eh...watermelon is watermelon is watermelon :p
just saying....I mean not to say that some are better than others....but you should be able to achieve the same thing with another brand just fine.

[edit] the only thing I can think of on this instance would be the % as flv I believe are a bit more concentrated than some others...so you may need to play with with watermelon %

It is actually specifically this flavoring that is needed apparently. I am trying to get all the flavorings for a One Shot that I really like. The notes say it specifically needs to be FLV Watermelon.
I try to be safe with vaping. However, I believe everything of concern is dose dependent. I have vaped the baddies (diketones) If you are using it at 2% it will be so diluted. Remember cigarettes have Diacetyl in them. Some reading..https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ov/24635357/&usg=AOvVaw2Ac7QVXTA-Hn1xePn6eqzK Read the section on does vaping cause popcorn lung on this link..https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...a_story.html&usg=AOvVaw3QzcoOcoPvdeMd8CXhphh0
I'm sensitive but only concerns are clove oils and such that are added to some flavorings. Oil is not good to inhale. Just giving you some quick info. I personally have vaped flv watermelon when it first came out. I bought more to add to my melon mix. I use about 1%

    I am feeling no motivation today. I got a few bottles cleaned out and that’s it. My wife is thinking up something to do with our daughter today but I’m less than excited to go out running around to places.

    Maybe you should suggest they go together.

    The cake is done. Appearance wise I give it a C-, taste A+. If there is one tip for anyone who makes it, don't grease and flour the pans. Use a baking non stick spray... This cake is so light and fluffy that it gave me fits coming out of the pans.

    Forgot to mention this looks delicious. Did I miss the recipe? I might make this for a carb induced coma food day. :)

    Last couple years there hasen’t been much for killer deals.
    I'll say.

    Roadside Vapes sent out their 20% off BF email the other day. I looked at a mech I had my eyes on and they raised the price by $20. :confused: The same mech was $120 last year prior to their BF sale and they raised it to $140. This year they raised the price to $160.

    Great company, NOT. :mad: What a shoddy business practice. :-x
    I honestly don't need any more mechs or any other vape gear.

    Now that I think of it, RV raising their prices saved me $$$. :D

    So the 90 ppm is even further diluted. If that flavor is 10% of the final mix (gaahhhh!!!) , it's already down to 9ppm. And I'm sure the per cent of the mix is even lower.

    So how bad is a Diacetyl level of 90 ppm in a flavoring? I ask because one of the recipes I want to make requires FLV-Watermelon and there is a warning about Diacetyl.
    My preference is for ALL the flavors that have ALL the bad stuff in them. In my experience flavors with those things are some of the best around. Go for it, your taste buds will thank you. :thumbs:

    I have FLV Watermelon. It's good.

    If you want a watermelon that doesn't have diacetyl try FA Watermelon (Red Summer). It is, IMO, just like eating a fresh ripe watermelon. But it needs help to get there (FA Strawberry {ripens} + FA Lemon Sicily {adds brightness}).

    A couple other watermelons I like are MB Big Watermelon (candy-ish), VT Watermelon and FW Natural Watermelon.

    If you like watermelon vapes...

    HIC's Sweet Watermelon Juice
    4% FA Watermelon
    1% FA Fuji (apple)
    1% FA Lemon Sicily
    1% FA Orange (or use FA Royal orange at 1%)
    1% FA Pear
    1% FA Strawberry

    If you find that too sweet make it without the Pear. And increase the Fuji to 1.5% (increases tartness).

    That would be nice but I know better than to suggest it.

    The gutters need to be cleaned... it's not like she can check to see if you really cleaned them. Remember to open the ladder and leave it in the walkway to the front door. When they come home act like you forgot it out there. Also, a feigned sore shoulder adds some realism to the whole matter. You may even get a back rub out of the deal.

    Unfortunately I did that a couple weeks ago and she knows it.

    1) Suggest it via a post-it note and plaster that to her purse.

    2) Alternatively, text her the message while on a very, very long walk.
    Extend your walk as needed.

    I would opt for #2.
