I have started with some pure VG (got it from a lab, 5 lt, says 99.x% pure and food grade).
Put some in a pot, inside another pot with some water around it, and in the main pot I added a whole bunch of fresh mint leaves, so many that I had to push them down with a spoon. Let it reach around 60C-65C for many hours (very low fire and during half the time the fire was off). I stirred many times taking care not to break the leaves. The leaves shrunk and some crumbled.
I filtered the VG as best as I could passing it 4-5 times through a large strainer and then through my tea strainers (not very well, there are still impurities in the mix). The original quantity of VG was around a pint (568ml). The liquid has become a slight tint of green.
I have poured some of this liquid into the tank and used it at around 40W. This is the usual setting on my mod for pure VG. In the beginning there was no smell of mint. To the contrary there was a hint of "boiled grass" taste if anything. Not good. I kept the liquid inside a dark cupboard for the time being.
Two days later, today, it gives off a very subtle hint of mint, but very subtle, almost imperceptible.
I read somewhere about the "setting" time (measured in days if not weeks). Can't think of the right word right now.
I will keep it in the dark cupboard for weeks to see what is going to happen.
Has anyone done this at all ?
