Strawberry Cheesecake Mix Very dry tasting ?

[mxethey]

Trying to mix up a strawberry cheesecake and it's coming up very dry tasting, any suggestions  please
The mix is

10% strawberry shortcake chefs vapour rebranded
1%   strawberry dedacant vapors
2%   bavrin cream tpa
2%   new york cheesecake chefs vapour rebranded
1%   ethyl maltol

About 80vg/20pg 6mg
About a week and a half steep time

Try 1% vodka, I find it helps lift a mix quite well, I now put it in all my mixes.

Also looking at it you have 12% of concentrates with a biscuit element in, I find these dry, you could try reducing them and upping the strawberry and Bavarian Cream.

Try using a Sucralose based sweetener rather than Ethyl Maltol perhaps . . . . the sweetness will help counterbalance the dryness you're getting mxethey.

EM I don't find that effective as a sweetener myself and at 1% you're getting very little from it.

No, just remembering when you first started mixing, and already you are offering good advice to others... you have learnt well!

Thanks for that perpetua something like stevia if so would you know what one to get

The rebranded range concentrates are recommended at around 4% so could be you've added to much flavour. I've tried a couple from that range and they are very strong. Is this a recipe of your own making or did you get it from somewhere?

Not a fan of Stevia either mxethey . . . I find it leaves an aftertaste.

Perhaps try UKFlavours sucralose based sweetener, great price for 30ml including postage.

It is my own recipe, i find the strength to be fine for flavor it's just the dry taste that i can't master at the moment. Bit like a very hoppier beer that as no body
Also you know when you have a red wine and it's full of tannins and leaves your tongue like sandpaper

So im thinking a concentrate flavor that's sweeter with body to tie it together rather than just sucrose 
Any clues guys
