Fruit Flavors - Share Your Experiences

I am always partial to TFA Black Cherry at 11% with TFA Bavarian Cream at 4% with 1% Ethyl Malto

Mm that sounds good. I never knew what the 'colored' fruits taste like (ex black cherry vs cherry or blue raspberry vs raspberry). Figured it was the fruit + another fruit like black cherry = blackberry with cherry. Am I completely wrong?

 

[SouthernBliss]

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. There is a type of cherry called black cherries. On the other hand I think blue raspberry is a combination of blueberry and raspberry. Though to be honest as a kid I was pretty sure that blue raspberry just meant that they had used a different food coloring because it tasted the same to me.

My latest berry mix; all flavors are TFA except for the (CAP) Raspberry:

Nic Base Strength 48 mg
Nic Final Strength 12 mg
Mix PG-VG Ratio (%) 80-20
Mix Volume 15 ml

NicBase 48% PG PG 3.75 ml
PG 5.15 ml
VG 3 ml

F1 Strawberry Ripe 8% 1.2 ml
F2 Blueberry Extra 6% 0.9 ml
F3 Raspberry 4% 0.6 ml
F4 Vanilla Swirl 1% 0.15 ml
F5 Marshmallow 0.5% 0.07 ml
F6 EM 0.25% 0.04 ml
F7 Black Cherry 0.5% 0.07 ml
F8 Koolada 0.5% 0.07 ml
1 Drop Real Lemon juice per 5ml

My wife is pretty satisfied with this recipe. She says it's not quite as good as the one we were buying, but it's close and good enough. I have a hard time tasting the fruit recipies, so I'm having to develop this based almost entirely on her input. With the little I can taste, it's a tad heavy on the Strawberry, and could also use some bottom end or background filler. I tried the last of the target version and now think there's a bit of watermelon in it, so I've got a vial of TFA watermelon on order and should be able to check it out next week.

Koolada at .5% is just enough to lend a cold feeling when inhaled; it's a near-perfect percentage for both of us.


There's plenty of room for improvement with this one, however the immediate need for a DIY fruit mix has been filled. I'll keep playing with it and will see where it leads.

Something that is almost, but not quite, off topic to fruits just popped into my head. When we make cherry pie we always use just a tiny bit of almond to make the cherry pop. I know its been a tricky fruit for people and I was wondering if anyone had tried that.

 

[michaelsil1]

Has anyone found a just fell out a pie Strawberry?

I'm already familiar with Capella Sweet Strawberry and TFA Strawberry (Ripe)

 

[Fenris4024]

I'd have to highly recommend the Capella's fruits... I've been on a search for a while now for that "perfect" peach flavor, and to me, the peaches and creme that they sell is dead on fresh sweet peach. I added maybe one drop per ml to my current tonacco base (double RY4, TFA) and just WOW. I mix the RY4 Double at teh recommended 15%, and this has steeped about two weeks already, so it was already a good vape, but this peach just knocks it outta the park!

I normally vape maybe 2-3mls a day (12mg and 6mg when its getting closer to sleepytime) and after doing a small 5ml test batch of this, I vaped nearly all of it in one day, it was that good!

The Sweet Tangerine is also a big time winner, but I can't comment as to it tank meltingness, as I've only used it in glass delivery devices (Protanks, mostly). If anyone knows if the cap's tangerine is safe for polycarb, lemme know! (The protanks just don't seem to "do it" for me really.. too airy of a draw, even with EVOD heads in them)

Sweet Strawberry and the Sweet Watermelon have been likewise awesome to use, both as mixers and standalones. I need to try their grape still, and the Harvest Berry mix they carry. I generally mix the Watermelon and Strawberry together a lot as well, adding a hint of menthol... its very similar to Mt. Baker's Thug juice if you've ever had that (but better in my opinion)

Sorry if I came across as a cap-head, but I've been simply blown away by the quality and depth of flavor that they have....

I do like the Capella's Peaches and Cream and Sweet Strawberry and Strawberry and Cream. Tangerine was good but strong so I added coconut and sweet cream. Much better that way.

I also have their grape and golden pineapple and haven't tried it yet. Hope I like it.

VZ super concentrated pineapple and grape are very good.

Coconut and Tangerine go together, I will give that a try. Are you saying a little bit of Coconut?

 

[Faylool]

I tried 3 Mangos until I found Vaping Zone Super Concentrate Gourmet. So I can safely recommend it and it's great solo. I use from 4-6 % no overdose perfume or chemical probs. it's recommended 1%. Ive added it to things to "fix" them. So far it's a throat hitter for me too

 

[Caridwen]

I should have measured~! I just added a couple drops of coconut and a couple drops of sweet cream.

Where did you get your tangerine?

Capella's Sweet Tangerine

 

[DeeDee1234]

tfa pineapple is good at 10% or mixed with a tangerine or strawberry.
tfa tutti fruity as a backup player
tfa hi punch as a mixer

 

[bace a flunt]

capellas sweet strawberry- 15-20% (overpowering when mixed with other fruits, atleast at 5% I need to play with it more)
capellas blueberry- 15-20%
capellas sweet watermelon- 15%
Capellas harvest berry- 15-20%, very strong when mixing. 1 drop per ml with other fruits and you will only taste harvest berry. Good but lacking.
TFA Blueberry candy- 11%
Vaping zone blackberry- 1 drop per ml very tasty but a bit bitter. Accurate.
VZ strawberry 1 drop per ml- very bland, tastes almost like a strawberry smoothie- I imagine it is a good mixer
VZ mandarin- 1 drop/ml, tastes like orange. A bit lacking in depth.
VZ blueberry@ 1drop/ml- doesn't have that sweet tasty blueberry taste like ellas and the candy
ECX blueberry- very strong, has a bitter taste like VZ, I'm not a fan. 1 drop per 5ml has a lot of flavor
FA Billberry- basically the same as ecx. Very potent.

LA fruits- all of them are MEH

My favorites: capellas sweet strawberry, capellas blueberry, capellas sweet watermelon, TFA Blueberry candy

I was never a fruit vaper once in a while i'd vape a Cap strawberry mix then I tried Cap green apple, cranberry and banna. I'm vaping crapple right now and I have a caramel apple in another PV and a chocolate banana in another.

 

[Aheadatime]

I really appreciate all the input. Taking notes and will report back with experiments in the near future. I first need to replace my nic and restock on syringes/bottles, the never-ending DIY vacuum of needs.

Has anybody tried FA Lychee? After googling what exactly a lychee is, it sounds enticing to vape, but I have no idea where to start.

 

[Chiku]

VZ super concentrates, and the gourmet super concentrates are my favourites. VZ gourmet strawberries is my absolute favourite, at 1%. Sweet, without being too sweet, and a mouth watering flavour (not the strawberry - that one I didn't enjoy). The SC blackberry is also great, I like it at 1.5%.

I also make one with .75% strawberries and .25% blackberry. Adds a nice tartness to the strawberries. For me it works great for when my taste buds are a little off (cinnamon vapes are great for that too).

My other faves are the apple cinnamon, new duchess pear and watermelon, all VZ.

For Capella's I love the sweet tangerine at 15%, and I like 5% sweet strawberry mixed with 5% cinnamon Danish swirl. Musts adds a nice hint of fruit.

I haven't personally tried that flavor, but I do enjoy FA tobaccos.

Thanks a lot.
I'm an idiot. I've searched everywhere and everything to make a FA flavors list.

 

[Faylool]

I heard FA is potent. I have a lychee and it's potent flavor but not not in a bright way. It's a little difficult to explain but when I used it I know I put too much in even though it didn't ruin anything, it simply dominated. It's not a in your face flavor but it dominated the other two flavors....lime and and coconut and that seems hard to do in my minds eye. Play with it. It's special.

When the funds allow, I will definitely play with it. I was intrigued after watching one of Busardo's recent juice reviews in which he tried a peach-lychee juice and said it was incredible. I've never even tasted the real thing lol.
