A good Strawberry

[chopdoc]

I need some help with strawberry flavoring. For the life of me I can not find a decent good strawberry that doesnt vape/taste like a cheap candy. I tried all sorts from capella's to TFA to Inawera to Fa and its always the same story. I mix up a 10 ml batch at %5 to give it a try and it always taste like cheap candy. I dont know if i need to blend it with something to smooth out the candy taste or what. Tonight I tried some Fa Strawberry & Cream and its the same old thing, candyish.
I know it can be done which is why I think I am missing something here. I vaped Mothers Milk, Unicorn Milk, ITC Spoonlicker V2 and they all have an excellent strawberry flavor. Just dont know what I am doing wrong here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are a few things that you can try, the first is a simple one, which is to combine different strawberry flavourings together.

The next step is to enhance certain aspects of the strawberry by using other flavourings to bring it out, such as adding Dragonfruit, Mango, Lemon, Raspberry etc.

There is a third step you could try, which is to introduce flavours that enhance by contrast, such as Basil, Balsamic Vinegar, Black Pepper, Rosemary.
I know you can get at least a couple of these flavourings, but I have to say that personally I have not taken this third step...

Try Ripe Strawberry from TFA, it is the most realistic type of Strawberry I have tried. I usually blend a 2:1 ratio of TFA Ripe Strawberry to Capella Sweet Strawberry. The TFA is a very tart strawberry, which gets balanced by the sweet of Capella. You could also try adding a touch of Citric Acid, which bumps up the tartness of fruit flavors.

I have settled on 4 parts TFA Strawberry Ripe to 1 part FW strawberry to chill it out just a little. Settled for now any way

Oh and throw a little cheese cake and or vanilla custard at it if you want smooth it.

You mentioned you like the strawberry in e.g. unicornmilk... I once saw a youtube review of some moliq eliquids by vapinfagan, or how it's spelled, and I believe he stated that he "nailed" the unicorn milk by blending the strawberry and I belive it was watermelon or something, but in short, maybe try molinberry sweet strawberry flavor from same people...(molinshop or vapers tek).
