Bluberry is a bit harsh any ideas?

[ukskater01]

Hi fellow apes!
Just wondering if anyone has experience mixing Bluberry. I've found it quite harsh even when I've mixed it with menthol. I normally mix at 70vg 30pg.
Wondering what's popular to mix with it?
Thanks
Andy

Which blueberry are you using and at what percentage?

 

[ukskater01]

Flavour west from darkstar at 9%
I've just mixed it with some dragonfruit and it's getting better

Ah good. I haven't used FW blueberry so can't advise re percentages.

Iv used it in a cheesecake recipe before and added it to some custard but as it's always a secondary flavour for me iv never gone above 6℅ it's ok but after my bottle ran out I switched to PA blueberry well 2 of them I use in the same mixes as I think it offers a better blueberry flavour I use blueberry wild and blueberry extra and if say I mix at 6℅ I would use 4% wild and 2% extra and I love it

You're on the right lines now buddy.
Berry flavours are full of top notes, some can often be chemically or perfumey on their own, menthol is only going to exaggerate that, hence the harshness you describe.
Adding midtones, more fleshier fruits, will help to balance the vape ... so think about layering your flavours. Like mixing sound with treble, midtones and bass, a rounded juice needs to contain more than just high notes ... think about how to achieve a softer mouthfeel with a fuller flavour.
