NatashaTMT Thanks for that advice! If you don’t mind... In your opinion, is cotton cotton just ethyl maltol? I don't know for a fact, however, I have read many times that is true w/o contradiction. I have found that EM/CC has a distinct taste and does effect the mix taste wise. I have read that quite a few flavor concentrates are blended with EM so you have to keep in mind the flavors your using with EM.
