NN Strawberry Raspberry Rhubarb Pie Filling
Summary
So I'll start by saying I'm a little disappointed with this flavor, especially as someone who is a bit of a Nude Nicotine Fanboi. The biggest thing I'm sensing from this is some strange berry mix that is reminiscent of medicine. I can see where they might be saying rhubarb, as there is just the slightest hint of that tart freshness from the rhubarb, but it's completely overwhelmed by the off-putting berry mix, somewhat similar to their Very Berry concentrate. It is kind of thick and jammy, which is nice and I could see that aspect being useful.
I tried this at 3%, since most of their flavorings are good in a range of 2-7% (I've found 5-6 to be the sweet spot for most of them). Overall it just kind of misses the mark, has an off-putting medicinal flavor, and I don't see using this when there are a ton of great concentrates in all of the categories they were going for that we can use in its place. If this was all I had to vape, I could get through it and wouldn't be inclined to end my life; it's not that bad, but I'm completely let down from the notion of a "Strawberry Raspberry Rhubarb Pie Filling".

Medicinal Berries
Usage
Stand alone: 3-5%. If you are so inclined, or have this flavoring and want to experiment, it might benefit from bringing it lower

Throat
Smooth
Pairings
Other Raspberries, Strawberries, or Rhubarb to bring it to a better place; pie crust, biscuits, brown sugar, sweeteners.
Avoid
Um... this flavoring? IDK, Coffees, Caramels, heavy creams, things like that.
Steep
I didn't notice much change from 1 day to 1 week. The medicinal aspect did calm down after a steep and I was able to sense what I think is the rhubarb they were going for.
Testing Notes
6/3
shake-n-vape
So far --- disappointing. Tastes medicinal like other NN berries unfortunately. Will let it steep and come back to it. not getting any rhubarb or strawberry, just kind of a medicinal raspberry taste.
6/11
The medicinal aspect has calmed down quite a bit. I sense what I think might be the rhubarb they were going for, but it's so muddled from the berries that it's hard to pick up.
