I wonder what is wrong
After calculating the quantities and then mixing gather menthol blocks and stays liquid glycerin separately

Like zeus pointed out, the hot bath will help dissolve the crystals. Placing a bottle with the crystals and the VG in warm water for about 10 min should dissolve them. Crushing the crystals up first will speed up the process.

 Is there a difference between  Vegetable Glycerin and Glycerin  with DIY & Vaping ?

Vegetable Glycerin that is USP grade should be used for vaping. Read the ingredients on the Glycerin to see if it is actually vegetable glycerin. Some glycerin is animal based and not vegetable based.
In the U.S.A. we use USP which stands for "United States Pharmacopeia" and deems it safe. I don't know what is used in other countries.
It may be SFDA which is Saudi Food And Drug Authority

I find that 5 secs(per 10ml batch). in the microwave dissolves menthol crystals adequately. That's what i do anyway ;cheers;
