So I'm trying to get almost like a sugar coated strawberry and cream taste, like a real sweet feel. I blended this and ultrasonic steeped it for the equivalent of about a week and a half, and I honestly get a slight hint of strawberry and that's about it. Any input or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Strawberry and cream help?

IMO, Inawera's Strawberry Kiss, and Shisha, are excellent Strawberry flavors, I had best results with. However, they need at least 1 week steeping.
Maybe I'll have to try that. I'd even be happy with anything that's real flavorful and tasty. Nothing I've made so far came close to a "premium" ejuice.. lol
I just made on of these recently. What I use is the actual Straw and cream flavor and then add ice cream. It taste so good.

Dropping the Custard in your recipe may help bring out more Strawberry.
And I also prefer INW Shisha Strawberry and it's more potent too.
I agree, regarding the custard. I'd drop it down to 2-3%.
Me, I'd even reduce the VBIC. I find that one a strong one, though.
I don't have the actual flavor but do you think there'd be a way to duplicate it? I have tons of strawberries and tons of creams buy no strawberries and cream. Haha
Maybe I'll try that, would it be better to use FA custard as well?
Not sure because I'm fairly new to diying. But it does taste great and I do not know if you can duplicate it. Its really creamy and subtle.
I honestly can't taste the ice cream yet, maybe a little more steeping over maybe it's overpowering to the extent of muting flavors.
I might just order some strawberries and cream then. I think my biggest issue is I'm impatient as all hell. I got like 4 to 5 hours in the cleaner and was dumping it in my tank before it even cooled down. lol
Not needed IMO, I'd just eliminate the Custard completely.
If you're not looking for a Strawberry Custard that is.
And if going in that direction I'd drop both the VBIC and Sweet Cream.
Strawberries & Cream should be a primarily Strawberry/ies and Cream/s mixture.
Strawberry Ice Creams should be Strawberry/ies + VBIC + (optional)Cream.
I like:
2% INW Strawberry (or try your Strawberry combo with this)
4% VBIC (either CAP or TFA)
2% Dairy Milk (1-2% Sweet Cream, or Bavarian Cream may work too)
1% INW Biscuit (2% FA Cookie or 2% CAP Sugar Cookie V1 are other possible subs)
1% FA Marshmallow (optional)
Its more like a Strawberry Ice Cream with a hint of waffle cone.
I tried CAP Strawberries & Cream and threw it out cause it tasted like chemicals.
You can get much better results making your own Strawberries & Cream IMO.
The mix I posted above only needs 24hrs if using TFA VBIC, CAP tastes a bit better in a week but it's not really "bad" if trying it sooner.
Only Creams I've needed to steep are the Bavarian types and usually only if used above 2-3%.
Some ppl like certain Custard recipes without any steeping.
But again it depends much on the amount used; 1-3% don't need much, if any, steeping; well 24hrs is usually fine IMO.
Depends a lot on your taste buds.
I can't taste the VBIC much until it's at 4-5%, which is not high enough to mute flavors.
Sweeteners & EM can mute sometimes especially if used too high.

Yeah I've noticed that sweetener can mute other flavors easily. I usually keep it at 1 to 2%. I'm going to try your version too thank you!
Like others mentioned INW Shisha Strawberry is like a fresh strawberry with a sugary glaze on top. That is the strawberry to go with. I also like Real Flavors Strawberry in the super concentrate but to get it sugary sweet add some marshmallow and yum.
FA, TPA and CAP strawberries are weak in comparison to the INW Shisha and Real Flavors Strawberry and there tastier too.

I tried:
4% TFA DX Bavarian Cream
3% TFA Vanilla Swirl
0.5% INW Shisha Strawberry
2% TFA Strawberry Ripe
1% TFA Strawberry
I let it steep two or three days. I noticed on temp control it is very sweet, like sugar, at 500 degrees on a Merlin with a Clapton coil. I like that very much. It is less sweet at lower temps. I did not try it non tc.
