Is it true that you can add liquid ethyl Maltol to any ejuice to make it sweeter?

Yes you can. It will make it sweeter. Too much may dull the other flavors however.
You do have the option of Sucralose as sweetener. I am familiar with the taste so that is what I use mostly. It has been said EM can give you more "mouthfeel" at the right percentages. Certain flavors like Cotton Candy are often pretty much EM but not much else. Or, you can use something like whipped or toasted marshmallow and add a smidge of other flavor too.
TFA Supersweet (I think it is) is for the most part Sucralose. One drop will go a long way. I use it much less than I did starting DIY. 1 drop per 30 ml is good enough for me, if I use it at all.
There are also another sweeteners like erythritol (I hear it's even stronger but I haven't tried it) and it's FDA approved and can be vaped and probably a few others.

I agree with everything she said.
Yes. Yes you can.
You can also and this...

... if Ethyl Maltol doesn't get you where you Want to Be.
Many diabetics are using juice sweeteners with no issues. The flavor percentages in our juices is negligible so pretty harmless unless you are pg intolerant.
Thank you so much. I am a sponge right now and a newbie. I appreciate all the info on the different choices out there. Awesome!
I’m taking notes right now on all these awesome tips. Thanks to everyone who commented and shared their insights.
Does anyone have any recommendations regarding adding a sweetener to lab juice? Especially salt nic?
Just Seven Words when it comes to TFA Sweetener...
A Little Goes a Very Long Way
2 or 3 drops in 30ml of e-Liquid is where I would start.
Ethyl Maltol isn't really a "sweetener" or sweetness enhancer, like The Flavor Apprentice Sweetener, Capella Super Sweet, Flavorah Sweetness (a flavorless sweetness enhancer), or others. The main purpose of Ethyl Maltol is actually to help lessen the harshness or "bite" of some flavorings, like citrusy fruits and others that are very tart to some people.
Because TFA and other manufacturers have a flavoring named "Cotton Candy" (which is an Ethyl Maltol solution) many who are new to DIY think its very sweet like actual Cotton Candy. However, it's not. When they try to use it as a sweetener...they'll often end up adding SO much, (trying to get the eliquid sweet enough), that it dulls and eventually mutes the other flavorings in it.
If what you're looking for is a sweetener...I'd use a flavoring that's actually sold as one, or is a sweetness enhancer. You'll use way less of it ( just drops) to achieve the result you're looking for, without it dulling or muting other flavorings like EM can do.
