Berry Bay
I wanted another sweet, juicy, fruity flavor to add to my summer vapes. I know not many of you mixed my first submission but hopefully somebody will try this one out. It has a warmer berry background, followed by tart pineapple and kiwi. The strawberry is not prominant but will tie everything together while adding to the sweetness. Good as a shake and vape, but better after 3-4 days. Enjoy!

13% Total Flavor
Forest Fruit (FA)- This adds sweet and tart berry undertones to the overall profile. At this % it lays in the background and provides the warmer background notes.
Kiwi Double (TFA)- Gives the mix more of a candy-like kiwi tartness and helps punch the tart notes in forest fruit. This gives the juice it's higher end notes.
Pineapple (TFA)- Obviously this is such a strong flavor I didn't want to go higher than 1%. It will mellow out in a few days, however it is one of the main notes you will taste in the profile. The pineapple also adds the bright notes this mix needed.
Strawberry Shisha (INW)- I like this strawberry due to its candy sweetness, and it blends into the profile enough so that you don't just taste the strawberry. Key flavor to help blend the other ingredients.
Sucralose- You don't need to add it, or you could do .50% but it is adding the sweetness that I want for this sweet and fruity profile
I've been looking for things to make with Forest Fruit, and something about that flavor makes me think you are probably on to something great by combining it with pineapple, so I'm going to give this a try. But, I think I'll take /u/Philosaphucker's advice on the Meringue or maybe make two bottles, one with Meringue for the sugaryness and one with 1% FA Marshmallow for some sweetness plus a fuller-bodied mouthfeel.
I may try that Philosaphucker, the meringue may add a bit of texture. Then again we are talk'n 1%. I will give it a whirl in my next mix and let you know.
Vaping it right now. This is a very nice shake and vape. Good Job! I'm definitely going to mix this again. After I give this a few days for TFA Pineapple to stop hulking out, I should be in a better position to see if FA Marshmallow (per /u/ID10-T) has a role to play here.
I'm going to mix one of each, meringue and marshmallow, and see what happens. And maybe a third with the pineapple cut in half.
Was OP's decision to combine Forest Fruit with pineapple a small stroke of genius?
Cutting the pineapple should balance the profile more if you are looking for a shake and vape.

It is a great combo, but the real genius stroke in this regard (as far as I'm concerned) was to use Shisha Strawberry and Kiwi Double to make them play nice. I taste the Forest Fruit against and behind the pineapple because of the Shisha Strawberry and Kiwi Double.
Thinking about ordering a few of these flavors. Looking for another summer-y vape. Is the strawberry shisha worth the premium over another strawberry flavor? Haven't tried any of the INW flavors yet
