About how long does Ethyl Maltol take to dillute in PG? I created a 10 Ml solution about 24 hours ago, but the crystals are still there....Is this normal?

in a glass bottle with PG/VG and a table spoon full of EM in 30 ML's it takes 15 seconds exactly,,, NO MORE THEN 15 seconds though, pull the bottle right there at 15 Sec's and your good to go it will be completely dissolved, give a shake a bit just to help it out a bit. It's how I do mine anyways![]()
i'm just so lazy.. i just buy it premixed...

I used PG - I thought my measurements were pretty accurate. 10mL of PG, and 1/4 teaspoon of EM. It will be going on 48 hours if when I get home today it still hasn't dissolved. If it hasn't, do I just throw the batch out?
I tried to give it a warm bath, too, which seemed to help, slightly, but there are significant crystals still.

I have no idea what the saturation point (the point where PG will not accept more EM) might be, but if you put in too much that could be part of your problem. Yes, by all means... use hot water from the microwave.I didn't let it get that hot, though I let it get quite warm. Today, if when I get home it's still not dissolved, I will try once more, with some very hot water from the microwave. If that doesn't work, then I will just extract what I have with the syringe and try it out.
Next time - if I don't buy EM solution - I'll try to ensure I am as accurate as I can with the EM Crystals. The problem is that the little scooper I have is tiny and 1/32 of a teaspoon. So I used 8 of those to equal 1/4 of a teaspoon; however, I'm not sure how accurate I was in filling the scooper...the tiny mounds may have risen higher than the scooper, meaning I may have used more EM than I should have.
