Ethyl Maltol for anyone who does not know is a white, sweet smelling powder, Which is used to soften and sweeten DIY mixes. Wikipedia describes it as, an organic compound that is common flavoring in some confectioneries. It is related to the more common flavoring maltol by replacement of the methyl group by an ethyl group.
I personally use Ethyl Maltol in some of my mixes that need a bit of sweetness or that have sharp flavors that need to be toned down. I recommend Ethyl Maltol be used by placing 1/4 teaspoon of Ethyl Maltol into a 15ml bottle, then add 10ml of Propylene Glycol, then cap and shake vigorously to combine the mixture.
Ethyl Maltol is very strong and only needs to be added at roughly a 1% mix. For a full 10ml bottle of e-liquid I use 3-4 drops to flavor the entire bottle. So a premixed 10ml bottle of 'EM' should last you a very long time.
Ethyl Maltol can best be described as a pure sugar and to my knowledge metabolizes as such into the body. Care should be taken if you are diabetic as it has the possibility to fluctuate blood sugar levels, especially when used in higher then recommended doses.
