Holy Ethyl Maltol Batman! Should I dilute this??

[mrcoolbp]

I just got into DIY, and I made a few tabbacco juices that were okay but wicked dry. Enter the Ethyl Maltol (EM). Holy bajeezes this stuff is great (and very powerful). They transformed my barely vape-able first attempts into something more interesting, sweetness is through the roof now and they are not dry but full and moist.

But even with only 1 tiny drop of EM in 10ml of juice it completely overpowers my tabbacco flavors. I tried adding another drop of flavor (I'm using super concentrates), but all I taste is cotton candy. Should I further dilute this solution before using (I'm using the 10% EM from TPA)??

How do you guys use this stuff? Yeah I could try a larger batch, but I'm still trying out my few flavorings I have and learning them, I don't want to waste a ton of juice if I make some that is horrible.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, tiny amounts can do wonders and sometimes the butterfly farts have to come from dilution's to make it work.

The alternative is larger batches which is usually iffy when working up a new recipe...

Thanks Hoosier. You're a legend, it's an honor to have your response. I'll try a dilution so I can keep working in small batches for now.

 

[Hoosier]

Um, a legend? Nah, I just like mixing juice and trying stuff. (Most of my experiments are horrible things, but I learn the most from horrible.)

 

[mrcoolbp]

So modest. Mark of a true legend.

Where did you get the SC of the EM...been looking and looking for it, but can't find it...Wizard Labs has it listed, as I just placed an order with them, but are out of stock.

DIY has it cheep but you will have to mix it yourself.

The SC is the tobacco flavoring.

The EM is the typical 10% solution. Even a super saturated EM solution will not be much higher than 10%.

Yes as Hoosier pointed out I'm just using the standard 10% solution of EM. The Super Concentrates are my tobacco flavors. Going to try a 2.5% EM solution today though because for me it is already "super" concentrated
