I am just getting into DIY and love it but I am having a problem with strawberry flavoring. I have tried the following; FA - Strawberry, ripe strawberry TFA and strawberries and cream cap (all 4%-8%,range) they all have a funky flavor to me. I am looking for more of a strawberry milkshake/candied flavor strawberry. Any help would be great, this forum has been a great source of information on diying, thanks.

Some flavor help

FA is more of a realistic strawberry, and I agree with @Mattp169 - try it at 2% and work from there. But TFA Strawberry Ripe might be more up your alley - a little sweeter/candy-like. With that 8% isn't unreasonable, maybe add some sort of sweet cream to see where that takes you? I don't know what your inventory looks like, but I'd go with 8% Strawberry Ripe, 2% TFA Bavarian Cream, 2% TFA Malted Milk...
Have you tried them without nic? Sounds to me like something else is distorting the flavor.
If I drip a drop of Strawberry flavoring on my finger and taste it, it's yummy.
You can even put a drop on a teaspoon with Whipping Cream and mix it up to taste it.
But unfortunately when I vape Strawberry flavored juice it's just eww.
You could try going way down to 1-2%, and adding creams/vanillas/sweetener/etc.
Or mix with Kiwi, or Banana, etc.
Some people are just sensitive to certain flavors...
Don't get discouraged on the Strawberry, as many more flavors are great.
The Blueberry & Blackberry vapes taste better, for me, anyway.
And the Orange/Lemon/Lime (citrus types) work well for me too.

Capella's sweet strawberry is my favorite for the sweet, candy type flavor.
thanks everyone, Capella's sweet strawberry sounds like more of a candy flavor that I am looking for. It's not that the other strawberries are bad but its just not doing it for me. I will probably use them at 2-3% for more of an underlying flavor. Diying has been such a great experience.

wild strawberry by inawea. http://www.bullcityvapor.com/wild-strawberry-concentrate-inw/?page_context=search&faceted_search=0 taste like these candies I think
Bull city vapors is a great vendor, as soon as Caps sweet strawberry is in stock I will place a order. I will order a few different strawberries and compare. I'm trying to recreate a mothers milk/unicorn milk recipe. There is a bunch of recipes out there but none that was good enough to make again.
The flavor you are going for is probably going to require some development.
In the meantime while you are creating just the right combination to achieve this flavor profile...
Maybe try TFA Strawberries & Cream @ around 10% even consider using some EM or some TFA Cotton Candy at about 1-2%
Hope that helps!
P.S. I was chasing that flavor when I started DIY as well
Can't wait, woohoo!!haha I just about got MM whooped. pretty easy Ill probably through it in the recipes or stash it in a thread somewhere pretty soon
