Its the menthol, warm it up a bit and shake it should be good, i usually sit mine on top of my stereo it makes enough heat to keep that from happening to my Diy liquids. Though mine usually doesnt do that in my tanks

1 Up. It's the menthol for sure. If I (Myself) Use to much menthol it will crystallize at room temp. :c Though I haven't used menthol in ages.

Dilute menthol crystals in PG-not VG...crystals won't dissolve in VG-

Menthol Crystals?

Menthol doesnt dissolve well in VG. You need to either increase PG or lower menthol.

I tried to make a clone for the TNT ICE by Time Bomb. Used TFA products and flavourings are Peach (0.4ml), Apple (0.9ml), Strawberry Ripe (1ml) and Menthol (0.4ml).

I tried making a 15 ml batch but it turned out like this after letting it sit for a day

Menthol is crystallizing out of the solution.

You could add more PG to the ratio so that it can dissolve better or reduce your menthol.

Dude I love menthol and I put a ton into my juice but you must be vaping just straight menthol crystals for it to crystallize in your tank like that.

yeah I think it's partly due to the cold as well, im living in Melbourne and the temperature is roughly 15deg C. But yeah i lowered the menthol and warmed it up and it was good. thanks!

Yeah my menthol solution that I add to juices crystallizes when it hits 40-50 degrees F.
