Sweet Juice - Finally

[Technobob]

Any updates? I would love to know how the banana tastes with this sweetener

I'd like to know how it turns out The sweet pg base sounds good If you only need a tiny bit of the drops it might be fine

I got my Splendex yesterday, but every recipe I've concocted today has been sweet enough, so I've had no reason to test it. I wish that I could remember that dull recipe that I made last week - that one that wasn't sweet enough.

I'm still searching for a measuring spoon smaller than 1/8 tsp. I know they make them but can't find them locally.

There is an item called a "grey dye spoon" that has a 1/16 measure on it. I use one for dying wool, and I got it from Pro chem. I would post a link, but since I just joined the forum, can't post it yet

Wonder if it would contribute to tooth decay...LOL!

Since this stuff is *so* sweet, and its so difficult to measure tiny amounts, my plan was to mix a batch of "Sweet PG" - one drop of Splendex with 1 ml of plain, no-nic PG, or something like that. Then, in any recipes I make, I can simply substitute 1 or 2 drops of Sweet PG for regular PG, or whatever it comes out to be. I'm sure that it will take some experimentation to get the "Sweet PG" correct, as well as how much of that to substitute in a recipe, but this seems to be the only way to accurately measure out such a powerful ingredient.


I ordered 1 ounce of liquid Splendex from this site:

$10 for the ounce, PayPal enabled, and no shipping charge. It's $2 more than your purchase, but well worth it if it works out.

Just ordered some, if it is 600X sweeter than surgar, then 1 drop would equal 600 drops of surgar. So I am thinking I put some over to a 10ml dropper bottle and use 1 drop for 10ml of ejuice and see what it is like. TeeHee can wait, I like surgar with my coffee!!!! Yay!

I do know that Splendex will carmelize with heat, so be careful using this. If you get carmelized sugars in your atty I don't think you will be getting them out.

I mixed up a batch today with VG, Watkins Vanilla, distilled water and a touch of stevia extract.

It came out VERY sweet, quite tasty, and stevia doesn't carmelize, nor does it have any calories.

If you try Stevia, please, please make sure it is pure stevia. The stuff you find in grocery stores has stevia plus other junk.

You will find pure stevia in health food stores

What did you do to determine that it does not caramelize and is there a name brand I should look for in health stores.

[Scottes]

I ordered a bottle of Stevia, too. I tasted it - a drop directly on my tongue - and found it to be a little bitter. I'm going to stick to Splendex for now.


I have to wonder about Splendex's caramelization tendencies. I do not doubt IndyColtsfan, but the amount of Splendex in a bottle of e-juice should be so little that the caramelization should be minute. Yes, it could build up over time, but I don't intend to sweeten too many flavors, so I wouldn't think it would be a problem. For me.

Again, I don't doubt Indy. Use at your own risk.
