Menthol Drops Recipe for Menthol Lovers

Only one type that I'm aware of. The crystals should be shinny and should not stick together. If their moist they will stick together once dry. It shouldn't affect the taste of them though.

I found menthol crystals at MountainRoseHerbs.com for $10.00/4 oz. They sell it by the pound also. 4 oz should last me for several years.

Thanks for the recipe. I always smoked Kools and to be honest I didn't like the menthol we first got. ( i have only been dong this for about a week now). But then I ordered the Nuport from Nhaler and I loved it. 555 menthol was to light for me and I feel like I am vaping all day long and not getting anything.

I am looking forward to trying the crystals. Making the crystals up are they pretty similar to the drops that are out there?

If you make them to the correct ratio of alcohol/crystals, you'll have EXACTLY the same thing as the drops, at a fraction of the price.

BTW, most of the so called menthol juice is just mint. I've tried many of them and most are little more than vaping a dinner mint. Mint and menthol are two entirelly different things. With menthol drops you can make it as strong or weak as you'd like.

I can't remember who it was, but some one here tried vaping pure menthol drops by it's self. From what I heard, it took her a while to recover.

I wouldn't recommend trying it.

I got the 4oz at the same place. It will be a lonnnnnnng time before you run out.
High quality needle crystals too. The purest form.

They dissolve easily in alcohol, PG or VG. Not well at all in water. Almost insoluble.
There are some good methods in here, very simple.
Its just a matter of finding the mix that suits your taste.
I always liked grumpsters idea of 1 drop per ml. Make it easy or 2 drops per ml of e liquid you are making. Just record how much you use to make it what you added up or took away by diluting and keep track so you can reliably repeat it.

Yes, most of the menthols are just poorly refined mint extracts. Mint is 75% menthol, but if you want the pure menthol taste, crystals are the way to go and much cheaper.

I heard reports of unusual tornado sitings after that pure menthol vape that occured just from breathing...

I just got my crystals in and made a batch . ( I couldn't wait -- I was like a kid in a candy store.) And I have to say WOW !!! Very menthol and I love it. I mixed it with the 555 and got a nutty taste and no vapor. And idea on why I lost the vapor on it? My next experiment is going to be mixing it with the Hilton. I am making these in small batches (3ml), so it wont be long !

I haven't a clue, I've mixed the menthol drops with 555, ry4, various tobacco flavors and others and have never seen the menthol drops have any effect on vapor. The menthol does have quite an effect on throat hit though, but not on vapor.
