Ethyl Maltol

[jrob3rts]

Hi All,
Just did the crazy thing and bought a couple of flavours - Well, quite a few used ones.
So, looking at mixing because I want to play a little.
The flavours are flavour art and generally what I would consider to be quite sweet.

Do I need Ethyl Maltol, and if so, is this another option - http://www.ecigwizard.com/en/mixing...ies/sweetener-perfumers-apprentice-10ml.html?

Thanks for your time.

EM is a lil less a sweetener... I find that EM is more like a binder, it helps blend flavours together and make certain flavours pop if they seem a lil dry.

Sweetener is like sugar water (not really) but it adds that sugar taste that some flavours need to be complete.

Grab both

Hiya,
Thanks for the quick response. I'll do that.
Interesting note regarding this too, will be good to see the pros and cons of using it.
How long should I wait after mixing before trying too?

I drip taste test my juice after about a half hour of mixing, but then I let it steep top off in a dark dry place for 24 hours.

Sometimes after 24 hours I find I need to add more em, sweetener or flavour...


I think the best time a juice is just after it starts to change colour. Some flavours need to change in order to reach the full potential.

If you can, put you concentrate is first, then add the base. That allows for diffusing them faster.
But still wait for at least 24 hours before testing and tweaking anything, otherwise what you taste might not be what you get.

What she said - EM will make some flavours that seem dull pop into life.
