Wizard Labs menthol solution 'grainy'?

[readeuler]

Had anyone ever found the 10% menthol solution from Wizard Labs (or any menthol solutions, really) to be 'grainy'?

I don't vape any menthol, but some of my girlfriend's mixes have menthol. Lately she's noticed they're a bit unusual, compared to any other juice we make, leaving a grainy residue in tanks and vaping a little 'off'. Very potent stuff, in addition.

Has anyone noticed this? When you're making your own menthol solution, do you need heat, or lots of agitation for the crystals to dissolve? I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get everything to dissolve properly, if it isn't. It's only about 4 months old.

I haven't used menthol crystals,but i mix my em from crystals and i have found a cup of hot water helps dissolve those,so it may help with the menthol as well.Just sit the bottle in the water for 5 minutes or so and shake the crap out of it.

Answer:
Forego that junk, and get the Menthol Crystals.
Mix 1:1 ratio with PG in beaker/flask and twirl it under hot water from sink.
That menthol will be high high grade, and seriously strong....i use 1 drop per 1 ml with that stuff.

I agree with the last poster. It sounds likes your Wizard Labs menthol didn't have a proper base to menthol crystal ratio. Result is as you described. You can try adding a little PG to it and run the closed vial under warm/hot water to further dissolve it.

Interesting, thanks all. I guess I'll have a use for this PG that never seems to get used, and just mix my own menthol.
