I just ordered some of the strawberry also. I decided to get a small bottle of the lucky shot too after hearing about it here.

I will second and third the Arnold Palmer.....good stuff. And joel is right about the lemon, never fades.....
I placed a small order this morning cause I just have to try the new Succulent Strawberry ya'all are raving about plus needed to replenish a couple of other flavors. I placed this order at 11:34 and had a shipping notice at noon. Now that is good service. I have always had superior service from them, but this one is remarkable.
Hey now; wait a minute! What are you insinuating???Ain't the first time
Okay. I guess I gotta own it.
It's been just a few days since I made the 30mL bottle of OSDIY Succulent Strawberry @ 10%, and it seems to have gotten stronger and/or alittle more tart. In fact, I'm going to cut my remaining amount with some more PG & VG.
I'll probably drop the starting % to about 5-6 in my next batch, and adjust up if needed after a few days, instead of making it at 10% again. IMO it'll still be very flavorful. So, if you're usually a low total flavor % person...you might want to start at even lower than 5-6%. Just wanted to give a heads up to others who haven't received theirs yet, in case what you make may seem to get stronger and alittle more tart to you, too, as time goes by.
Kimberly might have recommended 10%...if her husband vapes 24mg nic eliquid like she does, and he used 10% in his. In any event, making it at a lower % will make my 4oz. bottle last longer anyway, so it's a win-win to me!

Thanks for the update.
I'd be interested if it has flavor fade after several weeks, typical with strawberry vapes.
I started at 8% and found it too "in your face" for my liking. I reduced it to 6% (as a stand-alone) and it is just about perfect. If I want a bit more tea-forward profile; I reduce the AP to 4%, and add 1-1½% TFA Green Tea.
I should note that I mixed this 30P/70V 6mg/mL, and vaped in dual coil DTL tanks, built to 0.5-0.8 ohm builds. I like a cool vape; so I keep the wattage as low as I can, and still allow the coil to perform as intended. Recipe may require adjustment to your own nic levels, equipment, and vaping style (doesn't it always?
). Bummer! I just saw that the TFA Recipes Only! thread is closed. I assume due to inactivity. I saw that it was back to the third or fourth page if the recipes sub-forum and was going to give it a bump.
