I dissolved 1 gram of menthol crystals (iirc 1/4 teaspoon) in 10 ml of PG. A few tips to make it easier, crush the crystals first, I put them in a small Zip Loc bag and crushed them with a rolling pin. Then I put them in the PG and put that bottle in hot water (around 120F). Let it warm up and shake, shake, shake .

Edit That makes a concentrated Menthol flavor that you add to your ejuice mixes to taste. Start low, you can always add more as needed

I got my menthol in the mail and crushed it in the ziploc baggy and scooped some directly into my mix and held it under a hot running tap for a little and shook it up a bunch then let it sit for awhile....

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Thank you both for letting me know it was so easy and im amazed how much I love it
