@Koolkiz what does the Jammy Berry taste like to you? Blackberry? Or is it more like boisenberry or a raspberry kind of berry?
Mostly blueberry and raspberry notes then blackberry and strawberry. It does have a overall jam flavor and not overtly sweet. It is not a dry vape and perfectly blended. It is sweet and jammy and does not need sweetener (my thoughts). The 4 berries are blended well in this flavoring.

    I have the Jammy Berry but been afraid to mix with it so far. How sweet would you say it is?

    When my mini is empty I'm going to try my H.Primed/chocolate mix.
    My HP/Choco didn't work so well. Unless I load my NETs up with DCC or Chocolate Chunks I can't get enough of the chocolate component to work. All the other chocolates are either way too weak or just have an offputting flavor. And I've worked with at least a dozen chocolates. While I like DCC and Chocolate Chunks it is not the magic I'm looking for. You (others) maybe like it more than me. I'm currently working with the Black Cavendish to see how these chocolates are working with that. I'm also just beginning to experiment using chocolate with a bit of cocoa. I'm actually testing that in a milkshake. Cocoa on it's own is horrid. But maybe it interacts with chocolate better. I'm trying.

    It's hard to define. I'm one who doesn't like sickly sweet vapes I would say it is mild on the sweetness. However, it has enough for a jammy flavor. I'm on my third bottle.

    I used the Australian so I have hope.

    Thanks Kool. Almost reminds me of those "mixed fruit" little square jam packets you find in restaurants and truck stops. I just ordered a bottle from Flavorah, sounds delicious.
    I hope you like it. I love it. I'm mostly a tobacco flavor lover but jammy berry is my favorite. I have been mixing since late 2010 and went though a ton of different fruit flavorings. I have settled on this as a main rotation in my mixing. I still like simple mixing.

    My son said my chocolate banana pie stinks. :?: He says the premades I bought smell like cap'n crunch berry cereal. :thumb: I'm thinking about picking up some more of those cheap premades at ejuicesteals.com. It's nice sometimes to not worry about mixing.

    I leave early from work today for a dental appointment...I have a small cavity. :unsure: I'm off tomorrow to take Dad for his heart stress test. And I'm also taking Friday and Monday off to have a 4 day weekend to work outside on my house since it's supposed to be sunny and no rain. So much rain lately...today too. I'm going to yank up some old plants, pressure wash my siding, cut grass, etc. So much to do.

    :banana:

    I'll have to get the jammy berry back out and try it solo. I bought it for one recipe and didn't end up liking the recipe. I also have VT jam it but haven't done much with it.
    I should try a sft on it.

    Can someone give me a mixing %?

    @DLKnives - About your earlier question you asked:

    Fa = Using an upper case F and lower case letter a....is how some vendors label The Flavor Apprentice flavorings, that they rebottle and sell. The letters are usually in a small, bluish/gray, square (depends on the ink color used for the label printing) with Flavor Apprentice in teeny tiny letters below it.

    FA = With both letters upper case...is Flavour Art

    TFA or TPA = Both mean The Flavor Apprentice flavoring
    Yep. Some of my TFA/TPA have Fa on the bottle. It was confusing me when I was sorting my juices to put them away. I literally had to get my phone out and zoom in on some of the bottles to see the tiny writing showing the brand name. :2cool:

    More info from BCF on EM and AP:

    Acetyl Pyrazine AP is typically used to enhance tobacco flavors or to bring out a nutty or bready note. However it is very strong and not very forgiving so start by adding just a drop to your mix - add too much and your juice may end up tasting like corn chips! Recommended to start testing at 0.5% to base or less and adjust to taste.

    Ethyl Maltol EM helps round out flavors, reduce sharp notes and adds sweetness as you add more in your mix.

    AP for tobacco...I didn't know that.

    Looks like a run down to Olympia for us, after that, well,

    I am between Olympia and Tacoma. Since there are no grocery stores, drug stores, etc. where we live, I have the option to go north or south when I need to shop. This is an odd little town, but good for people stationed at JBLM. I will be back in Virginia permanently in 3 more months!!!!!
