Help with mixing % s and dilution

[Joe 88]

So does anyone know what ratios ishould be mixing with additives
Like :
Ethal Maltol
Citric Acid
Malic Acid
A sweetner that doesn't have a perfume aftertaste.

Also does vinegar work.?

Last question. The glycerine I get is alot thicker (like a faint greenish tint)
Should I dilute this with water or alcohol?

I use 10 ml ethyl maltal in 30ml in pg...check out the recipe link for the super concentrated em...

As for the other stuff... start small like 1% or so and add to your own taste.

The wiki has a great guide to mixing and flavouring as well.

VG with green tint? Is it usp grade?.?.

With Ethyl Maltol, the flavouring reminds many of candy floss, but I don't think it has a perfume aftertaste when I have used it during mixing, a very little goes a long way.
Another sweetener is Dulce De Leche, a very mellow caramel base for mixing, again I have not found this to have an aftertaste, I use 2% with 15% flavour. This ratio is hugely dependent on the concentrate though, everyone has their own preferences.
I haven't used any other sweeteners for my mixes, mainly as these two hit all the taste notes I want, but if you search 'Stevia' this has been mentioned as a good option too.
Not sure about citric acid or malic acid as both of these are mentioned when talking about tanks cracking or frosting.
