If that doesn't do it I'll try the stevia.

The cotton candy is a flavor, not a sweetener. Stevia and sucralose are sweeteners, not flavors. I concur that it sounds like you want the sweetener.

I use stevia, but I prefer sucralose, because it's more concentrated.

I couldn't find any stevia liquid that didn't have a lot of other things in the ingredient lists as well, but I did find a powder. Safeway brand stevia, believe it or not, is the purest thing sold in any store where I live.

I prepare it by dissolving 4g (2 packets) of the stevia powder per milliliter of boiling water. mix well until there is no powder left, then let cool. A tiny powder may precipitate out as it cools and settle on the bottom. I then pour the cooled liquid into a container, being sure not to transfer any precipitate with it.

I usually find that 5 or 6 drops in 6ml of liquid does the trick, but it can vary.

I tried putting 1 drop of CC flavoring per 10ml of mixed juice in a few juices but it puts the cotton candy taste in them. I think I'll just have to figure out a way to effectively administer the powdered sucralose I got. If that doesn't do it I'll try the stevia.

That's wild. I've been using it at 1 drop per 1-2mls and getting great results. Crazy how different tastes can be.

I tried diluting sucralose from Splenda packets (free from work - shhh) in warm water. Worked like a charm, but I try to avoid water in my mixes. Maybe try a packet or two in 10ml of PG.

I have pure powdered sucralose that I ordered but I have no idea how or in what ratio's I would mix the sucralose & PG/VG. I started a thread about it, hopefully someone can help with the method and measurements.
