Nope 400 mg stevia extract (rebaudiana) per ML of solution. Alcohol and water make up the rest.
Ahhhh ok I gotcha. I'm gonna follow your previously mentioned 1 drop per ml. Easier to measure for me. What flavors have you had success sweetening with the stevia?
If you like it pretty sweet 1 drop per ml. I went 2 drops on some strawberry that was a bit raspy.
I have done peach, strawberry, watermelon of course, blueberry , ripe banana, Strawberries n cream.
Trying some lemon, but not much luck so far, mostly furniture polish so far....
I have stayed in the fruity stuff so far and some tobacco which I do not sweeten. Moving into creams and such now.
the brand in NuNaturals clear Stevia. 2 oz bottle is about $10 and lasts me over 6 months.
And except for tobacco I use it in all my juice.
Congratulations on your first batch!!! As far as sweeteners, I normally use like marshmallow, cotton candy, whipped cream, or brown sugar flavors. I was just given a 30 ml bottle of Super Sweet from Capella from a friend to try out. If you have time, the other flavors will sweeten over a period but the Super Sweet sweetens right away. I use one drop per 10 ml as my preference. Hope this helps. Enjoy the wonderful world of being your own "Mad Chemist!" *evil laugh/ mua-ahahahahahaaaa *

Thanks for your input bud. I've thought of doing his as well, but I don't want to taint the flavor profile of my juices with other flavors. I would much rather use a pure sweetener.
You would be surprised with what you come up with just by adding diff flavors. I have personally added a little bit of English toffee to get more of a Blueberry taste without even tasting the English toffee flavor at all.... something to think about. Don't rule it all the way out.
Its funny you say this Ablonz, because soon after i posted my reply i went on amazon and ordered more flavors. Some of which included caramel and cookie dough flavors that i think will be very sweet (just to help buff the sweetness of some of my flavor mixes)
Just an fyi pretty much all the sweet flavorings that are used as sweetners like cotton candy, etc are sweetened with artificial sweetners.
Just saying as an fyi. They work fine for most folks but not for all of us.

Now
which is why I went the stevia route. It's the most "natural" artificial sweetener of the bunch.
Yep been using the Stevia for 6 months now and no issues to report from it. And I like my fruity juices really sweet.
Of course I may drop dead tomorrow? But not likely from vaping Stevia.

Did you notice any increased steep time for the stevia? Or is it drop, shake, and vape like sucralose?
Pretty much drop shake and vape. I usually ahake well. Put the bottle into a cup of hot tap water. Let it cool. Shake again and vape.
Hey Robert do you ever get browning of your cotton from the stevia? Mines turning an orangey brown right now.
Yep it does that. Pretty much all sweet juices do that. I just rewick cotton or when i used silica soaked the coil in alc and let it dry.
