Any ethyl maltol such as this one. That 10g bottle will last you your entire mixing life as it will make 100ml of 10% EM solution when mixed and diluted with PG. I bought a bottle of 10% EM dilution in May last year and have used less than 2ml so far. It's not a very common ingredient any more and even when it is used, it's likely to be at 1% or less.
Quite a few fruits contain maltol as well. The current trend is for mixers to add a small amount of Strawberry Ripe (1% or so) in place of Cotton Candy or EM.

Brilliant, il have a look at that... I placed an order last night for some more concentrates! So amped for the next mixing session! Will get this hopefully soon, thanks
I set yesterday aside for practicing my mixing skills and went about working on two works in progress. One is a melon based recipe and the other a berry menthol.
After accidentally decanting the last remnants of a 5l VG container into a quarter full 250ml PG bottle, which was a bad omen I should have heeded, I created a third base ingredient (VG/PG 57/43 the PG fortunately was visible atop the VG) and set about mixing.
After mixing and "tuning" the menthol recipe, I set it aside and started on the melon one. First attempt got chucked and the second attempt required higher percentages of two concentrates. So I quickly added more Cantaloupe and Watermelon to the mix, shook it well and let it stand a bit while packing away and cleaning.
Testing this lot got seriously confusing. I altogether increased total flavor with 5% but I swear it did not make the slightest difference to the end result. Anyhow, set aside to steep and leave it at that.
Today at work I fill up my BB with my berry menthol and within five pulls the mystery got solved. I added the extra concentrates to the wrong mix. In fact not a disaster as the result is rather intriguing. Berry litchi on the inhale, Berries on the exhale which toward the end turn into a nice melon with lasting aftertaste.
Might be worth exploring further...

@Raindance ... and the moral of the story? If in doubt, DON'T chuck it out! Who knows, you might just have the next winning e-liquid!
