I’ve been chasing the perfect creamy mint shake vape for months, and this one finally hits it right. It’s that nostalgic milkshake taste — cool Dutch mint, rich vanilla ice cream, a splash of fresh cream, and just enough graham cracker and hazelnut to make it feel like you’re sipping something from an old-school diner. Smooth, sweet, but not cloying, with a clean mint finish that doesn’t punch you in the face.
Perfect everyday all-day vape at 3 mg nicotine in a 30/70 mix. Super easy to make, mixes clean, and the flavor really pops after a short steep.

How to Mix It
- Use a clean 15–20 ml bottle (plastic or glass works fine).
- Add the flavors first — they’re the smallest amounts and easier to measure accurately with a good 1 ml syringe.
- Add your nicotine solution.
- Top with PG and VG. I usually warm the VG bottle in hot water for a minute so it flows easier.
- Shake the hell out of it for a good 60 seconds.
- Let it steep. This one is ready in 3–5 days, but it’s noticeably better after a full week. Shake daily if you can.
Flavor Notes (What You’ll Actually Taste)
- First hit: Bright, cool Dutch mint — fresh but not toothpaste.
- Mid-puff: Creamy vanilla bean ice cream with that soft fresh cream roundness.
- Finish: Light graham cracker and hazelnut warmth that makes it taste like a real mint chocolate chip milkshake. No weird chemical aftertaste, no mint overload. Just smooth, dessert-style vaping that doesn’t get boring after the 5th tank.
If you like creamy mint profiles (think milkshake > straight peppermint), this one’s a keeper. I’ve been rotating it in my rotation for weeks now and still reach for it every day.
Want to tweak it? Drop the hazelnut to 0.75% if you want it cleaner, or bump the graham cracker if you like more bakery notes. Let me know how your batch turns out — always happy to hear what other mixers think! Happy vaping.
