Strawberry was one of the last flavors I could taste…meaning for the first couple years of vaping I didn’t know what the fuss was all about I couldn’t really taste it. It must be the repairing of my taste buds or the fact that if you make a million and one juices that contain some sort of SB and whatever your bound to eventually hit the nail on the head… so now that I can taste strawberry it is a very big deal as it is my go to flavor… my typical ADV is some sort of a SBs n cream I’ve drummed up. Some recipes are dripping sweet others more creamy than strawberries. Learning what your after and what works best for you and to keep trying. ( Those that are SB Challenged )
I am getting Alpine SB in the mail by this weekend I’ll report back finding when and once steeped.
My take on SBs in our world of vape would go down like this :
Ripe SB- A bold fresh non sweet SB that is crisp non creamy, good for body and can come off as acidic.
Red Touch FA- Similar to Ripe SB in that it’s crisp non sweet , non creamy and good for body but doesn’t come off nearly as acidic but has an underlying orange note in the background to me.
Juicy Strawberry FA- Sweet candy like strawberry that has a small portion of a ripe SB within it but overall using it around 1-3% in a mix will bear a candy taffy like SB. Used under 1% has given the juice a sweeter SB note not necessarily candy.
Strawberry Shisha INW- Sweet , Jammy SB with a seedy like essence can be used to boost non sweet SBs to make more realistic especially in the 1-3% range. I have used this as the only SB in a mix at 6% and it was fine did not go chemical.
Strawberry FLV- Candy sweet SB that resembles Starburst , on the creamy side. I like to keep it lower as it has a way of becoming overwhelming.
Strawberry Filling FLV- Sweet SB with a light bakery note in the background has a candy like note but not nearly as sweet as the original SB.
Strawberry cream FLV- Bright notes of Berries seems like a cross of raspberries and strawberries with a soft clean cream that is unsweetened.
Sweet Strawberry Caps- Traditionally Sweet Sb that works well with SB Ripe giving a nice balance of real and sweet.
Sweet Strawberry JF- At first taste I thought it was a knock off of Caps but wooah I was wrong this is uber jammy sweet with a light creaminess to it.
Strawberry RF SC- Sweet strawberries with a light note of crisp strawberry under note.
Strawberry RF VG- Sweet strawberry that has more of an acidic take to it that isn’t as sweet as the SC.
Strawberries and cream TPA- Cream forward buttercream with a back note of lightly crisp semi sweet strawberries.
Strawberries and cream Cap- Strawberries that are more chemical has a nicer cream than TPA it is more clean cream and the overall base of this flavor has a chemical take hence it’s unpopular status to me it has a bakery note far off in the background this is probably the AC and AP shining thru.
Strawberry FW- juicy sweet strawberry with a bright berry note.
Strawberry MF- Bright Strawberry note ,semi sweet , very good for body.
Fresh strawberries WF- chemical note strawberries were not sweet more ripe.
Strawberry Ripe OoO- reminds me of TPA’s version.
but i got a pretty good lock on the ones i have!
