Boots menthol crystals

[johnboy]

Can you please tell me how to make these into liquid and what to use,
I want a strong menthol.
Thanks

[johnboy]

Well ????

It depends on what you want to use it for johnboy. For concentrate empty into a 10ml bottle add PG to fill then heat 10seconds in microwave to dissolve. Alternatively you can add directly into your chosen juice and shake to dissolve. Add slowly as its strong

Blessings Babs, But how much crystals do I put into the 10 ml bottle?
Thankyou.

[babs]

The whole 5gm tub johnboy. Should about half fill the bottle

[phtumshk]

I mashed the big crystals to make smaller bits, half filled a 30ml bottle then filled it with PG.
It then needs to be warmed up gently till the crystals dissolve.
I did mine in the Micro wave in V short bursts with a quick swirl now and then till the crystals had dissovled.

If that isnt strong enough you can add more crystals to the bottle, but you will get to a point where they wont dissolve any more.
Good luck.

Thanks Babs & Freedom.
Now I can make and enjoy my menthol.

Johnboy asked how to make menthol concentrate from crystals, here is my method (there may be others, but this works for me)… It is a very quick and easy project.

Most pharmacies will sell little 5gr tubs of menthol crystals like the one in the pic below, relatively cheap, about £1.50 or less, and will last a long time.



OK……
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.

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



Use vary sparingly until you understand how strong this concentrate is…. If not strong enough, you can always add some more crystals.

From this sticky . . . . .

I have actually met johnboy at a Vape meet in Manchester..... 3 years ago (or maybe 4).... We have had a number of chats over that time.

Anyway, I just wanted to say, that he is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He also makes me look young.... but that is just an added bonus.

How are you doing my friend?

[johnboy]

Me also . . . at one of the Tamworth VF's, as well as your good self on a number of occasions now Kev.

Like Friends Re-united we three are . . . Menthol Crystals have bought us back together again. 

[Clivia]

to be very honest - those crystals are far too much faff for me - buy a nice menthol concentrate and just mix it on a bit higher percentage
