Agave for a sweetener?

C&H® Organic Agave Nectar Products

Has anyone tried using this as a sweetener for their DIY liquids? Walmart sells it for 4 dollars, and while that's a ton of sweetener, you can also use it for other things that you would use sugar in.

From what I understand, it's a somewhat viscous material, something resembling syrup.

Anyone ever tried it? Would it just stick to the atty? Any ideas?

I have heard, and tried, agave as a sweetener. As was stated, I found the the coil seemed to "gunk up" or burn out a bit faster. There is a thread on this forum regarding sweeteners (you will have to do a search as my linking doesn't seem to be working atm). From what I recall, though, is many people use Sucralose (which I hate), Ethyl Maltol (or one of its derivatives like cotton candy). I typicality use Ethyl Maltol or (my favorite) Splendex. Good luck - hope you find a sweetener you like.

You can get ezsweetz on their website for like 3.00 shipped . Its sucralose and i really like it.

I recommend EZsweetz as an alternative as well. Do keep in mind that the "sweetness" of differing agents can be quite significant. If you can, it is a good idea to mix graduated portions to determine how much of your selected sweetener should be used to suit your tastes. I can tell you that Splendex is very potent. Again, good luck.

I'd imagine the Agave to carbon up pretty quickly under high temperature (similar to burnt sugar in a pan). Not only will it kill an atty pretty quickly, but vaping burnt toast is unappealing.

Well, it's not really an issue of finding a sweetener. I know that sucralose works fine, and I can order it. More that I'm searching for locally available stuff that I can just run out and buy, and more on the natural side.

Agave in that heavy syrup form would turn into a hard caramel on the coils. Like hard candy.

I tried Agave in various concentrations and no matter how dilute the sol'n, the coils on a CE2 ended up with a black gunk which I assumed was caramelized sugar. If I remember, Agave is supposed to be something like 600 (?) times sweeter than table sugar. Sounded like a great "natural" sweetener, but it's physical properties just don't cut it. Now I have container of Agave to experiment with in the kitchen.....lol

I use it everyday in my coffee, works good in home made margarita mix too, but I would never try and vape it! EM works well for me as does PA sweetener.

I agree EM or cotton candy flavor is the best.I tried the Agave,doesn't work too well.
