I got this flavour from LilyRed in a giveaway it's usual cost is £1.99 for 30ml.
Upon getting this I had a sniff and to be honest it smells like sweet strawberry jam - mixed it into a 20mg 50/50 mix with 15% flavour and I've gotta say it's really good sweet but not overly no chemical like taste more like a mix of fresh strawberries and sweet jam didn't need to add any stevia as it's sweet enough I would definitely buy this in future
I've currently got a batch steeping mixed with other fruits at 50/50 so I'll let you know how that goes.

This review is of a liquid I was given but reflects my true opinion and in no way reflects the view of the vendor or any other member of POTV.

By spooky coincidence, I'd just charged up my dripper with a sampler I made from P.I. Wild Strawberry, moments before I spotted this thread. Is this the same stuff?

Incredibly deeply coloured, this wild strawberry. Judging by the colour produced when I rinsed the last drop out of a syringe I used when I made up the sampler, I imagine a 30ml bottle would turn an entire swimming pool a rather fetching shade of pink.
 
Ive been using it for quite a few months and have tried other strawberry concentrates. Its a good concentrate IMHO. 20% strawberry, 2% sweetener, 1% EM and 1% sour. Vapes lovely.
I got the blackberry from LilyRed and mixed it up today. I'll let it steep and give it a go next week. I'm hopeful I'll be as nice as the strawberry and black current from Pastry Island.

I haven't had a chance to mix mine as a single flavour mix yet @Ninjaassasin, I do like the sound of a strawberry jam type flavour :)

I did however use it in a pink champagne mix trial, 20% overall flavouring added, comprising of 50% champagne flavour (FF) and 25% each of strawberry and raspberry (PI) plus 3% additives, comprising approx 60% malic acid and 40% sweetener (sucralose) - it's nice but the champagne is the dominant flavour whereas I wanted the fruits to come out more so I'll rework the %s at the next mix and add a wee bit more malic acid too - maybe take it up to 4% additives so I can rejig the percentages more easily. It needs about 3-5 days to steep.

It might be nice with a drop of vodka added, but we've only got gin in the house and I'm not sure whether that might take the flavours off somewhere I don't want - no harm in trying on a 2ml mix I suppose.
 
I got the Peach from LilyRed in the giveaway,made up a 10 ml bottle of 50/50 & its still steeping as the last sniff of the contents made me sneeze.It reminded me of being a youngster sat in my bedroom assembling my plastic Airfix kit,the juice smelled just like the Airfix glue.I hope it improves a huge amount with steeping,particularly the smell.
 
Hmm, there were a couple I got recently that smelled acetone-y (not necessarily all from Pastry Island - can't remember which ones offhand): I've not tried the peach yet, I'll have to do a wee tester tomorrow.
 
Hi all I've bought some ejuice off uncutgriffin from eBay and whilst looking through their purchases I noticed they have bought this concentrate and must be using it in their ejuices. Cause I'm a newbie can you let me know if i can use these concentrates without thinning them,so could I use these PI concentrates as a % in a pre 70pg/30vg + nicotine batch to flavour it thanks all

Yes you can. Mix around 20% flavour with vg pg nic.
