Arctic Rush E Juice — Icy Menthol Peppermint Vape Juice
Arctic Rush is a strong, icy menthol with a peppermint finish. Fans describe a clean cooling hit, one calls it very good and cold, and another says our description is about as accurate as it gets: an icy rush on the first few inhales, then peppermint at the end. Customers have been reviewing it here since 2016. The throat hit is where customers split: most of the low-star reviews say it made them cough, so the fixes are below and a 10ml is the smart first bottle.
Central Vapors has handcrafted its own e-liquid in the USA since 2013 with USP-grade PG and VG and pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, and this one is mixed without diacetyl, acetyl propionyl, or acetoin. A 10ml or our sample pack is the easy way to find out how the throat hit sits with you, and the guide below covers nicotine, PG/VG ratio, and flavor strength, the three settings that change it most.

What Arctic Rush E Juice Tastes Like
Customers most often describe the cooling as the dominant note, the icy rush that hits first on the inhale. Peppermint is the secondary note: one reviewer tastes it at the end of the draw, on the exhale, and another, who rated it three stars, tastes wintergreen. Fans call it icy, cold, and a clean cool mint, and one is glad it is not a fruity flavor. It is menthol and peppermint with nothing fruity or sweet layered in, although one reviewer who rated it low tasted mostly tobacco.
Strength reads differently by person. One fan calls it a good choice if you like strong menthol, and one who rated it three stars found it too heavy and wished they had ordered our plain Menthol, while a few wanted more menthol and ice than they got. For an ice mint, try Extreme Freeze; for spearmint, Spearmint.
If the Throat Hit Is Too Harsh
Most of the low-star reviews say the same thing: it made them cough, and a few say the harshness lingered after the hit. Several who rated it four stars liked the flavor and still coughed. Start by staying on Normal flavor strength, not Extra, since more flavoring makes the menthol hit harder, and step the nicotine down a level, since nicotine and menthol both add to the throat hit. Pick 50/50, our standard: PG carries more throat hit than VG, one reviewer had their roughest experience on 70/30, and 100PG hits hardest of all. Give a new bottle a few days capped in a dark drawer, and break a new coil in gently with a proper prime and the wattage at the low end of its range; one reviewer found it harshest right after a coil change and fine a few days later. You can also cut it with Flavorless at the same nicotine level: one reviewer who coughed on every hit says mixing it with flavorless juice helped.
If it is still too much, a different menthol is the better buy. One reviewer who mixes their own e-liquid and has no trouble with Extreme Freeze still coughed on this one, and one who found it too heavy wished they had ordered our plain Menthol. Start with a 10ml or our sample pack, and contact us if it does not work out; every order is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

Which Options Should You Pick
- Nicotine Level. Pick the level you already vape, then consider one step lower here: menthol adds throat hit of its own, and most of the low-star reviews are about coughing. Not sure where to start? Read how to choose a nicotine strength.
- PG / VG Ratio. 50/50 is our standard and the smoothest ratio offered for this flavor. 70/30 and 100PG carry more flavor and more throat hit in a mouth-to-lung tank, so pick them only if you already like a hard hit. Max VG and 30/70 are not offered for Arctic Rush because of the menthol and peppermint concentrates in it. New to the difference? Read PG vs VG.
- Flavor Strength. Normal is the better first bottle, since most of the low-star reviews describe a hit that is too harsh, and Extra makes it stronger. Extra Flavor is free if you have tried Normal and want more cooling.
- Bottle Size. Start at 10ml or try it in our sample pack; the throat hit splits customers, so it is worth trying small first. If it becomes your go-to, step up to 30ml, 50ml, or bulk.

Arctic Rush E Juice FAQ
| Q | Why does it make some people cough?It is the most common complaint by far. Most of the low-star reviews say it made them cough or felt harsh on the throat, and a few of the fans who rated it four stars mention the cough too. Arctic Rush is a strong menthol, and menthol, nicotine, and PG all add to the throat hit. The fixes are above: Normal flavor strength, a lower nicotine level, 50/50, a few days capped in a drawer, and a gently broken-in coil. One reviewer who found it too heavy wished they had ordered our plain Menthol instead. |
| Q | Is it strong enough? Should I order Extra?Start on Normal. One fan calls it a good choice if you like strong menthol, and one who rated it three stars found it too heavy. A few wanted more menthol and ice than they got. If that is you and the throat hit is not a problem, Extra Flavor is free; if you want a colder ice mint instead, try Extreme Freeze. |
| Q | Why can't I order Max VG or 30/70?Those two ratios are not offered for Arctic Rush because of the menthol and peppermint concentrates in it, so it comes in 50/50, 70/30, and 100PG. 50/50 is our standard and the smoothest of the three. |
| Q | Can I mix it with another flavor?Yes, and several fans buy it for exactly that: they add a few drops to another flavor to cool it down or freshen it up, and one likes it mixed with vanilla. Try it with French Vanilla, and order both bottles at the same nicotine level so the blend keeps the strength you vape. |
| Q | Why does mine taste burnt?A burnt taste usually means the coil is scorching or gunked. Menthol and peppermint are easy on coils, so check the coil first: start with a fresh one and prime it, a few drops on the cotton, fill the tank, then wait 5 to 10 minutes before the first puff, and keep the wattage inside your coil's range. If it still tastes wrong, contact us; every order is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. |
| Q | Is there a salt nic version for a pod?Not in this flavor. Our salt line runs Cinnamon Roll, Papa Blue, Razzleberry Pop, American Tobacco, Mango, and Extreme Freeze. The bottle on this page is freebase and belongs in a regular tank rather than a pod system. |
For adults 21+. Contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.
