    I can’t stand that faded strawberry flavour that sometimes happens in a mix,it literally makes me feel sick to my stomach,I am not a lover of fruit flavours full stop but strawberry really disagrees with me. I bought a commercial juice called “I Love Cookies Too” by Madhatter and I found it unvapable,it was the worst thing I have tried with that faded strawberry flavour in the background yet I liked Mother’s Milk and Cookies,probably because I couldn’t taste any strawberry. I find it frustrating sometimes when I see new recipes posted and find the vast majority seems to have strawberry in it lol.

    There are some strawberry flavors that hold up longer. The nice thing about diy is you can mix small for those faders. I mix some of my favorites a few mls at a time.
    I agree with you,I have heard some people add it towards the end of the steeping time but I think it’s just a flavour that I don’t like in my ejuice. I am thinking about finding a good raspberry flavour and using that as a replacement in recipes that I want to try. I am looking for a nice sweet raspberry without the candy flavour.

    I'm looking for a natural tasting raspberry too. I've heard good things about Nature's Flavors: Raspberry Flavor Extract Without Diacetyl. But they are definitely more expensive.

    There are only 2 flavors i can definitely say run away from haha.The first is Tfa M type,a few people like it,but most i have seen can't stand it.I tried it early on and it was horrid.
    The other is Real flavors Souffle,this may well be the absolute worst flavor i have ever tried.I had to throw a squonk bottle away after trying that flavor because no matter how good i washed the bottle,everything had the same nasty aftertaste of souffle.

    TFA Mary Jane- just putrid!
    I purchased a flavor called Mary Jane once. It was supposed to remind people of a particular non-tobacco plant used for smoking recreationally, and I was curious. It was worse than putrid. I had to throw the tank away it was so horrible.

    Yeah, much like Pavlov's dogs enjoyed the bell coupled to food after much training, I'd think "Mary Jane" as a flavoring might be a bit VILE without the ongoing effects. I know there are persons that go around talking about pungency and various types of tastes, but frankly that stuff all TASTES VILE to me, even IF it's changing my consciousness. LOL.

    I once "decided" that I was smoking not for the tobacco, but for the "sense" of smoking and bought some nicotine free "herbal" (non consciousness changing) tobacco. I smoked HALF of ONE herbal cigarette, and decided I was really addicted to tobacco. That half cigarette, IDK what was in it some sort of herbal, exotic "blend" was probably THE WORST cigarette I've ever "smoked." LOL.

    I don't recommend it as a strategy, unless you want to find out if you like tobacco or not, and by then I already knew I think I just had a moment of desperate hope there or something. LOL.

    If every reluctant quitter were made to smoke a pack of them before being ALLOWED to start back up, well, I think there would be less recidivism.

    Not for me, though. If I had been REQUIRED to smoke the whole pack before given real tobacco I probably would have finished it in under an hour but I would have been how shall I say, UNHAPPY about it. LOL.
