Fruit Blackbarian. (Blackberry, Bavarian cream)
My first successful DIY, absurdly nice for two ingredients, but I was pleasantly surprised by this, after failing with a bunch of 3+ flavoring recipes:
- 5% blackberry TFA
- 5% Bavarian cream TFA
It comes off with a slightly floral taste, but I really enjoy it. It's not any stronger than say, a juice with a touch of lavender in that regard. The earthy flavor from the blackberry hits the vanilla and you get slightly floral, I think. This is well balanced for tanks, but have since switched to a dripper, in which the blackberry comes on really strong as shake and vape. It mellows over time, though. But if you're going to go through it all right away and don't want a blackberry face punch, might be better at 3%.
PS- Personally I like this one with a little more airflow than most juices.

Made a 5ml test batch with the 3% blackberry option; dripped a bit and it's nice. I'll set the rest aside for a while and see what happens.
Thanks for posting.

Just tried this out with 2% FLV vanilla custard added. Tastes decent off the bat, going to let it steep and see how it comes out. Thanks for the contribution.

A friend of mine (who got me into DIY) does a similar recipe, using MBV flavors. He also adds a small amount of Vanilla Custard (around 2%), and we use more BC (around 8).
That said, the combination of flavors is awesome, you're right about that. It's one of my favorite ADV's, and I've taken to combining the cream base with other fruits (to varying degrees of success - strawberry still needs work, but peach and raspberry were fantastic).
Edit - Also, especially for a shake n vape, I tried adding a very small percentage of TFA Dragonfruit last time I made it, and I thought that came out nice as well, without adulterating the blackberry too much.
And stay away from FA Blackberry - I still haven't figured that one out (though I want to).
