At the end of the day all that matters is that you find a setup you like and some juice that you enjoy vaping and keeps you off the fags. I hope you stick with it and don't go back. It's really not worth it.

Yep really is that simple.  Steep just means throw the bottle in a drawer or cupboard and leave it for a while shaking it occasionally.  I'm no expert at this at all, it's really easy or I wouldn't be doing it.
PG is propylene glycol which is one of the main ingredients.  As well as being used in e cigs it is used in cosmetics and the PHarmacutical industry.  It's used in asthma inhalers for example.  It's available at a lot of e liquid sites or is cheaper on ebay.
VG is vegetable glycerine. It's also used in the PHarmacutical industry and is also used by bakers to add moisture to cakes.  
The nicotine comes from your base liquid which is nicotine diluted in either PG or VG.  
Then all you do is mix it using a mixing calculator to get the right strength and whatever pg/vg ratio you want and add flavouring.
and it's MUCH cheaper.  Works out about £1.50 for 10ml.

There are a TON of recipes and instructions.  Just pop down to the mixology section of this forum for hundreds of delicious examples.  My reasons for doing it are firstly it's cheaper than buying pre mixed, secondly I can mix it to any strength I want and lastly with the right flavour concentrates it's possible to make anything you can imagine.  For example I really like strawberry and chocolate cheesecake so I bought flavour concentrates and made strawberry choc cheesecake e liquid.  Or you could make your own tobacco mixes, or basically any flavour you can imagine.  Since you are now a menthol fan you could make it yourself very easily and to your own individual taste.  
All the ingredients can be bought easily online and there are mixing calculators to help with measurements.  Just throw the ingredients in a bottle, shake well and leave to steep for a while. 

Flavourart hazelnut and add a bit of caramel to it.  Very nice
i mix mine 10% flavourart hazelnut and 5% flavourart caramel.  Their banana is nice too.

Clivia it all depends on the concentrate. Some tobacco flavours are mixed at a very low percentage while other flavours like red Astaire tend to be about 20%. It's all down to personal taste really and whether you like strong or weak flavours
