Let's talk about "Blue Raspberry"

One of my favorites came from OneStopDiy BlueRapberry Slush but it’s been years since I’ve mixed that flavor.

This is definitely true. I used to exclusively MTL vape radiator pluid for years but after switching to a sub ohm tank I now can’t stand it and am sitting on 20 + bottles of it lol

I really want to get my hands on this flavor (almost bought it yesterday) but I don’t like that it is only available on OSDIY’s website. I will get it eventually.

I wrote a big post about how I will share all my bases, flavors, notes, and with the help of the community maybe we can compare notes and bust out a few renditions of blue raz as everybody has their own idea what it was. Something like Straight up Slush, Heavy syrup, and then iterations of stuff that probably 90% of flavorings that people don’t have or maybe can’t get.

I deleted the post because I said that I’ll start soon, as I was living and taking care of a family member with Stage 4B cancer and it looked like it was coming to an end soon and then when I get my own place then I can get back to mixing because the past 6-8 months I’ve mixed less since I raged quit over 3 years ago.

I got my own place now, but things are still up and down, to ER visits 2 times this past week but then on the flip side the CT scan showed that the new chemo is working, which is kind of an oxy moron, but 3+ years when they said 6 months isn’t bad… CBD helped tremendously btw. So I’m not settled yet and still have more unpacking and still have a few weeks until everything is settled, like maybe getting a mop or something :slight_smile:

To the point, I just got my own place in the middle of the month as I got crazy lucky to get this awesome apartment due to somebody leaving due to an emergency and it comes with it’s own “vaping station” as my Aunt called it, and she was correct because unlike most who will use it to put a laptop on it or do actual work, I could sit on the floor and do that instead. It’s a thick granite slab (thank god it’s not wood as cactus will absorb the scent forever) and big enough to fit everything I need including a light right above it. I’ll take a pic later.

So if you if you saw that long post and wonder why I took it down things were so up in the air and I was looking at a places as I needed to as it’s been a year, but now other family members are helping and it’s time for hospice/nursing home too, so finally I’ll get back into the swing of things, and then crank this thread up again.

I’ll send the 67% VG (you have to switch the ELR calulator btw to vg instead of pg) weak ass flavor of the week in slush I think as the only reason I know it’s that is due to the smell because the label is 100% unreadable. I’d send it out but to somebody too but I have about 15ml left and might need it once we get the ball rolling and I might need it if we are trying out different iterations of flavors that some others don’t have, plus I don’t want to go to their site and get it again, but I think chefs and others have it possibly now too. Not going to happen with LB Blue Raspberry, there is no way in a million years I could see that working with anything ever and I may have tossed the last bit of it which was years old.

Apex single handed put Slush on the map due to his Blue Frost and then V2, and funny when I talked to him about 2 months ago about what he’d change in his mix it was the Slush, but due to help with some heavy hitters there was some outside of the box stuff that was used and that is what you need to do because 95% of ALL the blue raz flavors have no innovation at all and that is what it takes.

It’s good that I’m starting out fresh too because I got way way way too burnt out, but I do that all the time as I got to one profile or flavor and beat it to death like I just did with grapes and have way too damn many and now Watermelon I’m finally tackling but with blue raz it’s always been in the background with too many iterations and flavors and combos to count. So I haven’t gone at it hard core the past 8 months or so, but of course I picked up tons of new flavors to make about 200,000 new different iteration combos now.

I haven’t tested out the Flavor Monks Raspberry or Blackberry yet which both are supposed to be excellent (along with their Orange) and I don’t think I picked up anything new really except for WF Sour Ball Candy, OOO’s Blue Raspberry Square Candy which is TOTALLY different than OOO’s popular candy that most places have, but I think Nic River only has the Square Candy but on a knuckle test it tastes awesome, so it’s either new or smells great great but tastes like shit because most places are very select on what OOO flavors to carry, which is about 10 out of their 5,000 flavors.

Other than that I think I went ahead and picked up Nic Rivers Blue Raspberry, which I already had their Toffee due to a recommendation but I know for a fact it won’t be better than the EU Blue Raspberry and Flavor Revolutions Electric Blue. I’ll start to STF the rest of the stuff soon as I’m running out of small bottles because I’m actually mailing flavors out to people more instead of STF. I still really need to see if WF Raspberry-Boysenberry is the real deal or not either in iterations because most rave about it, and the people who don’t are the ones who don’t let it steep. I think VT Boysenberry is good, better than FLV, Bilberry, FA Blackcurrant if you want to use those darker berry notes, however I have high hopes on FM Blackberry which is supposed to be one if not the top of the food chain as CAP/TFA and pretty much every one else is supposed to be bad except for possibly FE/SC.

Rant Over.

Thx. Looking forward on your notes (and especially your comments about FM Blackberry; not really one of my favorites)

I actually have a Nic Vape Raspberry flavor over any FLV versions, which I guess is saying a lot and I keep my TFA Raspberry sweet around if I grill up some hamburgers or dogs and need to throw a drop or two of ketchup in it. Take that back, I’m not an animal and wouldn’t put ketchup on a hot dog so I wonder if fizzmustard’s Mustard Milk will work instead.

I’m so sick of raspberries though as you pretty much have to, although along with blueberry, combo them with another… Well, same goes for Grape, Mango, Strawberry, Watermelon even if you’re not content with just PUR or MB Big Watermelon. Par for the course with fruits and why people want to throw any random vanilla, ice cream, sweetener, marshmallow or custard with whatever bakery profile you’re after and call it a day, you just made a half-decent recipe… Fruits on the other hand, especially to make great ones is in a totally different Universe which includes String Theory.

So it was a combo of INW Malina/Shisha which I got Shisha right away so that was a long time ago and that was my go-to forever, same deal with FW & HS blueberry. Then the million of accents to round it out and actually make it into a blue raspberry although that was way which was a juggling act. Now the lines are blurred so much with too many iterations on top of now there is actually something worth using with the name blue raspberry in its name and that’s EU (Euro Flavors) Blue Raspberry – Hell even FR Electric Blue but I got those recently and I think it knocked off the very popular and well deserved OOO Sour Blue Candy. That along with what I haven’t used in ages in WF Sour blue… too much to process could maybe make it out of retirement which I don’t do often but I think if I remember it was half-decent.

I’ll throw out maybe bunch of 2-3 flavors to start off with because you can’t blast 5 or almost 3 off the bat and think you’ll in a million years be able to pull a great mix off, you’ll get lost on what went wrong and then start to drop flavors or % and it’s a cluster f.

Besides any suggestions/comments/discussion I hope we can run a SETI system where we can have people do iterations to cut down on time, give opinions feedback on stuff, maybe what direction we should go etc… Unlike SETI that was a scam because 1 person can figure out that there’s life on other planets and there are aliens… people doing the same or different iterations adding a flavor that other people don’t have to saying % is off or add this add that etc etc…

I don’t know how the system should go or what’s most effective, but instead of people throwing out a million iterations we could maybe have a simple base of 5 different 2-3 flavors with some common and not go too nuts on the exotic stuff out at the start, because I will be trying to work Heisenberg it too… trust me :-).

That way we have a small sample size and then build one flavor at a time, tweaking %'s as we go… Or people can just throw out whatever and we can have chaos which would be fitting for this white whale. Then on top of it 2-3 different version possibly of it too, your sugar syrup cotton candy (hibiscus/shisha raz etc…) type and then your 7-11 brain freeze slush. 3rd might be more of a complex mix of flavors that most people don’t have or maybe can’t get. — BTW I could care less if the mixes are under my name or not, as I bet I won’t do most of the leg work on maybe 1 or all of them anyways. I just think it would be fun and if you guys want to know how to work fruits on all kinds to malic/citric, coolants, sweeteners and to help gain more knowledge on how to combo and layer…

Etc etc… Next I’ll post a few flavors some might want to pick up if you’re interested in a communial iteration… If not you can go rouge too… as there will be Halloween sales and of course Black Friday too. No rush as I’ll dust off my notes and probably start after black friday anyways, but it’s not my deal, if somebody wanted to start now, throw out what you’ve learned etc etc… I’m not the boss, I just play one on ELR Forums.

I found liquid Barns blue raspberry to be not bad

Well I have TFA and CAP currently so if there wasn’t an improvement then something went horribly wrong there. A good Blackberry, not adding .10% FA Blackcurrant/Bilberry to help round out the blueberries on top of raspberries on top of maybe boysenberry would make things a million times easier, so I had to take the chance because I lucked out on my $50 order as the line just got released and I was just going to pick up the Orange which is the main flavor to get (unless you like gin as that’s their thing) and I always get Raspberry and figured what the hell as I think somebody here gave it a thumbs up…

You never know, things like bilberry or other type of darker berries to mix berries like forest fruit can somehow work with something that you wouldn’t expect.

Ok — I won’t go nuts but Halloween sales should be popping up any second and if anything it might be the same or like bullcity possibly 5% less than black friday but I’d wait if you can as I’ll just post some flavors that not only works with this profile but most importantly that are good and can work in many different applications.

FW/HS Blueberry - INW Raz (Malina) - FW Razzelberry - WF Sour Ball Candy - VT Fizzy Sherbert - VT/FLV Boysenberry either or both – OOO Blue Raspberry Candy – WS-23 – INW Purple Blush (kind of like a grape forest fruit if that’s your thing) - SC/FE Grape - FA Raspberry - VT Sour Lemon - WF Raspberry-boysenberry

Down the tier a bit SC/FE Lemon, CAP Lemon lime - INW Shisha Raspberry - CAP Hibiscus - CAP Sweet Strawberry - FLV Sour Apple - FA Blackcurrant - FA Bilberry - TPA Acai Berry - FW Sweetener - FA Polar Blast - FW Grape Soda or the name might could fall under coil fucker.

If you’re going to chefs or nicotine river — Chefs (Blue Lush One Shot) I was semi joking about Heisenberg but Red Astaire could be better but low enough both could work with the dark berries and typical EU vaping profile and like Blue Lush could be the key that unlocks it… that’s how far you have to reach. I think they might have flavor revolution too, and if so get it along with these from Nicotine River:

EU Blue Raspberry - Flavor Revolution Electric Blue

Down the tier a bit – Nicotine River Blue Raspberry

I’m drawing a blank as there are obvious ones but that’s a good place and do research or look up other mixes if you pick stuff up that I mentioned and not just for this project… later on but don’t go nuts and get only what you want//need.

Not the worst but same old paint thinner off-note that all LB fruits have. EU/FR and I’d say even Nicotine River Blue Raspberry and Blue Raspberry Taffy even beats that IMO — Of course the amount of coverage and knowledge base between those flavors and LB’s is night and day, along with the $$$$$ in promotion.

I’m not a straight up blue raspberry guy either, until I found the EU blue raz - FR Electric Blue — They were the first decent blue raspberry, besides OOO Candy that was worth the name, however it’s not even close to the end all and be all because even they are accents 100% and you can’t just mix and match blue raspberry flavors and call it a day, but at least it has a bit of potential and something that gives it a bit of a twist instead of your basic standard fruits. People rely on LB/DIYFS Slush as a primary then work down… not going to happen, never will. It’s a toss up on EU & FR Electric Blue which btw is their 2nd attempt at Blue Raspberry as they have one but admitted that they fucked it up so they came out with this one after which is better so I never bothered to get Blue Raspberry.

EU is better SFT and probably better, however I think that FR might play way better with other flavors though, again not sure as I haven’t hit it hard core in a while now and hoarded too many flavors.

Bullcity has 15% off and if you use paypal with a chase freedom card you get 5% cashback making it 20%. If memory serves, BF/CM they sometimes do either 15 or 20% and ECX is 30%.

Ecigexpress is running 20% thankyou20 — and of course 30% for black friday but I doubt these sales will last and these are some flavors to pick up for sure at a crazy price with FLV flavors 50% off and INW Shisha Raspberry & Strawberry 10ml for $1.60.

For blue raspberry the shisha raspberry and FLV Lime is a must. The lime is crazy strong, like .10-.20% but known to be slushy like. Shisha Raspberry has been a combo for years. Also get, which I’m shocked if most don’t have already with FLV Boysenberry (VT too down the road) and maybe FLV Lemonade too.

Besides that flv cream, flv pudding, flv sweet coconut, flv mango are top of the food chain flavors. Ironically FLV Blueberry is pretty much the only one I don’t have, which is too damn many due to the price. I’ll look around and see if it’s worth picking up, but I got PUR Raspberry in my mailbox right now just after getting flavormonks Raspberry, so I guess I’m back on the blue raz train again after taking a well deserved break.

I got a bunch of Flavor Monks fruit flavors my last go at NicRiv. I wasn’t too impressed overall. The Orange was pretty authentic though. Most of the others just didn’t do it for me solo. I tried them after 3 days but have only revisited White Monks. That ones a mostly minty flavor with hints of something berry or fruity like underneath. But yeah, overall I didn’t care for most of them.

Since my earlier posts above I got some Blue Raspberry flavors. I got NicRiv BR, Flavor Revoultion BR and Electric, and Euro BR. Out of those, I liked Euro Flavors Blue Razz the best. It still needs help but it’s on the right track atleast. I haven’t tried many things with any of them yet.

Edit: Old post that I didn’t hit send I guess.

Yeah, I didn’t get any of their one sot type of flavors but wanted to try both their Raspberry and Blackberry to see if it would fit in here. They are decent flavors but I find that they don’t play well with other flavors at all, along with their orange too which is. I agree and should have posted the same that if you were going to go on Nicotine River and get their more exotic flavors that I mentioned EUR would be the only one to get if you’re going to Nictoine River this black friday/CM. I don’t know if I’ll re-vist the others because when you try adding on something with a blue raz name just trying to force it in you are better to dump for a better multi-fruit flavor that’s already better and hits the profile better like INW Purple Blush, FA Forrest Fruit, WF Boysenberry-Raspberry.

Nicotine River’s would be second but the EUR is the star of t h e show and the best true blue raspberry flavor. It’s the only blue raspberry worth considering and use because the others don’t play well in a mix with others that DIYFS Blue Raspberry Slush (67% VG and sugar bomb).

I’ll list the must get flavors kind of in their affinity that IMO the best not to get just for this profile but they play well with other flavors and other profiles so t hey are all-around.

For straight blueberries it’s pretty simple with FW and HS are the must gets and ahead of the others by a mile. HS has really branched out in the US the past year or so and it’s the

Raspberries was tricky because INW Raspberry didn’t make the cut. PUR Raspberry and FA are the 2 main essentials and then you have to add FW Razzelberry.

Citric and Malic acids and like minded flavors. Let’s keep this simple because it could go nuts fast. First would have to be just out of versatility CAP Lemon Lime. FE Lemon, VT Fizzy Sherbert, FLV Sour Apple, WF Sour Ball Candy, WF Pixie Sticks, and FLV Lime…

Mixed Berries type…

Edit: I’ll finish the list later.
