I ordered ethyl vanillin, ethyl maltol, malic acid, sucralose and menthol crystals but they came with no instructions on how mix them into a liquid form. Could someone please give me some advise on how to do this and what ratio I should start adding them at? I am sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but there is so much on here sometimes it's hard to find. Thank you very much.

I can maybe help with the menthol. I fill a bottle (10ml or 15ml) half full of menthol crystals. Fill the rest of the bottle with PG, alcohol, VG or whatever liquid you like. I used PG. It takes a while, but you can warm in with a hot water bath. Shake well and often until the crystals are dissolved.
.....I use 1 or 2 drops of this menthol concentrate per ml when I mix an ejuice. I am a heavy menthol vaper, so use with caution. It will last a very long time. I bought 2 small packages of crystals 6 months ago, and I haven't mixed the second bag yet.
GOOD LUCK!!!

So glad I found this since I had the same question but was trying to search the site and that's not working LOL.

But my question regarding menthol now is: Why does the mix solidify? I half filled my bottle with crushed menthol crystals, then used mostly VG and only 10% PG. It came out great...but then the next day it was hard. Does yours stay liquid? If so, what did I do wrong that mine goes solid and I have to keep putting it in a hot water bath? Thanks!

I would try adding more PG to your mixture. Maybe warm it to get it fluid, then add PG. Actually, I think I would put this aside and start over with crystals and pure PG. I KNOW this works! When you add the resultant mixture to a recipe, you will only be using 5% or less (unless you are a menthol addict like me). It won't decrease your VG/PG much. If I can be of any more help, just PM me so we don't hijack this thread :)
