Using Ethyl Maltol to make cotton candy

[toots]

I've read a few times somewhere that you can make a cotton candy flavour simply by using ethyl maltol instead of buying the cotton candy concentrate. If that's the case how much would I need to use in a 5ml mix for instance?

I would be making it up at 16mg nic and 100% VG and my nic liquid is 72mg in VG

I've got a 30ml bottle of the stuff so I might as well give it a try

Though it doesn't work for me personally as a sweetener, I don't find it either sweet or ' tasty '.

My personal sweetening preference is for a Sucralose based one, TPA's or Flavor West's I generally buy.

Yeah Perpetua I think I'm going to have to get some of that perfumers apprentice sweetner. I added some ethyl maltol to some liquid but it didn't seem to sweeten it at all, so ended up mixing some of Papillon's pre-mixed caramel & cream which did sweeten it.

Damn it, I bought 30ml of ethyl maltol   Now I don't really know what to use it for

I've fallen into the same trap in the past if it's any consolation Toots . . . I'd suggest selling it on, as lots of mixers do like it. But it's probably not so easy with postage for you.

Another useful ' condiment ' are Vanillin Crystals, I don't find them especially sweet but they do bring a nice creaminess to a mix. Available as crystals or ready mixed:
