Flavor Enhancer - What is it?

[DomVapor]

What is flavor enhancer? When should it be used? How does it change the flavor?

I've got a couple links to blogs where you should find out a lot of info on diy, including "enhancing" flavors.

Zero help there on those blogs. Maybe I should be a bit more specific. I have Flavor West Flavor Enhancer. My questions are:
1) What is it?
2) When should I add it?
3) How does it change the flavor of the juice its added to?

Did a google search and it seems to be an EM aka Ethyl Maltol like sweetener. Flavor West is notorious for not saying what is in their flavorings. Since it says *soften* in their description this leads me to believe it has *Triacetin* in it which is also in TFA Smooth and FA MTS vape Wizard. Both of those are used to smooth out rough edges or to help meld flavorings in a mix. They can be used in Tobaccos to help mellow them and in other mixes to help with the same. Hope this helps, that seems to be so far not widely used - making it hard to figure out what it truly does. (I have TFA smooth and have yet to use it after a year of DIY - that is not to say I have not tried it - I just was not impressed.)
