Good site/combo?

[creeperfan5236]

Hey all,

I was working on a juice I thought would sound good. I'm gonna call it Peachmelon. It's a mix of peach and watermelon. The first batch, the peach overpowered the watermelon. I used 20% peach concentrate and 20% watermelon concentrate. 50/50 PG VG ratio and no nic. I don't remember where I got them, since it was off ebay. My older cousin, he tried the last bit of Peachmelon I had. (It steeped enough so the color changed.) He said it was good. And the peach overpowered the watermelon like I said. He suggested using a watermelon candy, The peach flavor I plan to use is here and the watermelon candy is here. So is it a good price for the size? Has anyone used this site before? If any one of you can find something cheaper, cool, if not I got enough for the two. Also, the watermelon candy looked like a sour candy. Will it taste sour if I vape it? Just wondering. Thanks all!

that site has peach and watermelon, but not watermelon candy. If I was to use the watermelon from that site, should I use TFA? Every watermelon I've tried was very weak at 20%

I see TFA watermelon suggested at 15%.
I do it at 10% and like it.
I've also done it at 10% with 0.5% sweetener. (that may be what watermelon candy is)
When I first started vaping I did watermelon and cinnamon red hot. Heartlandvapes calls it Vixen. Sometimes with a little sweetener in it.

Every watermelon is weak, even FA's I've found. That said, 40% flavor seems nothing short of insane to me...

 

[creeperfan5236]

Ditto.

First... to me, Peach is always if not "overpowering", certainly "in your face". While Watermelon and Honeydew are the most subtle of all my beloved fruit flavors, both premade and flavorings.

So I'd never try to mix them evenly, and even given their 20% suggestion, I'd never make a mix with even 35% flavor, let alone 40%. Something weird happens with too much flavoring and I have no explanation, but it seems to mute the flavor, not increase it. "Insta-flavor-overload"?

I'd start over with half the melon and half again less of the peach.
It would be good if you have other brand flavorings to taste a bit off your finger, to compare the strengths.

What do you mean by make one with half the water melon and half again of peach? Do you mean use 10% watermelon and 5% peach?

So, if I was to make peach melon, but say that in this case, I tasted more watermelon. Would I add more drops of peach (counting of course) and add how many number of drops to the next batch?

 

[creeperfan5236]

If you meant to type "how ever many drops..." than yes, spot on. For non retail use, this ain't rocket surgery... it's personal preference. Enjoy.

MIX ALL THE THINGS !11!1

Ok... so that's not actually a good idea.

Haha, thanks man.

20% is too much flavoring and 40% is way too much. Everyone is a unique snowflake when it comes to how we taste things, but who would put half a bottle of vanilla extract into their cookie recipe?

I've experimented a little bit with peach and watermelon flavors--not the ones you mentioned--and found this is a decent combination on its own:

tfa Juicy Peach 6-8%
tfa Watermelon 3%

To the above I like to add the following:

tfa Raspberry Sweet 1%
fa Mango 0.25%

The raspberry seems to back up or...bump up the watermelon and the mango gives it some zing. (fa Mango is strong).

If you want a more of a sweet/sour candied flavor you could try adding 1% fa Mad Fruit and/or a tiny bit of malic acid in a 10% solution--like one drop per 10ml to start--or TFA Sour, used with similar caution. (I'm pretty sure TFA Sour is a malic acid solution).

I found peach and watermelon together sort of difficult to get balanced, and I won't say I nailed it, but that first ratio i mentioned is pretty good. And I honestly think you'll be pleasantly surprised by using drastically less flavor. Good luck to you!

Sorry I didn't see this. The first batch I did 15% watermelon and 6% peach. Both tfa. I had a friend try it. He said if I was to mute both flavors a tiny bit, it'd be perfect. So I took his advice and made 13% watermelon and 3% peach. So I think it tastes fine where its at now. I have a new challenge I want to achieve. A menthol cinnamon. Curious to know if it can be done.
