Made from pure organic Reb A stevia powder in VG

Can’t really tell in that bottle, but if you have managed to remove all residue from the stevia/vg mix you have done well. When I tried it with VG found the Stevia didn’t dissolve fully and there was just to much lumpy residue left to be effective for me, it was still quite cloudy even after filtering.
Interesting you have added, ACV and Lime would have thought they would have counteracted the sweetness from the Stevia, but I know ACV is used in the commercially available Stevia dilutions. So it makes sense to give it ago…
How many grammes of powder to VG did you use in your mix out of interest. I use 1g/9ml of PG or VG when I tried it with that.
I use 1 teaspoon stevia powder to 30ml VG.
I have no problem with it blending, but I only mix/stir with a magnetic mixer.
It stays milky colored, but smooth, and it stays blended. Takes about 50 minutes.
The ACV and the Lime juice is 5 drops each per 30ml

@ozo Do you use the green dried powdered leaves in your brew and leave them in ? Are the acids in there to act as a preservative ? Again sorry for the third degree
It’s white powder, no acids, no additives, preservatives, fillers etc.
This is the ONLY one I use/trust…but I do have a bottle of the same thing made by Pyure.

@ozo Over here in the UK we have similar looking products but when you read the descriptions they are guaranteeing that the stevia in their product is 97% pure but they don’t guarantee that the product in the container just pure stevia, if that makes sense.
Ive made a batch of stevia leaf powder/pg, Ill give it a couple of days steeping and attempt to strain it through some microporous material that I use in my aquarium filters to see how it goes.
I`m only logging all of this in case it can be of use to someone in the future
Thanks for your replies

@bluenose63 Ive read about DIYers using 9% saline before and I wouldnt mind giving it a try. Would you mind sharing the finer details with me and maybe we could compare notes ?
I bought some from the rite-aid pharmacy for making the Charlie Noble’s PB Cereal recipe. It is the only recipe I have used it in (was super low percent) and haven’t tried that recipe without it yet. I sprayed ~30 nl into a dripper bottle for ejuice and put the rest of the bottle in the medicine cabinet. That 30ml I sprayed out will last me a life time even if I actually remember to start using it in other nut/caramel based recipes. I think it can certainly add a little depth to those types of flavors that would benefit from a little salty note but don’t have enough experience yet to really be of any further help.

Good find. Thank you for sharing your info. A question if i may. Does it cloud the final mixes?
pm sent, rather than derail this thread on Stevia
No, it doesn’t cloud the mix.
It sweetens, and it smoothes.
I don’t know where this is sourced, and it doesn’t claim ‘organic’,
but it is the same type of powder, and it’s available to you.
There is another sold in the UK that is organic, but I will need to find the link.

This is a good one, according to a friend.
She makes it the same as I do.

So the powdered leaf experiment didn`t turn out too well, but I got hold of “Better Stevia Original” liquid.
The ingredients are de ionised water, certified organic stevia extract (Reb) and 11% alcohol, will I need to dilute it before use ?

@Chewy I wasn`t able to get hold of the organic powder so I got the liquid described in my last post
