The menthol blends
Pick your menthol
Most menthol vape juice is an ice-flavor formula with no tobacco underneath. Black Note builds menthol the way we build everything: naturally extracted real tobacco first, then crisp mint on top. Our mint comes from Mentha arvensis, chosen because it contains no pulegone, a compound the FDA flagged that appears in many mint and menthol e-liquids. Start with Special Blend Menthol, the coil-friendly blend most menthol smokers pick: fresh, balanced, and crisp over a real tobacco base. Menthol Tobacco is the original award-winning version with sun-cured Oriental tobacco, and V by Black Note REGGAE covers 60/40 pod setups.

Mint over tobacco
The menthol difference
Most menthol vape juice is an ice-flavor formula with no tobacco underneath it. Black Note starts with naturally extracted real tobacco, then finishes with crisp mint on top. The mint is Mentha arvensis, chosen because it contains no pulegone, a compound the FDA banned as a synthetic food additive that still shows up in many mint and menthol e-liquids.

Know your menthol
Menthol or tobacco menthol?
Straight menthol e-liquid is usually mint first with nothing underneath: an ice-style base and no tobacco in the formula. Tobacco menthol layers that same cooling over a real tobacco foundation, so you get crisp mint on top and tobacco character underneath.
At Black Note, every menthol is a tobacco menthol. We start with naturally extracted real tobacco, the same base as our tobacco line, then add pulegone-free mint on top. Crisp and coil-friendly: start with Special Blend Menthol. A stronger, fuller-bodied menthol character: Menthol Tobacco is the original.
The base
Real tobacco first, menthol second
Every Black Note menthol starts as the same liquid as our tobacco blends: naturally extracted from real tobacco leaves through a 9-step process that takes up to three years. The mint goes on last.

What is pulegone, and is it in Black Note menthol?
Pulegone is a compound the FDA banned as a synthetic food additive. It still shows up in many mint and menthol e-liquids. Black Note menthol uses Mentha arvensis, a mint chosen because it contains no pulegone.
