Got the ErlK clone in today. Built it, threw in some 12mg Betelgeuse, and ran a few ml through it.

Seems the 12mg is gonna be a bit too high. Throat hit and nic were kicking a bit too hard for me. Running some 9mg strawberry cream from a local B&M now, and the throat hit and nic hit are more manageable. I'll probably end up using 6mg.

BOOM!

The ErlK provides a thumping throat hit with excellent vapor product. The only thing that would make me happier is if they dropped about $50 in price, wishful thinking.

Finally decided to try some strawnilla in my Erlkonigin. Mighty tasty. Strawberry nestle quick. Definitely will go in my rotation.

Nice! Glad you are digging it dude!

Another KFL/R91 thing?

The authentic Erlkönigin is pretty steep in price, but is a beautiful piece. High quality materials, tight tolerances, super clean finish, etc - it's a luxury item. They knew it would be cloned, so they basically cloned it themselves and offered the Erlprinz as a cheaper (but somewhat lower quality) alternative.

I first had an Erlkönigin clone, and wasn't super happy with it. Build quality and materials were kind of shoddy. I then picked up the Erlprinz, which is working out better. The materials used and build quality still aren't as great as the authentic Erlkönigin, but much better than the clone.

BOOM!

I'm not living this and I'm not sure why. I think the real raspberry taste from razz cup I was expecting to find the same with the strawberry, but I do get more of an unsweetened nesquick taste. Gonna give it some more time to steep and try again. It's not bad by any means, just not in love the same way I am with PBC and razzcup.

ThunderPack,

Does it improve with some steep time? This is the first juice of NT that I did not care for. And I love strawberries and custard. Please tell I just need to steep it more.

:confused:

Strawnilla needs a solid two month steep before it transforms into the nectar from the gods, IMO. I would try it once a week for the next couple of months so that you have an idea when it tastes best for you.

Good advice...

That wonderful moment when Strawnilla has enough steep to really start hitting... Vapevapevape, fill, repeat, rewick, vapevapevape.

This bottle didn't take too long to start hitting nicely, less than a week. I'd imagine it would be even nicer with a two month steep; unfortunately, a bottle never seems to last me that long.

I've been running it through a Lemo, 1.5 ohm 28 gauge slightly spaced coil @ 17 watts. Now and then I'll make sure the wicks are well primed and pull a nice long 20 watt drag - and then put the mod down for a while til the nic wears off a little.

BOOM!

Well, I needed a change this morning, so I hit strawnilla again (DOB 11/12/14) and my goodness, it is delicious. It had a good month steep time. I am so happy I didn't give this juice away now. The melody and vanilla are just balanced perfectly. So yummy. I'm going to put it back for another month to see what it transforms into again. I am impressed. I bought a 60ml bottle a few weeks ago, just to accompany this 15ml sample bottle I had in case I liked it, thinking I would trade it after enough steeping time would elapse if it didn't work for me. Boy, I'm glad I did.

Love it. Great job.

Mine was bottled back in July and man I wished I could taste the Strawberry! It's just as flat as can be. I do taste some sweetness to it but not much else. ​I know it's me and not the juice, but I've tried quite a few strawberry juices and cant taste any of them which is very irritating because I love strawberry!!!!

That's interesting, only thing I can think of is most strawberry flavor has nothing to do with strawberries. They're related compounds that are similar enough to trick our brain into thinking you're tasting strawberries. You may not have tastebuds that respond to these analogues like ours do.

Solution: use real strawberries

I love Nicoticket jooses, but like you also cannot taste any strawberry in Strawnilla. Maybe it is the combination used, for I have found another strawberry juice where I can clearly taste the strawberry.

I think builds,equipment,steep time,wattage,etc. must play into to this. I get awesome strawberry quick flavor from it steeped using my Erlkonigin with a 1 ohm coil at 9.3 watts. There is some steeped on the Perkins paste sticky. This is easily in my top 5 juices. I like it enough that when I get my two REOs with the new 510s it could easily stay in one of them permanently. Sorry it isn't hitting for some.
