Rda/ velocity

% Used/ 5

Coil/ Clapton W/ 45

Steep time/ 2 weeks Wicking/ Full

Mouth Feel - Sharp with just a hint of creaminess. Slight throat hit and light on the tongue. Not very dense I give it 3 out of 10.

Flavor Properties- This is a much more realistic representation of the sweet and tart strawberry with just a hint of the candy flavor.

Relatable Flavors - Like eating a perfectly ripe strawberry with just a little powdered sugar on it.

Position In The Recipe - This will work well as a top note or accent. I think that has too much strawberry kick to work as a base.

Pairings - This flavoring is other strawberries best friend my preferred strawberry blend is a 2:1 strawberry ripe TFA and strawberry TFA. Just a touch of dragon fruit really makes this flavor pop. That said should work well with all berries, creams, and great when paired with bakeries. For an adventure and odd flavor combinations try it with floral flavorings such as shisha Rosemary or zen garden

Conclusion - I'll let you make your own.

Special thanks to /u/Vurve and /u/Matthewkocanda from the beginners blending podcast / modest Monday posts and a shout out to /u/thecathimself for his work with zen garden you've opened up the floodgates!!

> perfectly ripe strawberry

I think Strawberry Ripe tastes like a strawberry that you weren't quite sure you wanted to eat because it was mushily overripe, but are glad that you ate anyway.

One of my favorite flavors. Really like it at 10% with TFA Sweet Cream 5% and TFA Dragonfruit 5%

Love Dragonfruit, really the unsung hero of my flavor collection! I run the same with Bavarian Cream instead of the sweet, with .5% of FA bourbon vanilla

I love it when its freshly mixed.. But unless I put something in to tame it down, after a couple weeks it always seems to turn super floral and reminds me of parma violets more than strawberries :(

Try mixing it lower. I find Straberry Ripe at anything over 5% is a recipe for awful perfuminess after a few days. At 5% or less, it can go weeks without getting floral.

Really like the way this looks - I'm new and have just been lurking, but this is the best formatted of your flavor notes imo. Thank you for the awesome work, its been very helpful in figuring out how to keep my own flavor notes.

I just wish Ripe Strawberry would hold up in my Cheesecakes after a long steep. After a month, it's gone.

I freaking love it though.

What happens if you hold the strawberry and mix it in later in the steep?

Strawberries and Cream from Capella is a sharp high note strawberry that will persist through heavy creams and cheesecake.

awesome flavor but dulls quickly with steeping. i think it is much better as a shake-n-vape

Can taste over ripe sometimes. Depends on the other flavors in the mix.

Im not sure what it is about ripe but the flavor is so disgusting to me. It taste like cardboard with rotten fruit to me.

Switched to this one last order (from reg TFA). Love it at 6-7% with 5% Pomegranate and about 4% raspberry sweet TFA. Maybe 1% sweetener too, but not really needed.

About 85vg when done, great clouds and flavour.
