Really happy for the fact that you are getting there. Keep up the good work for your perfect juice!

You may want this

Tagging /u/JimDoom1 so they can see this thread 👍

I was back on this profile lately (3rd time around maybe? but Blueberry instead of strawberry this time) and had decided day before yesterday to give up again. You've revived me since the bread is always been the hard part! Thank you! Here I come, Cupcake World, whatever you are!

That's pretty much the recipe the site I buy from uses.

Damn it, I just put an order in with rainbowvapes yesterday.

Hey u/ShittyStrawman thank you very much for the acknowledgement, this is the first time I've been able to assist another DIY Redditor in a definite way, and it's great that you were able to get closer to your goal, I'm very pleased. I couldn't agree more that the community should be a little more adventurous in trying concentrates from obscure flavour houses, cos there's some really good ones out there that ppl are missing out on. (The rest of this post isn't directed just at you, Shitstrawm, it's just a general rant on this topic, lol. But, skip to the bottom for a couple more Strawberry Jam flavours I've found).

There are two kinds of 'one shots' out there for a start; the mixtures of regular single flavours (rightfully disdained), but also there are flavours which sound like one shots, in that they're complete flavour profiles, but they aren't mixtures of other concentrates, they're unique, original compounds, which often have very distinctive tastes, and are very different from the notes contained in the palette available from the Big Flavour Houses. How many times have you seen ppl attempting a bread note with flavours like AP, Biscuit, Cookie, Waffle, etc? It's not even close, but it's such a simple taste, there has to be a concentrate out there to mimic it exactly. That was my thinking anyway.

Also, many of the stores which sell concentrates have their in house ranges, which presumably are a bit more profitable for them, and mostly these are NOT one shots (in the sense of mixed concentrates), they're unique compounds. Many of the ones in the UK replicate complete flavour profiles for candies and desserts which are popular in the UK, but not necessarily in America, e.g.; crumble, treacle tart, Bakewell tart, Jelly Babies, etc. The commercial companies don't always mess around mixing compounds from Capella and TFA in complex formulas to make their juice, they just source a complete Bakewell tart concentrate, add sweetener, maybe one or two accent flavours, and boom, done.

However, within these in house ranges, you can also find flavours which aren't complete profiles like that, but also simple, basic building block flavours, which again are quite unique in taste, and provide a palette which is both quite distinct from the notes available from the Big Boys, and which caters to particular British taste. People should realise that these concentrates aren't of lower quality than the flavours from the big houses, the difference is merely that those companies are set up to market concentrates directly to the consumer, in small quantities. There are many other manufacturers of flavour concentrates, who only supply large quantities to food and drink manufacturers, which is overwhelmingly the largest market for flavour concentrates. The vape stores are able to buy large quantities from these companies, who aren't set up to distribute tiny quantities directly to the consumer, at profitable rates, then rebottle and sell on to us, in small quantities. It's a huge mistake to dismiss these flavours just because they don't come from a company which you see mentioned on mixing shows on youtube. The only reason these flavours are 'obscure' is because ppl like Wayne Walker, ID10-T, and Concrete River haven't got around to mentioning them, for whatever reason. I may well write a top level post incorporating all of these points, to try and draw some attention to these concentrates, as well as writing a few reviews, cos ppl are definitely missing out.

Since the last time I posted, I've bought a few more flavours, trying to get that perfect Strawberry Jam taste, and I've scored a coupe of winners, both better than the Chef's Choice. Did you get that one yet, Shitty ? There's OOO Strawberry Jam, from Vapable, pretty good, and also Dr. Flavour Strawberry Jam, which is the jammiest and nicest one i've found. You can get that one on ebay and Amazon - it's an original concentrate, made in the UK.

Very excited to see where this goes. I may get one of those Dr. Flavour concentrates if it ends up working out :D
