This isn't an "all fruit" recipe; but I find it quite "fruity." It is @Capt.shay's Berry Berry Good:
Berry Berry Good
4% Forest Fruit (FA)
6% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA)
2% Marshmallow (TFA)
1% Raspberry Sweet (TFA)
0.5% Strawberry Ripe (TFA)

I find the VBIC, and MM, to not be brand-dependent, so sub whatever you like or have on hand. The secondary fruits (RS, and SbR) are there to bring forward those flavors out of the Forest Fruit medley. They can easily be subbed out for any berries one cares to highlight. I have played with misc. blueberry, blackberry, black currant, raspberries, and strawberries. All have worked.

It is quite a versatile recipe, that doesn't need a lot of time to mature... about a week to 10 days usually works for me.

I made that last summer. It was okay just didn’t blow me away.I might have to try it again though. I’d probably prefer a slightly higher flavor percentage lol!

If you like floral stuff like honeysuckle and such it would probably be great. Dont get me wrong, its a darn good vanilla. Probably the best one out there. Would I pay to order just that. NO, I would just sub INW. I do have it but only cause there holy holy RY4 is awsome.

Shake and vape or steep? Do flavors really mingle so quickly that shake and vape truly “works”?

In my short experience (13 months) all could use some steeping even the fruits even if it’s just for a few days imo anyways. Doesn’t mean I actually do that though lol!!

Forest fruit is kind of dark, it might be good tweaked with a little FW blueberry, touch of billberry and boysenberry. Darn, now Im thinking again

I don’t have holy vanilla, and I’m not sure from its description there’s a good sub. I have everything else. Ideas?

Hangsen Vanilla- That’s what I use as a sub for Holy Van

Great idea I’ve got 2 of this 3. No boysenberry. Maybe I’ll try with bilberry. Thanks!

    Somewhere between here and there
    I was suddenly up to six flavors again on my wishlist. There were some very common ones like blackberry that I never bought so I went ahead and placed a small order. I used our ECF6 code.

    I didn’t care for the zenith I bought. The .5 coil flooded constantly and the other one would too after sitting overnight.

    I use the 0.5 coil at 16.7W. I have never had any of the issues you mentioned. Could be vaping style difference — I really do not know.


    I did wonder if the cotton would influence the flavor unduly. I'm just looking for any easy way to test, since I'm limited to Zeniths and two bridgeless atomizers that I'm not too expert in using. I mean, if I need to use a clean tank and fresh coil for each testing, that'll add up to lot of washing up. Plus there's the matter of breaking in a coil. I suppose I could dedicate a tank to each mix-in-progress and empty the tank after each test and pop the tank into a Zip-Loc till the next test. And get more used to the bridgeless atomizers, too.

    I think so. I do not use the Zenith to test flavors and/or recipes. I use them only with the couple of tobacco flavors I vape. When I prepare a new coil and let it sit for a couple days I also leave the JFC open (forgot to mention this before). Maybe I have been lucky but no issues whatsoever.

    I have huckleberry but not bilberry. What does bilberry taste like? Do you use the fa one?
    Yes I use the Fa one. It's kinda like a brighter blueberry to me. I usually mix it with Blueberry or Huckleberry.
