Hi everyone,
NEW DIYer here and looking for a little bit of advice on expectations versus reality when it comes to Ejuice. So to without going on to much of a tangent, I will explain my first mixing experience.
So the vape juice that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE and pretty much transitioned me from cigarettes to vaping was S+C2 by vape wild (strawberrys and cream). Now, I've vaped for 2 years and can say I have tried alot of strawberry juices but always found S+C2 my fave and still is. So, I decided to try and clone it.
I actually found a recipe that somebody had made and swore that it was exactly the same. So I copied it. I substituted one of the ingredients as I didn't have it. It was actually French vanilla instead of sweet cream. Anyways, I completed a small batch and it looks like this.
Nicotine 0mg
30pg/70pg
7% strawberry sweet (Cap)
1% strawberry ripe (TFA)
1% French Vanilla
.25% Ethyl Maltol
1.50% Bavarian cream
1% cream
1.50% Graham cracker clear.
Gave it a good shake, warm bath steeped 3 times and shook some more.
When i vaped it I thought wow! It is very similar. Cant complain! But as half an hour past by vaping it, there's a problem. The strawberry is very muted. Infact, it's hardly noticeable. I'm not sure whether it is actually there and is blended behind the rest of the ingredients and I don't notice it as strongly due to the cream like content or it is just seriously muted. The strawberry is actually at 8% while the rest of the ingredients make up for 6.2%.
While this recipe is actually going in the right direction in terms of accuracy I am worried about how I am going to bring out that strawberry sweet kick that it lacks. As said, I'm very happy with the way the cream part has turned out but very confused as to the strawberry portion
Overall it's a smooth creamy, almost McDonald's vannila milkshake like vape with a A TINY hint of strawberry lingering when you try hard to detect it.
So my question is....How do I bring out that strawberry to really become the dominant note? Would steeping correct this? Would you knock up the % of the strawberry or try a different strawberry completely? Is there any other flavours I can add to highlight the strawberry? Should I add more sweetener?
Thanks for taking the time to read this guys. I really am.a novice when it comes to mixing so any help would be appreciated.
