Strawberry Kiwi (Almost Air Factory)

submitted almost 7 years ago by sublimeiceMixologist

Okay, So I've done a bunch of different variants of this flavor. I'm gonna list all of the ones I've tried. The first one is the most recent one I've done and my god its juicy, yet still taffy like.

I don't really have anything you can sub in this juice. (I'm sure some of the pro mixers could help out with that) This is one of the first really good juices I've made.

v2.0 5th & 6th Attempt

6th Attempt

My Personal Favorite. Its yummy!

|Flavor|Manufacture|Percentage| |:-|:-|:-| |Strawberry|TFA|5%| |Kiwi|FA|3%| |Ripe Strawberry|TFA|7%| |Salt Water Taffy|FW|0.50%| |Cactus Concentrate|INW|0.25%|

I like it where this one sits. The cactus doesn't come through flavor wise, but definitely makes it a lot more juicy. Like eating a juicy salt water taffy candy. The strawberry is just enough to be very present in the flavor without overriding the kiwi notes within the juice. Its good guys. Try it yourself.

5th Attempt - Added Shisha Strawberry and Cactus - Really good, but idk I like it without the Shisha

|Flavor|Manufacture|Percentage| |:-|:-|:-| |Strawberry|TFA|5%| |Kiwi|FA|3%| |Ripe Strawberry|TFA|7%| |Salt Water Taffy|FW|0.50%| |Cactus Concentrate|INW|0.35%| |Shisha Strawberry|INW|3%|

Okay. So I did some homework, asked some people what can help make a juice less dry. Cactus Concentrate is used to make a juice feel more "wet/juicy" feeling. This definitely helped with the dry-ness feeling when vaping 5-10+ hits. Also added 3% Shisha Strawberry INW to the mix. I personally don't like it as much as I do without the Shisha. The Cactus kinda rides through a tad on the flavor and mutes out some of the strawberry notes at 0.35%

Other Variants

v1.3 4th Attempt

|Flavor|Manufacture|Percentage| |:-|:-|:-| |Strawberry|TFA|5%| |Kiwi|FA|3%| |Ripe Strawberry|TFA|7%| |Salt Water Taffy|FW|0.50%|

Adjusted the Strawberry TFA down 2% - I think its about perfect here at 5%

And a near miss due to dry flavor after 5-10 hits. The strawberry and Kiwi come through almost perfectly, Its missing something to make it more juicy/wet feeling.

v1.2 3rd Attempt

|Flavor|Manufacture|Percentage| |:-|:-|:-| |Strawberry|TFA|7%| |Kiwi|FA|3%| |Ripe Strawberry|TFA|7%| |Salt Water Taffy|FW|0.50%|

Almost got it. To much strawberry. Adjusted the Taffy down 0.25% and Strawberry TFA up by 5%

This one was a lot better on the taffy flavoring. Not to strong, not to light. Brought up the % on strawberry tfa. You can definitely now taste the strawberry in the flavor. But its almost to much strawberry and not enough kiwi. Simplest solution is to bring the strawberry tfa down as that was what I increased from the last version.

v1.1 2nd Attempt

|Flavor|Manufacture|Percentage| |:-|:-|:-| |Strawberry|TFA|2%| |Kiwi|FA|5%| |Ripe Strawberry|TFA|7%| |Salt Water Taffy|FW|0.75%|

To much kiwi. A hair to much taffy still. Adjusted taffy down by 2.25%

After I dialed back the taffy to under 1% just because of how strong the flavor actually was. Still a bit to much taffy flavoring, but a lot closer. The kiwi almost overrides the strawberry at this point and needed to be dialed back. Still dry after 5-10 hits. Good, but not what I was shooting for.

v1.0 - First attempt

|Flavor|Manufacture|Percentage| |:-|:-|:-| |Strawberry|TFA|2%| |Kiwi|FA|5%| |Ripe Strawberry|TFA|7%| |Salt Water Taffy|FW|3%|

I noticed immediately, far to much taffy flavoring. Overpowering, and pretty much muted out everything except the kiwi flavor. Basically was almost like vaping a kiwi taffy. Needed to dial it back a fuck load. Flavor was extremely dry and lacking in the strawberry department.

Looks good. I find dragon fruit works well with strawberry & kiwi. Try it at 1-2%

That's a shitload of EM in there. How's the juice after a month steep? Strawb. Ripe does stranger things after steeping. I might try this with slightly adjusted percentages since I like things a little lower %wise.

Yup, exactly.

That's why I asked, me and my wife ate the same, vaping the fruit juices before they had time to steep (or fade for a lot of fruits).

got it. I may adjust the recipe when I get my normal strawberry in and then make a 30 of the regular recipe and let it steep a while. I will report back with the findings
