Is it possible to add too much sweetener? Would it taste sickeningly sweet or would it cancel itself out like too much flavoring does?

You can make them overly sweet so start in 1% increments and work up.

Overly sweet in the sense that the sweet taste looses its sweetness?

I don't think Hoosier's flavoring theory applies to Sucralose or Stevia. The amount used will directly translate to how sweet it tastes.

EM does different things at different amounts. I'm sure somebody else around here knows more than me about what EM does at very high percentages.

EM is the most forgiving on getting too sweet, but will eventually get there. Stevia can get bitter if you use too much and, is bitter always to some people. Sucralose is very good at making a sickly, syrupy taste quickly and, does have a definite diet sweetener aftertaste to it.

I am one that finds any stevia bitter, and EM is harder to get so, I use sucralose, but I also use the powdered form for my sweet tea, so I'm used to the diet taste of it and, that doesn't bother me.

Too much sweetener always burns on my coils, talk about nasty. I'm guessing anything over 3% turns my coils into gunk after about half a tankful. 1% EZSweetz is WAY sweet to me, I think I'll try diluting it before using it again.
