Menthol what is it?

[flbutterfly1]

What is menthol juice made of? I know menthol crystals but are they a manmade chemical? Everytime I use menthol juice I get mouth sores. It's weird I used to smoke menthols and never had a poblem. I can vape peppermint juice no problem.

I believe menthol crystals are usually made from one of the peppermints.

I suspect you may want to learn the origin of the menthol that troubles you. If it is from a man made source, it may have impurities from the chemical synthesis. Obviously, it isn't the same compound as the mint you have used and has some differences or you shouldn't have trouble.

Honestly it is probably not the actual menthol in the juice that's giving you sores. There are a few possible reasons why you're getting these sores.

1: if you just switched to vaping recently and quit smoking, it's likely that the sores are just from withdrawing from traditional cigarettes.

2: if you are vaping low quality juice such as Dekang, chances are there may be some quality issues with the actual PG base. A lot of people have "disowned" so to speak, dekang juices for this reason exactly.

3: if your menthol juice is all PG and your other juices aren't, you're probably not drinking enough water. Dehydration causes mouth/lip sores.

Hope you get this all sorted out. Good luck.
