You can check out cloning process, as well as my previous failed recipe here:

Cloning - Watermleon Crack V.1

Without further ado, I will just go ahead and post the recipe and notes. I really need some feedback on this since I'm about all Watermelon'ed out

Watermelon Crack Clone V.2|% ---|--- Watermelon LA|9 Jungle Juice FW|5 Hard Candy FW|4 Marshmallow TFA|1 Watermelon FW|1 Cool Mint CAP|1 drop/30ml

Given the information provided to me of BleuxShadow's previous work here, I had a better place to start. This was definitely a much better place to start. The taste the was similar to WC, but there were still some things that needed worked out. All of his listed max VG's also seem to be accurate to their actual max VG, so I made sure to stick with 20% overall flavoring.

Jungle Juice FW is just a berry/watermelon explosion of menthol. It is providing that earthy undertone that I couldn't pin down in my original attempts, as well as all the menthol for the recipe.

For starters, the recipe BX posted was not sweet enough. This is where TFA Marshmallow came in. About 1%, it tastes just about perfect. Anything under doesn't make the juice sweet enough, and going too far over starts to dull the fruits a tad too much.

I dropped Hard Candy FW down to 4%. At 5%, I was noticing just a tad too much of the bitter grape candy. This is definitely where we are getting the hidden grape profile though. It's also providing some of the musky earthiness as well. The taste is undeniable.

The watermelon flavor also needed fleshed out a tad bit more. Watermelon FA was imparting too much rind even at the lowest of levels, so I subbed it out for Watermelon FW. This immediately tasted a lot closer to what I was trying to grasp at. It still had a small hint of rind, but it's a lot brighter on the palette as well.

Lastly, the CAP Cool Mint. There was just a last little bit of sweetness in WC that I couldn't obtain in my clones with the Marshmallow. It had me wondering if maybe I was using the wrong Marshmallow flavor, which of course would mean another purchase and waiting another week, so I kept going. After reading BX's description of the real WC again, I once again realized he mentioned there was just a touch of mint in the flavor profile. Boom! CAP Cool Mint has a touch of sweetness but it's very potent. Without disturbing the flavor ratios since I thought I had them right, I added just a minuscule drop for a 1ml syringe. Perfect. This is definitely in the mix. It also adds just a touch of extra freshness that I thought I was getting from WC.

#Conclusion

This is pretty damn close, but I may have vaped myself stupid on menthol. So please, someone who has these flavors, mix it up and let me know what you think. Feel free to send me PM's as well so we can bounce ideas off each other.

This also goes to show just how hard cloning a recipe can be. If you don't have all the flavors, and don't do your single batch tests, you may never end up getting even close. I was missing 3 of the most important ingredients that I had to order in, and may not have even considered them had BX not posted about his early attempts at this recipe.

Overall, I would say this clone is about 95% accurate. As I continue to go back and forth, I still think I might be using the wrong marshmallow flavor or not using TFA at a high enough percentage. Going to order the rest of the marshmallow and watermelon flavors I still don't have and go from there.
