I've tried the crystals and they're great and all but I don't see how you can store a couple of ounces of the stuff without it recrystallizing all the time. Which flavoring (i.e. Lorann etc...) has the strongest menthol taste?

What do you use to mix the crystals with? I have several bottles (1 is two months old) and they are still fine. I mix mine with Everclear first before adding other stuff.
I tried Sky Vodka (40% Alc) and also tried just distilled water. I guess I could try everclear. The other thing is that it wasn't that strong(and I only smoked Marboro Ultra Light Menthol!). I tried adding 1 med size crystal to 3ml and it was weak, added another 2 small ones and still weak. By the way, what is your recipe?

I crush up the crystals in a ziplock bag and add 2.5ml (Measured in a syringe packed down) to 7.5ml of Vodka or Everclear, microwave for 5 sec and shake. If you dont want to microwave then boil a cup of water and drop the 10ml bottle (sealed) it in there for a 30-60 seconds. The idea is to raise the temp to disolve the crystals. Shake and add 1 drop per ml, so in a 10ml bottle you would add 10 drops, less if you want a subtle flavor, more if you want the chome removed from you bumber
I have not had the crystals reform.
Hope this helps

I have tried just with Sky Vodka and it did reform but it is only 40% alcohol. Hopefully the everclear is better.Have you tried dissolving without heating? With distilled water, I would have to heat it, but it would later recrystallizes. The Everclear doesn't take long to dissolve the crystals. Just need to shake it a bit.![]()

Yes it will disolve without heating, the heating just speeds up the process. AND I WANT IT NOW!LOL
But I would go with Everclear or Bacardi 151, if you cant get Everclear, go with Bacardi 151 as it has an alcohol content of 75.5%.

hmm.. so I added another 3 drops and it's better.. think like 3 drops per 1ml mix is ALMOST where Marlboro Ultra Light Menthols are. I would hate to see what NewPort or Kool users would have to use lol... as far as a throat hit I would still say mild to non as compared to M.U.L.M.![]()
1 drop per ml is a good starting point, it is all by taste and what the peson likes. Everything is subjective LOL, I am glad you are making head way. Check your PM
Oh and yes keep adding to suit your flavor, but different times of the day and what you have eaten can affect the way it feels.

yeah i've all about gave up on menthol. It gave me a headache shortly after when I tried it with Everclearhave no idea where to go at this point... thinking the menthol flavored oils is my only hope at this point & i've heard they aren't that strong.
