Default Menthol Crystal Juice

Got my crystals in this morning

Just filled about 5ml of VG in a fresh dropper bottle added just 1 crystal

as heard the crystals are super strong so used a very small size crystal about 2mm x 1 mm in size

popped it in the microwave first for 5 secs (didn't dissolve)

then again for 10 secs which was perfect.

just tried it and its really very nice indeed !!

Has a amazing fresh and sharp taste and can feel a nice warm sensation in the throat and lungs almost like a proper throat hit but not quite there ,any more crystals in this mix and it would have been lethal but some may like the super strong menthal hit so you may add 2-3 crystals at your own risk !! !

so try it guys its actually a really nice and a great change.


Now going to add some 36mg stuff in now just so I get my nic hit

will let you all know how it goes later.

I will await your results with interest. I never did smoke menthol, but I am really enjoying freesmoke peppermint 18mg and I keep wondering what it would be like if it had some menthol crystals in with it.

Question Interesting

San, where can I get these magic crystals? I am trying to turn my roommate on to fogging but he smokes menthol and the reviews of menthol flavors here have been awful - at least the ones from those who smoked menthol analogs. That feeling in the throat is extremely important to us nicfiends and I want to be able to closely replicate that for him before I get any pushier about getting him to join us.

You can buy menthol crystals at most chemists/pharmacies.

I can recommend the PillBox/Totally Wicked menthol. I have a bottle of his 36mg which I dilute slightly with glycerine and the resulting vape is very close to Malboro Menthol high tar/nic cigarettes. A friend of mine who smokes Berkley Menthol cigarettes visted last night. He tried e-smoking for the first time with my TW menthol mix in my 901 and was amazed how menthol-cigarette-like it was! He placing an order for a starter kit next week!!

I've just placed an order for the new TW Spearmint. Depending on the flavour, I may way try adding some menthol crystals to it to vary the flavour/hit. I can't wait

You can get a lifetime supply from ebay for a couple of bucks. Puresmoker premium has the best menthol flavor of all and I have tried all the major brands. About as close to a Kool mild as it comes. I actually prefer the flavor over the analog version. It has a dash of menthol already in it.

Boy just that 1 crystal with so potent ! now I think the small pack I got from ebay will last me till at least 2025 .

Anyway its great mixed with 36mg stuff but be carefull people only add it 1 drop at a time and taste it in between even the 5ml with 1 crystal mix is really strong.

How did it goes with the 36mg ?

I am a 100% menthol smoker trying to find the key to quit analogs

I got my crystals, i got 36 unflavored nic juice, i got PG, what kind of dosage you recommand to lower the mg a bit to like 15mg ?

For a 1 dram .. how about

40% unflavored 36mg nic juice
60% PG
1 crystal
