Got my menthol crystals the other day, and am ready to mix up a batch of drops. But I have a question. Would their be any benefit to using less Everclear in the recipe, and mixing in some PG in it's place. Any disadvantage to using PG in the mix?
I have no problem dissolving crushed and packed tight cryatals(1/4tsp) in 5ml of PG. 3 sec in the microwave and its done.
They won't recrystalize and your juice stays the same viscosity. If you need to make your juice thinner Everclear will do that. Some add a lot of VG for more fog. I use a 70/30 PG/VG mis , add menthol and have no problems.
That recipie works for me at 1 drop per ml. Your tastes may differ a little.

Will the menthol crystals work just mixing with vg? Or is the alcohol and important step to this recipe? Is there any difference to the recipe if i use vg instead of the alcohol to make my mix?
Pure VG is not good. Even if you get the crystals to dissolve, they will reform in VG. Either use PG or Everclear, or a combination.
thanks for the answer I guess I got an excuse to go to the liquor store now lol
I always get a funny look, or a comment from someone, whenever I buy everclear. I feel like I have to explain that it's to clean the parts on my PV.
Which is ok because I like to show it off.
Anyway just be ready for the funny look.
Once upon a time well not that long ago but back when I was in school I used to buy everclear all the time to make this drink that would sneak up and knock ya right on your well you get the point.
Lucky for me my liquor store is also the tobacco store here and they haven't seen me in awhile maybe I will convert a few of the girls over to ecigs.

I am going to place an order with Perfumer's Apprentice this weekend, but I was looking at additional fragrances. Is there a guide, or a general idea I should follow when looking to purchase from them so I don't end up with something I shouldn't use?
Maybe I didn't search for the right thing on the forum's but any information would be GREAT!
You are ALL wonderful, and threaten my job daily as I am a forum troll

Hahaha well that would be a marvelous feat but I am unable to call it my own. I just stick to medical school and raising kids with my husband.
Thanks for that recipie for DYI menthol drops. I've been wondering what to do with those crystals.

Just did a little research on Menthol crystals. They have a melting point of 43.5 degrees celsius (110.3 F). I did an experiment using a shot glass with 7.5ml of Grain Alcohol in a shot glass and nuking it to see how long it took to raise the temperature above 111 degrees F.
Turns out your method of nuking for 5 seconds is spot on.
First attempt
Start temp Alcohol: 73 degrees F
Nuke 5 seconds
Finish temp Alcohol: 114 degrees F
I don't know if you did any experiments like this before you came up with your process, but if you didn't, you instincts couldn't have been better.

I cheat. I always make my menthol drops in advance so it's much easier for me. I just take a 10 ml bottle and put 3.4ml of everclear in it. Then I add the crystals till the bottle is full and put the bottle away. That gives me a 34%/66% mix. In a short time the crystals dissolve on their own and are ready to use next time I need them. No microwave or anything.
Okay, I admit it. I'm lazy. Always looking for the easiest way to get the job done with a minimum of fuss.

I agree, but I crush the crystals into a powder inside a ziplock bag, and then fill up the 10ml bottle full of the powder tamping as I go so it is packed in there good. THEN I take my 30ml bottle of everclear and drip into the 10ml bottle until the powder is saturated and it wont hold any more everclear.
If I am in a hurry, I will run it under hot water while shaking, usually takes only a couple minutes to completely disolve.
Thats it.

Thanks for the recipe. Used 10 drops of menthol drops, 4 ml of 8 mg nicotine, 4 ml of 0 nicotine (PG) and getting decent vapor with an excellent taste!
i just got my menthol crystals in today and when i looked at them they appeared to be moist. is this normal? i was thinking they would be dry kinda like salt. also arent there 2 types of mentol crystals?
