Hi all, I'm new to the community but have been reading up on the posts for sometime. Been vaping for almost 1 year now, switched from ego, fogger, kayfun to now a stillare RDA. Really love the flexibility of builds for RDAs.


For now, just wanna share a nicotine free recipe really easy to do on your own.

The throat hit of this mix is actually pretty good! I was actually surprised. Though menthol hits your throat differently from nicotine. It seems to work for me. The kick that menthol in a cigarette gives is something important to emulate when switching to vaping for me.



My easy recipe hopes to replicate that without nicotine. Very cheap also!




Raw materials
Menthol Crystals - local Milagro Trading)
VG (Vegetable Glycerin) - local Milagro Trading
PG(Propylene Glycol) - local Milagro Trading
Earl Grey Tea leaves (any tea bags/leaves is fine)




Step 1 : Prep Menthol Crystals
1) Crush them as much as you can (makes it easier to dissolve later)
2) Place crystals 1/3 full in a small 15ml bottle (the morale of the story is 1/3 full)
3) Pour PG into bottle of crystals until almost full (2/3), leave enough room to shake later.
4) Prepare a hot bowl of water
5) Place bottle in it for 10-20sec, remove and shake bottle until all crystals are dissolved. Repeat step if not all crystals are dissolved. The solution should be clear.



Step 2: Flavour extraction from Tea leaves
1) 15ml of PG into a glass
2) Place tea leaves/bag into the glass (I put 1 tablespoon of tea leaves)
3) Prepare a hot bowl of water
4) Place glass in it for 20min, longer if you like the flavour to be stronger.
5) Use a syringe to extract the resultant liquid into a small bottle. Take care not to extract the tea leaves.



Step 3: Mixing
1) Prepare a small dish
2) Pour about 3ml VG (50%)
3) Pour 3ml of your tea extract (50%)
4) Drop about 4 menthol drops per 2ml. This is only an estimation, you can start with 2 drops per 2ml and increase according to taste.
5) Place the dish in a hot bowl of water and mix with a spatula. I'll do it for about 20-30s. You should be able to smell the menthol.
6) Extract the finish e-juice into a bottle, perform standard steeping procedures if preferred.




Hope it helps. =) VG/Extract(PG) blend is not fixed, you can play around. PG brings more flavour and VG more vapour.
