Sweeteners - which one or all of them?

[lemental]

There seems to be a few sweeteners recommended here and there:

Ethyl Maltol crystals
Stevia (alcohol based)
Stevia (water based)
TPA sweetener

Do they all have their uses or do you only really need one of the above?

My main one is Perfumers Sweetener, can't live without the stuff

Thanks Super-Shiny Do the others have their uses or is only one sweetener really necessary?

To be honest i have all of them but mainly stick to Perfumers sweetener, i think Ethyl Maltol is more candy like sweet, cannot remember.

Great stuff, thanks

If you look here you will notice it's in 90% of my mixes: allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/25161/roms-recipes

Now you see why i can't live without it

A lot of the concentrates I'm buying are those to make up some of your recipes. Great list, thanks

I'm also very hungry now

TPA's Sweetener is my preferred choice as well Lemental, Sucralose based . . . it's stronger/ more intense than the other two, so use sparingly if you're substituting it in a recipe that uses either EM or Stevia.

[lemental]

Excellent, thanks. I think I'll pick up some ethyl maltol as well as the TPA sweetener but will leave the Stevia off the list for the time being.

Perpetua Super-Shiny I notice that both your recipes for vanilla custard are fairly similar, just slightly different concentrations of flavourings.

How do they compare to GVC in taste?

[Super-Shiny]

I myself prefer it over GVC, but they are different too GVC, it does not gunk coils up as much as GVC.

EDIT: Double post, proboards messing with my mind again.

Super! Thanks so much for sharing your delicious sounding recipes!!

I've only once tried a sample of GVC that Blakey kindly sent me . . . long after I'd tinkered with a VC recipe Lemental, so I'm no authority on it. But my impression was both were very similar, although GVC was on the sweeter side.

Me too!  Somebody sent me a 2ml sample of the stuff.  I used it in my dripper and I thought I'd gone to heaven.  I'm keeping 1ml back so I can compare your recipe, see what floats my boat and adjust from there.

Thanks for posting your recipes too!
