Setup Mutation v4, single clapton (.2x.8 flat wire)/40g ss316L full wicks
Testing DIYFS Maniacal Melons 7% 70%VG steep 6 days
Flavor Description Artificial watermelon flavor, touch of honeydew and candy like apple in the background. Very perfumey throughout and not very strong so if you use more it’ll get worse. Does not get much better with a steep (going on 25 days). Even w/o the floral part this is not super tasty.
Off-flavors: Perfume/Floral bits that really distract.
Throat Hit: kind of harsh but goes away after a few days
Uses: maybe if you could cover up the perfume part it could be paired with fruits and candies but imo its not worth this there are better starting points for this flavor profile (FA fuji, LA watermelon, TPA watermelon)
Pairings: no one will buy this so there are no pairings Notes sorry this is brief it is just one of the worst concentrates I own.
Second Opinions Nothing much out there, a handful of private recipes use this on ELR and it is not listed on ATF.
Thanks for the review. Sometimes reviews warning people what NOT to buy can be just as useful as those giving folks recommendations on what to buy.
Definitely important. We're doing it for science basically so it's important to note whether the hypothesis (company claim that a flavor is what it says it is) is true or not. I hope no one buys this, not that it's TFA honey bad but just because it's so not worth anyone's time.
On the topic of honey, is there a certain honey flavor you would recommend?
FA Honey at like .1% or maybe if you make a 10% dilution and use at .5-1%. Pretty nice, real honey but it's too concentrated and thus not very flexible.
FLV milk and honey: not really a honey flavor but has notes that remind me of honey, and it has a natural sweetness that's close to honey. It's a great ingredient nonetheless and can be used as an additive or as a base note.
Haven't tried anything else.
I am always searching for the greatest melon on earth.....Thanks for the review, DIYFS Maniacal Melons doesn't seem to be the one.
Not even close. Again I'm glad these samples are just under 4ml so if you get a bad one it isn't much of a waste. Still going to try more DIYFS stuff but not until I run out of Holy Vanilla, which won't be for a while.
I want to try more Purilium stuff, Ive been getting my nic from Nicotine River (need to order soon) and their prices on many concentrates that I use are on par with or better than most vendors.
7 bucks for a 60Ml of FA kiwi?
Or something like 3.50 for a 60ml of TPA Vanilla swirl, good deals.
Anyway yeah this melons shit sucks, their angel food cake is one I'd recommend for sure. I've yet to use it in a blend but it's nice on its own and in sure will be great in many recipes.
