    what are the ingredients on your bottle?

    if there's just water and extract your good..

    just don't vape anything that lists funky ingredients and you'll be fine. I did look up the why of it for you. . took me a minute to edit my post.. sorry was a bit slow.

    let's see...

    Suessungsmittel stevioglycoside (4.8%) = sweetener stevioglycoside
    saeurungsmittel citronensaeure = citritc acid (this sounds scary)
    coservative = potassium sorbate (weird stuff?)
    wasser = water

    hmmm...
    like pyure zero sugar, fat, etc. but it has 0.03/100 salts. it doesn't list alcohol unlike pyure.. this which @chanelvaps 's suggested don't have alcohol either
    Swanson Premium Liquid Stevia (Alcohol Free) 2 fl oz Liquid - Swanson Health Products

    there's no alcohol in the kind I use, maybe that's a new thing, either that or your not looking at the organic.. in such a case I'd go with the suggestion by chanel..

    I have finally reached guru status! yeah! haha... I am amazed, that only took 4-1/2 years as a member, and thanks to the shiny thread I was actually able to post enough! Hahaha

    Some of you have definitely run circles around me on posting though... but slowly but surely I made it!

    Hahaha

    @NolaMel @chanelvaps @Opinionated i found stevia_ couple of caveats:
    not organic, and i noticed some products in the organic section that specifically said 'no stevia'_ is the first bad and does the latter generally meaning there is something iffy abt stevia? i mean the whole point of my mixing venture is avoiding potentially harmful stuff like DAAPs and sugars...
    i got it but it's fine if i don't use it as the resident baking german would definitely be experimenting with...
    thanks for advice thus far:):):)
    Not sure about it not saying organic. I say go for it. See what others say. Most of the flavorings we use, CAP, FlavorArt, Flavorah are not organic. I can only think of one that is and that is Natures Flavors

    The 1st time I tried DIY, I gave up on it, was trying a lot of complex mixes and using syringes, was just to much time and trouble.

    Now got back into mixing, but now have scales, which saves a ton of time, I also do a lot of 'single shot' mixes, which make mixing, super easy and quick, others mixes I try, normally have under 6 flavors, and once done a tester, if I like it, I will mix a bigger bottle, so lasts me longer between mixes.

    With my 2nd attempt being a lot more successful and not such a chore to be mixing, I think 'single shots' are a great way to start off, and move up from there IMO.
    First time I tired it I chucked everything deeming it 'no good' someone reminded me about steeping and I learned to not chuck things before at least 2-3 weeks.
    I am still mixing with syringes. Never bought a scale. I like to be able to toss all stuff into a big baggie and get it put away in a file cabinet. Just what I know and feels like it works for me.

    This is the Amazon pic of a package I just got delivered. Not vape stuff, just some headphones. It's being checked out by one of the dogs. She would have opened it for me if I hadn't spotted it right away.

    citric acid is found in lemons and is a preservative. Potassium sorbate is also a preservative. More questions arise with potassium sorbate. Both of these ingredients are in capella super sweet. But as you want to avoid bad stuff, here's a thread on it:
    Capella Super Sweet warnings

    Maybe this stuff:

    email and ask them when else is in there

    POSSUM :w00t:

    OH boy here in little "peaceful" ol NZ, people's eyes go grey at the mention of that word. They are the arch enemy here. We have a possum fur trade here...:w00t:
    They were brought in by the early settlers for their fur. Their population soon exploded however...no predation.
    With that population explosion the indigenous trees started to suffer. They feed on the new growth tips and that kills the trees. Beautiful trees hundreds of years old have dissapeared and its a continued fight to try and save what is left. People in neighborhoods even trap them as they are everywhere around here. One stopped me in my tracks (scared the hell out of the dog) one dark night when I first heard its unearthly sound.
    Yeah I don't blame the possum (beautiful creature), but I LOVE and treasure trees more.
