started.
There’s a pin in this section that states where you can buy rebranded FA

+1 for vapable - cheap with a good range. Their 'Arto Italiano' range is rebranded FA.
You are right about dark arts being FA and they are cheap but only come in 30ml.

As for your menthol question, 10% does seem like a lot to me, its more usually around 1% but I guess it may depend on which brand the recipe states, some are stronger than others.

+1 for Vapable, just had an order from them after cancelling my order from make my vape after being pointed to them from some of the folk on the forum. Got everything I need to get started and 4 concentrates for under 20 quid and next day delivery! Albeit will need to order more pg/vg and nic as I only have enough to make 130ml but great to get me started on diy!

I would assume 10% menthol means a solution of menthol crystals in pg at 10%. See here

If you use Vapable I would recommend the Inawera Menthol or Inawera Menthol and Eucalyptus concentrates.

Do not use at 10% though. I would start at 0.5% of either one to start ( so 1.5ml in a 300ml mix ) or 0.25% of each. These are strong concentrates and you can always add a little more if you need it but definitely start small.

Most of my juices for DL vapourers ( DL'ists ? ) have between 1.5 and 2% menthol only - it seems to meet peoples needs without overpowering other flavours. If just making a mint/menthol ML juice then I like to balance the menthol and eucalyptus with the other mints so less if definitely more.

If you want to blow your head of make 10ml of your juice with 10% menthol and say goodbye to your loved ones before trying.
