Hey all, I’ve been vaping around a year and have managed to stay of the smokes. I’m ready to make the jump into DIY. I’ve been studying the hell out of the sidebar and I’m most likely going to make the jump on payday. I’d like to start by using a few one shot flavors. I did some searching on here and I’m having trouble finding a cherry limeade. Just curious if anyone has any ideas where I could find this flavor? Thanks in advance. Really appreciate all the work that’s gone into the sidebar and boards.
I can't help you with your goal of cherry limeade, but I figured I'd share my "Blood OrangeAide" which is 4% LA Lemonade, 1% FA Lime Tahity Cold Pressed, 2% FW blood orange, 2% Cap Sweet Tangerine. The lemonade base I stole from a recipe on here somewhere, but I put in the lime cold pressed instead of a lemon of some variant I have since forgotten. This creates a nice lime-ade base without extra flavors. I put in the 2 & 2% of oranges for my attempt at a more flavorful orange which pairs quite nicely with the limeade. Perhaps you could find some tasty cherry concentrates and sub them for the orange and see what happens?
I was considering mixing something along these lines in the past when I picked up Sweet Tangerine. I don't have Blood Orange but maybe I could find a way to make it still turn out well.
I heard the ST was a bit harsh and not too dimensional of a orange, while FW blood orange is a absolutely delicious blood orange, very pulpy if that makes any sense. Some say it has a chemical taste but I personally don't taste that, nor do any of the people I know who have tasted it either. I would highly recommend it. I feel like you can subsitute it for most any fruits, it would change the recipe from the orange but would turn out well. Now I'm going to have to mix up a blueberry limeade
I like the ST actually, used it for some random fruit concoctions and as a component of a Hawaiian Pog esque juice and it was delicious. I just got two more watermelons and blue raspberry last week so not really trying to add to my already overflowing drawer of concentrates right now but if I kill a few may consider it as a replacement.

Cherry Limeade
-
1% INW Cherry
-
.5% INW Raspberryl
-
.5% FA Lime Tahity (cold pressed)
-
.25% INW Lime
-
.75% FA Lemon Sicily
-
6% LA Lemonade
I mix this at 70/30 VG/PG and it’s simply amazing.
If you can't find it in 1-shot form, Cherry Limeade could be your first DIY project. I've never tried a cherry limeade recipe. This is what I came up with - might get you started. I'll be mixing it myself when i get my next order in.
- INW Cherries 3%
- VT Persian Lime 2.5%
- INW Lime 0.25%
- FA Citrus Mix 1%
- CAP Super Sweet 0.5
- WS-23 1%
You could also add 2% LA Lemonade, or 2% VT Fizzy Sherbet. Depending on how the lime interacts with the INW Cherries you just bump up one or the other until you get the happy ratio. There's so many options for this profile. I made up a quick SnV last night which turned out great and is quite similar to this, a cold lime-blueberry.
/u/Apexified posted a good list of one-shots recently. There are one or two that might be nodding in the cherry limeade direction.
Be sure to read flavor reviews on all one-shots/flavor concentrates as cherry is one of those flavors that is often hard to translate to vape well and easily can get medicinal. There are definitely good ones (INW Cherries IMO), but they are much fewer and far between than something like strawberries, which are generally always a safe buy
...except they usually taste like strawberry, and thus are garbage.
But back onto good fruits -
TFA Cherry Extract and FA Cold Pressed Lime tahity, with a bit of FA Polar Blast and WS-23, maybe .2% INW Cactus as well, and you should be able to make a decent cherry limeade.
