1/4 Teaspoon to 10 mL PG is what seems to be the usual advice, and heat in a hot water bath to dissolve.

I beg to differ. I have also read that EM is only soluble up to 8%. Either that is incorrect or the assumption that a 1/4 teaspoon in 10ml will achieve this.

Anyone know any canuk vendors who sell smaller amounts of EM? I'm all out and don't really feel like waiting weeks for an OS shipment.
ocelot New Member
Perfumers/flavours apprentice cotton candy is 10% EM in PG. 10ml should last me until I can order some pure stuff overseas.

You guys who haven't heard of Ethyl Maltol - grab some! It's one of the closest things to magic in DIY Probably the #1 thing to buy even before you get your flavours (or at the same time anyway)
soxscort New Member
agree, its a savior to DIY. Adds a nice burnt sugarish caramel flavour to the mix. Strange that no canuk vendors sell it, i had to order it in from OS.

So if you had it at 10% in PG, what would be a good starting point? 1 ml in 30ml juice?
axterisko New Member
It looks like white sugar. Same sort of sized granules. I had no worries dissolving it in warm pg. I put 9ml of pg in a 10ml bottle and added enough em to fill the bottle to the 10ml mark, zapped in microwave, shaked, microwaved, shaked.... i have been using it around 3%.

I'm not very good at measuring but I dissolve the crystals to saturation in some kick arse 95 proof Polish vodka and use 1 drop or less per final mixed mil of juice.
What is the difference between sucralose and ethyl maltol?
So don't think these compounds can be substituted for eachother. Ethyl Maltol is a sweetener that inherently sweetens certain aromas. This means if you have a strawberry flavoring you think would work better in your recipe if that flavor itself was a touch sweeter, using ethyl maltol will help you. Sucralose on the other hand is an overall sweetener. This is akin to putting sugar into your juice. So sucralose adds sweetness on top of your entire mix. This may be confusing at first, but after using these sweeteners you'll understand very quickly what I mean. A great way to use Ethyl Maltol is when you have a recipe where some ingredients you are using could use some sweetness. So if a strawberry banana recipe you have is kind of lacking sweetness by the strawberry because of the thickness of the banana, and you don't want to add an overall sweet flavor to the recipe, then a touch of Ethyl Maltol could be used to bring forward the sweetness just a bit. If you wanted the entire mix to have a sweeter flavor, where the sweetness is felt along the entire palate, then a touch of sucralose would be better. Ethyl Maltol inherently sweetens where sucralose completely sweetens. That's the best way I can describe the difference between the two. Now these sweeteners, if used incorrectly, can completely mute and dumb down your recipes. The reason a lot of mixers can't stand commercial juice is because of the amount of sweetener they add in their mixes. The reason they do it is to hide any imbalances or imperfections in the recipe by covering it up with a sweet taste. It's the same reason a lot of American food is so sweet. People attribute sweet flavor to being good, but it's simply not the case. Nonetheless these are two VERY popular "enhancers" and once you start mixing your own recipes you should reserve a spot for them. Sweeteners can make or break your recipes so be smart when you use them.
Why do you call flavor enhancers "tools"?
The reason I throw enhancers into quotes is because it's kind of a misleading title. When people talk about these flavor enhancers they really are only talking about single aroma compounds. These aroma compounds just make small changes to your recipes due to the nature of the compound. Also, if used incorrectly will do anything but enhance the flavor of your mix. So instead I like to call them "tools" because that's just what they are. they have a specific purpose for a specific job to aid you in getting the result you're looking for.
