strawberry whip

nosferatu · Aug 24, 2015

i believe this is the closest im gonna get to elements strawberry whip, this recipe is by far the best strawberries and cream i have made by a mile, a very sweet strawberry with a great cream background, thanks for looking.
tfa sweet cream 8%
capella sweet strawberry 10%
tfa bavarian cream 5%
totally wicked vanilla 2%
sweetener 2%

Looks good! -- I'm always searching for the strawberries and cream of my dreams, but I'm afraid of that much sweet cream in one mix! Have you tried it after a steep?

mjag · Aug 24, 2015

Not bad after a shake n vape, going to give it a couple of days to steep.

The only flavor I don't have is Totally Wicked Vanilla so I used 1% CAP Vanilla Custard v2 and 1% TFA Vanilla Swirl instead. Is TWV a lot more concentrated that maybe I should up the percentage of vanilla?

yeh its nice straight after a shake but im at one week and its really nice, id leave custard out personally, i think custard completely changes a the flavour profile, i think if you used vanilla swirl at 2% it would be pretty much the same, im not a fan of tw concentrates but their vanilla is nice

the high percentage of cream is needed for me as i really struggle to taste cream usually, iv steeped for one week and to me the flavour is great, the strawberry really comes through after a week, let me know what you think if you decide to mix it

Your right about the custard, threw some in the Arctic and the custard stands out even at only 1%. I should be getting some FA Vanilla Classic this week, would that be better than vanilla swirl? I am going to mix up another small batch but leave out custard this time.

I have to admit it is pretty tasty with the custard, I am thinking maybe a drop of graham in there. I am going to keep the recipe in my calculator for the one I made with custard and just change the name to Strawberry custard whip and keep your recipe separate.

I am not getting much strawberry but as you mentioned it needs more time to steep.

Thanks for the recipe.

yeh i think custard even at low percentages stands out too much, i wanted straight strawberries and cream with this mix no custard, vendors always seem to ruin a good strawberry cream by adding custard imo, vanilla classic would work much better, i think by adding graham with youre custard in there youre gonna be looking at more of a mothers milk taste, not a bad thing. like i said after a week the strawberry really stands out, if you do decide to play with the recipe let me know, always looking to improve my recipes

2 days of steeping so far on both bottles. I am a custard fan so I am leaning towards the first batch I made with the Cap VC. I have to admit that it was pretty sweet after a shake n vape but today the sweetness has mellowed, I had first thought to cut back the sweetener to 1%. It has a lot of body which I like but it still needs more time to steep for the flavors to blend together better and the strawberry pop out. I didn't add any graham cracker to the custard version but will try that out with another batch soon.

So far I really like both though. I think this is definitely a blend that people who love the gourmet store bought would enjoy, being new to DIY it is probably one of my favorite mixes so far.

Thanks again nosferatu, I will post again after 7 days steep, I better calm down on trying it though or it's not going to last that long!

Just got home with the strawberry whip sitting in my Arctic for 4 hours, damn does it taste good. I wonder if the juice steeps faster in a tank because of the heat and air that can get inside? It definitely tastes better than it did 4 hours ago, nice and creamy but the strawberry is still a little lacking.

mjag · Aug 27, 2015

I am going to have to make another batch tomorrow, filled up the arctic tonight so it can be ready for me in the morning

I got a nice cream with TFA Bavarian Cream/Sweet cream 2:1 ratio. Let it steep for a week and it's nice and creamy. I also added 1% TFA Raspberry Sweet under the strawberry. Gave it a nice punch.

cool mate glad youre liking it so far, the sweetness is perfect for me, i tried it at 1% but just felt like it needed more, as for the custard i have a few go to custard based recipes that i love, especially a custard cream one that is the best liquid i have ever tasted, for this though i wanted just strawberries and cream, i know what you mean about the strawberry lacking to start with but i find strawberry does require a steep, let me know how you find it after another week mate, cheers

mjag · Aug 28, 2015

Today I am digging your original recipe better and the sweetness has mellowed even more, the shake and vape was a whole lot sweeter.

Have you ever mixed 10% Stevia in PG for a different kind of sweetener? I was thinking of giving it a shot, only takes 1 packet that I already have at home.

Overall I really like it and will be making 60 mil soon, i just got my FA Vanilla Classic today (along with about 25 more FA flavors) so the mix kitchen is open!

Thanks again

I made another batch with Vanilla Classic (FA) and cut back the sweetener to 1%. I also read that a little Dragonfruit (TFA) can make the strawberry pop so I added 0.5% and the pop was there but maybe a little too much. Plan on making another batch with 0.25% dragonfruit and will also try when I get some raspberry as I heard that will have the same effect.

This is definitely one of the best DIY mixes I have tried so far!

good call on the sweetener, iv cut it back to 1.5 and happy there, i like sweet liquids, dragonfruit is nice but i think it overpowers a lot of flavours, try kiwi if you have it go at 1% i think youll be surprised at how much it brings the strawberry out

mjag · Sep 2, 2015

Kiwi is definitely going into the wishlist then, which do you recommend, Kiwi - FA or Kiwi (Double)-TFA? I am hoping for a big Labor Day weekend sale here in a couple of days so am going to stock up on a lot.

go for the kiwi double mate, its the best out of the 2

I mixed up the Strawberry Whip earlier in the afternoon. I had to make a couple substitutions on brands, & omitted the sweetener. Vaping it now, many hours steep is all I gave it. This is nice! Thanks for sharing it.

Hi guys I love Strawberry Whip, have we come to a consensus regarding the closest clone?

You might want to try some strawberry sweet (CAP) as main flavour, mixed with a little Cannoli (the only place I find this is Chef's Vapour UK).

Thanks for the suggestion!

Do you have a rough recommended ratio at all?

Thanks again.

Hey man, I tried this cannoli stuff but I'm not too keen on it. It has a slight sicky taste to it. How long would you steep it for normally?

Cheers.
