menthol help

[Manimal3497]

Allergies are kicking my butt so I am wanting to make a menthol til I get over this head funk. I don't normally do menthol so I am out of my realm on this. I got Menthol Crystals from RTS Vapes. I am thinking of running with just a basic strawberry or a grape but I have no clue how much to use on the menthol. I am not wanting an overpowering menthol. Was hoping to ask for your insight on how I should go about the menthol. Should I mix it in vg first? If so how much would I add to 10ml. What percent should I add to a 30ml?

I used to make a menthol juice for a friend, and she liked it literally with one glass dropper drop in a 3ml bottle. Go slow with that stuff - it's incredibly strong! Just add more as you need it

Oh, you have to disolve it in PG - I forget the ratio, but it's something like 1/4 tsp in 10ml? I can't remember the right number!

If anyone gets that ratio please post it

Google is all over the place on this one. Best I can find is to fill whatever bottle you're using 3/4 full with crushed menthol crystals, then add PG. It does help to warm the PG. Then shake it like hell to get the crystals to disolve.

From what I've learned this is true. I did the same thing with ethyl maltol (sweetening) crystals. I heated up a small pot of water on the stove and put the mixture of PG and the crystals inside of a glass bottle and heated up slowly. After it was warm (about 5-10 mins) and swirling occasionally (I don't suggest leaving the container closed while heating!) the crystals dissolved and I used that as a sweetener.

However, with the menthol crystals, I used to just drop a few small pieces into the (30ml) juice that I was making and closed / shook the bottle until dissolved. That seemed to do just fine but now I just use the pre-dissolved menthol liquid which is a lot easier.

TLDR version:
Use sparingly, add as last ingredient, shake the bottle, add more if needed.

Also, I know that I'm very new to the forum so I might not be trusted, but I've been making my own juice for about 3 years now. Take that for what it's worth.

I've been vaping this for a few days, and I think it's extremely well balanced:

Logan's winter ice
TPA menthol 4%
TPA Wintergreen 10%
