So I placed an order and I have a surplus of like 40 ml TFA sweetener and 20 ml of CAP super sweet.

With out just combining them together, how can I get the result I'm looking for?

If you're curious why, when I first started DIY I made a Rocketman clone and it was a total banger.

Hadn't made it in awhile and I went by the recipe I found. I was sadly disappointed.

Earlier today I realized the difference. Originally I made it with Super Sweet because I didn't have Sweetener.

Just whipped some up based on my specs. Shake and vape. Total banger.

The TFA sweetener is not as strong as the CAP super sweet. You would have to use more of it and even then it wont taste entirely the same.

Thank you, but I thought my post made it clear that I already knew this.

I was asking if any DIY'ers have attempted a bit of flavor alchemy with ingredients like marshmellow, sweet creams, custard enhancers or other off label things like acids, etc. To try to replicate Super Sweet using sweetener as a base.

I’ve tried seven sweeteners and countless adds and fixers from marshmallows to cactus. Nothing tastes like CAP SS to me. I imagine some wizard out there could come close, but I find SS ain’t broke so I don’t need to fix it.

And I know, you don’t want your other sweetener to go to waste... I guess you could use it in other recipes, where you may not need SS so much.

@Morgan_Drury - You may want to check out the following, the info and the video.

Let’s Talk About: Sweeteners (Eliquid Mixing Techniques) – DIY OR DIE Vaping

This is particularly interesting as far as TFA Sweetener and CAP Super Sweet.: "TFA Sweetener is sucralose at 5% with Ethyl Maltol at 5%. Cap Super Sweet is sucralose at a 10% solution. FW Sweetener is just like TFA's. And if you purchase plain sucralose that's already diluted, then it's usually at a 5-10%. In this video I talk about the best way to use sucralose and ways to not use sucralose so make sure to watch it to learn more."

I don't see how it would be possible, with DIY wizardry or not...to make TFA Sweetener taste like CAP Super Sweet...when TFA already has EM in it, too. Just my :2c: though.

I appreciate this. You just gave me a usable starting point. If I discover anything of use, I'll post it.

As for the EM part, it would make sense that if I increase the sucralose to 10% and keep it at a constant as I reduce the amount EM per volume.

Once again, research first.
