Rupert, I don’t have any Sweet strawberry but would like to try this.
Strawberry FW
Ripe Straberry TPA
And Strawbeery TPA is what I have on hand. Would any of these work as a sub and if so what percentages would you change?

Hi @TheTinMan1 
I would sub it for TFA Ripe. It wont be exactly the same, but still close enough.
The strawberry isn’t a prominent flavour in this mix, but helps as a ‘backbone’ of sorts to add a sweetness and more depth to the apple
@iliketohideincloset awesome please let me know your thoughts.

I just mixed it up and gave it a good shake. So far I really like it. The cactus seems a bit dominant to me…

Thanks @iliketohideincloset At 1% the cactus is a forward flavour, but that was part of the intent of the recipe
Stones? I’m not familiar with that term… I gave up on flavors for almost a year and just vaped strait base lol saved a bunch of money but was missing out on a ton of stuff… now I’m back into the swing of things, got my scale some empty bottles and still have quite a few old flavors from when I gave up plus a few mews I recently purchased… baby steps this time doing a bunch of single flavor batches to get the taste of everything and try to take notes

So where can I get some of this Cactus flavor from? I have placed my last three orders with OSDIY but they don’t have that flavor lol

Inawera Cactus is the most popular and a stone or flavor base is where you mix multiple flavea to create one , this allows you to maximize the amount of flaves in a recipe while keeping percentage low usually made with creams /custard flaves

I am not in the US< but I do know that GremlinDIY and BullCity both stock it

Thank you I appreciate your feedback.
A good one Rupert.I substituted TFA dragon fruit for the inawara and still a good shake and vape.I will let it sit for a week and I bet it will be outstanding.

So after 10 days steep, here are my thoughts.
Winner, winner Chicken Dinner. This stuff is very good. Do I sound surprised? Well I am. Here’s why.
INW Dragon Fruit. I’ve not liked it with my limited experience. I love both TPA and CAP versions, and therefor that’s what I base my judgment on. So no, I’m not a INW DF fan. Surprise #1
Next, Fuji. It’s a good flavor but one I find often has a background note that is too musky, or dry, or whatever word accurately describes the off taste I get many times with it. Not here. That’s surprise #2.
Finally, I was kind of expecting the cactus to dominate. It really doesn’t. In most other fruit mixes 1% Cactus would overpower the mix. So surprise #3.
Very nice job here Rupert. Proud of ya man! And thanks for the share.

@Rupert or anyone else who has made this recipe… So I have wanted to try this one out ever since you posted it I even bookmarked it… Did a couple of flavor orders last week and made sure I had Cactus lol… I forgot the Dragon Fruit!!! do you mind checking my stash out and seeing if anything I have might be a suitable replacement?? Today is mixing day!!

Jayrell mine is but one man’s opinion, but I think the INW Dragon Fruit is essential to the mix if you want to replicate it. Others have used TPA and said they like the mix, but I promise you they aren’t tasting Rupert’s recipe in the slightest. INW DF is unique. I honestly don’t like it much and this recipe is the only one I’ve had where it doesn’t make me gag 
If you want Rupert’s genuine recipe you’ll need to pick up the INW flavor.
EDIT To actually answer your question, personally I don’t see anything in your stash that would make a good sub. I think you could try the Pomegranate but it won’t be the same at all.
Now here’s my opinion - I think CAP Dragonfruit is probably the closest you’d find to INW. But I absolutely LOVE CAPs version and will be making a variation of this recipe using it at some point. I think it would be wonderful.
One other suggestion. If you do get the INW DF so you can make this, try getting a small bottle. I don’t think it’s a flavor that will see much playtime in your mixing. Again, just my opinion.
Well alrighty then.

I kind of figured that would be the answer I really do appreciate your input! I will have to hold off on trying this one a bit longer grrr but I will get around to it after my next order… if the wife doesn’t kill me first lol I just spent 150 on flavors lol
