Has any of you Vapefreaks used Stevia flavor drops?

[VapoVamp]

I ran across these this morning looking for an alternate to the ethol maltol(which is a commercial chemical)I only use organic DIY flavors & tobaccos. This looked like the ticket to me...organic flavoring plus the natural sweetner together.... any thoughts?

I have and use stevia clear no flavor added. I have noticed from juice to juice it requires different amounts per ml.

IMO for me it is sweet out of ejuice but requiers a little or a lot more then some people on here say. I like it, as far as cartos go I find it does "clog" them a little bit faster then juice with out it but not much faster.

EM is an organic compound. I tried stevia and didn't care for i. I don't know much about the flavoring they use is it listed.

I've only used it in beverages, but it's an acquired taste and not everyone likes it. It also seems to make a difference how strong it comes through depending on the flavor (sorry I can't be more specific). It's also pretty strong in the liquid concentrate.

JD, Strong is good for us DIY'ers....It didn't specify on their web pg if the flavors were concentrated..thanx again for the insight. See a'll in the Vapehaze

Yes they have several natural flavors already sweetened....

Thanks Double x.....I find I'm still using all my carts, attys, tanks, clearamizer, xpressomizers, etc I purchased 2 months ago when I first started vaping....YEA!!!! I'm living with vaping...instead of dying smoking. See you in the organic vapehaze

What I don't like about that site and those flavoured stevia drops is that they don't say what the medium/carrier is (or what the flavours are).

For their unflavoured Stevia they say "purified water", which is ok as far as that goes. (I have no idea how soluble Stevia is in water, or whether it is closely filtered for particulates from the plant.)

Now for vaping purposes it would be a very good thing if the carrier/medium for the flavoured drops was something like water mixed with alcohol or PG - but I guess that doesn't sound organic enough for a site like this. /sarcasm

I guess you should email them and ask!




Sorry for the sarcasm; the problem I have with many things labeled organic is the OMG! Dihydrogen Monoxide kills! - vibe that is so often present. And when it comes to vaping, ANY fuzzy claims about "all natural" says absolutely zero about the healthyness or not of a certain substance* - the application is very different from ingesting or using topically, so any "micro-nutrients" etc would tend to be a problem, not a positive.

But even though the verbiage of that particular site irks me a bit, the company might still be very competent and the product might be very suited to vaping - so do ask them!

*not that "all natural" actually says anything when it comes to food or cosmetics either, but there at least most sellers and enthusiasts don't go around extolling the virtues of such natural things as [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_virosa]Amanita Virosa[/url] (unless they are [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGIbOGu8q0]homeopaths of course[/url] ).
As you might have guessed I don't really see the appeal of "natural acidity from lemons" over "E330", or even "natural flavour enhancer made from soy" over "E621" or (gasp!)"Sodium Glutamate" - it will still be sour, and if I am sensitive to glutamates I will still get a headache, no matter how naturally occurring the offending chemical is.

Yeah, I hear ya Tona. I'm of the mind that the same chemical from an industrial or natural source is, well, the same chemical.

Now if you want to go organic for moral or ethical reasons, I'm not about to argue with you -- that's personal.

I found Stevia one time in vegetable glycerine, so I picked up a bottle to try. It was very thick, just like glycerin is, and very sweet. I really didn't care for it, as it seemed to make my juice have a chemical taste, sort of like the chemical taste of saccharin. Never was able to get the sweetness I was looking for without running into that taste.
