TFA Strawberry Ripe Change

[Fidola13]

I recieved an email from DIYorDIE this afternoon discussing the recent changes in TFAs Strawberry Ripe. Here’s a snapshot of the post. You can find more on the website or FB page.

Here’s the link to the article

Btw the stock BCF has is from the old manufacturer. I contacted them just now.

Thank you for taking the time to share, @Fidola13.

Interesting I thought TFA was the manufacturer.

Me to. Maybe its just one of the molecules that they had to go elsewhere. Theres a lot of different things in any flavoring

 

[Letitia]

It's my understanding that the new manufacturer has successfully matched the flavor according to the TFA tasters. They compared the old & new in blind tastings and discerned no difference .

The second half of this TFA article gives a bit of an overview, of how, when, and why, TFA partners with outside laboratories.

I bet that someone who uses it in a recipe as a ADV, would be a better judge of that. I have the original in a small bottle, been a long time that I used it, so that would not be me.

Perhaps if the person has no preconceived notion and it's a blind test. I would personally only trust a blind test for something like this. SB Ripe is very popular for TFA and doubt they would settle for anything less than a match.

I’ve been vaping strawberry ripe in my adv recipe for about two years straight. I have a ton but am curious to try the new version.

 

[Letitia]

I don’t vape strawberry often but use the ripe and shisha a lot for my cousin. Won't need any for awhile but doubt that she'd notice since I use 3 strawberries for her mixes.

 

[ShamrockPat]

I use 3 strawberries for her mixes

I usually do this as well, and find they're usually in the 5-7% range total. Except with Flavorah's Alpine Strawberry

 

[Letitia]

Meg hasn't been off cigs long and for her strawberries the mix usually lands around 8-10% just for them. For myself closer to 2-4%.

I saw Wayne's video on this a couple of nights ago. He said there were minor complaints regarding the harshness of SR, which I get. So, TFA is going to work it around. Should be interesting.

Here's a new update from Wayne.

 

[Letitia]

Would have preferred a blind test. At least his perceptions were positive.
