Strawberry stacking

Hello everyone, im trying to come up with a super strawberry flavor and I own just about every strawberry flavoring available. some of the typical flavorings ie tfa ripe, capella, fa and such just dont stand out enough and some lose flavor after a while. I am trying to make a real strawberry flavor, and have found fe, vz gourmet and nicvape strawberry all to be rather good, just cant figure out a way to layer them together, any ideas far as combo's and percentages? Thanks

Are they getting lost in a cream mix? I have heard of people using a small percentage (0.25% or 0.5%) of raspberry, kiwi or dragonfruit to make the strawberry pop in there strawberries and cream mixes. I tried the dragonfruit in my S&C at 0.5% and it did make the SB pop out more but a little to much DF so when I try it again it will be at 0.25% for the DF. I got some kiwi and raspberry in as well to try that out.

If your trying to get that sweet strawberry you get from store brought brands I am pretty sure they use a decent amount of sweetener. I recently tried a bottle of a strawberry/watermelon store bought brand and the fruits really stand out but it was really sweet as well, for sure it probably had about 2% or more sweetener in there.

im mixing it with just strawberry, no creams or anything else at the moment. It doesnt taste bad, just trying to get opinions on how to tweak it to perfection, maybe the sweetner thing is what its missing, Ive always stayed away from sweetners because so many people saying it mutes flavors, hmmm

I am trying to get a good Strawberry Waffles with whipped cream and tried this recipe: http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/133490/Strawberry+Waffles+with+Whipped+Cream

Used FW waffles as that is what I had but I am getting a lot of waffles but hardly any strawberry at all.

I then tried my own recipe:

French Vanilla (TFA) 2.00%
Whipped Cream (TFA) 6.00%
Sweetener (TFA) 1.50%
Waffle (Capella) 5.00%
Strawberry Ripe (TFA) 3.00%
Strawberry Sweet (Capella) 3.00%
Dragonfruit (TFA) 0.25%

Had to use both TFA and Cap strawberry as I ran out of just Cap. Not getting much waffle this time but the strawberry is there now, will add more waffle and cut back on the sweetener to 1% in the next run of it.

The sweetener does help the strawberry though better than EM in my experience. I feel like TFA Ripe SB is a more true flavor than Caps sweet SB but the later does seam to stand out a little more. maybe a 2 parts Ripe to 1 part Cap with 1% sweetener to make it pop. I think I will give that a shot soon and see how it comes out.

Try FA strawberry and CAP sweet strawberry together...you might like that..Maybe 2 %FA and 1% CAP.

.TFA i know requires a bit more percentage in a mix but to me with over 20% flavoring you have in your mix im not sure is the best thing for flavor....I would try lowering the percents on everything to maybe 10 percent total and go up or down from there.

Sometimes the proper mix doesnt always mean it tastes good right off the bat and needs some time to steep.
