sugar in flavorings

[the ob]

I have a friend who wants to start smoking ecigs, but is not allowed to have sugar (some paleo diet thing)
I know I can taste sweetness when I use the juices.

Is there actual sugar in these flavorings? If she has a sugar issue should she not use these sweet flavors? Is vaping the sugar different?

thanks for your help!

I'm pretty sure all the nicquids have artificial sweeteners not real sugar. Splenda and Ethyl Maltos usually.

thanks! I would be curious from people who DIY is this is indeed the case.

Yes, I use TPA's sweetener, which I believe is sucralose dissolved in a PG carrier. Nice and sweet with zero calories. I have heard of people using stevia extract in their mixes but it creates a funky earthy taste (at least for me) that I'm not really fond of. I have also dissolved splenda packets in PGA and that worked for me, too.

Sugar or sugar substitutes like corn syrup would quickly clog up and ruin your atomizer/carto. PG and VG are slighly sweet on their own, so it's not always necessary to add any sweetener.

+1 Lamb, I heard most vendors use artificial sweeteners. The best ways to be sure is either DIY or check with the juice vendor before buying it. VG is naturally sweet, some made from palm oil.
