vandyke Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I got my big order in from vaporpro, including menthol crystals. How do you use these? I tried sticking them in the cart, I had to push the foam stuff in a lot (just two crystals). Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) I don't think the crystals were meant to be used as is. I think you need to dissolve them in VG or PG and add to nicotine base (if you are using nic). I could be wrong, but I don't think solids vaporize very well. Edit, yes I know solids don't vape.

BirdDog Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 You should look through the DIY section on the forum. There is probably a thread in regards to the crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 yes, it should be dissolved and then combined with e-juice. I am not sure if PG will work, I always heard about using 100 proof vodka or something similar. I also have read that you can crush it to powder and add that to the juice. Personally, I have a bottle of liquid menthol concentrate (Decadent Vapours) that works perfect about 2 drops for every 1.5 ML of juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddavelarsen Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Dissolve in everclear or high-test vodka. Put some crystals in the container you want to keep your liquid menthol in, and add a drop at a time to to the crystals. It's amazing how little PGA you need to dissolve them. I've tried dissolving in both VG and PG, and neither is a satisfactory solution. Just my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDub Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Dissolving them in Everclear is my preferred method. If you really saturate the alcohol with the crystals a little will go a very long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuiceBlaster Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Recipe for Menthol drops - Standard Concentration This is about the same concentration you get when buying ready made drops from a flavoring vendor Place crystals in TWO baggies, one inside the other, removing as much air as possible. Use a straight sided drinking glass/coffee mug or rolling pin, crush crystals as finely as possible. Measure crystals, add 1 part crystals to 4 parts PGA (method 1), PG (method 3), or 50/50 blend of both (method 2). Use a glass container with tight fitting lid. Method 1 With all PGA base, agitate until all crystals are disolved. Ready to use immediately. Method 2 With 50/50 blend base, agitate until all crystals are disolved, will take longer than all PGA, may need to sit overnight, etc. until all crystals are disvolved. DO NOT HEAT. Method 3 With PG base, set glass container in a basin of hot water, allow liquid to warm up, agitate, repeat until all crystals are disolved. Safety Note: Be sure you are using FOOD GRADE pure menthol crystals, not aromatherapy grade, which may contain impurities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
