Not all of these are fruits, but they are berry flavors.
All flavors mixed to percentage averages based on ELR or ATF if flavors are not present on ELR.
All mixes 0 nic 50/50pgvg
All aged 5 days (Except LA Raspberry, Over night and FLV Alpine Strawberry, shake and vape)
All tested on dual framed staple coils @.11 ohm, 50 Watts in a Tsunami 24

TFA Boysenberry
Throat Hit 3
Flavor 7
Accuracy 8
Boldness 9


Very potent, mildly sour unsweetened boysenberry flavor. earthy, tastes like a boysenberry juice concentrate. Not a main profile flavor.
Use it as a enhancer with other fruits, or 50/50 with creams. Pretty versatile flavor.


TFA Wild Blueberry

Throat Hit 2
Flavor 7
Accuracy 8
Boldness 5


Very slightly sour, earthy blueberry flavor. Not overwhelming in any sense, slightly waxy and watery, but a nice well rounded flavor.
Would add body to other berry and sour flavors.


INW Blueberry

Throat Hit 4
Flavor 4
Accuracy 7
Boldness 8


This flavor consists of blueberry's and blueberry leafs. Its very earthy, has a non chemical flowery taste. Slightly refreshing, almost minty from the leaves,
sweet undertones. would make a almost yogurt like taste with milk. Fruits, strawberries would work with this. graham cracker flavors Anything with spice to cut the
flowery taste. More potent than Wild Blueberry, but I completely separate flavor.


FW Capt. Crunch Berries
Throat Hit 5
Flavor 2
Accuracy 2
Boldness 8


Very slight hints of anything that has to do with cereal. Mostly wheat and card board, with some dust. Very mild fruit flavors almost unrecognizable if you aren't looking them.


CAP Cinnamon Blueberry Crumble

Throat Hit 5
Flavor 5
Accuracy 3
Boldness 7


Inaccurate description and flavors. Blueberry is more of a cheap blueberry bubblegum, cinnamon is closer to sugar and spice, and there is almost a faint peppermint candy flavor on the exhale. Very poorly done flavor.
The crumble is that of a pre packaged gas station "crumble" cake only worst, cinnamon and blueberry are sub par. Wouldn't mix this with anything but dairy flavors and sweetener.


Super Concentrates Blackberry
Throat Hit 2
Flavor 9
Accuracy 9
Boldness 7


Very full flavored, slightly bitter, extremely accurate black berry flavor. Well rounded, almost tastes creamy by itself. Not over powered, and not too light, I
would only need a small amount of cream to set this flavor off. Would work well in almost every combination. Hands down, best black berry I've tasted.


FW Blueberry
Throat Hit 3
Flavor 8
Accuracy 8
Boldness 8


under ripe blueberry flavor, slightly sour, very heavy but pleasant. perfect background note for sweeter lighter fruits like apple flavors,
should be the main flavor if mixing with creams near a 2 to 1 ratio. Will give a burnt taste if mixed with chocolates. Sweeter and less pronounced than Wild Blue berry
and INW Blueberry, but less pronounced.


INW Raspberry

Throat Hit 3
Flavor 9
Accuracy 9
Boldness 9


INW Raspberry is a very potent imitation raspberry flavor wish slightly flowery notes. Sweeter as a solo mix, more sour mixed with other flavors.
Must be used at very low percentages. Won't work with light creams.


CAP Harvest Berry

Throat Hit 4
Flavor 8
Accuracy 8
Boldness 8


Steeped the longest at two weeks, longer the steep the better the flavors work.
This is a fruit blend of blue berry's, black berry, strawberry and raspberry. The raspberry is most prominent along with the blue berry, and then the black berry.
The strawberry is very light. Flavors are closer to a fresh fruit, but slightly sweeter.


FW Blue Raspberry

Throat Hit 1
Flavor5
Accuracy 8
Boldness 1


Candy like blue raspberry, flavor close to that of a Warhead candy after the sour dissipates, only not nearly as sweet. Very simple flavor. light, weak. Would go be enhanced by
other sour flavors, or sweet flavors. But at 6% still not potent.


FLV Alpine Strawberry
Throat Hit 4
Flavor 10
Accuracy 10
Boldness 8


Mixed at .3% and a shake and vape, it's a spot on strawberry preserve, including seeds. The flavor is outstanding, it's bold seems can work with other flavors, but will
be the most prominent flavor.

FA Blackberry

Throat Hit 6
Flavor 6
Accuracy 3
Boldness 8


Sweet and floral, very earthy. Not much of a berry flavor, mostly stick flavor. Very heavy flavor. Not recommended for light fruits, creams, desserts. Possibly
For a strong drink flavor/teas.


TFA Bilberry

Throat Hit 2
Flavor 7
Accuracy 8
Boldness 6


Mildly tart bilberry, very vague earth tones, would make a good bitter tart dessert flavor with something like a Greek yogurt, or peanut butter. Will need
sweetener added for other dessert flavors or pairing with lighter fruits. Would work well unchanged with darker fruits.


CAP Raspberry

Throat Hit 3
Flavor 3
Accuracy 1
Boldness 2


Bland, mild tart, Bitter, dirty. Does not taste like raspberry. Would not use again.


TFA Acai

Throat Hit 5
Flavor 8
Accuracy 8
Boldness 8


Simultaneously tart with a hint of sweetness. Well rounded, nearly accurate acai berry flavor. Light and versatile, would work great
in many vapes as a secondary flavor or to balance out another tart flavor.


TFA Huckleberry

Throat Hit 4
Flavor 8
Accuracy 8
Boldness 7


Very tart candied huckleberry flavor. Less waxy than actual huckleberry's, less bitter also. faint earthy tones, would work well
with other berries, and sour or sweet vapes. Would not pair alone with creams. More tart than TFA Acai,


FA Forest Fruit
Throat Hit 3
Flavor 7
Accuracy 8
Boldness 7


Very accurate fruit mix. Tastes like black currant, hints of blackberry, raspberry, blueberry and possibly bilberry. The fruits flavors
are all "fresh" fruits and very well rounded. Slightly heavier flavor, a little woody. Would work well with almost any vape. Would pair well
With Acai or Bilberry.


LA Raspberry
Throat Hit 6
Flavor 6
Accuracy 4
Boldness 3


AVG mix was 15%, I did 10%. perfume if gone much higher. light flavor, almost week. very mild tartness. Almost no flavor lots of sweetness. I think people use it
just to make a juice pink or purple.

TFA Blueberry Xtra
Throat Hit 2
Flavor 6
Accuracy 7
Boldness 6


Earthy semi sweet blueberry-ish flavor with just a hint of tartness. Not spot in, but can tell its a blueberry. Not sweet enough to base a recipe around
it, not strong enough to really backup another berry. Might be good for giving a recipe a slight blueberry flavor.


Super Concentrates Blueberry


Throat Hit 6
Flavor 7
Accuracy 8
Boldness 6

Natural slightly under ripe blueberry, though not as tart as FW Blueberry. Heavy mouth feel, slightly overpowering. Very lightly floral. Mildly sweet. Would be
A good base for a recipe, but would not work well backing other fruits. Too pungeant unless matching FA/JF Fuji or INW Raspberry, or something along those lines.










EDIT: Added SC Blueberry

Is this the VZ-SC Blackberry brand from Bakersflavors/Russia?
From the good review it sure sounds like the same one...

Nope. Super Concentrates is a Chinese company sold at http://www.bullcityflavors.com/blackberry-sc/

Though I just ordered from VZ 2 days ago, notcharlesmanson told me to get the chocolate truffle and cream charlotte and if I didn't like them he will pay for them and shipping. So I got those and caramel and pitted cherries.

OK, I've heard rumors they were also made by Bakersflavors to China's specifications.
But maybe it was the VZ-SC flavors I heard that about, been awhile.

Been wanting to try those 2 myself as their Blackberry is awesome.
Hoping you'll let us know what you think about those 2 also...

At what % did you use this one? I've NEVER seen anyone say. Someone recommended it to me, only based on the actual fruit, which I've never tasted.

Now see? Those are the ones I thought BCF was carrying... didn't know there were 2. And I'm like you, I've heard both stories, that those are Bakers, and no they are not, so I have no idea which is true.

I was convinced before that it was the VZ-SC line when I looked at the Bakersflavors web site and they had identical flavor names.
But SC from BCV/BCF has one called Caramel Cream Puff, but so does VZ-SC, go figure.
Although I haven't seen Cream Charlotte or Chocolate Truffle yet at BCV/BCF.
Just bit the bullet last night and ordered the VZ-SC version to compare with the other one I have already.
And the other 2 along with it, stuff is way too pricey for 10ml.
Better deal buying direct I think...

All flavors are mixed based on ELR percentages. You've never tasted a huckleberry? Soo good. What do you mean you've never heard anyone say that?

VZSC gourmet and SC are different I'm pretty sure. We could always ask @Roundhouse though.

Obviously I can't speak for how or what VZ does but I've always heard their SC "gourmet" line was Baker's whereas their other SCs came from China - We don't have Baker's Flavors.

Yeah, the VZSC makes a few good flavors, but they're over priced and the packaging is shit, one of the bottles even has a broken dripper, and I only bought 4. 25% broken inventory is not good.
