I know it was only #3 on your list, but in the EU Xylitol has been banned from use in soft drinks because of it's laxative effects. I would suggest you try using Ethyl Maltol or Stevia - EM's good for "rounding off" harsh edges - but add to mixes sparingly; it gives a candy floss flavor to your mix, but will make it bitter if too much is added, and may also mute certain flavors. For 10 ml I would add one or two drops only.

The fluegelmeister! How ARE you! :)

Yeah, a goddess.... :facepalm: (and a legend in my own lunchbox)

Thank you, sweetie.
is good, lady Katgoddess :)

getting my ducks in a row and getting back to work on some more DIY juice - since the king cake worked out so well, going to work on a raspberry cream cheese filling, a beignet vape and start working on some fruit flavors...

hope your new year is starting off well, lady!

Well then... That explains everything.
Stevia believe it or not gives me the same reaction.

Plus:
I cannot handle the chemical taste/smell associated with PG or Stevia ect ect.

I am curious to know:
Is ethyl maltol going to carry that same chem taste? I am currently mixing with sucralose (flavor apprentice sweetner)

EM tends to be more of a 'smoother' than a sweetener, per se - adds some body to some mixes and rounds them out a little, but not so much of a sweet, really


And people wonder why I ask so many questions... Allll over the net it is touted as the most potent sweetner... Bloody hell.

I will stick with what I got!

Thank ya[emoji108]

Howdy!

I am in Toronto and ordered some flavours from Canvape when I started DIY. Fairly cheap, big selection and they ship quick. I highly recommend them.

One reason why I am so happy with my own DIY is because I only ordered flavours required for specific recipes I found on ECF, the TFA recipe book and other sources on the Internet. Ordering a bunch of flavours and just mixing away blind doesn't seem to end well often.

Also, I use Lorann Cotton Candy instead of EM or other sweeteners. I am very happy with the results and it is about $6CAD for a 30ml.

Good luck!

You my friend... have impeccable timing.
I shall head over to their site and browse..and shop of course.
...Loranns has been a disappointment as of late in regards to flavour/pricing... on a rating sweet to diabetic coma sweet how would you rate their cotton candy?
Many a thanks!

It isn't insanely sweet.

I made a juice with 15% strawberry, 5% vanilla custard and 10% cotton candy and it tastes great.

Only Lorann flavour I like/use. All the rest are TFA, Capella and Flavor West.
