Menthol Crystals – What They’re For and How to Use Them
Around two thirds of menthol crystals are plant-derived, while one third is made synthetically. You’ll find 
menthol crystals in drugstores, pharmacies and vape shops. Menthol crystals need to be dissolved in medical-grade alcohol. In theory, you could use vodka too, but the crystals may form again and your e-liquid can end up with streaks. Use 10 grams of crystals to 10 ml of alcohol. Always mix one-to-one! If you’re not allowed to use alcohol, you can also dissolve menthol crystals in PG.
Careful: don’t let them touch your skin. Menthol crystals can sting and may cause allergic reactions. Put the mixture into a screw-top jar, place it in a warm water bath and shake it well every so often.
Some vapers say they’ve had trouble buying them from a pharmacy. Aside from vape shops, where no awkward questions are asked, menthol crystals are also used for other products. For example, they’re used to make DIY shaving foam and ointments. Buying medical-grade alcohol shouldn’t be a problem either; after all, it’s also used to disinfect infected wounds.
You can also buy 10g of the purest organic menthol crystals from us—no silly questions asked—to dissolve in 10ml of pure medical-grade alcohol or, alternatively, in 10ml of PG. Organic means it’s not synthetic menthol.
Next week, we’ll look at how to make your own sweetener—that’s not really difficult either.
