I mixed their menthol in VG, and it started to gel up. I added a bit of distilled water, and that just made the problem worse. I'm not sure what's going on.
I was trying to mix up a batch of 0mg menthol. I put some of the menthol flavouring from Flavor Apprentice in my wee glass beaker, added the appropriate amount of VG, and it looked as if it was turning into a gel. ..or that the menthol crystals were trying to separate from the liquid. Hm. It got far too thick at this stage, so I ventured to add a bit of distilled water, and it immediately began to gel up. I'm not sure what is going on, but this is quite disappointing.
I should add that my hand is cold. .... ....neat.
....
More wrestling. I must have used too much menthol flavouring. .... .... Hmm.
....
Right, I figured out a good proportion for the menthol flavouring, and a trick with the crystals that separated when I mixed in the VG.
Here's my recipe for a pleasant minty vape, 0mg, 120 ml.
(If you want one with nicotine, simply replace the instances of "VG" in the recipe with pre-mixed flavourless nicotine liquid.)
30 drops of menthol flavouring.
10 ml of distilled water.
110 ml VG.
Shake to mix.
Hold bottle under hot tap water until mixture turns clear.
(Yes, I like my ejuices thick. Keep in mind that you should use the same concentration of menthol flavouring, even if you wish for a different consistency in your juice. Simply use more distilled water and less VG.)
I came across this recipe by trial and error. I had mixed 30 drops to 30 ml VG, and I got a weird textured thick liquid. The crystals were separating, again. Dang. Added 10 ml distilled water. Still no better. It was better than my first attempt, at least.. where the whole thing turned to sludge. Anyway, the menthol scent was almost making my eyes water, so I added an extra 40 ml of VG. Still annoying strong. Added another 40 ml. That smelled alright.
I rinsed my beaker, and shook the solution in a bottle, hoping that I could get it to mix, nicely. No amount of shaking or cursing would fix this. I got the idea to put a wee bit back in the beaker, and hold the bottom of said beaker in a stream of hot tap water. After a minute, the solution turned clear. Ah hah!
I let the mixture cool in the beaker, and noticed only one crystal reformed. My home is very cold, so I figure this will not occur in a warmer environment. I suppose I can put the bottle in my pocket.
