Agreed getting especially the cake part to get through is a tough one… i was kidding regarding the SB theme as in its sooo overused but ppl love it (guess the fact that im kinda muted to SB plays a small part hahah) lets see if i can come up with something interesting

I agree, especially since I wouldn’t really know what to aim for, it’s not really common here. Plus SB is harder to balance into a bakery compared to other berries.
3 layers, so easy to go overboard and add too many flavours, then balancing will become even harder.

first mix I already have something delish I can vape all day no problem. I haven’t eaten strawberry shortcake in a long time but this is very close to how I remember it. Just gotta fine tune that cool whip kinda cream or figure out a way to take it to the next level. Good luck everyone, excited to see what people come up with.

Yeah it is, up here in Chassell, in the UP, we will be out picking this week for the festival. I cant wait!
My mother in law has already made 28 jars of SB jam. Next up, blueberry season, we have both a blueberry farm and a SB farm right down the road.

Wow. All these years everyone has always said strawberry ripe has em in it but im looking at the tpa flavors with em and your right its not on the list. The regular tpa strawberry is the one with em in it

Strawberries and Cream and SB Lemonade do too. I looked this up for someone awhile back and remember those two as well.
It would be so awesome if every company put out these lists.

Yea i saw those on the list. Im confused on why tpa doesnt list maltol or ethyl maltol on the datasheets but if you search by flavors with their cas number all the flavors that contain it come up. Im guessing they dont have to list maltol or em on the sheet or maybe if its less then 1 percent. Apparently most of their flavors have maltol or em in them

Ya it has “maltol” but not ethyl maltol…also has ethyl acetate and i think people over the years took the Ethyl and Maltol then put them together lol
Maltol is still a flavor enhancer i think the difference is Maltol is natural from cocoa and Ethyl Maltol is a synthetic lab created compound

Yea maltol is a lot weaker then ethyl maltol so there shoudnt be any type of muting concern with just maltol. I wish i knew what other strawberry flavors have ethyl maltol though. I like to use EM in my mixes but usually only when im using flavors i kniw can support it without muting
Your gonna think this is funny but i was sft jf ultimate sweet strawberry and guess what i taste in another ultimate. EM. I dont know if there really is EM or not but for some reason i taste EM in almost every ultimate i try.
Another one i can easily taste the ethyl maltol on is fa juicy strawberry. As far as any others i dont taste EM so id have to tell by a datasheet

My cousin and i spent part of the day out in a field picking berries today for the festival. There were around 20 of us in the one field, it was so much fun and not a single tick found afterwards!
Sadly he leaves before the festival kicks off, i told him ill eat enough for the both of us!
