One and done!! Fairly inexpensive fix..$135 and I have a faucet on the other side of the house. Of course, I could've done it cheaper myself but Lynn does not do under her house. No way, no how! I'll climb on top of it, but will not go under it! Now I need to go and let Mr Nosy aka Bear loose from where he is tethered.

Most excellent! I hate crawling under the house, but since I am little I am usually drafted.....

I haven't run across much on erythritol, though I find some original posts on it and vaping back to 2013. I hadn't run across monk fruit before, it keeps popping up in sweetener threads where I see erythritol.

Sidney is awfully cute! Geordi is a Belgian Tervuren.

Gorgeous dog.

I have anudder question, you might be able to help with, or point me in the right direction.
If I want to mix my own erythritol 5% solution, how do I make the calculation when the erythritol is a powder, and I'm mixing it with a liquid (VG)?

@tejas, I believe 1 part erithytol to 19 parts PG?

@tejas, I believe 1 part erithytol to 19 parts PG?

Thanks... if I'm measuring the VG in milliliters how do I measure the erithytol powder?

 

[markfm]

What I've seen over on E-liquid-recipes is mixing by weight, 1 part erythritol to 10 or 20 parts VG. They also mention possibly microwaving it (use a glass bottle) for just like 10 seconds to help get it to initially dissolve, and to be careful, as the bottle will be hot.

Erythritol doesn't dissolve in PG, according to that site, you do need VG.

I'd probably try 1 g to 10 g of VG. You can always cut it later if it's a bit stronger than you want.

(I have a small digital scale from when we were doing nicotine measurements a couple years ago, titration. I have plenty of VG, but no erythritol., else I'd happily make some)

 

[tejas]

Guess I'll have to improvise. I have no scales sensitive enough for this.
Thanks.

 

[markfm]

No problem.

Erythritol density is 1.45g per cubic cm. VG is 1.26 g per cubic cm.

About 2 ml of erythritol crystals to 21 ml of VG would be close to 10% solution (by weight), or 8.7% by volume.

 

[mmsjs5]

Thanks... if I'm measuring the VG in milliliters how do I measure the erithytol powder?

1 tsp is almost 5 ml so 1/4 tsp = approx 1 ml. I'd use the 1/4 tsp as 1 ml, and go from there.

 

[markfm]

You might also use the plunger end of a syringe. Cap the bottom of it and pour some of the erythritol into it. The syringe becomes a small measuring cup.

Woo hoo! Woke up to find I won the DIY Flavor Shack FDA/US contest! $25 gift certificate. Hum, now what to get....

Congratulations on the win! I like the donut base and one of the blueberries.
Cinnamon nut cheesecake was a bit over the top on the cinnamon, I'll likely add a bit of plain Natures Flavors Cheesecake to rebalance it
