How Much TFA Strawberry to Use

[shurpacabra]

I'm currently working on a Strawberry Banana Cream recipe and I'm having trouble determining how much strawberry to use. I am making 10ml of juice. The strawberry is certainly the least strong of the three, and the banana is extremely potent. My first recipe is as follows

Strawberry 10%
Banana 1%
Sweet Cream 4%

Total Flavor 15%

I want the strawberry to be the focus of the blend. Im about to make one now with 2% banana and less sweet cream, because it started to overpower the rest. Should my total flavor percentage be higher? Like 20%? How much TFA strawberry do you guys use? Thanks, and vape on!

I made a Dragons blood recipe where I used 10% Dragon Fruit and only 3% Strawberry Ripe and still tasted the Strawberry so much so that on the next batch I substituted Raspberry Sweet for the Strawberry. I like it better by the way. Not sure if it helps but I'm just trying to say I think it's a pretty strong flavor.

Cheers,
Steve

I have read that too much flavor can actually have a reverse effect, where it begins to mute itself. Is this true? Is it possible that even 10% strawberry could be too high? That just seems really low to me, especially with how extremely potent the banana is.

Too much flavor can also give your mix a perfumey/chemical taste. Good luck!

It is fun to DIY. I am starting and I am doing 5ml batches.

Thank you! I just remade the mixture with
strawberry 10%
banana 2.5%
sweet cream 2.5%
10mg nic
and it tastes a lot more well rounded.

The suggested usage for strawberry flavoring is 3-15%. I find it also helps to look at other people's recipes too. It has turned into a new hobby. Have fun with it.
