Thanks Leilani. Could you compare/contrast with similar offerings like FA Forest Fruit or CAP Harvest berry? Do any useful pairings stand out? Suited to drinks or bakeries? Would you say it's good as a base or is it more top heavy/thin? How would you use this? A couple of my ADV's are centered around Forest Fruit so I'm quite interested in this one.
Hi MasterBeernuts: I would use this as a top note and pair it with brighter berry flavors. It has a light body, but not transparent generic fruit juice from concentrate thin. It's like a Whole Foods Organic semi-opaque Fruit Juice type of Mouthfeel*. I would not consider this a substitute for Forrest Fruit (FA) but I would imagine you could use it in similar applications as FA FF.
To me at 2.5%, Forest Fruit (FA) has the same flavor intensity, sweetness, and body but that's about it. The mouthfeel for the Bumbleberry is more rounded and less thin than FFruit (FA). This "Bumbleberry" also has a distinct earthier, "wild", Skin* note with a Juicy inner Flesh* - where FFruit (FA) is a "cleaner" mixed berry, where I taste notes of Raspberry, Blackberry and hints of Blueberry. Take note, I did not SFT FFruit as long as the Bumbleberry but the flavors are very different. Forrest Fruit to me tastes:

I hope this helps.
I have both FA Forest and CAP Harvest, and I honestly can not get enough of the WFSC Bumbleberry. The flavour scent/taste is so bright and rich that I can't stop wanting to incorporate it into things, but the flavour itself is either too light or it takes over a mix if you mix at too high a concentration.
I'd absolutely recommend it to you if even just for some playing around!
How can I thank you enough for all these insanely thorough reviews of so many juices? It blows my mind how much effort you put into this, and how much work you save others. Each review you post is certain to be the best review of that flavor, on the entire internet. You should set up a [patreon] (https://www.patreon.com/)!
Hi Tim94. Thank you for the compliment on my notes and for my effort. I'm only beginning my Junior year of mixing, so I'm trying my best to do right by helping others with what I taste. Taste is very subjective so don't rely just on my notes.

The seniors, professors and even freshman of DIY are doing just as much, if not more than me:Concrete River, Mystic Rose, Rin Vapes, Fresh03, HC, Jen Jarvis, Pro_Vapes, The Vaping Scribe, JoJo, Silhouette, Amy***, the Noted Crew, SessionDrummer ... I can't even list all of them on Reddit and ELR. Just try to wade through all the flavor notes on the ELR Forums - not to mention the ones who don't write but speak about their flavor notes on YouTube - crazy.
