If you are using max vg and your nic is also vg then your most likely not using enough flavoring if 3% is all your putting in the recipe, I'm not sure if that is what you meant prob not.
I mix the same way Max vg w/ vg nic I target my overall flavoring usage to be in the 10-15% range doesn't mean it has to be but some flavors need more help so you have to use other flavors to build them up.
Sweet Sb by Capella I am wondering if this is the one your referring to as Satan's ***hole
it needs to be in the 3-5% range and isn't strong enough to be used as a standalone ( by itself in a mix) It requires more help use something with it like SB ripe by TFA at 2-4% then you'll most likely want an additional flavor in there to support those two so try adding something like a cream like Capella's sweet cream at 2%
sweet sb cap's 4.00
SB ripe TFA 3.00
sweet cream cap 2.00
now we have 9% flavoring in the mix chances are at a max vg blend this will be decent but not over the top sweet and vibrant you may look to enhance the berries so you may then decide hmm lets try an additional berry at a lower % to fluff those strawberries up so add a raspberry or a blueberry at 1-2% your starting to see I hope that not all flavors are created equally so a standard 3% rule across the board will not suffice they have to be used in their own suggested ratio range.

this ^ is easily one of the most used flavors it has a very broad range of availability to use, the link takes you back to the calculator where the recommended usage is saying it is commonly used in the 5-5.7 range that does not mean it has to but it is common.
Hope this is coming across as helpful.
