I can see where the Dark Fire will be a nice once in awhile vape solo. Not sure how it will play with fruit but I have one mixed to try.
Don't think I'd want Dark Fire to be a fruit vape. Doesn't make sense to kill all the flavor in the dark fire. But I will add just enough fruit to lubricate it...to temper it and make it less dry/rich and more durable. I don't want the fruit to take it over.

    I used 1 1/4% INW Black Currant and 1 1/4% INW Raspberry. I don't think that will overpower the Dark Fire.

    @Bronze I didn't put much of the plain Dark Fire in my tank so I'll be trying the fruit mix soon.

    I'm looking at fruit levels below 1%. But then I don't write the rules. Give the 1.25 + 1.25 a shot and see what it does for you. You've had it plain and then you'll have it at 2.5%. That should bracket it and you can adjust accordingly from there if necessary. I don't know anything about either of those fruits so I have no idea how quickly it will impact the flavor. I know my FW Raspberry gets to work quickly but the FA Raspberry does not. Never had black currant (yet). I suspect that would compliment dark fire well.

    My mistake. Those fruits went in a Honduran recipe. My Black Fire/Fruit recipe has only 1 1/2 % INW Black Currant.

    Dark Fire. I never vaped black currant. If it's anything like the edible version I would think it would go well with Dark Fire. Is INW generally strong or weak (or medium) concentration?

    Yes. I keep making that mistake :lol: INW flavors are mostly strong, some medium. It's not my general practice to sft fruits but I have found the Black Currant not very sweet and I like the flavor. The 1 1/2 % seems to be perfect. Imparts the fruity taste without having any big effect on the Dark Fire.

    I don't have the INW but have FA. I wonder if that would be any good? What is the flavor of the Dark fire like solo? I keep seeing you two talk about it and have been thinking about ordering it.

    I’m not good at describing flavors.I’m sure Bronze can describe better. It’s a strong NET, good flavor.

    I understand. I'm not great at explaining flavors either. Maybe @Bronze will jump in here and give a description.
