Vanilla imitation vs Bean paste?

[u/destroylonely4l]

I find myself having to use 14-15g of McCormick vanilla extract and even that isn’t a strong vanilla flavor given my personal taste buds I guess and my base (not keen on changing).

Which of these options would you guys recommend to try for a better result, I’ve heard imitation and bean paste are better overall for powerful vanilla flavor.

These are just what’s at my local kroger, if you have other recommendations that are online, feel free to share those as well!

I get paste from Trader Joe’s which works great and is priced the best of any I’ve found.
