@Pro_Vapes had important advice. The peppery thing is similar to the butyric acid complaint. If your tasting an adverse flavor you likely just using too much. Lower your VBIC% and boost the creaminess with supporting creams.
New mixers always make the mistake of thinking the names on the bottle produce that flavor all by themselves, so Strawberry Milkshake is just VBIC and strawberry which never turns out. Pairing and layering comes from experience and listening …the path to primo ADVs. DIY is not hard but it’s not also something you can just understand without being open to some critique. That kind of openness is what has build this place …not always pretty
What you are saying now is basically if someone new or familiar with mixing feel a peppery note from oh lets say VBIC they are doing it wrong??
Why is it so hard to accept that some people can’t for the life of it use VBIC because of that peppery note and still be doing everything right.
Instead of beginning to talk about doing mistakes, using too much and whatnot, why not give new mixers the advice to buy a small bottle and try it out. That advice was given by @fidalgo_vapes already and so far in this thread it is the best one given.
I’m trying to bow out peacefully, but some of you won’t let me. I’m not going to leave @BoDarc hanging here.
I appreciate you stepping in realizing this ain’t about ego, but from experience that I tried to offer some alternative advice.
As you’ve have seen if you followed this thread, no one has spoke against just trying it. I notice you as part of the like-a-lot crew that just feel a need to educate knowledgeable experienced mixers that’s been down that road you and some of the others are now traveling.
You’re not offering anything beyond what has already been stated. When you have something knowledgeable to share, then share it before coming in backing up your crew.
A lot of forum threads tend to morph into other topics. That’s nothing new. Shit gets off-topic all the time…then back on… and so forth. The Reddit vaping subs are notorious for that.
Steering back to the topic tho…the strawberry milkshake thing is just something that the OP will have to figure out. Best advice I can give is do your research and homework. And that would mean testing flavors like TPA’s VBIC along with different strawberries to see of it works for you. Don’t go on what you read until you personally confirm it. I’ve never gotten the peppery taste so I use it quite a bit. I feel bad for those who taste pepper cuz it’s a great flavor.
Conversely I belong to a minority group that has trouble tasting strawberry. I’m constantly amazed to see the hundreds of Suicide Bunny or Beantown derivitives with only 2-3% strawb. And people RAVE about the awesome strawberry flavor!
That being said…@videogamingtown, you got some homework to do.
i appreciate your advice and respect it , i didn’t mean to make you feel i thought you were being controversial , i just thought getting both sides of the issue would be nice , one who gets the pepper vs one who doesnt …
TBH it wasn’t you. You’re inquisitive and offer good points from experience, but there’s an element here that wasn’t before that tend to make it hard to stay around. Some of my favorite people doesn’t even bother here anymore.
this statement may work for some but not in all cases , ive tried every way that one can imagine to get the pepper taste to not exist , breathing , steeping , heating , less , more , the BA issue and pepper issue are two different things and its a fact that for some no matter what you do the taste will remain some can get past it and vape it anyway i cant that doesnt mean i feel someone shouldnt try it …
Ehh…you speak your mind…same as me. Can’t please all the people all the time!
I dont post up here much but sometimes you get to break the popcorn out! Stick around.
I’m one of the ones who can’t use TFA’s VBIC at any percentage sadly (there’s pepper regardless, same for wizard labs Nic), so I sympathize with your trouble tasting Strawberry.
In either case, thank God there’s multiple vendors to choose from!
Oh yer that’s right you do exactly that every time someone mentions Real Flavors Strawberry. Personally I have had good success with it as have many others.
So have I… from 2 to 6 weeks, but nothing beyond that.
I’ll send some SB Milkshake and SB Cream Pie so you can judge for yourself… BTW both versions… RF and my SB base. Save em up for a couple months and let me know what you think.
I notice you and most of your clique are steady throwing blows on the forum, but you don’t offer anything on the recipe side. Show me some tried and true mixes or STFU!
I have a 500 ml bottle of SB Cream Pie made on the 1st May and it is still strong and very nice I might add. I have previously posted I made a couple of changes to it as some of the flavours you used are not available here (without excessive cost) and I posted the recipe to you which you ignored.
I have many other recipes that are older than 6 weeks and they are all still fine as well. I am just pointing out to you that the statement made by others you are criticising is exactly the same as statements made by yourself.
How long until you delete that like you do every other post.
You need to restrain yourself sometime it will save you having to delete posts.
Brah! these are my last post on Reddit… oops ELR. Y’all can have it. This place is in reverse.[quote=“woftam, post:67, topic:144942”]

So your cp worked… I’m happy for you. Care to share since you’re a no show on recipe side?
I didnt post it as it was an adaptation of your recipe - i will find it is the thread for you if you would like or i can make it public now which ever is easier
