Using ejuice Me Up

Cotton Candy by Flavor West 20%
Nic 100mg vg based- target-18 mg
Flavor West sweetner 3%(I enter this in water/vodka/pga)

Target PG 40% VG 60%
Making a 10ml bottle

Results-(I round off my no.s)
Nic- 1.8ml
PG 1.9ml
VG-4ml
Sweetner-.3ml
Cotton Candy-2ml

Its okay but I want it sweeter with more flavor which means I'd have to add 1/3 of the bottle of flavor to get this.

Questions:

1.) Is there another brand flavor that is stronger, or are all cotton candy flavors weak?

2.) Does stevia come in liquid form? I don't mean a derivitive of stevia but pure stevia. I searched and found that FW sweetner is sucralose. My cancer doc would not be happy lol.

3.) Maybe I should add another flavor to the mix? I ended up using this recipe and adding several more drops of FW cotton candy to the mix..and a couple more drops of sweetner. Its not that bad, but its missing that strong cc flavor I love of the real thing.

Thank you so much for your help!! :)

It is my understanding that ethyl maltol {cotton candy} cannot be dissolved in high concentrations so it is never a very strong flavor. I found that TFA sweetener is MUCH stronger for sweetness than EM. But some do not like the flavor of Stevia.

I have never seen anyone try to actually make a cotton candy vape; seems that EM is used to smooth out other flavors and adding slight sweetness at concentrations of maybe 1% to 2%.......

Hope this helps. :vapor:

I love cotton candy......from WordUP ....Cotton Candy....forget the details..

and from the Vapor Room....PINK and Blue Cotton Candy ....the Blue is better....I get the 50/50 mix...24mg nicotine ..


if there was an option for sweetness or extra flavor I went for it ......

I think of all three, I like the Blue CC form the Vapor Room the best

Okay, so I added a couple more drops of sweetener and flavor. I got a good taste but after a few vapes it turns brown. I thought I had my voltage turned up too high, so I cleaned ot the cart, added new juice and turned the heat down and the juice is still turning brown. Is it harmful l at this stage? Except for the ugliness, it still tastes great. Maybe I should substitute the sucralose sweetener with ethyl maltol to stop the discoloration? Or use stevia drops?
