I'd love to know the percentages, even if they are just rough approximations.

This is for 15ml @ 3.1~mg nic and high VG:

  • VG 8.6ml
  • PG 3.1ml
  • Nic(VG) 0.9ml
  • Lorann Watermelon 0.4ml
  • Lorann Marshmallow 1.2ml
  • Lorann Cotton Candy 0.8ml
  • Sweetener to taste (I put in about 5 drops of my DIY Stevia in PG sweetener which is 4mg Stevia in 15ml PG)

I found that without sweetner it's very tart, and adding more Marshmallow isn't desired as I don't want it too creamy. So sweetener is required for this.)

This required at least 2 weeks steeping for best flavour as it comes out pretty strong. If you wait less reduce the flavouring by say 25%.

Thanks, I appreciate you typing that all up. I'll have to give it a try when I get back home. Really trying hard to make good use of at least one of the three watermelon flavors I have. Got a bunch of the LA colorless watermelon that I like standalone, but seems like it could use some accents for some dimension. I noticed the same thing with it by itself that it's a bit on the strong side, so I'll have to see how it is come the end of january. Much appreciated.

That's sounds like something I would definitely like to try. How does the cucumber factor in at such a low percent?

Very subtle but makes the watermelon taste more convincing imo.

Cucumber added to watermelon adds like a rind flavor that's surprisingly realistic.

Are you using cap sweet strawberry for this?

Yea I prefer CAP straw to any of the TFA ones, but the TFA ripe straw is tasty too.

LA Watermelon the way to go for "candy" watermelon imo. If you prefer not neon pink flavoring, grab it on onestopdiyshop - $5.50 = 30ml, 4oz = $15. I would get the 4oz, its pretty good stuff. Easy to mix with tbh and good on its own.
