I have been using TFA Sweet Raspberry. I would like to try the PUR but it is always out of stock when I go look.:(
If you ever catch it in stock buy a big bottle. Its the best raspberry I tried. Its a real one, not candied like TFA sweet RB and you never get the slight perfume like INW.

    I used the tfa raspberry for a long time and liked it well enough. The pur is pretty good too. I forget how many different strawberry flavors I have. I would say at least four or five.

    You know thinking about fading, the only flavors that I have that do not fade are from Flavor West. Single flavors like, juicy fruit, spearmint, bubble gum, skittles. In fact, they grow stronger with time if allowed to continue(storage). So does their Peanut Butter. When I first started DIY there wasn't a lot of flavorings available to the public so I just started with simple basic recipes. At least I had something to vape that I liked well enough. Using FW's standard suggested starting %(around 15%) seemed a bit high to me but allowed me to vape almost immediately. As time went on these flavorings kept getting stronger. So much so that I had to split in half to be able to continue to vape them. It happened around the time I was lowering my nic strength so it worked out well for me. Interesting that the new flavorings can be vaped with little steep time but seem to fade. I guess making large bottles(250+) with new flavors may not be such a good idea unless you are ok with boosting the flavor say in a 30ml bottle when transferring. Just thinking out loud....lol

    Are the FW flavors still the same or do they fade now.

    I think the same. I have not heard of any reformulation. Even with the unwanted chemicals. All FW finally agreed to do(under pressure from customers) was to have listings of what flavors contained the ones we did not want to vape. AFAIK they never reformulated anything.

    Might be worth it to try the raspberry. I thought I was set with the PUR but that didn't happen.:(

    That is too bad. I haven't tried FW raspberry. I will look around for reviews. I am interested also.

    I went to flavor west to look up reviews. 1 review and he raves about it. Bull city has mixed reviews. I don't recommend ordering directly from FW unless you want at least 4oz. That is the smallest size they sell. Good prices, but....bullcity has it in more reasonable sizes.

    here is a link, I though maybe you would like to look at their safety ratings for the flavor.-just scroll down the page. It seems now they are doing it on every flavor. Big improvement from the last time I visited them, a couple of years ago.

    In addition to PUR I have Raspberry in TFA, Cap and VT. Raspberry is one of the few fruits I like . I may try the FW and INW
    FW to me is really a fake candy raspberry and a touch to much and it gets chemical. Its also very dry to me. I would have to blend it with another raspberry to use it. JMHO

    Basically the pits because I was liking the Raspberry. I'm going to hang onto the mix for awhile to see if the raspberry will make a comeback. Tomorrow going to search out another mix I used the PUR raspberry in and try that. Never had much of a problem with strawberry.
