3rd place: Flavor Jungle - Ultimate Line in 10ml bottles , right now thats 25 flavors and probably a few more by the time we announce . I do know that 1 other flavor is almost ready to drop. FJ will ship anywhere in USA , Canada and the UK

Thanks out to @fidalgo_vapes for lining up the MF and FJ participation in the contest prizes!

Damn i knew it. Gonna have to fake a recioe since im a mute. I used to make good ones when i could taste strawberry.
First question. Being a mute i cant taste strawberry but there are some flavors non nessecarily name strawberry that give me the closest i can get to strawberry. Is it possible to use them? They are not named strawberry but are not like different fruits. They are supposed to be strawberry. Hard to explain but ill pm you
If you have flavors that taste like strawberry to you, by all means use them, just make note in the description
(Description / notes count in the scoring)
Cool. Iv actually really been wanting to make a amazing strawberry shortcake specifically for strawberry mutes that any mute can taste. Luckily i have the experience with once not being a strawberry mute so i know what to shoot for
So this one is on me, if anyone needs someone to swear at, hehe.
Up here we have festivals for everything but the big one is Strawberry Fest. Every year volunteers in the community go out and picks, cleans and prepares the berries for the festival. For a few days each year the population of our little town triples or more just to have some SB shortcake which almost always sells out on the first day.
Even before we moved here we planned our stay around the event, going back to when i was a wee little shithead. It is a big part of what makes this place special and now we bring this event to all y’all. So if you ever plan a trip to the Keweenaw try and remember the dates!
BTW, diy-ejuice.com and diyflavours.com is the same place, although the flavors don’t mirror. I think they’re likely transitioning over to “flavours” to eliminate the “ejuice” wording (and flavours is US dollars)
Great choice! If i was choosing, this would be in my top3 profiles for a contest.
(not to compete, but to try all those great recipes. ‘The more natural tasting strawberries the better and more convincing the recipe’ i assume which is exactly what i’d wish)
(And / or the other vendors listed in the first post)…
Where the mixers purchased the flavors is no matter as long as we the judges can find them where listed in the contest rules.
About the only thing that will result in immediate disqualification is using invalid flavor names, other criteria will count in the judging, we are giving the mixers 8 weeks to develop and submit recipes with a 2 week waiting period before submissions can begin. Last couple contests we had people submitting new recipes the day after announcement.
I know we are never going to please everyone/ all the time but if everyone follows the same requirements it should be fair for all interested in playing along.
Heehee I’m reading this. I swore off SB a long time ago after I overdosed, as Wendy Vapes once declared. It IS my all time favorite cake to eat, though. Hmm…
kewl beans!
