To the inexperienced palate, it might seem as if mint & menthol are a rather dull flavour family of vaping e-juices. After all, it's easy to believe that all minty flavours are the same and, therefore, there is no room for creativity. However, this assumption is not accurate at all.
To the inexperienced palate, it might seem as if mint & menthol are a rather dull flavour family of vaping e-juices. After all, it's easy to believe that all minty flavours are the same and, therefore, there is no room for creativity.
However, this assumption is not accurate at all.
Menthol enthusiasts know very well that although all nicotine salt e-liquids within the minty group provide that ice-cold sensation of freshness, the depth of the flavour and the different layers and notes to be found within are remarkably different on each blend.
As such, finding the perfect menthol nicotine salt can be challenging. However, do not give up hope—the one mix that provides the perfect balance of freshness, sweetness, and flavour quality can be found in Australia. The following five nicsalt options are the ideal place to start.
1. Sweet Mint by Milkman Salts.
Nicotine strengths available: 40mg.
Propylene Glycol / Vegetable Glycerine Ratio: 40% PG / 60% VG.
Size: 30ml.
The Milkman Salts is a brand renowned for its sweet, dessert-like blends. As such, their ever-popular Sweet Mint mix is tailor-made by their expert flavourists for the mint lovers that seek something more candy-like instead of a sharp, overpowering experience.
Sweet Mint's main flavour profile is that of spearmint. Focusing on highlighting the natural sweetness of the plant, Sweet Mint seeks to blend the cool and refreshing notes you expect of spearmint with the pleasant dessert ones you've come to expect from The Milkman. The result is an experience that feels organic and not too overwhelming.
A delight for the tastebuds.
2. Blue Menthol by Dinner Lady Salts.
Nicotine strengths available: 30mg and 50mg.
Propylene Glycol / Vegetable Glycerine Ratio: 50% PG / 50% VG.
Size: 30ml.
As a testament to their commitment to the importance of menthol, Dinner Lady Salts has an entire range dedicated to exploring the different possibilities of mint within the vaping world.
Amongst the four flavour profiles, the undoubted favourite is Blue Menthol—a carefully crafted blend of quintessential menthol with fresh blueberries. The result is nothing short of delightful—a blast of ice that refreshes the palate and throat in the middle of summer, followed by the sweet, fruity, and slightly tangy notes of berries. During the exhale, the menthol returns in full blast.
The result? A chilling experience that takes your senses on a journey to a frozen forest.
3. Classic Menthol by I Love Salts.
Nicotine strengths available: 25mg and 50mg.
Propylene Glycol / Vegetable Glycerine Ratio: 50% PG / 50% VG.
Size: 30ml.
Classic Menthol is exactly what the name indicates: a nicotine salt e-liquid that focuses on bringing the most delightful menthol notes. The ones you already know and love.
For this particular blend, the mixologists at Mad Hatter Juice focused on highlighting the sharp and cold sensation of menthol upon your senses—akin to the feeling of an ice cube upon your skin. The decision not to include any other base notes is a deliberate one to make sure menthol remains the protagonist of the experience from the first inhalation up until the last exhale.
4. Mighty Mint by VGOD SaltNic.
Nicotine strengths available: 25mg and 50mg.
Propylene Glycol / Vegetable Glycerine Ratio: 55% PG / 45% VG.
Size: 30ml.
Mighty Mint is one of the undisputed fan-favourites in the VGOD SaltNic line of products, and with good reason—it is one of the most intense mint blends available within Australia.
The complex flavour profile begins with a wintry blast of mint that can freeze your tastebuds upon the first inhalation, only to melt into a somewhat sweet note, akin to that of mint candy.
Although the PG/VG ratio is quite balanced, the slight increase in PG gives Mighty Mint an extra push in flavour that puts it ahead of other similar products.
5. Menthol Ice by Mr Salt-E eLiquid.
Nicotine strengths available: 25mg and 45mg.
Propylene Glycol / Vegetable Glycerine Ratio: 40% PG / 60% VG.
Size: 30ml.
Menthol Ice by Mr Salt-E is a nicotine salt e-juice crafted from the get-go for the vapers that want a genuine menthol experience. One that is not eclipsed by any other note within the blend.
Beyond delivering authentic tastes, its main focus is to freeze you from the inside out—at least metaphorically. Menthol Ice is cold. Really cold. However, the high VG ratio guarantees a flavour that is as gentle as it is potent and subsequently remains smooth on the throat regardless of the intensity of the menthol.
