Sour Strawberry Candy (Bazooka Juice clone)

Fantastic and informative reply, thank you!

I have had a LOT about Inaweras Shisha Strawberry! Is it inherently sweet and fruity already..? Where would you recommend to get it from in the UK online if possible?

I have also read that Sucralose is the way forward for that sugary sweetness i'm after... Is this correct?

Yeah I feel as if I messed up by putting so much EM in . It was a nice 2% before, right at the start but i could still taste NOTHING so I kept notching it up and now it's just vulgar and tastes like chemicals lol.

Is not having Sucralose the simple reason these mixes are so bland then?

Glad to be of help
You can get the Inawera Shisha Strawberry at most online vendors.
I order from Chefs and Rainbow Vapes mostly.
The taste is more of a candy type strawberry but it is, IMHO, the best out there.
Like most fruits it benefits from a sucralose sweetener if you are chasing a candy taste.
If you want a natural fruit sweetness the use a stevia based sweetener.
EM doesn't give you the sugar lips type sweetness but it sort of sweetens the mix by taking the rough edges off it. Hope that makes sense? Try and keep the % low, 1% and below.
Almost all of the juices out there have sucralose in them
Some more than others like Elements range for instance.
I like a good sweet juice now and again so I am not precious about using high % in a mix.
I forgot to mention that a saline solution at a drop or 2 in 10ml can help flavours also one of the biggest mistakes we make when starting on our DIY journey is not leaving our mixes to steep.
You won't believe how much a flavour can change if left to steep properly.

And yet another fantastically informative post!

I am going to have to definitely obtain some of this INW Strawberry in this case.

Sucralose is definitely the sweet kind of taste I am after in that case!

I have looked in to steeping a lot and there is no doubt in my mind about the benefits of doing it, but because of the new regs I was looking to get started on a good and large batch of a Shake N Vape flavour I KNOW I will like and will last me a few weeks whilst i steep others. My challenge is just getting that shake and vape flavour to just POP and have that sweetness hit i'm looking for.
