OK, I have been working on my DIY and I am looking to make an "Ice" menthol. I can make myself a nice standard menthol but what should I be adding to give it that Ice taste and feeling?

“Ice” is exactly what I wanted and here’s what I did:
I got some menthol crystals from a local pharmacy. They had them in their compounding department. You'll probably have to go to an older family owned pharmacy - I don't think the chains do any compounding. But at least I know they are medical grade and not something someone made in the basement and is selling online. I wanted the real deal. I had to get my doctor to write me a prescription for menthol crystals - strange - but the pharmacy wouldn't sell them to me without one. My doctor didn't have a problem - he was thrilled that I'd put down the analogs.
Anyway - I had some Halo Menthol Ice and I took that and put about 10 droppers full into an empty 10mil dropper bottle and started adding crystals - one at a time. They melted on their own in about 30-40 minutes. I added one - tried it - no change. So, two more - better. I got up to six crystal sticks and WOW. Now we’re taking ice cold chill your throat kinda menthol.
My PV of choice is a Ruyan E-Pipe and those things cut down on the flavor a little. So if you’re using an e-cig, you might not have to add as much as I did. I think six crystals might be a little too much - I’ll probably cut this batch with another dropper of Halo. However, I might see if I can find some PG to add for some extra TH kick.
I think the DIY thing is gonna work for me.
