Last week we shared our Tropical Storm recipe and with the weather continuing to warm up, we’re staying on the same track of refreshing fruity vapes. Melonade is a simple, light fruit and ice blend, which lends itself nicely to all day vaping. Since it doesn’t contain any additional sweetener, it’s also great for coil longevity.
Melonade – Recipe:
(FLV) Flavorah – Wild Melon – 3.5%
(FLV) Flavorah – Watermelon – 1.5%
(TFA) The Flavour Apprentice – Honeydew II – 1%
(FLV) Flavorah – Citrus Soda – 1.25%
(CAP) Capella – Lemon Lime – 1%
Additive – WS-23 – 0.7%
Flavour notes:
Our Melonade aims to be melon forward, with the lemonade taking a back seat. To achieve this, we’re starting with FLV Wild Melon. Wild Melon is described as a melon medley, though to me cantaloupe is the most prominent flavour. We’re pairing this with some Watermelon for additional tartness. TFA Honeydew II is a bright, sweet honeydew melon that bolsters the top note without dominating.
Next up is the lemonade base. I can’t take any credit for this, since it was All The Flavors user Staybert who discovered that the combination of FLV Citrus Soda and CAP Lemon Lime results in a bright, convincing lemonade note that can be thrown into just about any fruit mix. In this case, it’s providing a nice citrus finish that makes the melon more defined.
Melonade is finished with a good helping of WS-23. I find that melon recipes work well with a more noticeable amount of cooling, which is why we have added more to this mix than the 0.6% found in Tropical Storm.
Steeping:
Like many other fruit mixes, Melonade doesn’t need much time steeping time to be fully enjoyed. It vapes nicely straight off the mix, though comes together properly after 2-3 days.
If you mix this one up, please let us know your thoughts!
