Does FA Strawberry get stronger while it steeps or is it what it is?

I made some DIY and was wondering if FA strawberry increases in flavor intensity like FA raspberry while it steeps or ages or is it what it is when you make it?

This doesn't really answer your question, but FA Strawberry flavoring settles into layers really quickly; they're all clear, so you can't really see them. But you gotta shake that one right before you measure it out, or you'll get mostly PG with little flavor.

Agreed! I've made too many strawberry flavors where I didn't shake the bottle enough first, and the resulting mix was tasteless!

No, those are good. I also noticed this is pretty good with only 2%. A little surprised. Definitely better and sweeter the second day. Now to find something for my apricot.

I generally like to heat my flavors up in a hot bath for 3 mins and toss it in the ultrasonic for 8 mins for 3 cycles with warm water.

I do heat mine but I don't have the cleaner. I also have plastic bottles and did not think you could do plastic bottles in the cleaner.

As long as it's not hot, you will be find. I found nothing wrong with using plastic bottles in the UC. It does a great job of shaking the shit out of the liquid if the base is above 100f.

Another option is to grab a milk frother on eBay for $7. It too does a fantastic job mixing the fluids together. I've found that VG really does need heat to play nice in the mixing game.

Btw, the only reason I began using the ultrasonic, was to piss my wife off one night. I caught her using one of my tools in the backyard and she didn't put it back. Personally, the milk frother works better, faster and cheaper.

Yeah it does get stronger as it steeps for at least 4 days, if you try to vape it right after mixing, it will often taste like nothing.

Always shake up your flavors, before you add them to the mix, makes a big difference.
