Whos tried FA Juicy Strawberry?
submitted almost 8 years ago by JohnnyBravo555

Just interested in whos tried FA Juicy Strawberry and how you found it?

For myself it's pretty damn good, juicy as hell, near perfect tasting strawberry. I see from reviews not everyone can taste it, just watched some alien conspiracy guy on YouTube saying it wasn't that great. I can taste most Strawberry concentrates although some are pretty faint(cap sweet strawberry, INW Shisha), for me FA Juicy blows them out of the water.

Just trying to get an idea of how many people have problems receiving it on their pallete. I've given it to 5 of my testers so far and all love it.

Here's my take on it -> (FA) Juicy Strawberry - Flavour Notes

First Impressions: Very authentic strawberry with a thick mouth feel. Similar to TFA's well-known "Strawberry (Ripe)" although it seems less sweet and more on the Authentic side of the spectrum.

In depth: The body of the Strawberry is very present, it has a thick creamy/Maltol property - almost milky. There is a hint of tartness, specifically when tasted on the tongue which will probably come out at higher percentages. This concentrate seems much more suited to fruit vapes as oppose to thicker bakeries, as it is a very "thick" flavour in itself. Would do very well with light creams, like authentic Strawberry Milkshake or Smoothie type vapes.

Overall impression: 4/5 - Great flavour! I don't think it's a replacement for any of the already available Strawberries on the market, although I think its going to find it's way into a LOT of recipes!

Sweet spot - Between 2% and 3%

P.s. I hope it's ok to post this here, and hope it helps somebody :)

My favorite as well , even more than Shisha . I think Wayne reviewed it and thought it was average but when it comes to flavors you got to try it yourself because whats average to one person is the best ever to the next.

Curious to see what other strawberry flavors mix best with it, some say FA's Red Touch but haven't mixed them yet.

The smell when you mix these two together is beauty.

Juicy strawberry is my go to strawberry flavor. I’ve had quite a few people try it and I don’t think anyone has said anything negative.

It's my preferred Strawberry flavor as well. It's fine by itself but I've mixed it with other fruits and even menthol. So good!

I didn't realize people had complaints about it

People will have complaints with EVERY FLAVOR no matter how amazing it is .

That's good. What percentage do you generally use it at?

I typically use it at 5%.

I like how forgiving it is and doesn't have off notes when you push it. I find, down low its more of an authentic stb but then when you push it up it takes on a more sweet, artificial note.

I really like this flavor and finds that is really rounds out after about 2 or 3 days. It is super close to the daveberry trinity of shisha/red touch/and jf stb sweet although not quite as full. I would use this in a mix if I wanted a good strawberry but it wasn't the main note and only wanted to use one ingredient for the strawberry, otherwise, I would stick to the daveberry trinity for a primarily strawberry (scream) mix.

I thought it tasted was very much like the old combination of TFA Strawberry Ripe/CAP Sweet Strawberry, something like a more concentrated version of a 2:1 Ripe:Sweet combination of those down at 2%, with the Sweet Strawberry ramping up gradually to 1:2 Ripe:Sweet as you go up over 3% . Quite juicy, as you mentioned, and full-flavored, not thin and top-heavy like a lot of FA stuff. To me, it might be the best single flavor strawberry out there. Still good as high as 6% but very candied and less natural up there; starts to get soapy at 7%.

Could be very, very useful as an ingredient for a secondary strawberry note, but if I really want to vape strawberry as the centerpiece of a recipe I'm still gonna reach for a combination of INW Shisha, FA Red Touch, and JF Sweet Stb first.

Agree regarding it being reminiscent of cap strawberry + ripe. That was my first impression as well. I haven't tried the 3 way strawberry you mentioned because I didn't have JF strawberry until recently. I wreckon I better get on that, eh?

Better than shisha strawberry and jf sweet strawberry.

I use it 2:1 with red touch.

by wh1skeyk1ngalmost 8 years agoThanks for reading this flair

What percentage are you using it at? Is there any other strawberry flavor it is somewhat comparable to?

3 points
 
by JohnnyBravo555almost 8 years ago

I'd say TFA Strawberry Ripe is the closest in similarity. I use at between 4-5% as a primary flavour in low wattage MTL tanks and around 2.5-3% in when using sub ohm.

I can't even taste Ripe no matter how strong it is , Juicy strawberry i can taste .

Godammit I finally got Shisha Strawberry and now there’s some new hotness that’s even better? :-(

Don't sweat it! I have Juicy Strawberry but I still find Shisha to be better.

Upvoted cause someone downvoted you... thanks for the info I will give shisha a whirl before I think of buying this on anyway!

Shisha's great also and probably the best for people who can't taste strawberry .

Shisha strawberry is the only strawberry i can't continually vape because i get sick of it's flavor pretty quickly .

Really loved it at first though.

I'm one of those that doesn't care for Shisha strawberry too much. I like FA Juicy Strawberry better.

Ordered some because of this thread. Have always just gone with sweet or ripe.

I don't have problems tasting strawberry thankfully... So I'm not much help there. However, I do like this flavor. I think concentration wise it's slightly weaker than most FA flavors, to me... Meaning I have to use it higher than I normally would. But even then, it's still low. (I typically do FAs at 1%... this I have to do 2%) I haven't worked with it a whole lot but I'm enjoying it so far.

I like it better than Red Touch, but it seems to suffer from an overabundance of Ethyl Maltol like TFA's Ripe.

It's decent. I prefer a mix of FA Juicy Strawberry & INW Shisha Strawberry & a 3-5 day steep.
