homemade menthol - cant get strength right

homemade menthol - cant get strength right.

made homemade mix from 5g of crystals added to 20ml PG

had 3 goes now at making up a mix did at 3.5% - no taste ,  did at 10% no taste, and did at 20% very slight taste.

so i realise now it should have been 5g to 10ml, but everyone says it powerful so surely 20% should taste.
so doing the maths i have halfed the levels originally I should have added, but at 20% (should be same as 5g to ml mix @ 10%)
i know i have weakish taste buds but this is silly.

What to do ?
I have about 7 ml of the already mixed up concentrate left. (5g to 20ml mix)
I also have 2 tubs of 5g crystals unused.
oh and 1.6 L of PG lol

Weigh the crystals, crush them, put them straight into the liquid you're mixing.

I find 0.8g for 50ml works for me

thanks
just trying to do a concentrate to then make into straight menthol juice.
have to get my maths brain going to compare above to what i tried.

This is how I do mine Clive.

1. Scoop up some crystals and add them to an empty 10ml bottle, up to about half way.

2. Top up the bottle with PG and shake

3. To help dissolve the crystals, put in the microwave for just a sec or two to warm the liquid

4. Shake, shake, and that’s it, you have menthol concentrate. Ready to use, no need to steep this concentrate



The crystals are very strong and small…. Be careful, and wipe down any surfaces after preparation.



Label the bottle (but I think you would know what it was just by smelling it)

10ml of pg into the 5g pot they come in works for me, then follow mike weaver93 's advice ^^^ and mix at 20%
If you cant taste it- step 1, add more to your mix
If you still cant taste it- repeat step 1
etc
