I read it. Thing is, I never liked menthol much! I've heard of those crystals being used by snuff sniffers to strengthen the hit of menthol in the nose. The tobacco absorbs the menthol somehow.

I'll have to check my pharmacy to see if they stock these.

As I write this, I'm watching homebrew liquid filter through a medium fine paper lab filter. Slooooow. It will take all night to filter one funnel of brewed liquid. And it sure doesn't come out as clear as I thought it would. Still dark brown (but smells great).

I'm not a menthol user either, but I do add a little to my e-liquid to change the taste or add more flavor to it. It gives my e-liquid a little kick. I mostly use the menthol to boost the light or regular e-liquid from e-cig.

Where did you get your lab filter? I'm still looking. What tobacco did you use this time?

Menthol easy to do....get some Menthol crystals shards(the ones they sell in Pharmacies for flu treatment)....very little is required....dilute it in hot water(only with hot water, can't melt with cold or room temp water)....mix it quickly before it turn cold(recrystalisation will occur) to PG solution or e-liquids..it depends on how strong you want it to be so experiment till you get the right strength....gotta go now, I'll be back in a while...

Rachel: Wife works as assistant to a college president, so I knew the college would have the filters. The things cost pennies in huge quantities. So they gave her a packet to bring home to me. I used liquid I've had refrigerated since the last batch of pipe tobacco was cooked. I put the liquid through three filtrations, until there were no further particulates to remove. But it's still dark brown. My thinking was I'd end up something almost clear. Oh well, I'll use some as is and will distill some to clear it up.
