The sweetener is truly sweet. Ms T only actually adds sweetener to a few juices, like her milkshakes. The sweetness of the rest of the flavors tends to come directly from the flavorings. The sweetener should be used very sparingly, because one drop is like a teaspoon of sugar. It is an artificial sweetener though. I personally have always hated artificial sweeteners, and tried this stuff under a veil of skepticism. It is actually really good, and tastes less artificial than any other sweetener I have tried. I put a drop on my tongue once, and I would NOT suggest doing this. It is kind of like someone is pouring a pound of sugar in your mouth and then punching you repeatedly in the taste buds. You never want to vape it straight or even put a drop into a carto because it is much to sweet for that (plus that much is very difficult to get out of your atty). One drop should be added to a 6ml bottle of juice, and then shaken up. Some people MIGHT use another drop in that 6ml bottle, but I don't know of many people who have used more than that. As stated, at $3 a bottle, it is certainly worth having around if you like a sweeter juice. One bottle of it should last a pretty long time. Another nice thing about its concentration is that one or even two drops in a 6ml bottle will have a very minimal impact on the juice's consistency.
Regarding flavorings, Ms T uses the max amount of flavoring she can in her juices. This is why we don't offer "extra" flavor for additional money. It already has the max in it! Some places will charge regular price for a weakly flavored juice, and then hit you up for another dollar to get "extra" flavor. Now, these flavorings are PG based, and some flavors require a higher ratio of flavoring to achieve the level of flavor Ms T is going for. Since our VG/PG mix is higher on the VG side, more PG based flavoring will in fact thin it somewhat. That's why Ms T's juices may vary in consistency even though they all use the same base mixture. We have never actually had a problem with any of them being TOO thin, often people request thinner ones because some of the tank systems out there aren't very capable of working well with thicker juices. On a side note, we have a Testing Area item called THINNER Cotton Candy that uses more PG than VG. We might consider offering more thinner flavors in the future.
Some people may add flavorings to our juices, but we don't recommend it. There is a high potential that you could ruin the juice by making it taste perfumey. Ms T's recipes are pretty tried and true, and are very precisely measured to achieve a balance in flavor and vapor. Also, we have found that some people are adding things like oils or other non-approved flavorings to their juices, and that kind of stuff actually makes T lose sleep. She hates knowing that people are just dumping any and everything into their juices to augment the flavor. Most often it seems as though those who have recently switched from cigarettes are the ones who are requesting stronger flavors. One thing to bear in mind is that our taste buds undergo quite a change after the switch, so simply giving it a little time may also help one's perception of the flavors.
