EM alternatives?

Result.
1 teaspoon per 100ml is just right.

You need pure Stevia crystals, not the usual stuff from the supermarket which has been cut with something else ... pure Stevia is incredibly sweet and to my taste better than sucralose.
EM is not really the same kind of additive, yes it sweetens and makes fruits ping out. A closer equivalent would be a candy floss flavouring.

I mix about 0.5gm of Stevia in 10mls of PG, needs to be warmed to dissolve, add it in drops because it's potent.
I also buy TPA EM crystals and mix that in PG.

I was just gonna jump in and say the same thing!

dont use any off the shelf stevia (or sucralose for that matter) thats made for use as a sugar substitute ... it has things in it that are not good (anti-caking agents etc) and is not a pure product

by either premixed Stevia or sweetener concentrate for use in mixing from a reputable source or buy pure stevia or pure sucralose powder (or EM)

though I would advise the premixed stuff from TPA or the like for safetly if you havnt mixed it before .. tho its far from rocket science

I ended up with the powdered supermarket stuff, not the crystals.
Going to start with 1 teaspoon per 100ml, see where that takes me.

The choice is yours in the end - but in honesty .. I really would not recommend using this

its not pure stevia
