Alright guys. Here it is. Been about 6-8 weeks in the making. I'm very happy with it like this, but still need to make some minor adjustments to get it to be as good as I really want it to be. All 3 flavors are well pronounced though and it just hits the spot so perfectly.
I've tried 6 different limes and tons of combinations thereof, this is my favorite so that you still get a pronounced flavor of raspberry and orange.
I've also tried 8 different oranges with variations there of. Lastly, the Raspberry, well, you guys probably won't have the raspberry I'm using here but you CAN sub for additional FA or INW, I just like mine the best out of all of my mixes. More details below.
Regarding the Raspberry:
BB = Brewer's Best, I picked it up at my local home brew shop, you might be able to order directly through their website. It is a PG based flavor, it's rather weak but I really like it's lack of sweetness, try with either 0.5% FA or 2.5% TFA Sweet Raspberry, alternatively or use 2% INW Raspberry instead.
Regarding the Lime:
This combination worked best for me but you can try using TFA Key Lime instead. For awhile I think I liked it that way better, but after adjusting the percentages and using more INW it made more sense to go with this combination.
Regarding the Orange:
FA's Orange is rather weak, hence the addition of their strong Mandarin flavor. TFA's Orange Cream is unusually strong for TFA and works wonderfully here.
FA Tutti Frutti - Well I added it and it tastes good, you'd hardly notice it with it out.
Koolada at a tiny percentage doesn't really cool it much, maybe a smidge, it's hardly noticeable but it helps the fruits to stand out a little this way. Citric Acid is the same purpose, helps the fruits to stand out as individuals rather than blend together. You can source Citric Acid locally via a grocer, health food store, local brew shop. Alternatively, Nude Nicotine carries it pre-mixed in 10ml or 30ml options (I think those were it). To get a 10% solution you'll want to use 1/4 tsp per 10ml PG or 1g per 9g of PG. A lot of people recommend heating to get it to mix, I prefer just strapping the bottle to my sawsall and holding the trigger for 45 seconds. You do NOT want 'ball' citric acid as it typically contains some sort of preservative that's not safe to vape. A pound of CA locally will run you $4-7 and will last a lifetime.
Sweetener and Cotton candy to add just a little more sweetness as it was slightly tart without it.
Any questions ask away. I understand you may need to order some flavors to re-create this, but I wish you luck!
