Menthol crystals; external use only???

[vapi]

I just received menthol crystals I ordered from e-bay. They are tiny and mostly crushed, they don't look like the bigger pieces I have seen on instructional videos. The bag say's external use only but they are all natural menthol crystals. These are so crushed and tiny I will have to spoon them in somehow. I haven't seen them in this form and they are very shiny too, like crystal fragments.

Is there a variant of menthol crystals, or are they all vapable? Could I have something that shouldn't be inhaled? I would have bought them from a vendor but they weren't as expensive on e-bay. I got 2 ounces for 4.65$.

I just changed the price because I just left feedback on ebay and it was a lot less than I originally mentioned. I got it confused with shipping cost too.

Thanks, I won't vape them until I get an answer.

Cannot comment on the quality of what you have bought from ebay without maybe seeing a pic, but I bought the crystals from a supplier and they are somewhat fragile. I put mine in another plastic bag (double bagged) and used a rolling pin to crush them to a powder and then use by the packed 1/4 tsp to make menthol drops (wish I could remember who posted that tip, but kudos to them...this was not my creative thought, but that of another ECF member). It is easier to duplicate in powdered form anyway as the crystals are different in size and shape anyway.

Just to let you know.....in crystal form they do have a sheen to them like a rock type crystal does, and then crushed into a powder....well let's just say I would not wanna be frisked with them in my pocket.....very suspicious lookin

as for the

external use only

...well some people are just really not very smart and lord only knows what they would try with them.......it is, IMO for the sellers benefit kinda a CYA so that no one can come back on them suing them for some damage...such as burnt nostrils and what not.

Oops, that doesn't work. How do I post images here?

Someone somewhere on this forum recommended Menthol Mania (Super Concentrate) StrictlyEJuice.com. I beleive they are liquid menthol drops. I would think it's easier to use instead of a soild menthol. Just a thought.

They look and sound like the real deal, crush em even finer and mix with some PGA and put 1 drop in a small amount of liquid they should work fine. alien visions also sells some dam strong pre made menthol drops, I'm using them now and there dam good

Thanks. Do I have to warm up the bottle after I put them in (crushed) so they melt?

after mixing, i put the bottle in warm (not hot) water to help them dissolve.

Thats what I use and it works like a charm and is super easy. I just finished my first bottle, and I bought it back in the summer.

I definitely would not have questioned the menthol drops, the crystals do look scary. But mine dissolved with warm water and I like how intense it is.

Mine is so strong, it's along the line of a Hall's cough drop, do the liquid drops have the same intensity?
