Hello I was wondering what people think is best when making a menthol juice. Do you prefer to buy the crystals raw or buy a menthol concentrate? Ive been looking at youtube videos and they tend to be by Americans, so if you recommend buying the crystals could you recommend a UK shop/brand that I could buy from? I tried Lloyds pharmacy but their website seemed to only sell via prescription. Im also a wee bit concerned about making my own as Ive had two bottles premade of Ice menthol ejuice (ie not concentrate) that "crystalised". After I reheated them in the boiler room, they would go back to liquid but once cooled down were thick gunk again, so Im not sure of how best to store crystal once Ive dissolved them.

Once you have mixed it, pop it into the microwave for a few seconds to break down the crystals in the solution. Add only a drop at a time or you may ruin your juice as well.
Menthol is good in the odd fruit juices that need a little boost or to make a juice you dont like, one that is vapable....(just) sometimes.

I also like to add 4%(ish ) Peppermint and 2%(ish) Spearmint to a homemade Menthol concentrate just to help add some depth and make the overall effect smoother happyloman.
