Hiya daredevil, you can get Menthol Crystals B.P. from pharmacists, Boots, Superdrug, Lloyds etc. Just dissolve some of those in PG (They are not very soluble in VG) and there you have your menthol concentrate. Make sure you get B.P. quality as lesser grades can have all kinds of nasties in them.

Hi canniscam i have purchased some crystals i have my pg and gloves to hand as i am a tattooist lol.
i will make my test batch and probably leave it over night i'll use my mortar and pestle so they dissolve properly.
I'll post my results when i have tried it out i am enjoying the DIY mixing its so much fun but when i use nicotine i give it the respect it deserves as should all vapours.
Thanks for your time and great advise i love the tw commuinity it's so helpful and friendly Grin

It you can't get them to dissolve properly, you can always put the container into some very hot water and swish it around.    There is a video on u-tube about this.

Bottom line question... literally!

Is it more cost effective to buy menthol flavour pre-mixed, or is it more cost effective to make your own??

lol Lordy at a guess id say make your own menthol crystals are only £1.60 from my chemist and the ammount needed is very little so in the long run make your own and you can tweak it to your prefered taste imo try it you might suprise yourself Grin

Lordy, what menthol do you use now?   I use the Titan, but am thinking about doing the cystals thing.   If you decide to do it, let me know how it works out for you!   Smiley
