For UK folk, I was able to get menthol crystals here - https://www.baldwins.co.uk/

They also have vegetable glycerine (a bit expensive), passion flower herbs and tea, bottles and lots of other interesting goodies.

Thanks Kate. Ypu have been very helpful. I may make up my own menthol juice with vg once I am used to the e-cig way of smoking. Still waiting for my starter pack to sent to Spain. Maybe the end of the week I will start.

Thank you to all who have contributed so much info here! I'm relatively a newbie to vaping and have just ordered 2oz Menthol Crystals from eBay, $7.49 delivered. From what y'all have said, that should last me a good long time!LOL Now to figure out the base formula for a Low nic juice to add the crystals to. There are so many recipes on here!LOL I'm not crazy about the "film" left in my mouth, so I may look into the glycerin based juice? Any suggestions? I've got a DSE901, don't know if that matters or not. I think the best part is, I haven't had an analog in over 2 days now(I had 2 one day, then 1 the next, put it out after 2 drags, I didn't like the way it tasted!LOL)...and I sure don't miss the secondhand smoke either!LOL
Again, THANK YOU to all on here, y'all are awesome!

Today I filled up about a 1/8 of a 30 ml bottle with menthol crystals and just enough distilled water to dissolve. Once cooled of course it became a solid with just a small layer of water below it. It re-dissolves in a matter of seconds and the concentrate really helpful with adjusting menthol hit in recipe.

using an alcohol base would keep it from reforming from what I've been told.
