Pure TFA Menthol Crystals... does anyone have a good ratio in liquidification...?

[Danoman]

Hey guys...
I picked up some pure menthol crystals from TFA... does anyone recommend a ratio for the mixing to get it all liquefied...? I've got a digital scale if it's in ratios in grams, ounces or whatever I need to measure it out to be in. I have a bag of 4oz to work with right now so large amounts wouldn't be a problem at or below 4oz. worth.

Thanks y'all...

This is the way I made it. From WL: Recommended usage is a 10% solution consisting of 1 gram menthol crystals to 10ml Propylene Glycol or Ethyl Alcohol.
Use the 10% solution as you would any other concentrated flavoring.
Menthol Crystals - 15 grams (WL)

Edit Warming the PG a little in a hot water bath helps the crystals dissolve quicker. Mine were also quite big so I put a few in a plastic bag and crushed them with a rolling pin first

I crush them and fill a bottle about 3/4 full of the crushed crystals.

Then I slowly add PGA (190 proof Everclear) and shake after each addition until the crystals just dissolve and stay dissolved.

That must be some pretty strong stuff Hoosier. I'm not a Menthol guy, I was making it for someone else. I thought the way I did it was too strong lol

Only takes a drop of two in a bottle to add some zing.
