Ethyl Malto Crystals in DIY

[Myah_June2014]

Hi everybody, just starting with DIY juices. How do you dissolve your crystals so it stays in liquid form & how much do you usually use? Obviously we use different based on tastes but looking for a good starting point for 10 ml bottle of peach? Any feedback I would appreciate, Ty!

I make a base mix @ 10%. Crush EM with mortar/pestle add 1ml per 9ml WARM PG/VG, stir/shake till dissolved. A drop of tobacco absolute and lemon juice... easy DIY fun.

EM dissolves better in PG.
Try approx 1g in 10ml of PG - add and shake. Microwave on low power for 10 seconds if required.
If all the crystals dissolve then that's it. If not try adding a touch more PG and heat/shake again.
If using VG, you may find that you have to heat, shake check and repeat as required until you get a stable solution.

above instructions are right on the money. All I can add is a 50/50 solution of PG/PGA also works great and desolves even better. I recommend once mixed using no more then .5% in your mix.

I have no scale, will get one though. You have any idea how much of teaspoon form to add to 10 ml pg? Also, may be stupid but what if my mix doesn't require 10 ml of PG & only 4? Do I put the 4 ml in & put the rest of the mix in a separate bottle for later time?

I believe it's 1/4 of a teaspoon. I think you misunderstood. Once you mix the EM in 10ml of PG it's a flavor per say. You would add a certain percentage (most people start at .5-1%) to your juice.

Cheers,

I bought mine at Wizard Labs, 7 grams for $1.49. That's enough to make 70ml at a 10% solution (lifetime supply lol). Unfortunately they are currently out of stock. You can enter your email and they will send you an email when it comes iback in.
