menthol drops?

[finotti]

Dear all,

I'd like to add some menthol to some AS and some people recommended adding menthol crystals. It was mentioned that these could be found in places that sell (electronic) cigarettes. I've been to one locally and the guys said that they had only drops (and a little squirt plastic bottle). He mentioned it was just diluted menthol crystals, but the bottle had no ingredient list or anything, so I was a bit reluctant.

Does anyone have any experience with these? Do they work like the crystals (which you'd likely have to dilute in alcohol anyway)?

Thanks,

I guess drops would be fine though I've only bought menthol in crystal form. It should work the same. And you don't need to pre-dilute the crystals in alcohol, I just drop the crystals straight through the bottle opening and if its one of those splash bottles with a tiny opening, then you can easily crush the crystals by placing them between sheets of paper and rolling a pen on top, then pour the powder in.

Thanks for the reply, Oblique Human. I guess no one has used it yet... I guess I will try to get some crystals then.

Best to all,

I've never seen menthol drops before. The only time the crystals might not work is if you put them in a non-alcohol as. I don't believe the crystals will dissolve in water.

google TSD M-bomb (menthol bomb)

I was familiar with it. The difference is that M-Bomb is made for shavers, while the drops to which I refer were made for cigarettes, so I am not sure it is "safe".

If its safe enough for inhalation, it should be safe for your skin. In fact, I think the menthol effect in the drops will be milder than the crystals. I'd say go for it, safe enough way to experiment.
