Mixed Berry options?

submitted over 5 years ago by GormyGorm

A long time ago, I tried an e liquid that I can best describe as tasting like a Welch's mixed berry fruit snack. I am trying to find/recreate that flavor. I have not gotten into any DIY flavors before. I was planning on using an unflavored shortfill, and mixing in a flavor concentrate. Is this a good idea, and if it is, can someone recommend a flavor that might be right for this?

I'm not sure exactly what Welch's mixed berry fruit snacks taste like, but if you are looking for an extremely versatile berry flavor that you can literally just use by itself and get a very good juice:

FA Forest Fruits!

I liked it so much when I started that I bought 4oz of it and I'm still not sick of it. Here's a super simple recipe that I started with and still enjoy:

I grew up around an absolute ton of "import" stores, so I had quite a bit of Japanese food and candy options as a kid. Forest Fruit is smack dab, spot on for a flavor of chewy candy I remember from them days. Never had it or tasted it since, until cracking open that bottle one delightful treat of a day.

...it was a far better candy than anything I ever made with it, though. :(

I'll 3rd that about the forest fruits, and add, make sure you use about 1.25% sucralose / Cap super sweet... It gives a good "gummy candy" flavor

+1 for Forrest Fruit

5% CAP Harvest Berry + 3% FA Forrest Fruits + Cooling agent & sweetner to taste

Simplest recipe, I'll never get sick of it.

Personally I think cap harvest berry tastes a lot more like fruit snacks than fa forest fruits does. It's more of a candy berry flavor and it even has some of the waxy gummy aspect on it's own

harvest berry for the win! this is my ADV. i hardly mix anything else anymore... just plain old harvest berry @ 7-10%.

Just make your own... FA Blackcurrant, INW shisha Raspberry, FW Blueberry, tfa blacberry, FLV cranberry, FLV boysenberry. Adjust levels to get what you want.

Probably some sort of gummy would do well for that. Maybe 27 bears or one of the other gummy candy flavors (think a few by wf are solid). For berries you have a good variety, FA forest fruit is definitely where you want to start. Cap blueberry Jam, FLV Boysenberry, & the blueberry trinity all worth looking into for that profile. You have quite a bit of options in the way of berries though, they are usually best with a bit of lemon to brighten them up. I like FE (or SC) Lemon a lot for berries.

I would also add FLV Jammy Berry to the mix

I agree with Jammy Berry. Flavorah sent me a 15ml as a freebie the first time I ordered from them and it knocked my socks off, especially because how low of a percentage taste good to me.

I was actually just considering forest fruit. Thanks! This gives me a great place to start.

CAP Jelly Candy, CAP Silverline 27 Bears, TFA Gummy Candy are great recommendations. For grape I say INW Grape if you want authentic welches , if you want fake purple FW Grape Soda and FA Blackcurrant to jam it

I also think that Harvest Berry tastes more like a mixed berry fruit snack than Forest Fruit but why not get both and make LOOMA! (If you don't know what that is just type it into the search bar to view the post)

Cappella harvest berry is a great choice I enjoy using it from mixed berry recipes.

Absolutely, love me some CAP Harvest Berry. Also JF Forrext Mix and FLV Jammy Berries are both very good. I get sick of FA Forrest Fruit pretty easily. TFA Berry Mix is not good, neither is FM Berry whatever.. VT's mixed berry flavor is alright but a bit waxy IIRC.

You have good taste my friend the joy of DIY is the choice is endless and I always have around 10 choices to vape and 5 or 6 mods sitting with a different flavour in each lol.

Have you tried WF Bumbleberry? It’s a mixed berry flavour. But candy-ish to me. Really nice though.
