Ohh it sweetens up

Ohh it sweetens up well. It is a natural extract with no artificial ingredients and has just a bit of the strawberry rasp to it. But if you like the real sweet stuff maybe not for you. I will be able to give you better feedback once I get the Shisha Strawberry in.

It sounds pretty good; the shisha strawberry tastes like real strawberries, that have been sitting overnight in sugar, so they turn into syrupy goodness to put cream in -- so yes, there's a *bit* of real strawberrys' tartness, but mostly sweet.

But if the FC is a natural extract, it might not help my gunking problem; pretty sure the reason the shisha does it is because it's organic.

Still, gotta be cheaper than the INW. I'll give it a shot!

Opt for the glass dropper bottle it is no extra charge and shipping is free.

I don't like the Malted Milk at all; to me it has a sort of "plasticky" taste; very artificial tasting. But that's just me.

I've also been trying different strawberry flavors, trying to replace the INW Shisha Strawberry I use because it's so expensive; the TFA Ripe Strawberry smells great in the bottle, but I found the taste disappointing. I'm still stuck with the INW, if I want REAL strawberry flavor.

Any other suggestions for strawberry are very welcome; I also tried the CAP Sweet Strawberry; has a very alcohol-y scent, and the taste is a bit weak. I tried mixing the TFA and CAP flavors, still doesn't taste like real fresh strawberries as the INW does.

Nah I haven't bought any since I ran across a 100ml in the classies. But I'm down to less than 30ml, so I really need to fnd another strawberry I like, or go on and order a big bottle (100ml) from Poland.

Kenna, I normally buy 10ml INWs at bullcityvapor.com, because they don't rebottle, you're getting the real thing as it comes from Inawera. But I go thru so much of that strawberry, 10ml bottles don't last long and aren't cost effective.

Yeah I've bought it from them when money was tight, and the first I got from them was fine, just as good as original-bottle INW, but the next one, I wasn't so sure about, it seemed a little weak. So I stopped buying it from them or from Vaperstek, who also rebottles (and is even more costly than BCV, who doesn't rebottle! )

Andria

 

[AndriaD]

BTW, @Robert Cromwell -- where do you buy the FCs? I thought BCV had them but I don't see them.

Andria

ETA: nevermind, I found their website, and realized I had already nixed these, because they cost even more than the Inawera! 10ml of shisha strawberry is $4.74 at BCV, and $5.99 for strawberry Flavor Concentrate, geez.

Good Evening Everyone. Gonna ask about a TFA Flavor - Fudge Brownie.
Started into a small 100ml sample this evening. not too sure about this one. Using a BF Veritas in single vertical coil on a VV Grand - usually a very good setup for flavor. At lower voltage and with the AFC nearly closed, I am getting a chocolate cake- like something out of this. But if I start coming up in Wattage, it becomes more like taking a powder cocoa and placing it directly on your tongue. I was wondering if anyone uses a mixer or a recipe with this flavor ? Any assistance appreciated, thanks.
For the Record : 25/75 PG/VG @ 10mg nicotine. Steeped one week.

The Capella I get from Ecigexpress is not rebottled. HDV does though and is higher for a smaller bottle.

Yep, same for me on both....

Alright, y'all... I'm trying to help out a new member here from Canada, and he's wanting to get into DIY... anybody got a good source for nic, vg/pg, and TFA flavors from up there?

@Anyhony ... if anybody around here can help us figure out the best way to get you set up, it'll be the awesome guys/gals in this thread!

Can you tell me anything about it, compared to TFA Ripe Strawberry, CAP Sweet Strawberry, or Inawera Shisha Strawberry? The last one is the flavor I like; I found the first 2 very disappointing, and I'm not terribly inclined to just keep throwing money away without some reason to think it might suit me.

Lets see ,let me quote headinclouds notes about The flavor

FA Strawberry (Red Touch):

You must shake this flavoring well before using it, or you’ll get very faint flavor. This is another example of the realism of FA’s fruit flavors. It has none of the fermented qualities of other brands’ ripe-strawberry flavors (though FA Amber can add that if you want).

To me is a really true flavor a little earthy like eating a fresh strawberry just choped from the fields, not too sweet.

But it can be sweetened up? I like *real* strawberry flavor, but I *like* sweet; without enough sweetener, nothing has much of a flavor to me. (I love black tea, I drink it round the clock, but without enough sugar in it, it just tastes like bitter brown water to me).

Yes you can add sweetener or try with a little sweet cream, marshmallow, brown sugar etc , also flavourart strawberry its a really strong flavor i only use around 3% most of the time, you can also try yo mix it with another strawberry flavor like ripe or sweet strawberry

3%? Haha... they told me 4%-8% for the shisha strawberry... I use 16%. I don't want a kinda-sorta-hint-of-strawberry flavor... I want strawberry flavor that smacks me in the face and says WAKE UP! So maybe I'll try 10% and see if that's strong enough.
