Let's talk about "Blue Raspberry"

Has anyone tried Liquid Barn Blue Raspberry? At 8% stand alone and a little koolada, its the closest I’ve tried to the " slushie" flavor.

If you like Blue Slushie by Keep It 100, I think I made a close clone to it. Not 1 for 1, but close enough.

I haven’t given up Lexie, but I haven’t made much progress. I’ve been crazy busy and can barely manage to get into my mixing room to even fill my personal unicorns off of the master batch tap. I might be able to get in there for a little while tonight.

I work 12-14 hours a day and have so many irons in the fire it’s getting depressing lol. I have been able to think about this a lot lately and I think I’m going to approach it from two angles. One will be blending 2 B.R. concentrates together and the other will be to make my own B.R. from different components. The more time that passes and the more I think about this project the longer my shopping list gets.

Have not tried the juice but I would suggest Sour TPA which is malic acid.

This is why the blue raspberry profile is so elusive. We can do a sweet candied raspberry all day, but trying to get that mouth-puckering sour bite is where it gets tricky.

Common sense would be to add malic or citric acid as they do in actual B.R. candies. But it just doesn’t seem to translate like we want it to in vapor form. Some of the most revered B.R. commercial liquids fall short here too. Many people will admit they don’t “taste” the sour aspect, even when “sour” is in the liquids name and description.

You would probably have better luck with a secondary flavor that possesses a strong sour/tart note that occurs from other compounds other than pure citric/malic. If you read up in this thread ADK suggested pomegranate for just that purpose. Others you may want to think about would be green apple, apricot, cranberry, etc.

It is true! At least in my case. I bought "sour franboesa blue candy from WF, and I think that mixing 7% of green Apple with 7%, strawberry ripe and 2% of dragonfruit, I get a sour taste …

Seeing how there isn’t any silver bullet (not yet anyway), I think the best we can hope for is tricking our palates (or olfactory) into something we perceive as “sour”.

I tried this one some time ago. It was good for a change, but I’d better stick to soething else.

I wouldn’t place much value on the recipe or idea behind it either for a number of reasons. Posted for reference, resource & content.

Hello, old thread! I’ve just been poking around about this flavor, and think this is a very informative article on its advent.

Banana, Pineapple and Cherry components seem to be in the original.

And, it seems that it is just artificial Raspberry with Blue No. 1.

I’m on a blue Raspberry /cotton candy kick myself, and just can’t seem to get a recipe going that doesn’t have an oily after taste.

This RFSC Blue Raz-centric recipe came out great for a quick steeper. I’m dropping it here for future topic searchers :smile: instead of a recipe thread.

Steep 1 to 5 days. It made me go oooooh on my ride home from work.

I really wanted to put the Rasperry back in Blue Raz, since that is what the original flavor was. Raspberry flavor + Blue #1 + Syrup

Black Raspberry NF is very, very good, but super potent. Less than 0.5% is great. It has the wild earthy zing of a true fresh Raspberry.

Wild Raspberry MF, I kept super low so it can add that sophisticated realness without needing a month to develop.

Raspberry RFSC is kind of a 1 part candy/2 parts real Raspberry, might have some EM(?) But very good on it’s own at 3%

Blue Raz RFSC is just a fantastic Blue Raz. At 3-4% it can stand on its own, but I wanted to give it a push.

I made this for a friend who needed a quick steeper (his last name is Deville). It was designed with MTL on a Berserker, 30/70 6mg in mind, so it’s extra vivid, but mine works happily at 15/85, 2mg at 75 watts on a dual coil RDA.

There ya go!

Update: 10 days steeped and staying strong, getting more “Blue Razzy.”

Update #2: 23 days…Holy Awesomness! This is freaking delicious! I might try upping the MF WR, but just to see what happens. If anyone is on the hunt for a killer Blue Raz, don’t give up til you try this.

I am a huge fan of blue raspberry and I have been looking for an ADV recipe that is blue raspberry heavy. My favorite premium blue raspberry juice is cloud nurdz peach blue razz and I really wish I could recreate it. I’ve made dozens of batches and nothing comes even remotely close. I’m sure cloud nurdz is loaded with sweetener. (which I am trying to avoid except for EM/marshmellow).
