Working with TFA Raspberry - noob challenges

[Marc411]

So I'm about three weeks into mixing and I am pretty pleased with the progress but have one flavor that I just can't get right.

Raspberry, my favorite fruit so go figure.

Bill's recipe for Raspberry Danish looks incredible but every time I've mixed it I get floral notes. I started at 8% and have gone down to 6% and nothing changes. Does Raspberry require a deep steep. I use 1ml syringes for all my flavorings.

This is the recipe for reference:

Raspberry Frosted Danish
Raspberry - 8-9%
Vanilla Custard - 4%
Brown Sugar - 3%
Sweetener - 3%
Waffle/Belgian Waffle- 3%
Sweet Cream - 2-3%
Butter - 2-3%
Cream Cheese Icing(LA) - 2%

I am sure Bill will be around soon to help you out. Have you tried steeping it a bit with very warm water?

Thanks for the reply Mrdaputer.

I haven't tried a warm water steep but did leave it uncapped for the night, I read here that it helped another member with the same challenge. I haven't gone back to it yet, I have a wicked cold and can't taste anything. I have some sense 0f smell and this morning it smelled excellent.

It's been steeping for about a week. I have to get this one working, it sounds fantastic!

Does TFA Raspberry normally need steeping?

TFA raspberry needs a couple of weeks.

TFA raspberry needs a couple of weeks.

Excellent, that's what I was hoping to hear. It's the one fruit flavor I just can't get to work.

Thank you.

Adding strawberry to my grape toned down the perfume taste. (this was a hint Bill's Magic Vaper posted) I don't know if it will work for your raspberry but it might. If not strawberry, maybe another fruit. HTH

Just broke this one back out and the floral taste is gone and the Raspberry laid down quite a bit. It's a damn fine vape after an additional couple days of steeping.

Thanks to the folks that posted, it helped!
