My apologies on the delay! And to those of you that PM'd me, thanks for the reminder. Will do my best to update every Sunday!
The purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a flavor and it's many uses.
####We're not just looking for you to post recipes you have containing the flavor of the week, but looking for you to share your process as you develop a new juice using the flavor of the week.
This should help us all to better understand how certain flavors interact, and give us all a launching point to perhaps discovering new wonderful recipes.
###Please post new recipes created using this flavor as well as any and all tasting notes as main posts. Thought process is encouraged also.
This thread will NOT be in contest mode so the best flavors and reviews of those should move their way towards the top.
While I definitely encourage you to branch out with this flavor and use some more rare flavors, I would encourage everyone to keep it in mind that others will not be able to try your recipe and comment or offer assistance if they do not have the flavors you are using. I would also encourage you to use this week's flavor as the "main" flavor in your recipe although this is not required.
You BETTER sample and offer tasting notes on your recipe.
Good luck to everyone!
##This Week's Flavor is: Watermelon
Unlike in the previous monthly contest thread, I am NOT limiting this to any specific flavor from any specific vendor. After all, our goal here is to come up with perhaps some unique uses of the weekly flavor or combinations others may not have thought of before. This should allow for maximum participation as well!

If anybody has had the Antidote by Bamski, here is my (close) recreation:
- 12% watermelon (TFA)
- 9% Apple (TFA)
- 2% bubblegum (TFA)
- 1% ripe banana (TFA)
- 2% spearmint (TFA)
It's close. It is missing something. Subbing out the banana for something else might be it. Note this is for 80/20 vg/pg so the flavoring is a bit high. You can tone if down for lesser VG and it works out about the same.
Working on a pineapple/watermelon mix for my upcoming pineapple order.
So far it's looking like:
Coconut Extra 1%
Pineapple 4%
Strawberry Ripe 7%
Watermelon 4%
all tfa, should be more pineapple than watermelon because pineapple is super strong.
I'll second that on the pineapple being ridiculously strong. I mixed up some white gummy bear and several things happened. One, my coworkers said I smelled like a stripper 30+ minutes after vaping it, one even saying I made her face hurt. Two, it took forever between flavors to finally get rid of the pineapple. Three, I made the mistake of reusing the bottle, even rinsed it out better than I usually do. Now my strawberry cream tastes of pineapple. Never again tfa pineapple, never again.
Here's one I like
• TFA watermelon 5%
• TFA bubblegum 5%
Nice simple and juicy. This also works with juicy style
Edit I P'd where I should have F'd
This just reminded me that I picked up some tfa watermelon ona whim and I haven't mixed anything up with it yet. Is it more of a natural watermelon flavor or more candy flavored like a jolly rancher? I am hoping it is more natural since that appeals to my vaping tastes more than candy.
If a natural flavor I am thinking it would pair well with LA banana cream, tfa Bavarian cream, and tfa whipped cream.
5% tfa watermelon
3% la banana cream
3% tfa Bavarian cream
2% tfa whipped cream
Possibly .5% tfa coconut as well
Thoughts?
Here is one I just started working on:
- Watermelon(TFA) 2%
- Cantaloupe(TFA) .75%
- Honeydew(TFA) 1%
- Bavarian Cream(TFA) .5%
- Toasted Marshmallow(TFA) .5%
This is a work in progress, but so far is a nice subtle blend with nothing really overpowering anything else. However, I will be bumping up the percentages a hair when I make tomorrows batch. Any suggestions are also welcome.
I have a recipe i call HPC, it was originally honey dew, cantaloupe, and papaya.
one day i tried watermelon instead of the papaya, and it worked. I use 3 drops of koolada with it
all TFA
Honeydew 2%
Cantaloupe 3%
Watermelon 1.5%
3 drops koolada
i made it for my girlfriends Delta 2 tank and it seemed to work for her.
Similar to one I've been mixing for a bit, but I add some pear and koolada.
I'm also mixing around %14 total flavor @ 10mg, it may be a bit too strong. Going to cut it by a third with VG down to 3.3mg for my dripper soon.
Hey all! I have a question about a Watermelon recipe I was hoping you juice pros might know the answer to. I have TFA flavors and am trying to make this juice here that I found in another thread:
Tiger’s Blood Clone 6% strawberry 2 % watermelon 2% double coconut
My problem is that I only have regular coconut from TFA. I ordered the double coconut but they said they were out and sent me regular coconut. Do you think I can still make this using the regular but maybe adding more? I tried making this as per the recipe only using the regular coconut and its not impressive. I'm new to this and have only successfully made a few juices (My first two weeks without buying any store juice!!!!) but I'd like to see if I can do this one using what I've got. Thanks!
Honey Dew (TFA) 3%
Organic Strawberry (TFA) 4%
Strawberry (Ripe) (TFA) 2%
Watermelon (TFA) 3%
I got this one of the forums, reportedly it is similar to Spartan Wives by fuzion vapor.
It was quite perfumey at first, but after about 2 months of steeping, it is amazing.
I'll start us off with something simple and delicious. This is nothing special, no creative thoughts to share, but this is what got me from smoking a pack and a half a day to vaping full time a few years ago now.
- 10% LA Watermelon (preferably colorless)
- 2% Menthol
Simple, refreshing, delicious. Great on a hot day. That's all for now, if I have some time this week, I'll put up some detailed notes about a complex melon mix I work with.
Looking forward to your complex melon notes. I haven't had much luck with watermelon or any tropical fruit flavorings. BTW are you using the LA Watermelon w/o dye? I while back I bought 2 drams of the watermelon that came with dye (wasn't aware at the time their was colorless); and haven't touched it due to the coloring. Thanks again for your imformative posts!
Thanks for this, I've had a few requests for a cool menthol watermelon flavor lately. I don't have lorann's, I think I have something watermelon related from TFA. Any suggestion for starting point using TFA.
I think what I have is watermelon candy, haven't used it yet...
Am I the only one who thinks TFA watermelon tastes soapy?
It does a little when used over 8% (and even a little @ 8%). However, it's too weak on it's own under 7% IMO. Hence why I prefer LA.
Any idea where I can find some LA colorless watermelon? I am having some trouble finding information.
botboy's comment all the way at the bottom of the page says you can find it colorless @ OSDIYS (offline until May 15)
Has anyone had luck with Flavourart's Watermelon. No matter what percentage I use it at I get very little watermelon flavor from it. It's one of the FA flavors that I somehow have 2 bottles of and no good recipes from using it yet.
I get plenty of watermelon from it but it's more of a watermelon rind type of flavor. More realistic watermelon than anything else I have tried (maybe except for Flavorah). It's not bad, definitely weaker than most other FA flavors, but it does OK for me around 7%. It's not sweet like I'd like my watermelon to be though.
I have gone as high as 7%. I do agree that it has a 'rindy' quality to it. Maybe I am expecting an 'in your face' flavor like the other FA flavors. It is also a rebottled batch I got from Ecigxpress so I am not 100% sure it's as good as an original bottle. I haven't even cracked open my flavorah watermelon yet; forgot about that one. Been so busy lately that I haven't had much time to experiment with all this flavors I have. Thank for the input. Will try FA Watermelon at 7%+.
i use FA Watermelon and TFA Watermelon together, pretty tasty!
Was nearly to the end of some of my concentrates and thought id throw this together and its pretty damn great. The dragonfruit and pineapple are the base notes with the banana cream just creeping behind and on the exhale a really surprising but refreshing blackcurrant and watermelon finish. Just thought id share a happy accident.
- 1% Blackcurrant (TFA)
- 3% Golden pineapple (capella)
- 6% Dragonfruit (TFA)
- 2% Watermelon (TFA)
- 6% DX banana cream (TFA) Forgot to mention 80vg/20pg at 3 mg is superb.
