This is a trial that I am playing with. I’ve only made one batch, but I will update as I proceed.

First Batch
After I dissolved Harmalas extract and dmt into a small amount of acetone, I mixed in my cannabis, which is my preferred medium. Then I put on a low heat source (no flames) to help with evap. I then added 4 drops of peppermint essential oil. Mixed well throughout evaporation, and tried the following day.
What I learned:
To much essential oil. Definitely achieved what I was shooting for, and then some. A menthol changa, except that the first hit off a fresh bowl was very very minty, as I suspect that the oil was the first thing to vape/combust. Next will try with 1 drop. I also have wintergreen that I’m going to try. Also will try in smaller batches, as I have 2.5 grams of super minty changa I’ll need to push through.

Batch 2
This time I mixed essential oil in the acetone first. To 50 ml acetone, I added in 2 drops vanilla and 2 drops blood orange. The goal was an orange creamsicle kinda flavor. I used about half of the solvent to dissolve the goods and evaporated over my herb.
Result:
Mild flavor. Could taste a hint of orange, no vanilla. I will continue to use 50 ml to make the mixture, and adjust oil amounts. I will try maybe another drop of each next time.

Batch 3
My favorite so far. I urge everyone to try this if they have/search out the herbs. No oils this time. Made a 1:1:1. Each part was 1.5 grams for a total of 4.5 g of changa. It tastes best vaped through a genie, the flavor is lost in a bong. The mix is as follows:
.35 sacred pink lotus
.35 Egyptian blue lily
.3 klip dagga
.3 tasty sativa cannabis
.2 mint leaf (I actually would sub this with moar klip unless you like a mild minty flavor)

This blend has an awesomely fruity flavor. A little citrusy lemony kind of taste. So yummy.
 
Love it bro. I've been smoking menthol six years now, I will never go back to regular tobacco. Love the idea of a menthol changa. I made some on menthol rolling tobacco a while back.
 
4 drops is quite a lot of peppermint oil, as you've found out.

Adding one drop of oil to some alcohol or acetone would provide a flavouring essence, making it easier to create a milder product.
 
Pau D'Arco Is a bark that is recommended in some recipes on this site for changa, I did try it in my earliest attempts. It is a strange smoke, as far as texture and smoke-ability goes. I wouldn’t recommend MHRB for that same reason, although I’m sure it can be done.

I used some 40% Anis liquor instead of Ethanol when making Changa.. it got pretty interesting..
Hmmm... a high-proof absinthe (ABV 65%+) might prove even more interesting, as well as being a better solvent overall with quicker evaporation.
 
yeah why not...:)

I used it only because I couldnt get any other solvent.. and when I went looking for some high proof alcohol in the store I thought, why not try the Anis..

But it get pretty sticky and weird so I stick to Ethanol.. In the end I dont smoke it for the flavour.. not at all haha:grin:
