Cherry Starburst?

submitted over 9 years ago by Binsky89

Does anyone know of a cherry Starburst recipe?

I searched Reddit and the recipe site with no luck. Seems that strawberry is more popular by far.

FLV Bing Cherry. Reminds me exactly of a Cherry Starburst. Still testing it out but, 1%-2% seem to be the sweet spot.

Just opened mine up and mixed up a single batch.

Yup, it's Cherry Starburst.

Unfortunately not. I just emailed them asking what's up.

Update on that FLV Lemonade: Taste like lemon Starburst.

A lot of the FLV fruit flavors taste very candy-like.

Do you know if their orange citrus tastes like starburst? That may be the final touch I need to perfect my dreamsicle recipe.

At what %?

So, I finally purchased and tried Bing Cherry at 2% (70/30) and it was pretty damn awful. This stuff was almost like oil. It tasted harsh, tore up my throat, and I had to wash my tank with soap and water to get it off (simply rinsing did nothing, the liquid stuck to the glass like oil).

Do you think using it at 1% and throwing in some TFA Smooth would help? I really want to use this liquid because it smells exactly like Cherry Starburst, but I'm a little afraid now. I'm still very green behind the ears when it comes to DIY.

Sorry to hear that. Did you Steep it at all or just shake n vape? Sometimes letting a flavor age a bit, will smooth it out.

If you have some, try adding 1% E.M. It's been known to smooth out some harshness.

Otherwise, I would just do what you said, and drop it down to 1% or maybe even .5%. As far as TFA Smooth, I have it but never really used it. But, if all else fails, it probably wouldn't hurt to try.

I really hope it works out for you because I really get the starburst flavor from this one. Maybe /u/Vurve will have some other suggestions, too.

I let it steep for over a week before trying it. It's been nearly a month now, so maybe I'll give it another go before tinkering with it

Maybe use the strawberry recipe and make some of your own changes to implement a cherry flavour?

I haven't tried a cherry in a while. I have TFA Black Cherry and it wasn't the greatest experience. Taste very similar to cough medicine. I'm assuming that's why you don't see very many cherries being used.

I've used FA Black Cherry for a few cherry cola mixes, but haven't really explored past there. It's very good with the cola.

Every cherry I've used has been kinda like cough syrup but the one I've had the most success with so far is Capella's wild cherry. Really want to try FlavorAh's bing cherry soon, heard good things.

Kind makes me regret ordering cherry from TFA

Maraschino? I really want to like it. I'm hoping I might, I just recently starting toying with it in extremely small amounts like .2/.3/.4 but I hardly noticed it. Something tells me it won't be as god awful at the lowest possible % it could be used at. I really wanna try cherry blossom from TFA. If it's the same cherry used in cherry blossom tea by Alice in vapeland I might fall in love instantly.

I'll have to look at my order, but I believe it's just straight up cherry.
