I’m starting from the bottom and need to know everything I will need to diy. I really want to make it with stevia or pyure. I’m totally clueless. What are the best sites to buy from?

No, you don’t need a to add a location to your profile. Folks just don’t want to assume your in the US.

Personally I use the KAL brand of stevia for my diy, I did get it from DIYFS (diyflavorshack.com), but for some reason I can’t find it on their site today. Really like stevia for my juice, and I normally only use 1 drop, or 2 drops max per 30ml,3 drops if I want something super-sweet. Super-concentrated. Stevia works really well for me, doesn’t gunk coils that I’m aware and no wierd aftertaste either. The KAL brand is really good, and a 15ml bottle lasts a long, long time.

I use Now brand Glycerite Stevia (at 0.5% in fruit mixes, dont use it in bakery mixes) that I ordered from Amazon as I started using Stevia long before all the DIY vendors had vape specific brands.

@Adrienne22 I am starting to test using Stevia and am using @ozo’s stevia stone. Didn’t want to buy premixed for fear of additives, picked up a tin of Stevita Stevia, and mixed it 1/2 teaspoon in a 15ml bottle, and topped it off with PG. Ozo is the expert for sure and he also uses ACV and Lime juice in an adaption of his stone to further accent fruits, but I’m still working on testing with JUST pure Stevia. The Stevita brand is 100% pure, no additives.

I feel confident with my now brand glycerite ingredients:
If you want to test some PM me your shipping details and I will mail you 15ml to test, no cost. I have 2 x 60ml bottles and it will probably go bad before I can use it as I only use it with fruits and I think I am done with fruit vapes.

@SessionDrummer Did your mix separate after a while? I mixed up 10 mls using 2 g of Stevia (Reb-A) with 9ml of PG (20% dilution). I used in my coffee for about a week, went to use it this morning and it was staring to like ball up. Checked it after work and it was separated, Stevia on the bottom and PG on top.

@28If, No mine did not separate at all. Now I notice you mixed twice the strength (slightly more) than I did. I used just over a gram in 15ml of PG, whereas you used 2 grams in 10ml. I’m still experimenting with it on my end, so I will perhaps have to mix up a 2x strength to match yours and see what results I get. For now, @ 1g per 15ml it’s mixed good.

Never had a problem with adding stevia. Only problem I had was mixing the powdered form to PG. It would separate back to solids in the bottle. I only buy the liquid form now. I buy it from Walmart in the grocery section for about $5 for 60ml bottle.

I tried using liquid Stevia very early on in my mixing journey. It certainly can change or cause muting in a recipe if used too high. Though to be fair so can .50% FA Marshmallow. I would try adding just a drop of Stevia to your mixture instead of .50%. If you still feel like its muted then decrease the marshmallow by .25%.
