holy crap , man I tried it at 6 % and it gave me a headache lol. ..... wonder if I should try it to ? not sure I can do the 5% sweetener but I guess in the name of science right ? 
My first vapes ever were FA Watermelon and Strawberry. Then, I tried Shisha Strawberry, and wow!
Try FA and Shisha Strawberry blended with FA Watermelon, and it really is good (for fruity blends that is)
get the hell outahere lol

My new favorite Strawberry vape:
3% - Sweet Strawberry - Capella
3% - Strawberry - Flavorart
1% - Biscuit - INW
2% - Fresh Cream - Flavorart
1% - Vienna Cream - Flavorart
1.5% - Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - Capella
35/65 @ 1.4 mg/ml
Or use FA Cookie instead of INW Biscuit
IN some respects, Cookie is better
3% - Sweet Strawberry - Capella
3% - Strawberry - Flavorart
1% - Biscuit - INW
2% - Fresh Cream - Flavorart
1% - Vienna Cream - Flavorart

I thought you were joking. I guess we all have different taste buds

After 39 yrs of smoking, mine were damn near dead, and didn't even start recovering until I'd been smoke-free almost 2 yrs. Just hit 3 yrs smoke-free yesterday, and still have a long way to go to get back normal tasting, if I EVER get it back.
Andria
Got it. I've tried a few of your recipes, but had to seriously lower some of the flavors. Mainly fruits.
PS. You don't have too bad of ppl skills

I appreciate that.
I keep lowering the flavoring of my strawberry & cream, as my tastebuds gradually recover, but it's a very slow process. Finally got it down to just a smidge over 25%; it's REALLY odd how much sweetener I needed at first, and that sweetener has been reduced most quickly and drastically.
Since my son has recently started vaping (he's 3 wks smoke-free today!), I've also started working on reducing the flavoring of my other two "best" recipes, Smocha and Cherry-Vanilla Pipe Tobacco -- he smoked for only a few years, quit for about 5 yrs, started back but only smoked for about 6 months before he agreed that he really needed to try vaping instead; obviously his tastebuds aren't nearly as impaired as my own, so he and I are working together to get those recipes' flavoring levels reduced.
I'm starting to try out a lot more FA flavors, which need far less flavoring to taste good, so hopefully by using FA, and with my gradually recovering tastebuds, I can start building some recipes with saner levels of flavoring.
It helps a lot that I do have my ADV strawberry & cream, so I can be a lot more patient with the steeping that lower percentages seems to require.Andria
Mixed up another but moved them down to 13% and 4%. A little easier on the taste buds and might lower it again but I've been enjoying this.
Going to try the same with other strawberries.

I'm totally with you; if you can't taste something at very low percentages, the only thing to try is higher percentages. With some flavors, it doesn't work at all (TFA's blueberry extra disappears over 8%), but with some, it works just fine -- that's how I got started with shisha strawberry, using 16% of it at first.
Andria
Yeah, it really is.. and if you ever overdo flv, you can tell by the amount of steep time, or how it mutates, or chem trails or fades in a few weeks..
Best deal is I have yet to get bored with it, even after years of playing around with everything they have
Thanks @gopher_byrd I appreciate it!
Oooooooo, here's a good one. Steeps in a day or so. My new ADV too:
5% - Strawberry - Flavorart
2% - Sweet Strawberry - Capella
2.5% - Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - Capella
.5% - Meringue - Flavorart
.5% - Marshmallow - Flavorart
1.5% - Graham Cracker V2 - Capella
2% - Cookie - Flavorart
1% - Fig - Flavorart
1.5 mg/ml nic
40/60 or 30/70 (what I use) or max if you will.
Can really taste the Cookie, and strong realistic Strawberry. All is free of diacetyl, acetyl propionyl and acetoin (to my knowledge, or has very little if any)
The Fig and Marshmallow aids in sweetening the Strawberry, and Meringue seems to bring it all together better than without. I've considered boosting the Marshmallow, but why mess with what seems to be perfect.

nice touch with the fig. forgot about that flavor I always liked it
If I have time, I'll mix that up tomorrow. I'll have to leave out the fig. I'll try it as is first and if I can't taste the strawberry, I'll try adding sweetener. I like that it doesn't have custard or cheesecake in it.

you got to try you some fig someday. I used it in Mama Js Choco Pow Pow. awesome secret ingredient lol
Goes great with any fruit really. Really sweet too
Thanks!
It has Cookie tho lol.
I was really surprised how well the Cookie stood out. Normally it's a side note for me

Same here. I like it so much I got a back up bottle then some how I forgot all about it. I need to look through my recipes and take a trip to Fig Town.
lol that's alright. I haven't had a cookie recipe in awhile now. I'm just tired of strawberry + cheesecake/custard. It's by far the most unoriginal, most sought after recipe.

I know what you mean tho. I like trying custard and cheesecake with something new and with different flaves, making a really obscure and off the wall vape that makes people say "man, what is in that, it's so good!". But I seem to have run into somewhat of a roadblock. You see I've tried virtually all of the cheesecake flavorings, but I simply can not find one that is super cheesy. Not even from BCV (who seems to be the one stop shop). I've read many many reviews, and TFA New York Cheesecake is supposedly known to be the cheesiest of all. But I just don't get that out of it. I taste everything but the cheesy part of the flavoring. I'm not sure if I ruined my taste buds, or if I simply have gotten old NY Cheesecake flavoring from BCV (and I doubt that because they are a really popular vendor)
So I am on the hunt for a cheesy cheesecake flavor to perfect my Mother's Unicorn Milk. Because I thought I had it nailed to perfection (and it is very good), but when I tried a local shop's Unicorn Milk, it had the cheese I was looking for, but way too much and was over powering. So I blended in some of my mix (like 75% of mine, and 25% of theirs), and it was the most amazing vape I've tasted. It'd be nice to find a good recommendation from VU for sure

It's rare to get a really sought-after, elusive flavor from just one flavoring; it's usually better to compound several in a recipe (the way a lot of y'all are doing with strawberry, and as I usually do with blueberry). I haven't tried the NY Cheesecake, I think it has diketones, but to me, their Cheesecake Graham is, at first, nothing but acetyl pyrazine ("scent of fritos")... though it calms down if you steep it a couple weeks. But lately I've started using that one together with LorAnn's Cream Cheese Icing... and it comes pretty damn close.
Andria
You could try using tfa dairy milk if you haven't yet. Maybe a mixture of NY cheesecake, dairy milk and cream cheese icing.
Idk what kind of cheese flavoring you're after, but tfa Greek yogurt gets pretty putrid and high percentages. Could be like spoiled milk (cheese) lol

That's very weird you said that Andrea, because I just ordered yesterday the cream cheese icing from LorAnn! Haha! The reason why I bought it is because I wanted to try that with some cheesecake flavorings. Very interesting you said that.
And about the cheesecake flavorings. To me, the foremost note I taste is the acetyl pyrazine too. Some of them are a little smoother than others like Flavorah. That one has all around a pretty good taste, if I can get it a little cheesier I'm in business
That's actually some pretty good thinking, that might actually work. I'm going to try that because I do have the yogurt. I also have condensed milk from FA. Talk about a putrid flavoring, that is got to be the most awful flavoring in all of vaping flavorings! But one drop for 20 ml? That might actually work. Trying now......You could try using tfa dairy milk if you haven't yet. Maybe a mixture of NY cheesecake, dairy milk and cream cheese icing.

I seem to be extremely sensitive to that AP smell, but I've found that it does calm down quite a bit with a couple weeks' steep.
Andria
I am now too. I used to love HIC's Peanut Butter, but now, I can't stand it. even after a few days, or weeks of steeping, I just don't like it anymore. Only a few recipes can I handle it in low percentages, and it has to blend in with everything else well to where I can't detect it. That's why some of these cheesecakes just bother me. They use it so everything melds together, by I spot it easy
Just the one time u got me to buy FE lemon. It's been awhile. I'll have to try again

The best!
In a watermelon strawberry I add 1 or 2 (if I want to go bold) drops of Lime Tahiti cold pressed to brighten too. Both are equally as fun to use.
I have also added 1 drop of INW Dragonfruit for strawberry to add even more fun!
