This roundup covers seven e-liquids built around blackberry, from mixed-berry menthols to lemonades and bakery blends. For each one we note what it tastes like, the VG/PG ratio, the nicotine strengths and the bottle size.
A little background on the fruit first. Blackberry species grow on every continent except Antarctica, and the ancient Greeks, Romans and Arabs are all known to have used them. Over time the plant has served as food, as a dye, as hedge fencing and even as an ingredient in protection spells. It also goes by other names: brambleberry, bramble, bly and brummel.
Berry blends with menthol
Naked 100 Menthol Berry
Blackberry, raspberry and blueberry share this blend, and each berry can be picked out. The taste is bold, sweet and tangy, and the menthol on top makes it a cooling choice for hot weather. If mixed berries are your thing, this is an easy one to keep coming back to.
- VG/PG: 70/30
- Nicotine: 0mg, 3mg or 6mg
- Size: 60ml bottle
Charlie’s Chalk Dust White Black Ice
The name gives little away. What is in the bottle is blackberry paired with cucumber and a light touch of menthol. It is a subtle, cooling flavor: sweet, tart and almost watery on each puff, and well suited to summer.
- VG/PG: 70/30
- Nicotine: 0mg, 3mg or 6mg
- Size: 60ml bottle
Mixed berries without the menthol
Tropic King Berry Breeze
Berry Breeze adds blackcurrant to blackberry, raspberry and blueberry. The result stands apart from other berry mixes: sweet without being heavy, clearly sour, with a slightly earthy edge. We found it held up to vaping through a whole day without the taste wearing thin.
- VG/PG: 70/30
- Nicotine: 0mg, 3mg or 6mg
- Size: 100ml bottle
Blackberry lemonades
Big Bottle Co. Lemonade Stand Summer Drink
A sweet-and-sour lemonade with peach and blackberry mixed in. The Meyer lemon comes through clearly, rind included, and the sweetness is well judged. Crisp peach gives it a twist, but for me the blackberry is the highlight. The added fruit sets it apart from other lemonade e-liquids, and it works as an all-day vape.
- VG/PG: 85/15
- Nicotine: 0mg, 3mg or 6mg
- Size: 120ml bottle
Vapetasia Lemonade Blackberry
Where Summer Drink brings in peach, this one keeps to two flavors: lemonade and blackberry. The taste is rich, sweet, tangy and lively, and the blackberry is easy to pick out. Another one for the warm months.
- VG/PG: 70/30
- Nicotine: 0mg, 3mg or 6mg
- Size: 100ml bottle
Bakery and breakfast blackberry
The Custard Shoppe Blackberry
A change of direction from the fruit-forward bottles above. This is blackberry pie topped with whipped cream, and you can taste the baked crust, the rich berry filling and the cream as separate parts that fit together.
- VG/PG: 75/25
- Nicotine: 0mg, 3mg or 6mg
- Size: 100ml bottle
Jam Monster Blackberry Jam
Buttered toast spread with blackberry jam. It is a breakfast-style flavor that goes well alongside a morning coffee, and we thought it tasted very good.
- VG/PG: 75/25
- Nicotine: 0mg, 3mg or 6mg
- Size: 100ml bottle
Other flavors from Naked 100, Tropic King, Big Bottle Co., Vapetasia, Charlie’s Chalk Dust, The Custard Shoppe and Jam Monster are stocked at ejuice.deals as well.
