This is going to be one of the most useful accents in the collection.
Pairings
Much like Cactus this is going to pair with everything and perform some crazy Magic. ( I can't think of anything this is not going to pair well with outside of tfa's Mary Jane but what do I know that might actually work there as well. )

I love this flavor, I always wanted to try and replicate Ribena. But I currently vape it with Blackberry and a hint of lime.
Sounds like an interesting combo. Tfa blackberry? Have you ever had FA's black currant variant?
Yea Tfa blackberry is amazing!! I actually prefer the Fa black currant. For a 30ml bottle, I usually do 3ml Tfa blackberry and 1ml Fa black currant and then 5 drops of Fa lime Tahity - this was my first diy recipe and I still vape it today.
I tried this at 5% a while back and I thought it tasted like straight sugar and was almost rubbery tasting. However at 2.5% it was a fairly pleasant dark berry taste.
I've used it at 0.5% to accent apple and blueberry flavors with great success.
My notes say to keep it below 4%, as it is fairly strong and gets weird above that.
Interesting I got sweet but not straight suger. Definitely got floral notes at 5% I feel it is a veay accurate flavor. How log did you Steep it? ( my mixing % 1-2%)
I tried it over night and again after a few days. Never gave it much longer because I didn't care much for it. I might have to re-visit it here soon.
