You can use sucralose. ;-)

What grazia15 said, if you have no sucralose you can also use stevia and to some extent VG.

EZ-Sweetz is what I'm using.

I bought liquid Stevia at GNC. I like it better that EZSweets (sucralose) or EM (ethyl malto).

I also use EZ-sweetz. I've been using it in my coffee for years. Since it's just suspended liquid sucralose (no fillers like in the packets), and I already had it in the house, there's no sense in me paying more for a different liquid sucralose that's less concentrated.

Using sucralose is a good idea - it is actually a kind of sugar, but is so concentrated that you need only a tiny amount, so it won't clog up your atty, like some other sugars will. Dont use Splenda- this contains maltodextrin, which is a naturally occuring sugar. Likewise, many other sweeteners, even liquid ones contain fillers and flavour regulators that will also make them impure and may damage your kit/health. Another great sweetener is Ethyl Maltol (EM) which is an ingredient in cotton candy/candy floss. This also adds a little bitterness to a mix and is a great "body" building agent. Hope this helps.

Sucralose can be bought from Liberty Flights but is very diluted. I get my sucralose as a pure powder and mix with PG in warm water. Ethyl Maltol is a trade ingredient and can usually only be bought in bulk, though some suppliers do it in smaller amounts. In UK, I buy from Ecigwizard.

EDIT- I just added this to my blog, which explains in more detail how to sweeten your liquids.

I use ethyl maltol, I dilute the crystals with 151 Everclear at 20%. I use 1 drop per 10 ml..Any more than that will lose the sweetness and becomes bitter.. Sucalose makes me nauseas

Splenda and sucralose are the same thing.

 

[Spazmelda]

Splenda and sucralose are the same thing.

As Dan pointed out, Splenda has fillers (dextrose and maltodextrin). The fillers are used to make the Splenda similar in volume to sugar, as sucralose is ~600x sweeter than sugar. The pure sucralose powder or Ez-sweetz does not contain those fillers.

Are we all talking about the same EZ sweets?

Ingredients:

Filtered Water
Sucralose
Potassium Sorbate
Succinic Acid
Sodium Benzoate
Citric Acid

Check here: (ingredients bottom right)

EZ-Sweetz® Free Sample

 

[Spazmelda]

Yep, those ingredients are mostly preservatives, not fillers. I'm not sure what the succinic acid is in there for, but the rest are preservatives.

I don't like sweeteners because of the number they seem to do on cartos / attys with clogging them. I use different flavorings to make things sweet like white chocolate and marshmallow. Ethyl Malitol/Cotton Candy taste chemical to me.
