So I'm awaiting an order that contains TFA Cotton Candy mostly because my buddies want a sweeter vape. I looked into it last week and saw (by using the search bar) that people use it as a sweetener. Just wanted to know how you use it and tips on making it work with other flavors. Thanks!
Cotton Candy is a straight dilution of 10% ethyl maltol - it's pure sugary goodness. Usually under 1% depending on what you're trying to accomplish and easier than mixing the crystals yourself!
edit: Here's a list of some recipes that use it, so you can get some ideas.
Thanks for the help man. I know a lot of people compare Ethyl Maltol with TFA Marshmellow too, is the comparison similar to the Cotton Candy and Marshmellow?
No problem :) TPA's site is a great resource to know what's up with all of their flavors - https://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/p-6689-marshmallow-flavor.aspx
Cotton Candy is a PURE EM dilution, nothing else. Which makes sense since real cotton candy is just spun sugar. Use it when you have a flavor that is good, but needs to be made sweeter with no other alteration.
Marshmallow is also sweet, but it adds a feeling of thickness to the vapor as well.. and it does contain Acetoin and AP
The only thing that hasn't already been said is how to make a Cotton Candy flavored mix with it.
10-12% TFA Cotton Candy. I have actually never vaped it but 2 different friends love it @12%.
I do orange cotton candy. Oranges all get washed out by EM, but if you use a mix of a few oranges and orange blossom, it brings out the flavor.
By itself or with fruits on top of it?
They like it by itself. I have begged to let me add some strawberry or blueberry and they don't want it. EM can mute flavors but I think just a little fruit would make it a lot more interesting.
It doesn't add a straight up white sugar taste, it's more of a sense of sweetness. I also think it adds a bit of mouth feel too, but it tends to fade over time.
