Looking for opinions. Know of TPA Mixed Berry, FW YumBerry, and CAP Harvest Berry. Which is your favorite or would you suggest another brand or your own mix of berries recipe?
Another vote for FA Forest Mix, here. I like it at 3%. It could be mixed at 5% or even more. In fact, there's a clone recipe of Pinup Vapor's Betty that calls for 10%, plus WAY TOO MUCH Sweetener (15%!!! Good-bye coils!). Very authentic FRESH berries flavoring.

lol... just read that you felt CAP Harvest Berry was better than TFA Berry Mix.

I have a 30ml bottle of CAP Harvest Berry here and don't know what I'll ever do with it. No matter how I use it, I don't like it.

For banana I vote for LorAnns Banana Cream (Colorless). I use this in all my banana recipes. Love it.

Yeah TFA Berry Mix is even worse, had to let it steep about a month and mix it with 1/4 something else... blueberry or raspberry. Basically add a berry mix to make Berry Mix taste like a good berry mix lol.

Any thoughts on best Banana and Watermelon? If I only need around 5% FA looks like the cheapest.
I personally don't like Flavour Art's Watermelon or Banana.
For those flavors it depends on what you're looking for, the candied version or realistic?
Watermelon (candy)- Capella Sweet Watermelon
Banana (candy)- pretty much every brand... they all taste fake. TFA Ripe Banana is probably most popular.

Real Watermelon- Inawera hands down
Real Banana.... By itself??? I'm not sure if it exists. TFA Banana Nut Bread is the closest I've gotten but it has the bakery notes in there that you may not always want

I know, right? Some people....
I rarely add sweetener... and if I do, it's drops. This is why I don't like most premade juice... Too sweet and wrecks my coils/wick

**Off-topic but I've been meaning to ask you... Is your Avatar pic from Last Airbender?

I have been playing around with my own berry mix lately. I have yet to perfect it but its at least becoming vapeable lol.

1% TFA Blackberry
3% TFA Raspberry
3% TFA Ripe Strawberry
2% TFA Wild Blueberry

When it comes to berries, fruits or additives I usually go with TFA if possible, but after reading this thread it seems like I might be on my own there lol. I havent tried any prefab mixed berry concentrates because I have so many berry flavors on hand that I figured it would just be easier to make my own mix.
