There are a lot of "flavorings" that have plenty of sweetness on their own and don't require any to be added.
I suggest making up 1-2ml of each of your flavorings by it's self and trying it.
I do that just to find how sweet, how strong, etc each one is.
You can do this without adding any nic.
I often have the same flavor from different company's, and testing them tells me who's is good and who's isn't
Even if I whip up a recipe, I won't add any sweetener until I try it.
It's easy to add if needed.
And YES, juice companies add sweeteners to pre-mixed liquids, depending on the juice.
Personally I believe the flavoring companies add it to the flavoring too, because a lot of them are sweet.
Necessary ??? depends on the juice. Sweetener will bring out some flavors.
It boils down to ..if you don't want to use a sweetener in your DIY, it's up to you ..you're the one vaping it
What I don't like is a lot of them use Maltitol instead of Sucralose.
Maltitol is derived from sugar, and is just as bad as sugar (for me).
That's one reason I DIY, and try to stay away from the flavorings that taste to sweet on their own.

Mount Baker Vapor has some pre-made sweetner here: Sweetener Electronic Cigarette Flavoring - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes It's rather inexpensive, so it might be a good alternative to give it a try before buying some sucralose. At least you have a baseline to compare your DIY sweetner to.
Thank you guys for the advice. I'll def. try out 2-3ml mixtures and drip those first to get an idea of the flavor before adding sweetener.
And I'm really glad there's alternatives to sucralose << because it gives me migraines
I always stay away from e juices with ingredient labels that say it contains sucralose.
Other juices sometimes just say "sweeteners" but the sucralose actually has a pretty distinct taste that I can tell if that's what's being used.
But the reason I asked if most companies use sweeteners is because some juice labels list the ingredients as just: VG, pg, Nic, and natural and artificial flavoring.
So my guess is that if they are using a sweetener it's included in their label as nat/artificial flavors?

One more question for you guys who are experienced with DIY e juice:
How long do you steep your mixes before vaping?
Also does steeping really bring out the flavors or ??

I haven't ever used sweetner in my ejuice's because none needed it. There have been some that needed a lil' something to help make them taste moister, ex: Vanilla cupcake is dry tasting so I add marshmellow to help with that dry taste. Marshmellow is sweet so I don't use much, just enough to get the results I need.
I haven't had the need to add a sweetener, per se, but like DetraMental, I've used marshmallow or cotton candy (ethyl maltol) in tiny percentages in recipes. I think the marshmallow is better, so far.
I have used ethyl maltol as sweetener, it helps round out a flavor more than really making it sweeter like stevia will. I usually try to go without it though, and if needed I use as little as possible.
i use liquid stevia , but stay away from the flavored stevias for some reason the burn .but the clear liquid stevia is good.
favors can vary as far as steeping ,i use lorann banana cream alot and it needs no steeping i can vape as soon as i mix it .also i do find when steeping put your new bottle of juice in a dark place for an hour or so.
Single fruit flavors generally don't need to be steeped.
I dump a packet of sweet and low into a 3ml bottle. Whenever I use some, I add more and stir it.

Sorry to just barge in here, but I use liquid Splenda (sucralose) for cooking. Could I use it in e-juice? It would just be to sweeten up a ready-made.
