Raspberry beat out Pear and Apple by two votes.
The purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a flavor and it's many uses.
We're not just looking for you to post recipes you have containing the flavor of the week, but looking for you to share your process as you develop a new juice using the flavor of the week. This should help us all to better understand how certain flavors interact, and give us all a launching point to perhaps discovering new wonderful recipes.
Please post new recipes created using this flavor as well as any and all tasting notes as main posts. Thought process is encouraged also. This thread will NOT be in contest mode so the best flavors and reviews of those should move their way towards the top. While I definitely encourage you to branch out with this flavor and use some more rare flavors, I would encourage everyone to keep it in mind that others will not be able to try your recipe and comment or offer assistance if they do not have the flavors you are using. I would also encourage you to use this week's flavor as the "main" flavor in your recipe although this is not required.
You BETTER sample and offer tasting notes on your recipe. Good luck to everyone! This Week's Flavor is: RASPBERRY
Unlike in the previous monthly contest thread, I am NOT limiting this to any specific flavor from any specific vendor. After all, our goal here is to come up with perhaps some unique uses of the weekly flavor or combinations others may not have thought of before. This should allow for maximum participation as well!

Flavor this week inspired me to make a raspberry ice vape, which is incredibly common given how well raspberry goes with menthol. So, I wanted to give it a little something different.
Knowing TFA raspberry sweet is pretty forthcoming, I decided a "triple 6" mix with some other berries ought to be tasty. Here we go:
TFA raspberry sweet - 6%
TFA strawberry ripe - 6%
TFA blueberry wild - 6%
Menthol 10% solution - 1%
Super simplified recipe. I was pretty blown away by how good this is. I'm not a big fan of menthol, but I was feeling something different from all the custards I've been whipping up lately.
Raspberry menthol is definitely the front runner of this recipe. Feel free to add or take away some menthol, but I felt like 1% was a good start and it is right in the middle ground of strength.
The strawberry and blueberry aren't coming through as much as I would like them to. For me, strawberry never does come through before a proper steep, even when it is the main ingredient. The blueberry may also need some time, but knowing how raspberry sweet tends to take over, we may just want to reduce the raspberry to 5% and up the other berries to 7%.
Either way, this is a solid "berry breeze" type vape. I highly recommend a kayfun or something similar. I don't really care for dripping menthol at high wattages but that's just me.
P.S. I love raspberry :D

I am some what proud of this juice, the short back story is my buddy got into DIY years ago, and created a juice line that is now fairly successful. Anyway he had a Blue Raspberry ICEE flavor that he ended up discontinuing. Sadly I couldn't buy it anymore. Fast forward a few years and now all I do is DIY lol (because of you jerks!) So I tried to mimic the flavor as best I could, with little to no success. As I got more experienced I was able to come very close.
I first utilized OSDIY Blue Raz Slush, just did that straight up, it was yummy but not quite as flavorful and seemed to lack the tangyness of a blue ICEE, and did not pop. It lacked flavor, it lacked body, it lacked everything. So then I added the lemon and lime, this made it pop, I was happy I was moving in the right direction. I was using Marshmallow for the sweetener but come to find out it was leaving it bland and muted. I switched to EM (I know everyone says it mutes flavors but I have yet to experience this)So after more trial and error and research I came up with the final recipe. I realized what the hell, I have TFA Sweet Raspberry why not add it in? So I did, and BOOM. It tasted very close to the original I had, and is quite good.
I pump it out in 60/40. Its not a Fruit explosion, just a very nice refreshing vape, not too sweet or sugary. Its a nice perfect blend. Id say if you want more flavor go 50/50 and bump up the TFA Raspberrry, but try not to do that too much as it might shut out the Blue Slush a bit.
Blue Raspberry ICEE
- OSDIY Blue Slush 8%
- TFA Sweet Raspberry 3%
- TFA Key Lime 1%
- FA Lemon Sicily 1%
- EM 1%
I've been using CAP Raspberry v2 for a long time, and I love it. Plenty of sweet/tart to go around. A bit weaker than other raspberries so it needs to be used at 4-6% in a mix to stand out, or with FA or INW Raspberry to give it more body. Edit: recipes to follow, at work and away from notes.
do post when you get a chance! I've tried it at 10% with 2% NY cheesecake and at 6% with 7% TFA VBIC (was going of of the mustard milk recipe since I don't have sweet strawberry). Both are okay but I feel like there's tastier things to be made with this raspberry.
One of my simple ADV's is
4% CAP (V1 ideally, but V2 is okay) Raspberry
2.5% FA Raspberry
5% AC Lime
0.7% CAP Lemon & Lime
1 Drop fresh Lime juice per 10ml
70 VG, 7 min Cycle in the Ultrasonic, shake and vape. Easy in a pinch and very tasty ^^
Any advice for achieving a blue raspberry? I have TFA blue raspberry ordered, was gonna add koolada to it to make it an icee-type flavor. Was wondering if anyone had instructions on how to make a blue raspberry flavor?
Not sure if you figured it out yet but I have been using /u/captaincannibal 's MEL Blue Voodoo Clone recipe and its spot on blue raspberry.
- TFA Juicy Peach 10%
- TFA Raspberry Sweet 5%
- TFA Sweetener (sucralose) 5%
I wish I could have warned you but TFA Blue Raspberry is god awful... its disgusting. Period
damn...do you have an alternative to reccomend?
This is my first post here, so I hope I do this right, and that this is a good place to post it. Just want to say thanks to everyone in this wonderful community, you've helped my journey tremendously. Feel free to give any input. This recipe started it's life as a attempted clone of spoonlicker og, and with double the strawberry it's close. I decided to try raspberry instead of strawberry but it wasn't quite right. I settled on half strawberry and half raspberry and think it's pretty darn good. Any more raspberry and it starts to hide the delicious cake flavors. This one benifits greatly from a good long steep, and as with anything with FW yellow cake it can gunk coils a bit. So without further ado.
Raspberry Spoonlicker
Yellow Cake (FW) - 3%
Cake Batter (CAP) - 5%
Sweet Strawberry (CAP) - 2%
Raspberry (CAP) - 2%
Vanilla Custard V2 (CAP) - 2%
Smooth (TFA) - 1%
Do you think this would work with cap raspberry v2? I've got all the other ingredients.
I've never tried the v2, but reviews of it seem positive, I've heard someone say they had to up the percentage a bit as it seemed slightly diluted. You couldn't prove that by me however. Give it a try, maybe it's better than my version, you can always tweak it up a percent if need be. Let me know what you think.
