####Q: How do flavors get put on the schedule?
####A: Requests and suggestions from people like YOU!
If there's something you'd like to see, just post a request in this thread. You can request both a specific flavor profile and where it lands on the calendar.
Cucumbers are the BeST!! My favorites are CAP Cucumber (when I want a realistic, fresh cuke)... and FA Cucumber (for sweeter, organic cuke with attitude) . They’re just so light & fresh & different from most other vapes.
They work wonders with melon, mint, lime, herbs, cactus, etc... Plus, when I realized how great Cucumber was, it totally opened my eyes to vegetables, herbs, flowers, and a whole host of weird flavors! Thank you, motherfuckin’ Cucumber!
It's the gateway drug of weird mixing
And THIS GUY is the gatekeeper of weird mixing.
I def need to get back into using some cucumber.
It's so refreshing.
I tried cap cucumber at 3 or 4% Because I thought that was what I was supposed to do. It was not refreshing.
Gonna drop my own self promo recipe here which is on ATF (and reddit history if you dig far enough). I made it earlier this year and still like it so...there ya go.

Fair warning it is cucumber forward and the % is higher than what ID10T seems to like below so if you dont like a higher % of cuke, you may not want this.
There are a few flavors that scare me, cactus, cucumber and aloe. Mostly because I tried cactus, it was all the rage, and it ruined my mix, my cotton and my faith in the sanity of my fellow mixers. But, time heals all horrors, or dulls them some, and I’ll watch and see what you guys say. ✌️
Anxiously awaiting some favorite recipes. Never even considered cucumber as something I would want to vape. Curious as heck! Thanks guys.
I tried 5 recipes the last time Cucumber was the FOTW, just looked back over them and saw there was only one I gave 5 stars, and it uses WF African Horned Cucumber, which is not really a cucumber at all.
I have 6 recipes picked out to try this time:
Green Breeze by /u/mlnikon
Gimlet! by Kopel
Yosuke by /u/wolfwheeler , who I hope will tell me how to pronounce that properly
Berry cute by Ebc88. Gotta say, I'm concerned about the amount of TFA Blackberry there, but I'll give it a shot.
Cyro Cuke'd by Mcdulo - here comes the brain freeze!
and Kalahari Juice by /u/steve-tc - had to slip another African Horned in there, that looks like a delightful combination of flavors.
Green Breeze by /u/mlnikon is one of my favorite recipes since starting DIY, this recipe made me stop trying bakeries.
I really like the juiciness more than the cuke though so I would it would be super cool to hear any flavors that noted esp. u/mlnikon think could get added/subbed in. I was thinking I wanna try FLV sour apple...
i dont even know any good cucumber recipes, please enlighten me in the Way of the Cuke
This one is nice: https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/116160#cucumis_by_horsegame
But the recipes with cucumber that get the most love (as determined by sorting by rating) are the ones that use only a tiny bit of it, like Punched Guava and Moroccan Mint Tea
Why would anyone want to vape a cucumber?
I felt the same way at first, until I actually tried a cucumber flavor. Then my eyes were opened wide to a whole new strange world, from which I have never returned.
It's not for everyone. But to me it's nice and nostalgic, my mom used to mix homegrown cucumbers and cantaloupe together. We were the only two that liked it.
I messed around with both Cap and FA years ago but never received any feedback. This recipe is still in my rotation 4 years later. I would love any feedback on it.

I think I would like to see a Soursop (including Guanabana, PawPaw) episode.
I need to note that we just did that one year ago, and not much has changed on the cherimoya & friends front since then. But, since we’re currently scheduling deep into 2022, I’ll go ahead and add it again
Ok who requested cucumber?
How many are there? Two?
I'll still watch though. Thanks noted team for all you do.
I've been making this liquid for a couple of years but usually only vape it in hot weather. I find it very refreshing. I taste more melon than cucumber but the exhale smells more like cucumber. I'm not a big 'sweet' fan so you may wish to add a bit of sweetener to taste. I make a 30/70 PG/VG mixture, usually 3mg/ml nicotine. Depending on what mod/coil I'm using, I vape either around 40 watts or around 60 watts. Total flavoring 11.25%.
- 5% TFA Honeydew
