Watermelon help

submitted almost 10 years ago by pheonixxx1987

Hey folks, need some advice. One of my favorite foods is watermelon. Dunno why, ever since I was a kid I've loved watermelon. But no mater what brand flavoring I have, I can never get it CLOSE. Like off by a mile. Doesn't even taste like artificial watermelon. Last batch was just vg, nic, and TFA watermelon at 7% and even then it kinda tastes like a random mix of fruits. Advice?

Unfortunately through all of the watermelons I have tried, I could never find one that was very realistic. I hear things about realistic qualities of FA watermelon but that it is very "rindy" and less sweet. Maybe a combination of that and FLV Wild Melon can get you close?

This is my tier of favorite watermelons, none of which being realistic, but still taste good:

FLV Wild Melon

LA Watermelon (Colorless)

CAP Sweet Watermelon

Flv melon tastes like watermelon pop rocks, which is fucking great.

Yeah, it's amazing. I mix it with some bavarian cream and I can't stop vaping it.

Thanks. I'm well aware that it's not going to be realistic but I'd at least like to taste some form of Melon ya know?

I'm no watermelon expert but I gave away my FA Watermelon. I use TFA at 0.25% or less. I can't imagine TFA @ 7% but I swear I got an undiluted bottle. CAP Sweet Watermelon and FLV Wild Melons are the only bearable ones I have. Will be trying that MF.

Watermelon is almost as hard as Grape (my personal white whale). You might as well buy all of them. Then try all of the combinations. Hopefully one day you will teach us all the watermelon way and the watermelon light. Godspeed 1987, godspeed.

Have you tried Lorann's watermelon or Medicine Flower's watermelon? My two favorites.

Caps Sweet watermelon at 5-6% then augment it with a little TFA strawberry at 1.5-2%

FA watermelon is supposed to be more realistic and less "candy like" (which is what I get from Lorann's). Heard good things about FLV too.

I'm working with some myself right now. Trying to make s watermelon cucumber mix. I made a few test batches with the same one you have, TFA. Still needs some work. I did just pick up INW version of watermelon and am hoping it's a good realistic watermelon.

I know it can be done because I've had store bought juice with really realistic watermelon flavor before. Not sure if it's a single watermelon flavor, multiple watermelon flavors, or watermelon with other fruits in small percentages to round it out

INW is not realistic at all imo, but it's still very nice and quite strong. FA is good if you want realistic.

Is the INW one more candy you would say? Still have yet to get my testing on.

Yes, candy like or more artificial I suppose. Not overly sweet. I mixed it standalone @ 3.5% but 3% would probably be better.

I made a watermelon mint flavor using Double Watermelon by cap. This flavor is perfect, tastes on point and the people who buy my juice seem to love it

Did the same thing when I first started. Doesn't seem like a good single flavor mix flavor. In for advice!

Oddly enough when I got started I bought a start up kit from nude nicotine and with that they give you a few of there flavorings. One I got was watermelon. After 2 days of stepping it taste exactly like watermelon rind and all. Not a huge fan of it but it's spot on
