For most fruits, I just go in at 8% regardless. I've only gone down once, all the rest even out at 10% upwards.

thaks for the reply! actually i had %8 in my mind because i've ordered a 115ml 50/50 base and 10ml FA so it equals to 10ml flavor in 125 ml juice which is %8 lol ) 2 weeks for steeping right?

If you have the patience maybe don't mix it all up. If you make that up and its too strong or weak you'll be stranded.

I would definitely start off with a few small batches.
FA themselves recommend starting their watermelon at 2% - 3%.
I vape 50pg/50vg FA wm 3% ~ 5% max, IMO it turns horrid past 6%.
Most FA fruits I've tried has a strong overpowering sour flavor when mixed at high %, of course this dissipates over time slightly.


I'd try it right after thoroughly combining ingredients & allowing time for bubbles to dissipate. Then try it every day, I don't steep any fruit flavors for any set amount of time, usually overnight to maybe 3 days.
Once I mixed a double by accident at 7% it took 2 weeks before it was vapable.

My favorite stand alone fa watermelon is 3.5%.
Works well with sweeteners if you like sweet.
works great with green apple 3.25% watermelon 1% green apple.
3.3% watermelon 1.25% strawberry.
3.3% wm .5 - 1% cucumber.
3.75% wm .07% pineapple.

Yeah, all FA is recommended 1-3% but it is usually not the case unless you enjoy very mild flavour. Strawberry for example I've seen 10-15%. Try 10ml at 3% then keep adding 10 drops or .2ml till it taste good. Give you a ball park figure for the next 10ml.

FA Watermelon is a pretty Strong flavor. I would start in the 3 ~ 5% Range.

Yeah FA is tricky because it all has alcohol and is concentrated more then others so the line between next to no flavour and smelling/tasting like nail polish remover is very small. It will go away with age though.

thank you for the reply, it was very helpful! i added some 75vg/25pg base to reduce the flavor percentage to %5

it's now 115 ml 50/50 75ml 75vg/25pg and 10ml FA watermelon

8% might be Right on the Money.

All depends how Strong you want it. And how much you want to Sweeten it. And both of those are Very Subjective.

I just would Always lean towards using Less Flavoring than More Flavoring with an Unknown Flavor. Easier (to me) to Fix.
