Anyone else really liking monkfruit as a sweetener?

submitted about 9 years ago by silenttd

I picked some up from Nude Nicotine and have been throwing it in as my sweetener for a couple of recipes. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it does a really good job of combatting vapers tongue. I usually go through a 30ml at a time before switching flavors and everything always ended up muted by the time I got 2/3 through the bottle. Since switching I notice the flavors holding up throughout and I don't really lose the "sweetness sensation". It's worth trying if you come across it.

I also have been enjoying it. I can't use sucralose so it's a nice sweetener alternative for me. I haven't used it extensively though since I don't really have that big of a sweet tooth, and I've become so acclimated to not using any additional sweetener it's hard for me to remember to use some here and there lol. I do have a couple recipe ideas that I think it will work really well in though, and for those I will be grateful that I have this alternative.

Try lowering your flavor percentages by 10% if you're getting vapors tongue with diy. Since I started making my own I haven't had vapors tongue.

Another great sweetener is marshmallow. I use it with most of my fruit mixes for a nice sweet boost. 1-2% is all you need.

I like it but have been using it kind of sparingly because I thought it was a little expensive, I'm using erythrytol a good bit also.

Is there that much of a difference between the two? By the description on the site, they seemed pretty similar

Not a whole lot- for the price, I would probably choose erythrytol. I've been really happy with it. I bought the powder from Amazon and can make my own with VG.

Thanks so much! I couldn't find it. Just ordered some more. Are you cutting yours with anything or using it as is?

How about the gunking of the coils and cotton? Is it far better than EM and Sucralose in that area? I'd love a sweetener that was good and also didn't gunk up coils.

Haven't really had an issue with it yet, but I'm only through a couple bottles of fluid with it so far

I got their news letter\email a while back stating they had like 3-4 new sweeteners for sale. I've been wanting to try them out myself... Especially if they taste good and don't add any coil gunking. This could be an amazing breakthrough for DIY if it hits both marks. And also if it doesn't mute flavors.
