No, Ethyl Maltol is not a good substitute. These two flavor additive/enhancers share nothing in common. As you can see below.

Acetyl Pyrazine taste description: Roasted, nutty, bready and yeasty, with popcorn and corn chip nuances good for graham cracker flavors.

Ethyl Maltol (EM) – Common confectionary sweetner used in eliquids to round out harsh upper notes and sweeten sour/bitter flavors. You may know ethyl maltol solutions by the name – Cotton Candy

if anything id drop it completely , however the mixer seems to know what hes doing and the juice has a great following so im sure he used the AP for a reason , id imagine at that percentage and with the other flavors the AP was probably what enhanced those other flavors to taste how it does … so id leave it as is and grab some AP

Do you have any Popcorn concentrates or you could just bump both hazelnut and peanut butter up by .2% each. All AP is doing is adding richness and /or support to any nut or grain note here.

It’s like asking if you can replace nuts with sugar… 2 toootally different things.
(You probably could try, but it’ll be a totally different recipe)

Best bet if you don’t have AP is to just leave it out of the recipe, but know it won’t be the same. AP leaves a noticeable difference in even tiny amounts.
To my knowledge, there is no good substitute. AP provides a unique flavor and mouthfeel.
If you don’t have access to AP from TPA, you could make it yourself by dissolving AP crystals in PG.
