I was eating this blueberry thing then ate some banana and it was good. Does blueberry banana e juice work? Anyone ever tried that? I have a good blueberry mix.

I think a blueberry/banana cheesecake would be heavenly!

I can see adding a little bit of sweetener or em, but seems like both would be overkill, just my opinion.

I hope it doesn't mute the BBwild! I have so much trouble getting that flavor to stand out in recipes it kills me. I've tried every % from 4-15% and all sorts of tricks that work well with boosting other fruits, but blueberry is the one that always seems weak and easily overpowered.

My all time favorite eliquid is from from Steam Factory, a juice called "Blue Ballz." It's Blueberry with a hint of Banana. A VU member posted a clone of it in these forums and I actually have it steeping right now. I hope it's close!



I made it with less EM because I seem to be hypersensitive to it.

Don't leave it steep too long cause the EM will mute the flavors after a week IMO.

I'm with Teresa P, I'd try it without any sweetener and maybe 0.5% EM.

I'm with vodevil on finding Blueberry to be too subtle a flavor.
Love it, just wish I could find one that pops.

And I find banana to be quite overpowering.
So my first though on seeing the thread title was... hell no. :p

But then I remembered a link from either Teresa or Amanda (I think)...

They say yes, they do pair up.

You can amplify it a bit by using 5% TFA Blueberry Wild + 5% FW or CAP Blueberry.
And/Or add 0.5-1% VZ-SC / FW / CAP / FE Blackberry.

I don't have that tfa blueberry favor. I have FA bilberry, FW blueberry and diyfs blueberry. I find mixing FW and diyfs together to be nice. I like it better than fa alone and had a more rounded blueberry flavor. I used 0.75% of each FW and diyfs. It does need to steep and could be a little stronger. To strengthen I would probably leave diyfs the same and increase FW to 1%. FA is hit or miss due to is strength. Your tastes may differ. I also don't use sweetner. I use rda's only.

10% blueberry. I must have bionic taste buds or there is some muting going on. Does banana mute blueberry?

Banana at the wrong percentage (depending on the vendor) can take over any mix. And some build momentum as they steep. Start low.

I just got my Inawera banana and pineapple a few days ago, hoping they're better than FA. Last mix I used FA banana in tasted like burnt sweat socks....:confused:

Throw some custard in there for a heavenly Vape.
I didn't care too much for FA banana but TFA banana cream is really nice. Going to have to try it with FW blueberry

I'm about to make my first pineapple recipe. I would be interested in hearing your opinion on the Inawera brand when you use it.
Imo it's horrible. I couldn't do it. I've found TFA to be the juiciest sweetest one yet. I've tried 5 or 6 brands and most are harsh. Just my 2 cents and some others had success with the other brands.

Funny you should say this as I mixed those two combinations exactly like your post, 5% each in two different samples. I read somewhere around here that coconut can boost blueberry so I mixed a blueberry wild at 12% with FA coconut at 0.5% to see if it helps at all. I'll find out in a few days!

I normally use the FA Coconut to add a creamy/buttery effect.
Might be better to use a bit of Lemon or Dragon Fruit IMO.

I have TFA's dragon fruit sitting in my stash completely untouched, maybe I'll give it a try this afternoon. Any recommendation on %'s?
