Do all chemists sell these menthol crystals?
How much should I expect to pay?
Sounds like a great way to liven up bland juices.
Cheers.

I haven't run the gauntlet of buying from the High Street Phil . . . Ebay as Balllsy says has been my source:

I thought I would check Boots online and I get a sign come up that I need a prescription??? (menthol crystals)

I shall go out and try my local chemist, in a while. I'm sure some have bought it at Boots? Tried checking Superdrug online and search.....didn't come up.

I couldn't find them on Asda's online store, I asked the chemist and he got them for me straight away.

I've made up 10ml- about half crystals half PG. Phooo! potent stuff. I'll start at 1%.
Does this need to steep or can I start making myself blind straight away?

Thanks Perpetua and Seniorphil. Got them easy at local chemist. £2/5g (Care+) brand

[clivealive1]

yep £1.98 for mine lol

[seniorphil]

Easy...easy fellow novices.
Put a few drops(hammer fisted drops) in a 10ml bottle of cherry and completely wrecked it. In for a penny, in for a pound, tipped the 10ml into 50ml of the same cherry, luuuuuverlly.
I think the "slowly, slowly, catchy monkey" might apply to this devils brew.

I was going to do a mixing tutorial that involved switching syringes and droppers for bath tubs and 4"x2"'s. No point trying to be delicate when its not in your nature. Got a 220v shock the other day because I couldn't reach the multimeter-confirmed it was live.

well checked my menthol and its not a solid blob at least
