Menthol crystals in lower mainland?

[sparky604]

Does anyone know a source of menthol crystals, or menthol flavouring? Bought a few Dekang juices that are "meh" (will give 'em a few days, maybe just an off taste day) but would like to menthol them up if I can.

I've been to the local Alive! and Nutrition House looking for them, and a few pharmacies; not sure where to buy it locally.

Hi there Sparky604.

NicFitNation is located in B.C. & they carry a ready-to-vape e-juice called Whistler's Peak Menthol which they describe as "a tobacco flavor infused with 100% Organic Real Menthol Crystals. A stronger, more refreshing menthol taste."

I live in Toronto & have never ordered from them, so I don't know how it is. I'm also not into tobacco flavours, partial or otherwise...so yeah. But they are relatively local to you. They have several other menthol-y e-juices too, including just Menthol, lol.

As a devoted DIY-er, my advice would be to order Menthol Crystals or Menthol Liquid from Perfumer's Apprentice, for DIY-ing.

If you ask Linda for clarification on how to use the crystals, she'll be happy to help you with that I'm sure. (For example, she also offers Ethyl Maltol crystals for use as a sweetener, and describes them as follows: "Pure ethyl maltol crystals. These can be dissolved in alcohol or Propylene Glycol @ 10%." But yeah...if you don't want to fiddle around with dissolving the crystals yourself, she also offers them in the concentrated Menthol Liquid ("water soluble - This is a blend of pure Menthol crystals and Food Grade Alcohol").

She makes amazing flavours for DIY purposes. Only thing is she's in California, lol. So it would take a bit longer to arrive than an order from NicFitNation in your province.

Oh - Jack at Happy Vaper here in Ontario also carries the following minty concentrated flavourings from Perfumer's Apprentice: Creme de Menthe, Peppermint, Menthol Drops, Mint Chocolate, Spearmint, and Wintergreen. (He doesn't have their Horehound yet, but should soon, it's pretty new.) I would assume that you'd get a package from Ontario more quickly than from California, though I'm not sure.

Barring all of those options, I would assume that a healthfood/herbalist store would at least be able to point you in the right direction for where to buy menthol crystals locally, if not sell them to you themselves.

Hope that helped!

Happyvaper stocks the PA menthol drops and their arctic menthol is quite good.

I picked up 2oz of menthol crystals from ebay. I believe the vender was gumby96. 2oz is a lot and could be a lifetime supply and costs about $8 Took about 3 weeks to arrive but the vender was on vacation when I ordered.

sweet, got any use for 510 xl cartridges (you need an xl atty which I do not have), i'll trade?

Whistler's Peak is pretty good, have a bottle of it here, and a bottle of Cool & Smooth from NicFitNation as well.. would like to do something to this 30ml of Dekang Mango to try and change it from "vaguely mango" to just "menthol" flavour so that I enjoy vaping it. Right now it's ok but kind of meh. Same with the Juicy Peach and RY4 oddly enough.

time to menthol them up!!

You could also grab some FlavourArt Mango flavouring and gussy up the Dekang a bit rather than just turning it menthol. The Mango I've got is potent and pretty authentic, sweet like a Philippine mango. TPA makes a mango too, but I haven't tried it.
