What is the best sweetener?

[FreeTimeNow]

I saw on ecigexpress Sucralose Sweetener and a Malted Milk Flavor described as a sweetener. I see in a lot of Bill's recipes he calls for a sweetener and want to get the right one.

Also, it seems like Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is used instead of just Vanilla. Would Vanilla work or would it be missing something?

Ethyl Malto aka EM aka Cotton Candy is probably the most common. Too much can mess with your taste buds. Sucralose and Stevia are used by some.

Some people use a flavor for a sweetener because it already has one of the above in it and you need the other flavor anyway.

You almost have to try all of them for yourself to see which one suits you the best.

For sweetening I use Sucralose or Stevia

For thickness and body I use EM. EM is not ment to be used for sweetening,

What ever you decide to use start at .5%

When I first started to do DIY, I used EM.

I just about gave up because I couldn't make things "Candy" Sweet with EM. And that was a Big Reason I wanted to do DIY. To make Strong Flavors that were also Sweet. EM just didn't cut it. Because if you add a Lot, it just turns to a Chemical blah taste.

Then, by chance, I found Sucralose. And all the Pieces fell into place.

If you like Sweet. Or Very Sweet. I would recommend a Sucralose Sweetener like TFA makes.

1oz (30ml) of the TFA sweetener will sweeten 1.5L of e-liquids when used at 2%, in most cases that's going to come off very sweet.

That's about like asking "which is the best flavor?" I prefer sucralose, TFA Sweetener, but some say that it tastes artificial to them; frankly I can't tell the diff, in taste, between sugar and sucralose.

It's all subjective; 2% sweetener, to me, would be "wow, this needs a lot of sweetening." But I put sugar on frosted mini-wheats.

The TFA(The Flavor Apprentice) sweetener is very nice IMO.
