sweeteners are normally used sparingly (between 1 and 5% of total) and the most common is a ethyl maltol (EM). the simplest way to get it is to just order a cotton candy flavor concentrate like The Flavor Apprentice brand from a DIY company like One Stop DIY - One Stop DIY Shop

As the previous poster mentioned. EM is the biggest sweetner used, not only will it sweeten a juice, but it can blend a juice together as well as get rid of the dryness in your mouth when you vape. A sucralose sweetner can be used as well, but it can be rough on coils. People will dilute agave in PG down and use that as well as it will give a unique flavor to juices. :)

ugh ive tried my best to avoid artificial sweeteners (equal/splenda/the.pink.stuff) for almost 10 years....

now i gotta watch for it in my eliquid too?

... this could be a deal-breaker

There are many brands that don't use any artificial sweeteners... stick with Organic/ all natural brands.

Sugar + heat is problematic.

You're talking about 1%. Out of a 30ml bottle (which probably lasts around 10 days) that's 1/3 of a ml.

are the artificial sweeteners declared in the ingredients on the bottle? i dont see any on my current bottles. i will have to look more carefully from now on.

I'd check the FAQ on the company websites. Off the top of my head, Virgin Vapors, Dripeez, Alice in Vapeland and Free State Vapor all use natural and or/or organic flavorings with no artificial sweeteners.
