Sweetener options (other than EM or sucralose)..?

[we2rcool]

Newbie here (but I"ve been digging in deep on the research). I'm getting ready to DIY, but I'm seeing various limitations/problems with EM, and I do not want to use sucralose (it's one of those 'approved by the FDA' chemicals that -imo- is extremely toxic).

I'm going to be using primarily 80 - 100% VG/nic as a base, striving for an end result that is 80% VG or higher. I realize (for now) I'll be stuck with a few 'sucralose added' flavors (I'll just do my best to avoid the sucralose...which imo in miniscule amounts is still better than sucking down hot tar all day). Once I gather more information, I'll be working on making my own flavors.

There must be other options for sweeteners (hopefully). I'd sure appreciate knowing what they are, where I can get them, and what y'alls experience is with them.

Thanks bundles!

Some have had some success with Stevia extract. I personally use EM, but I'll occasionally use Sucralose. Many flavors don't need sweetener to begin with actually.

Thanks for the idea - I'll check it out!

You might not need sweetener with that much VG.

Agree with OPs. I use stevia if necessary but VG is quite sweet anyway. With stevia I just dissolve a couple of teaspoons of it in ordinary boiling tap water - just enough for it all to dissolve. Don't need to add much to elquid so the water base is not a problem.

I've used EM, but find that it doesn't sweeten as much as I like with some juices. I bought a 30ml bottle of 'Sweetener' made by Signature Arts, and it definitely does the job for me. I use about 1 drop per 5ml, so 30ml should last a while.

marshmallow will add sweetness and increase the "body" of eliquid mixtures, just 2% added can help.
