Hi I have a bit of infection and was told to put some menthol crystals in a bowl of boiling hot water and inhale to help remove mucus on chest I was hoping some one could recommend a strong menthol e juice I could vape and hope this would do the same thing ????? Thanks.

I have some breathing problems, so last thing at night I keep an ecig with tank full of Spearmint and Menthol (I call it MINTH) on the bedside table for sooking on while reading. It just clears the tubes before going to sleep.
I have done this for 4 years now. It really works!

Thanks. if you have the menthol crystals to hand you could Pop the top /drip tip off any bottle of cheap not to your taste e-liquid then add a single smallish menthol crystal replace top/cap and warm bottle in a cup of hot water till the menthol crystal dissolves Result is 1 x bottle of supper strong menthol e-liquid that will blow your head off .

Err on the side of caution with Menthol. Better too little than too much.
You can always add if it seems too weak.

You don't want e-liquid....
Buy something from a pharmacy or supermarket.
You will be 'steaming' yourself (towel over head, inhaling mentholated water).... it's a messy and nasty experience, but worth it!

Why not? - vaping menthol in VG/water would be doing the same thing, a lot less messily too. One of my fave flavours is DV's Mentholyptus - it does a fantastic job of keeping my pipes clean.

My basic problem when I have a chest infection is that all my usual flavours give me a sore throat. Also my ejuices tend to be tasteless.
The only one that works for me is my Menthol/Spearmint mix. 50/50 flavour mix and 70/30 PG/VG mix @24mg. (not sub-ohm).
Because of the infection, I am not vaping as often, probably about 2ml a day, but this mixture just keeps me ticking along.
