Setup: velocity v2; dual 24g SS316 7 wrap; full cotton wicks
Testing: Blueberry (Super Concentrate) 2% aged: 3 days 60/40 vg/pg 1mg nic
Flavor description A sweet, bakery type blueberry. I’m getting the realistic dark berry notes upfront with a sweet macerated blueberry throughout the exhale. It’s not sugary per se but it has that baked taste like the ‘blueberry’ in a Lil Debbie’s blueberry muffin. Not a very dense flavor and lacking in body (mainly getting top and bottom notes).
Off-flavors: Nothing really, no fruit peels or anything like that.
Throat hit: Smooth, little to none.
Uses: I’m sticking this in muffin recipes right at 2-3% so that it stands up to whatever else I throw at it. This is not like FW blueberry and the closest thing I could say would be FA bilberry. This is like a slightly brighter bilberry to me, so I’d use also where you might use that but don’t want such a dark berry flavor.
Pairings: Other berries (especially other blueberries, blackberry or raspberry), fruits (apples, pears, orange, peach, pineapple, rhubarb, banana and watermelon), creams, custards, cinnamon, nuts especially almond, honey, ginger
Notes: I have not worked extensively with this and I’m not sure which other blueberry I want to join with this one (to add body) but I am leaning toward CAP blueberry 1-2% + RF blueberry 1-2% for bakery stuff, custards and blueberry blends. I think this one will need help standing up to heavier stuff like TPA VBIC or CAP VC. I’d keep the creams lighter, maybe stuff w/o diketones like FLV cream or FA Vienna/fresh.
This is not the answer to blueberry struggles but it is a nice flavor and I gotta say I prefer it to FW or CAP standalone just because it is not tiring to vape on. Edit: take this with a grain of salt, I just can't enjoy blueberry for too long before it tires my sense out, especially the very candy/jammy artificial ones.
Second Opinions Limited notes about the VG version on ELR
Not too much out there but if you have had the RF blueberry muffin this is the same blueberry without the muffin.
Edit: deleted repeated shit
I'm super late, but wanted to thank you for an excellent spot on review.
This is definitely a banger when it comes to blueberry, however it does lack body or a "middle" so to speak. That being said, it is a pretty strong blueberry-like flavor that definitely performs better than CAP/TFA offerings. Add a little FA Bilberry or INW Shisha Bilberry and you've got yourself a solid flavoring here. If you have FW Blueberry, this is decently a close match, but RF SC Blueberry has a little more punch and a little less body. You can't win them all I guess...
Glad to see this is a good one. I have high hopes for yumberry, which I have received but not tried yet.
Also I was talking to someone that smelled alcohol on all of the flavors he got from them... what do you think? I didn't smell or taste anything chemically from the two flavors I opened yet.
Some of them have a feint alcohol smell but haven't noticed it even when shake and vaping. I've tried lemonade, blueberry, pomegranate, pineapple and baklava.
For what it's worth I think the lemonade is the best lemonade flavor I've come across.
Alcohol will evaporate pretty quickly so that shouldn't be a problem anyway
I just tried the mango S&V and I really liked it although I have nothing to compare it to. Very smooth and no alcohol taste or smell. Need to get tester bottles so I can mix up a bunch of single flavors...
Your description is kind of how I feel about CAP Blueberry. Which is a flavor I mention and people seem to not like. Though I feel it really reminds me of the blueberries in a muffin.
Also kind of kicking myself for not ordering this flavor. I got 8 flavors from them and realized afterwards I didn't get the blueberry.
