I do like lemon a lot but I think either PJ or letitia would be the guru. I’ve bought and tried many lemon and lemonade flavors but got a little burnt out on them so have been taking a break from them. My number one lemon is FE lemon. It’s good and doesn’t seem to fade like a lot of other ones. I’ve bought so many lemonades that one time I took ten of them and made a stone.
It like a lot of pur flavors does some weird things with a steep. I get a little floral note off the shake but it steeps out in a couple of days, after about a week it gets even thicker like a jam. I try to let pur steep a week and that sounds odd for fruits but some are just weird about how they transform. Mango is the craziest as it doesnt even taste like mango for a week and then bam, perfect mango
I did a 1% banana and a 3% apricot. I meant to do a 1% for both but spaced out when I mixed the apricot. Decided to leave it and see what it tastes like. I’m sure I will be cutting that.
The Pur raspberry is the only thing I’ve anywhere recently bought from NR. If I like the INW near as well I can just order from BCF
Where I set my thermostat in the winter.Hey! Don’t forget us in La! It’s supposed to drop to the low 50’s the next few days, everyone here is freaking out about the “cold”
Tropical!
LOL. Maybe to you but not to someone who’s used to a wood stove.
Most lemon and lemonade flavors fade pretty quickly. Like @hittman, I am a huge fan of FE lemon as it is the most natural tasting lemon I have tried and it doesn't fade. VT Sour Lemon is my other favorite and it actually benefits from a 2 week steep. It takes that long for the sour to really come out.

- Lemonade
LorAnn Lemonade isn’t strong – I use 6% in my Lemonade. This is a sugary, tart, and bright lemon flavor. Maybe not a freshly squeezed lemonade, but a very good lemonade nonetheless. This is a sweet, tart, bright lemonade! You get mouthfeel here – sweet and tangy.
VAPE TRAIN
- Lemonade (Clear)
Tested at 7%. Strong, sour lemon on the S&V. After 48 hours, it is a fairly sweet/tart lemonade flavor. After 7 days, the lemonade flavor is stronger. At 18 days, it is still bright and delicious. It is a bright tart, realistic lemonade with no fizz. Of the lemonades I have tried, this is my favorite. I would use it like LA Lemonade at the same percentages, though this lemonade flavor is brighter and tarter and just a more fresh lemonade tasting than LA. Use this as the primary lemonade flavor at 4%-7%. As a background 2%-4%, stand-alone 7%-10%. This the perfect lemonade for mixing with other fruit flavors to make a Pink Lemonade or another fruit lemonade as the lemon flavor will hold up. It does fade though not after two weeks. I don't know how long until the fade begins.
- Lemonade (Solo)
Tested at 6%. This is stronger than the Clear but a bit perfumy on the S&V. Mostly a sweet flavor at this point. At 7 days, it is a sweet, soft lemonade flavor with less perfume on the exhale and the lemonade flavor is about equal to the Clear but sweeter, yet rather sharp and acidic. At 18 days, the flavor has faded a bit and lacks the bright lemon flavor of Clear. There is a very light perception of effervescence. This will probably be best used at 2% in a mix. There is better effervescence from other flavors, like Fizzy Sherbet or RF Soda Base, so I don't see that Lemonade Solo fills a void in flavors.
- Sour Lemon
Tested at 3.5%. Tart and bright after 48 hours if a bit weak. At 7 days, the flavor is stronger but doesn't give the sour I expected from something called Sour Lemon. At 15 days, the sourness has increased. This is now a pleasant sour juicy lemon including a bit of lemon flesh. It is the tartest of all the lemons I have tried. I LOVE THIS FLAVOR! It is great for adding some real tart lemon to a lemon or lemonade mix. 2 to 3% will do the trick. There is no noticeable fade at 19 days.

Thank you so much for saying that. I did a mango and was very disappointed (it was TFA so just figured it was another looser) but didn't let it steep. I need to be more patient.
My research shows that FLV Mango is the best (but too expensive)

Ours is at 68* year round. Himself likes it icy in the house. Nice in the winter, but it’ll take your breath away walking in on a hot day
. Has anyone used bilberry?? I’m *sure* I bought it for some recipe... ELR pegs it as a darker, tartish blueberry? One said works well with black cherry, pomegranate and black currant. Hmmm, maybe a reason to try out that and the bc and black currant all at once. Would love thoughts/ideas
Wow! Thank you so much! It copied/pasted just fine (into a text file for me to save)
I got Cap Lemon Sicily (even though I wanted FA but couldn't find it at RS) I am very happy with it actually... not bad at all. I always mix fruits with bakeries (or custard if I can find a nice mild one) I will be adding your list to my compilation of "best flavors"
I mix Bilberry with blueberry all the time. I think blueberry is too weak in taste without it.Ours is at 68* year round. Himself likes it icy in the house. Nice in the winter, but it’ll take your breath away walking in on a hot day
