Thanks for starting this Dan. Lots of good ideas. I'm gonna try my hand at it tonight and hopefully have a good report for the thread. Main reason is my girlfriend is vaping now and we have yet to find her a menthol she likes. She's gathering supplies now to start on very own lab...lol
Some people use distilled water and some use vodka, me I like the vodka. I use typically 20% water/vodka to 80% VG. It is about right to me. I read somewhere on viscosity checks to tilt a mirror at 45 degrees and drip a drop of the liquid you are trying to match and time it as to how long it takes to run before slowing or stopping. Then do the same with your test batch and get it as close as you can by slowly adding in water/vodka.
Hope this helps

I've started experimenting with vaping.
Brought out the MAD SCIENTIST in me.
bought VG at Wally world and some extracts from the spice aisle.
Mixed some juice up and it was a nice vape.
So, I overdid it and made too much.
probably enough to last TOO LONG.
But, then started thinking, what about using my juice in a ultrasonic vaporizer.
Made a little "waterpipe" using a canning jar, the little fogger out of a decorative "fog bowl" and voila - - ultrasonic vaping.
Thanks for getting my mind going!
Make the menthol concentrate:
Crush your menthol crystals (Safely, I use a double ziplock bag and rolling pin) Fill up a 10ml bottle with the menthol powder (use gloves and eye protection) When it is full add everclear until it is full (again). Cap it and shake it under hot running water. Will disolve completely in a few minutes.
Dan,
How much of the menthol crystals/powder do you add to the 10ML concentrate? I've got like 1/4 ounce of it I haven't touched yet because I'm not sure of the best way to use it...
Hey Dan, That's the same, although found mine at walmart in the clearance aisle. (I'm cheap)
Here's a pic:
I hope this works.

These are the ingredients I used in the E-Hooka:
1 ounce of VG
7 ounces of distilled water
1/6th of an ounce of Anise Extract (McCormick's)
1/10th of an ounce of Cinnamon Extract (McCormick's)
It's sweet and flavorful and has a slight TH.
Probably from the alcohol in the extracts.
I've been vaping on it regularly for 2 days,
and no noticeable lowering of the level or flavor.

Hey Dan,
The E-Hooka thread is going pretty good now.
