Ethyl Maltol 1drop per 1ml too much?

[Vaptor]

I use Ethyl Maltol (vendor 10% diluted mix) 1drop per 1ml and it tastes about right to me. But is 1drop per 1ml too much?
I mostly read that people add about 1 drop to 5ml. Can I encounter some problems if that's too much?

I'm not sure what % that comes out to but I use it as high as 5% in some of my recipes.

I'm not sure what the criteria is to differentiate between too much and too little if is isn't "tastes right to me"?

If you make the Analogy of EM = Sugar, then it gets down to How Sweet is Sweet.

I like Very Sweet e-liquids. Very Sweet.

And I Couldn't get their with EM. Because if you keep Adding EM, it doesn't just keep getting Sweeter. You reach a Point where it starts to taste Meh with Heavy Chemical Over Tones. At least for Me. That is why I use Sucralose instead of EM

So how much EM should you start with? I dunno.

1 drop per ml is a Easy place to Start. See how it tastes. If you need more, add more.

Just Write Down Everything you do so Once it is the Way You Like It, you can Duplicate it Down the Road.

Wouldn't that be 1%? I figure: 20 drops~1ml
And I'm not being a smartass, seriously, I meant this as a question.

 

[zoiDman]

If 20 Drops = 1ml

That 1 Drop = 1/20 of a ml

and 1/20 = .05

So .05 = 5% (.05 x 100)

Thus 1 Drop is 5% of 1 ml for 20 Drops/ml.

This is the best explanation of the effects of EM at various concentrations:

You are correct! I misread the question! My bad...I was figuring 1 drop in 5ml. Sorry about that!

To clarify, I was just wondering if 1 drop to 1ml is too much. Some posts and vendors selling EM state 1 drop to 5ml. So I thought maybe after long time steeping too much EM can turn the mix to taste bad. Basically I'm just having problems making my mixes sweet. EM helps little bit, Sucralose does nothing for me and too much of it tastes bad. I've been looking for a way to make make really sweet juice for a year with very little success.

This link was already posted, but if you'll read post #114 specifically, I think that will answer your question.

People vape 10% solutions AS cotton candy. So adding a dilution to a dilution is going to make it. forgive me.. more diluted.
You can use EM at a high %. It will get bitter after a time. The best fewfew liquid that I have made yet uses 30% and tastes like a name brand gum.
