I vape mostly fruit recipes and try any new fruit flavor in a small 5ml w/o mic mix to get to know the flavor (basically mix 5% flavor with 70vg/30pg nic free premix I make). I can honestly say there hasn't been a flavor I couldn't finish the 5ml but plenty I wouldn't do a bigger batch with.

The only single fruit flavor I do mix (30ml bottles) is 10% Inawera Orange. I really like the orange flavor, sometimes add 2% Koolada with it for something a little different. If I could find a good gin flavor, maybe add a little champagne, could make a nice orange gin and tonic type flavor (orange with gin is my favorite).

For a single concentrate, multi-fruit blend; I like:

FA Forrest Fruit has been a winner for me. It is a good blend of berries (blue, straw, rasp, boysen, black, ?). It is a bit tart on its own, but plays great with simple additions like bakery, creams, custards, sweeteners, and even tobacco. It is strong, so use with a light hand. 2-4% is usually ample. You can also add a berry of your choice to bring that berry note to the front.

INW Pinacolada (yes; they spell it as one word) is a good pineapple/coconut blend that is good as a stand-alone at 6% for me. It has the best balance of the pineapple and coconut (one not overpowering the other), and has a slight creaminess to it. Some descriptions also mention a hint of rum, but if it is there, I can't detect it. Again, this flavor plays well with other additions; like orange, mango, guava, and creams.

Well at least someone understood single flavour fruit mix... looking more for a fruit cocktail kinda vape. Forrest mix is in my near future for a berry mix for sure, have you tried huckleberry? I don't know what it is or what it tastes like but I love it.

Well, to be honest, when your title said "Best Fruit Mix?"...that left the reader to ask themselves if by that you actually meant:

(1) a highly rated single fruit flavoring...mixed with your own PG, VG, and Nic base added?

OR

(2) an actual "Fruit Mix" meaning an all-in-1 combination of several fruit flavorings...that someone considered the best one to add to their PG, VG, and nic base?

When your first sentence then began with, "Single flavour not a recipe..." it made it even further unclear to some, I'm sure. "Single flavour" to most means just that...a single flavor, not a blend. That is exactly why I chose not to respond with any ideas myself.

Yeah I seen that by the replys lol. Surprised someone got it right... sort of. I should have said fruit cocktail mix, not thinking berries are fruits too.

For a Single Flavoring, this is Very Tasty...

Hawaiian Drink Flavor Concentrate by TFA (1oz)

... If you like Ice Cold Hawaiian Punch on a warm summer day that is.
I was going to try that ages ago but sales rep told me it had pineapple... maybe that was FW. If its like I thought from the picture they supply (red hawaiian punch) I'll check it out for sure.

I was Very Surprised how close it is to the original Hawaiian Punch drink. A Very Refreshing taste.

That is, when a Sweetener like this is used with it.

Started using 4-5 drops of CAP Super Sweet per 10ml couple months ago. Love it but hate changing cotton and dry burning 1mm of gunk off my coils every 3-4 days lol.

What is a good starting % ?
Thanks

I would call TFA Hawaiian Drink a middle-of-the-road flavoring for Strength of the TFA line. 8% Flavoring with 1 ~ 2 Drops of TFA Sweetener/10ml might be a Good 1st Mix for most people.

One thing also about it, it is a Forgiving Flavor. And has a Much Higher threshold of getting that Meh Chemical taste when too much Flavoring is used.

have you tried huckleberry? I don't know what it is or what it tastes like but I love it.
As, I live in Idaho, where the state fruit is the huckleberry; I am required by state law to answer "Yes!";)
It looks a lot like a blueberry, and can be red, to purple, to blue in color; and kinda-sorta-but-not-really tastes like a blueberry... but different. I hope that clears things up for you; they're clear as mud for me!:D

So... just for clarification,
You are looking for individual flavor concentrates that:
I should have said fruit cocktail mix, not thinking berries are fruits too.
DON'T contain berries (?)
I was going to try that ages ago but sales rep told me it had pineapple...
and DON'T contain pineapple (?)

The term "fruit cocktail" makes me think of the canned Del Monte-type stuff; that is usually something like pears, peaches, and pineapple, with a few peeled grapes, and a couple of maraschino cherry halves; all in lots of heavy sweet syrup.

Anything else you can think of, that might help us zero in on, more useful suggestions? Or am I all screwed up now? (The state of confusion is my normal "resting state.":facepalm:) :D

Yeah pineapple is fine if you cant taste it lol. Berries are fine too just not a pure berry mix. Rep made it sound like Hawiaan punch was strong pineapple. Looks like I'll be better off just buying the 5 or so available or listing the fruit mixes available since your so confused. TFA Tutti-Fruity was one.

"kinda-sorta-but-not-really tastes like a blueberry" yeah thats how I'd describe it lol.. maybe bitter or tart as well.
