Setup: Narda Clone, Single coil 26g Kanthal @.7 ohms. 25W Power, Half wicked with Native Wicks Platinum Blend
Testing: FW Cucumber Mint @ 4%. 70/30 VG/PG, steeped 8 days.
Flavor Description: Super fresh, strong cucumber with a nice mellow natural mint finish. I think the mint could be stronger but it is a very nice refreshing flavor. You get the flesh and the skin of the cucumber at this percentage and a nice leafy spearmint.
Off-flavors: Very clean flavor with nothing out of the ordinary
Throat Hit: Very light throat hit but nothing like you would think of with mint
Uses & Pairings: This would be good to freshen up a fruit mix or add a twist to cocktail recipes. I am definitely thinking of mojitos. This flavor would add a unique twist to a lot of lighter mixes. I would not use this in heavy fruits or creams or bakeries. It is very light and refreshing you want to keep it light.
Notes: I have only vaped it at 4% but it is a very full albeit light flavor. That may sound confusing but I don't know how else to describe it. The cucumber has come out quite a bit in the steep so expect it to be more mint heavy right away.
Second Opinions:
There is no mention of this flavor except a couple percentages on elr but no notes.
If you have different opinions on the flavor or any ideas on how to use it please post them in the comments. Lets start a discussion!
The sound of a fresh true tasting cucumber with mint sounds appealing to me. If we boosted the mint a little, anything need to fill the cucumber profile or you think it's a solid one off?
I'm sure some kind of floral would be a nice touch with it
I've been puffing on this mix for a couple of days now.
FW Cucumber Mint 4% FLV Cantaloupe 1% TFA Honeydew .25% FA Fuji .25% TFA Cucumber 1% INW Cactus .5%
Anything more than 4% Cucumber Mint gets weird to me. Anything less gets lost. Not sure if TFA Cucumber is doing anything other than adding to the rindy vibe I usually get from Honeydew if it's even doing that.
I like the mix.
I tried it at 8% and it was unvapable. Have a mix going on with 2% cuke mint, .8% fa lime tahity cold pressed, 1% almond amaretto tfa, 2% golden pineapple cap, 1% raspberry sweet tfa and coolada to your liking.
It's not perfect but it is definitely different from everything I had before.
Happy to see someone else using this flavor :)
This is a recipe I mix for a friend which is light and refreshing:
Mojave Mojito
FW Cucumber Mint 0.5%
INW Cactus Lime 1.5%
70/30
3mg
Simple, light, refreshing.
If I have INW Lime and INW Cactus, what do you think would be a good ratio to mix at to achieve INW Cactus Lime? I've never tried it before, so I don't know if it's just a mixture of the two flavors, or something different entirely.
