Help With a Candied Raspberry (FA MadFruit?)

[lirruping]

I'd like to make a tart-sweet, sort of candied raspberry flavor to use as a flavor shot/pepper-upper for several other juices I have lying around. What I'm hoping for is something like FW Raspberry. I've tried some combinations of the two raspberries I have: TFA Raspberry Sweet and FA Raspberry, and it's not quite doing what I want--it lacks a certain bite I want in it to cut through the dullness of some of my old half-good fruit juice mixes. I thought of adding a bit of FA Madfruit--I have it but have never tried it. I could use some advice with the percentages. If I have:

5% tfa Raspberry Sweet
3% fa Raspberry

how much FA Madfruit should I start with? Is this even a good idea for what I'm going for?

I mixed TFA Raspberry (Sweet) with FA Raspberry 4:1 ratio. Specifically mine was .8ml TFA & .2ml FA to make 1ml of raspberry then added 4ml of PG. To that solution I dropped in 2 drops of TFA Sweet & Tart. It makes a kick ass solution to use for raspberry lemonade imo.

Raspberry Lemonade sounds really good on this hot day and reminds me of Raspberry Lime Rickeys I used to love as a kid. I did think about Sweet Tart, cause I have some - actually it's TFA "SweetTangy" now that I look at it, but I'm assuming it's the same thing. It smells good, but I avoid it because so far I find it peculiar in mixes. Chalky? Maybe it's a steeping thing - I've never actually let it sit long to see if it changes with time in a mix. I will give your idea of adding a bit of it to a small batch of R.S. & FA Raspberry at 4:1 a try - thanks!

And I guess I'll just treat Madfruit in a similar way--or more carefully since I've only tasted it in CocoRico (not bad, actually )--starting with 0.25% and going up from there. I'm just so bad at following through with this kind of testing, sooo lazy... I want to vape something else and lose track of what I was doing. or if I don't like my first efforts I give it away instead of hanging onto it and trying to improve it.
Must be more disciplined!

lol, you sound a lot like me ... I've got 3 or 4 recipes I've been working on forever. They aren't half bad as is but I always feel like they need a touch more of something else before I can call them complete. Couple that with me getting distracted with other things and they never end up reaching the end stage.

Yeah, I hear you. I'm surrounded by half-full bottles of semi-vapeable juice. They mock me.
I do manage to keep notes on almost everything, so that's a plus... it's just I don't often get back to the notes.

Thank heaven (I mean microsoft) for the search function! I put the tentative name of a juice on every bottle and then copy the same info plus details into my notes file, so just in case I ever do develop the ability to persevere, I can find every little thing I did to that juice.

We should start a new club: "Half-Assed DIY for the Perpetually Lazy and Short-Term Memory-Challenged". Is that too long?

lol, the HADFTPLASTMC Club, sounds good to me although I'm unlikely to be willing to use anything but the abbrevation in reference to it!

I too have even gone so far as to tentatively name the mixes, in fact, I think one of those names is pretty clever even ... now if I could just finish the recipe.
