I think I created a limeade base, without using a lime flavor.

submitted about 6 years ago by PossiblyLance

Lemonade (LA) 6%
Lemon Sicily (FA) .5%
Koolada (TFA) 1%
Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit (FW) 2%

I wanted a Grapefruit/tart lemonade. Lemonade (LA) and Lemon Sicily (FA) seem to be a common base for the lemonade flavor. WS-23 is popular, I still like to use Koolada. Overall this recipe is not tart/sour, and I get the grapefruit lemonade flavor I look for when I vape it sometimes. It mostly reminds me of a Limeade. Any suggestions on creating a tart grapefruit lemonade? Should I increase the grapefruit? I know there are a few sour flavors available, any recommendations for this type of flavor? Should I skip the Koolada and aim for WS-23 or something similar?

It still tastes pretty good, and I am thinking I might keep it in my usual rotation, but any advice would still be appreciated.

Thanks all.

Apparently FLV Pink Guava tastes a lot more like grapefruit than guava, and supposedly, it’s the best grapefruit. Might be worth trying that.

The thing about FLV Pink Guava is that it doesn't mix well with others, kind of dominates the mix. But it's worth a try at least.

What are you talking about? It has mixed well in every mix that I had tried it in, you must be using it way too high.

Wowzers, I have a bottle laying around and it totally does smell like grapefruit. I don't know how I never noticed that.

Curious how this ends up. I tried to use FA Sicily >2% and it trashes my throat/lungs

You don't like FA Lemon Pledge?

2% is way too high unless you plan a 48hour steep.

But OP only used .5%... Admittedly .5% INW Lemon Mix would be better (as would replacing koolada with FA Polar Blast and WS-23) but at that level it disappears quickly.

Ah, I see that pesky period now lol. Initially read it as 5% :p

INW Grapefruit is a good grapefruit to mix with, nice and tart. Somewhere between a white and red grapefruit without too much rind.

Yes INW Grapefruit is the best and most realistic grapefruit I've tried. FLV Pink Guava does have some grapefruit characteristics but I do get a lot of the pink coming through - pink and tropical.

My shopping list would include things like VT Sour Lemon, INW Grapefruit, WF Sour Ball Candy, VT Lemonade Clear, and maybe for the sweet part of the sweet/sour dance I'd throw in 0.75-1% FLV Lemonade. The most important of these being INW Grapefruit.

Meh, weirder things have happened. Lemons, citrons, limes, grapefruits, and oranges are all basicially a mixed bag of hybrids of each other to varying degtees. Mixing them is bound to produce a product similar to their hybrids always.
