Erythritol

submitted about 9 years ago by newphreak

Hi, as there is nobody (that I can find in europe) that's selling erythritol yet, and I can see ecig-express sells it in powder form also. I got a little curious, as the "powder" looks exactly like the "sugar" called Sukrin here in norway. On the package it say's it's made out of erythritol.

Is this something i can blend myself in pg? And if so, what percentages/grams would i use to blend a 15ml bottle?

I hear (at least) one UK retailer has some on order - give it a week or two to appear?

The shipping may be slow however you can get Erythritol mixed here

I conveniently stumbled upon a pack of erythritol crystals in the supermarket, I know you can blend that into a solution with pg, but I have yet to find ratios. Seeing you can buy a ton for cheap at my local supermarket this would be awesome to know

First, this type of question should probably go in the "new mixers" thread. If it's just pure erythritol in the package, you can. IIRC, you need to mix it in to VG, as it doesn't work as well in PG. You want a 5% solution. I'm not sure on the amounts, but around .75 grams erythritol to around 14.6 ml or 18.4 grams of vg if I'm figuring it right. Hopefully someone can confirm or give correct amounts.

Thanks for the answer, will try this in VG some day soon then. I was unsure if it should have gone in new mixers thread or not. It's a question I'm sure more people are wondering about, so I figured this would be better. But if not feel free to shoot me. :) As far as I can figure it's pure erythritol, but need to do some more research.

A quick google search for 'sukrin ingredients' shows it has malt extract, as well as what looks like other sweeteners. I'd stick with pure erythritol.

there are sweeteners that are just erythritol and stevia that might be easier to find than just erythritol. just make sure there aren't any fillers or preservatives.

So are you saying in Norway they literally don't require ingredients on their food packaging ...? Because that sounds a little unbelievable.
