It really is impossible to make a bad strawberries and cream.
submitted almost 10 years ago by abra5umenteProud Sidebar Reader!

Came up with this a week ago out of boredom, wanted to make a sweet, creamy strawberry juice... so I did.

Ingredient | % ---|--- Caramel Candy TFA | 1% Strawberry TFA | 3% French Vanilla TFA | 1% Toasted Marshmallow TFA | 1% Bavarian Cream TFA | 2% Fresh Cream FA | 1% Strawberry Ripe TFA | 3%

Mix to 80% VG.

Really tasty off the bat, even better after a week of steeping. The creams really come out after about 3 days, the extra 2 days is when the strawberries start to become one with the juice, and it feels a lot less spaced out.

Honestly not much thought went into this. Picked a whole bunch of flavours which I thought would work well together, and they did.

If you want the strawberry to be less pronounced, then use 2% of each. I like strawberry.

Kind of tastes like a Maccas Strawberry Thickshake, so that is what I am calling it: Pink Milk. The juice is yellow.

You're probably all getting sick of my average recipes but this is exciting because I'm making shit which I used to pay upwards of $30 a bottle for.

Make a single flavor mix of TFA Strawberries and Cream hands down worst Strawberries and Cream mix I've ever made.

lol came here to post this.

This flavor can be useful, but not as a standalone

Lol just had to challenge that claim. S&Cs are forgiving for sure but few things if any are 'impossible' to fuck up in the world of DIY.

I really enjoy it, at 7-8 percent, it tastes a lot like strawberry runts

Because it uses a lot of TFA Strawberry Regular and didn't seem to have near as much creme. Not sure what they added for creme. I never tasted it in there.

Go for CAP Sweet Strawberry for a Creme mix. The TFA Strawberry (Ripe) is ok, but has worked best for me as a undertone for other recipes.

It really is a hard one to mess up. That's why it is hands down the most popular juice profile.

You forgot to add the magical dragonfruit to your mix though.

I need to get me some of that.

If you've got pear, use that in lieu of dragonfruit, but add a few drops of citric acid solution. Pear's similar to dragonfruit, but DF has a bit of a brightness kick that pear doesn't have.

I have TFA pear but no citric acid. Will lemon juice do?

Mmmmm, you had me at strawberries. Anything creamy works well with it. Try adding a touch of vanilla custard and vanilla cupcake to the mix. Can't go wrong!

What would you suggest as a "small touch" of the Vanilla Cupcake? I've got a small bottle but have been kind of disappointed with the few experiments I've done with it so far. I'm having trouble dialing in a good percentage.

TFA Strawberry tastes like rind//moist wood/hay to me. And popular creams/custards such as TFA Vanilla Bean Ice cream or Vanilla Custard taste like black pepper. Thus it's quite possible for some people :) (FML)

That's so unfortunate I love TFA strawberry but every other one I've had is awful (cap being the chief offender). And I get the same thing from vbic and most custards so I share your pain there. Cap vc v2 is the only one I can hang with and even that needs to buried with other stuff

I remember reading on this sub that mixing TFA's Strawberry and Strawberry Ripe in equal portions gives a really good strawberry flavor. Gonna try it in the next couple of days.

TFA has the best quality, variety and price by far. Order direct and cut out the middle man. That said, I don't like their strawberry flavor. The Strawberry (Ripe) is awesome and so is the Stawberries and Cream.

How come they don't sell 30ml bottles? I got some from Gremlin DIY but could only find 15ml on the TFA website.

Agreed. Capella's 'sweet' strawberry flavor is the best. The Sweet Raspberry smells awesome too. Just gotta get around to trying it.

Capella mango is wat better than tfa too.

I try to only use tfa for $ reasons, but love me some cap sweet mango!

Separately (ripe) and sweet are decent, but together they reign supreme.

I disagree. Too much strawberry flavoring can go from "delicious" to "tastes like grandma's perfume" after a few days. Gotta keep the percentages in check, otherwise you'll end up with a horrible, bitter floral thing.

If you want to make it interesting, add 0.5% Inw wild strawberry.

I've heard INW are hard to work with, is that true?

No not at all they're for the most part super comcentrated. Not all of them but a majority are.

Fuckin hell mate, you're on a goddamn roll. I think if you make a ringer of a Golden Gaytime flavour then you'll be inducted in the Aussie Vaping Hall of Fame.

Cream, Caramel, chocolate, biscuit... Shouldn't be too hard.

Strawberries and cream are the pizza of vaping. Even the bad ones are pretty good
