Cap super sweet Ingredients:
Water, Sucralose, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate
TFA sweetener Ingredients:propylene Glycol, Water, Sucralose.
FW sweetener Ingredients: Natural and Artificial Flavoring, Sucralose and Propylene Glycol
Still cant find anything on the pur super sweet
All these are sucralose based and tend to break down at fairly low temps(hence the gunky coils). Think Im going to switch to this Stevia Solutions (5-10%) - Nude Nicotine . Stevia based and holds up quite well to heat.
I'd be willing to give Stevia Solutions a shot too. Let me know how it works for you. Thank you for that info!

I don't adore artificial sweeteners either, but I'll take sucralose over stevia any day of the week. I just find it almost impossible to get rid of that "bitter" aftertaste. It's not even when you are actually tasting it, it's like after it crosses your tongue. I've only ever had stevia alone as a sweetener when drinking vitamin water, and they do a decent job I guess, of reducing the bitterness. I read that most "diet sodas" couldn't make it work without some sugar to "mask/reduce" the bitterness. It does seem to be the case that you'll get a bitter aftertaste (and, I'd guess that depends in what concentrations you would use it.

I'm kind of used to sucralose, it was in my diet pepsi forever, but I just looked at a bottle, and they switched their dang forumula, which is great. Aspartame and NutraSweet I can rid myself of any day of the week, sucralose (LOL, if you drink enough of it anyway) will give you some uncomfortableness if you try to cold turkey it (and let me be clear, I'm not talking about the kind of quantities used in vaping, at all, I'm talking say 2 liters in the course of a day or whatnot (I drink less than that now, but will HAPPILY replace the remainder with unsweetened, sparkling water, especially as summer approaches. LOL.

I made a blueberry muffin DIY the other day and for a make it up as you go, it was very good. There was however, a bit of sweetness missing. Not having a dedicated sweetener, I tried a tiny bit of cotton candy, but it was still lacking. After reading this, I used a tiny sprinkle of Splenda (sucralose). After warming to get it into solution, the mix is dead on the money (for me). I only added a fraction of a percent, but I can hear a slight difference when the liquid vaporizes, although it's not gunking the coil at all so far. It's on a single spaced 28ga SS316 coil in a Speed Revolution rda on a squonk mod in TC mode. A little goes a long way. I'm probably going to mix a small bottle of it w/distilled water to use for this application.

Splenda usually contains 95% dextrose (D-glucose) and maltodextrin (by volume) which the body readily metabolizes, combined with a small amount of mostly indigestible sucralose. Sucralose is made by replacing three select hydrogen-oxygen groups on sucrose (table sugar) molecules with three chlorine atoms. The tightly bound chlorine atoms create a molecular structure that is stable under intense conditions.[14] Sucralose itself is recognized as safe to ingest as a diabetic sugar substitute,[15][16] but the sugars or other carbohydrates used as bulking agents in Splenda products should be evaluated individually. The recommended amount of sucralose that can be consumed on a daily basis over a person's lifetime without any adverse effects is 9 mg/kg BW/day, or about 0.6 g for a 70 kg (150 lb) person.[17]
