Sweeten them up

[toots]

Anyone know if you can get something to sweeten up ready-made e-liquid? I've got some juices which, if they were sweeter, I reckon I would enjoy much more than I do now.

I mean, I got coffee but it tastes like coffee without sugar, how about adding a couple of drops of sweetener to make it coffee with 2 sugars please, that sort of thing.

I've heard peeps on here talk about sweeteners for home made juices but what about these ready made ones? Anthing for them?

I use Ethyl Maltol just 2 - 3 drops per 10ml, some use Stevia, but don't use the Stevia you can buy in supermarkets as it has other additives.

Link to sweeteners in the Mixology Board HERE

DiscoDes been looking online, would this one be any good you reckon sweetleaf stevia

toots, you only need a drop or two, so you know that you're getting the right stuff, look on somewhere like www.leisureliquids.com/
They have one mixed with water or alcohol www.leisureliquids.com/stevia%20water.html & www.leisureliquids.com/stevia.html They also have a sucralose sweetener... www.leisureliquids.com/sweetenerpa.html


ETA: Forgot the code ALL10 for 10% off, so if there's anything else you need at the same time.....

I'd steer clear as "Natural Flavours" does not say what they are.
Use the links from jess and OneDay

Perfect OneDay, and cheaper coz I don't have to buy so much in one go

Now I just need to browse through their site for other stuff I might want, to justify shipping charges

[toots]

Hmmm, do I now go for one of those DIY mixing starter kits, am I ready for all that yet it's tempting.

I am getting a bit fed up with paying out all these shipping costs to get decent juices to my door, and having to buy so much juice at any one time to justify the shipping charges from the Uk. If I made my own would it work out any cheaper for me I wonder.......thinking hard here brain's gone into overload.....don't know what to do

[giles]

I'd recommend mixing your own. It's easy, cheaper, and you can tailor the taste to what you want.

How much cheaper depends on what you are paying now, and maybe what flavouring you use (I make my coffee with doppio espresso, which is about 3 times as expensive as CW)

I don't know what the shipping charges are to the Canaries, but DIY juice works out MUCH cheaper than ready-made.

if you're asking yourself this, then you are ready to mix

[toots]

If I go for this mixing lark, I'm gonna need one hell of a lot of help from all you experts on here, coz I haven't the faintest idea where to start and I can see myself doing a lot of this and this and this whilst I'm trying to do this

Good god, all I wanted originally was a sweetener
