Looking for the strongest/best Menthol and also strongest/best Cinnamon flavorings

[HyOnLyph]

I love menthol and also love cinnamon. Not necessarily together although cinn and mint work great.
I'm looking for the strongest or best of each to add to other flavors or mix alone.

I'd be happy to find a menthol with the strength of a Halls Lemon Menthol Eucalyptus drops. something to really clean out the sinus

I use zero nic to allow the ladies in our home for women to taste various flavors and I've been really happy with experimenting with VG and cinnamon and mint but it turns out the flavorings that I bought were not water soluable. Still tasted good but very cloudy.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any recommendations for flavoring or DIY hints.
Thanks
Hy

What about menthol crystals for menthol? I'm still new to DIY, but I've used those in the past and too much can overwhelm you. Perfumer's Apprentice has a "cinnamon redhots" for that Atomic Fireball flavor, but I haven't tried that yet.

Yeah, I'd say menthol is menthol. Get the crystals. Crush them. Mix with just enough PGA so that they disolve. Use sparingly.

A drop of menthol will give any mint that "Altoids" boost.

Some folks use PG instead of PGA with some heat.

Capellas and TPA cinn's have always been very soluble for me.

crystals.... I didn't even know they existed. Sounds great. I'll check it out. I think that was the key I was looking for.
Do they disolve in VG? I usually dilute VG with a few drops of purified water for the right consistency. Should I drop the crystals into the water for the desired effect and make a brew to add to VG?

dumb question but can menthol crystals be bought any where other than online? I would love to get some but really dont want to have to order online unless I have to

 

[HyOnLyph]

If it's a dumb question then I'm guilty too. I was just gonna ask that myself.

I'm a Menthol person myself, and I saw a place that had both the crystals and the liquid, but I can't find it now...
Here is somewhere to start: Menthol Drops

I have also seen a couple of places where you can order the Menthol in different strengths, and I'll post those when I find them...

You can sometimes find menthol crystals at health food stores, co-ops, etc... I got mine from a local co-op that also sells lotion making supplies.
Perfumer's Apprentice (and several other places) sell both crystals and liquid - you can find the crystals under 'molecules in tobacco blends' -> 'Menthol/Mints'

 

[angied]

Thanks digital, I will check out the health food stores around here first

 

[KILLERkpd]

agree with digital, I have ordered menthol crystals online but I did see some in a mom and pop health food store local to me. AS far as strength of Menthols, I have not seen that anyhwere I have looked. The crystals I got are pretty pungent by them selves-of course one would probably guess they would be in their crystal form....

I only vape menthol....for now.

Here are the places I know of where you can choose the strengths of the Menthol:

Mister E's Menthol - Mister-E-Liquid.com

You might also check with Viking Vapor E-liquid Supply... They can mix up pretty much anything you ask for. I just got some Creme de Menthe w/Menthol that is just Wonderful!! Loads of vapor, and great prices, too...

one stop diy shop has the crystals and the juice

 

[HyOnLyph]

Thanks everyone for all of your advice. I'll check em out.

Vermont vapor's menthol is pretty strong. Also juicy liquid sells crystals and menthol drops.

Most pharmacies in the UK carry 5g tubs of menthol crystals, which will mix to 40ml of high potency concentrate

Have you tried the cough drop juice yet?

For cinnamon, I really like the Perfumer's Apprentice Cinnamon RedHots flavor.
The menthol I just make from the crystals.

 

[qhkris]

I am a huge cinnamon fan as well. I like Perfumer’s Apprentice “Cinnamon”. It is strong, I use it at 10% max, and it tastes just like the old Wrigley’s “Big Red” gum. Very nice.

Nah, I don't like my Menthol quite THAT strong... LOL!!
