What is the difference? and how do they compare to ethyl maltol? Need someone smarter than me to answer this please. I own ethyl maltol and cotton candy, but want to try a couple recipes that call for TFA sweetener.

Cotton candy is ethyl maltol (EM). Sweetener is sucralose.

Well, thats easy then. When i buy ethyl maltol from nude or other vendors it says 10% EM. Is TFA cotton candy also 10% EM?

If you’re looking to sweeten your juices EM over time mutes flavours.

I’ve found using Marshmallow under 2% (thanks @ringling ) helps to sweeten without muting the flavours.

But as @daath has said EM and cotton candy are one and the same.

Sweetner also tends to gunk up your coils faster. I dont use sweetener or EM often. I do use marshmellow quite a bit, it lends a slight sweetness and a smooth, moist ‘feel’

Yes, correct, it does add a certain mouth felt texture as well. IT’S NOT JUST FOR SWEETNESS ANYMORE…lol

Hi. In this recipe http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/249820/Rocketman%20Clone%20(But%20Better)
say "Sweetener (Ethyl Maltol/EM)"

It is Ethyl Maltol…used as the 'sweetener’
If it was “Sweetener” it would be listed as Sweetener (TFA)

There are two types of TFA Cotton Candy the ordinary TFA Cotton Candy and TFA Cotton Candy (Circus)

I prefer the circus version as it has a hint of raspberry/berries to it and works better as an enhancer/sweetener because of this in certain fruit mixes for my tastes
