I am trying for that fresh picked strawberry flavor to go with my yogurt base. I have the candied nailed for the "gogurt" flavor but i cant get the fresh strawberry that I am looking for. I just can't nail it. I am looking for a little bit of help. I have just about every strawberry know just cant seem to get the percentages nailed down. So thanks in advance.

I wish I could offer some real assistance, but I'm just now starting to get into fruits. I have a pretty decent handle on lemon and lime, but just getting into strawberry, and banana flavors here. I do have INW Shisha strawberry after reading so many posts about how good it is, but haven't mixed anything with it yet. I'll try making something this weekend.

strawberry is frustrating lol. Ill throw my two cents and bump it up the list for ya at least. I have a different strawberry for everything. I still think FA is the realest but its so light you have to work around it then it just gets muted. Ive been using the super concentrates a lot for strawberry and try to mix it in a little with the FA . just a little. like tiny tiny . the FA is also kinda green fresh if that makes sense so the SC sweetens it up a bit. .... wish i could just make a juicy red fresh strawberry dipped in sugar lol... i could vape that forever

Out of all the strawberry flavors I've tried TFA Strawberry Ripe tastes the most authentic to me. Cap Sweet Strawberry is probably the least, imo. It's good but it's more of a strawberry candy/strawberry nesquik. FA Strawberry, TFA Strawberry, and INW Shisha are somewhere in between, out of those three I'd probably take FA as being the most authentic however.

I've had fa, tfa, cap, inw and hangsen strawberry. Hangsen strawberry is def my fav. Tfa ripe has a candy sour tone to it. Cap is super sweet and inw shisha strawberry is better but still sweet. Fa strawberry is realistic but super weak and hard to work with and it's almost to realistic. Hangsen tastes like strawberry juice a lit sweeter than reg strawberry but not to much. It's good for a standalone at around 3%.

My vote is for INW Shisha Strawberry.

You can also mix several different ones together, if you haven't tried that yet anyway.

I mix TFA Strawberry Ripe and CAP Sweet Strawberry together, using more TFA than CAP.
(Ex: 3% TFA 2% CAP... etc)
I've tried 7+ different strawberries and that's my favorite. Some people mix TFA and FA together in the same method.

I do the same thing. 3%TFA Ripe to 1% Cap Sweet. That's what I like strawberry to taste like vaping it.

Try 3% FA strawberry and 2% shisha strawberry. Like others have said, FA is the realistic flavor but kinda bland by itself. The shisha picks it up it that aspect.

I was the opposite of you. I found this to be a very authentic real strawberry vape but it's not what I was looking for. I wanted a candy strawberry vape. Still searching for that one. My pallet can't pick up most of them.

Unfortunately that's the cut off. If you go to 5.1, you'll start shaking, get a cavity and sprint to the dentist. You'll pass a few closer dentist offices on the way just because you can't stop running.

Many people will have you believe that 5% is the same whether you use a syringe or a scale, but they are wrong. You either end up above 5% or below it. This is due to gravity. You see when using a syringe, you have to go against the force of gravity which will net you with less. Using a scale you're going in the same direction as gravity so it will pull larger drops from the bottle. Your scale can't account for either so even though it says the correct weight, you'll actually have more than you wanted. This is why I mix in a vacuum floating upside down. Perfect percentages every time.

9 out of 10 dentists recommend < 25% sweetener for their patients who use sweetener. :xD:

What was the name of that big name juice whose recipe got leaked
and it turned out to be mostly sweetener? ....mebbe 2-3 years ago?

I remember some cloners had been trying and failing to copy it
and when the real recipe leaked, they were all stunned by the sweetener percentage.

I have found 1.5% INW Shisha Strawberry with 0.5% TFA Strawberry is real good. That has become my new standard. Amounts are adjusted based on the complexity of the other flavors but for recipes with only a few ingredients, this is it.

If I do adjust up I normally just increase Shisha and leave tfa the same or maybe 0.75 at most.

only one that comes to mind I remember that big anyways was mother milk but I cant remember if it was real or not. I remember all the crazy clones for that one that were way off, it was like 4 flavors. Ive come pretty close a few times

edit...ended with half a thought lol ....came close a few times but no cigar

10% forest fruit FA
15% sweetener TFA
