Ill be wearing a #@$/£÷*$&! suit again because coming from work, like last time - I felt like an idiot. So yeah, look for the dumbass vaper in a suit between the most casual and chilled-out folk ever!

What are some good possible substitutes for TFA strawberry, I'm looking for something that will be close (doesn't have to taste 100% exact)... the only strawberry concentrates I have are TFA strawberry ripe and capella sweet strawberry. Which one is best for substituting or should I combine them both? My recipe needs a 7% TFA strawberry so which one can I use and at what percentage or should I combine to achieve something that's close enough ?

FA Strawberry, very natural tasting - I use it at 6% as the dominant flavour in blends. Not as sweet as TFA / CAP.

Won't be 100% TFA Strawberry, I have mixed TFA Strawberry Ripe and Capella Sweet Strawberry, 50/50 with good results with Fizzmustard's mustard milk recipe.

So for my 7% TFA strawberry I could do 3.5% Cap sweet strawberry and 3.5 TFA strawberry ripe?

That's 100% correct

 

[daniel craig]

That's 100% correct

Just one more question, how is TFA strawberry different from these 2? Is it more creamier, sweet, tangy, real ?

 

[acorn]

Not that good in describing flavours, the Strawberry ripe with Sweet Strawberry mixed, come close to TFA strawberry imho.

 

[acorn]

@daniel craig , in my best effort, would say TFA strawberry more sweet than Ripe, Ripe more and organic less sweet strawberry, Ripe and CAP sweet strawberry's mixed is the closest you'll get to TFA Strawberry as substitute.

Also check: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/34k87b/tfa_strawberry_vs_ripe_strawberry/ think they will explain it better

Dude I have to applaud you for this recipe, it is freaking amazing - it has steeped for 4-5days and it is just freaking amazing. The only thing I didn't add was honeydew. Are you going to be at the meet today? If yes I would like to say hi and thanks personally

Ya @Ezekiel this is bloody well done!

Tried some of @NewOobY 's.... Very nice indeed.

hey dude, I'm not a seasoned DIY-er. However I could suggest a really simple one for you:

TFA sweet strawberry 1%
TFA ripe strawberry 6%
TFA sweet cream 3%-5% <-- You can choose anything in that range
TFA Smooth <- 1 drop per 15ml or so
If you want to be adventurous add about 1-2% Vanilla Custard, whichever amount you choose here say 1% reduce the sweet cream percentage by the same amount.
Just remember you will need to steep the above for about 1-2 weeks.

Then another one that can work:
TFA sweet strawberry 1%
TFA ripe strawberry 6%
TFA pineapple 0.5%
TFA Vanilla cupcake 2%
TFA sweet cream 4%
TFA Smooth <- 1 drop per 15ml or so

Remember pineapple is a very strong flavor so use it sparingly - even at 0.5% you will still taste it.
The above recipes are to my flavor profile, so not sure if you will like it.

You have made a very good decision to come here and ask, the more seasoned guys will come and give you suggestions I am sure. Don't give up bro, you will find a lekka recipe, enjoy the search man its fun...

Hmm those are quite difficult - they are generally flavours I use with other stuff.

Like Thrashberry if you can buy 2 more items:

TFA Strawberry Ripe 6%
CAP Harvest Berry 6%
FW Booysenberry 3%
TFA Toasted Marshmallow 3%

Its one of my favourite juices.

Then if you can buy TFA White Chocolate:

My adaptation of White Gremlin is pretty stunning

TFA Vanilla Cupcake 8%
TFA Strawberry Ripe 7%
TFA White Chocolate 2%

 

[rogue zombie]

I would also guess this would be a decent Strawberry Custard

TFA Custard 7%
TFA Sweet Cream 1%
CAP Sweet Strawberry 6%

 

[NewOobY]

@Marius Combrink as mr zombie suggested you just need a few more flavor to make some really nice juices, obviously the flavors that zombie suggested are "need to haves" another one you should consider is "TFA: Bavarian Cream", this one will change your life man no jokes.

 

[Silver]

Just have to say everytime I check out this thread I am amazed and excited - then overwhelmed
Then excited again
Lol

You DIY guys are amazing!

awesome. will order some more flavours at month end

 

[rogue zombie]

IF you are feeling rich, then add FW Yellow Cake

I have made the White Gremlin as follows, which is even tastier:

FW Yellow Cake 2%
TFA Cupcake 4%
TFA Strawberry Ripe 7%
TFA White Chocolate 2%

FW Yellow Cake is another one of those stunning flavours out there. But it will work just fine with just TFA Cupcake

@rogue zombie If I can ask what would you say are the must have concentrates?

 

[rogue zombie]

@rogue zombie If I can ask what would you say are the must have concentrates?

Hmmm I'd say

CAP Harvest Berry (and every other flavour to make Thrashberry)
TFA Strawberry
TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
FW Yellow Cake
CAP Choc Glazed Donut
TFA Bavarian Cream
FA Fuji Apple
FA Almond
FA Marshmallow
FA Forest Fruit
INW Raspberry (difficult to use though)
INW Cactus


These are ones that I ALWAYS need to have in stock. But of coarse I use them with other stuff to make.

I still havent bought it - but CAP NY Cheesecake is supposedly outstanding too. I'm just not big on Cheesecake.
