I do not buy LA often however when I do, I check this LorAnn Flavors- COLOR CODED Complete Ingredients List. Good reference for LA.

I do not recall that you had any plans other than a taste for watermelon and it was just a conversation we had — I think.
Gotta be more than a boy thing cause my younger son shares the rest of the family's bad memories.
Hoping your right on the watermelon. I seem to recall you saying you liked the 3 FLV melon flavors. Since I wasn't impressed with the few watermelon flavors I have tried I figured it was worth another shot.
Also what % would you do the melon sft's at?
At this time I have more FLV than I thought I'd ever want. I'm pleased to say the only fail is the super sweet Eisei? Tea
Might be one @ChelsB could try...IDK. ChelsB???
That would be too sweet for me. I would skip the CAP Super Sweet altogether as there is enough "sweet" in it already. Instead I would sub in FA Pear between 0.5 - 1%, thinking it would balance the whole mix a little nicer. I would also add FA Strawberry at 1 - 1.5% to it to better balance the watermelons.
Good cause I think your 2 cents + others 2 cents will help to get ChelsB to what she is looking for.
She has a lot of watermelons in her stash and I do mean a LOT. I don't want to pop the screenshot she sent me - I'll leave that up to her.
I will say she has eighteen watermelons --- yes 18 --- but no LA watermelon or FLV Watermelon.
Slight "paper" burning smell, hmmm, were you a 60's - 70's kid? Sorry, I'll stop now.
Now were cooking! That is exactly what ChelsB is looking for.
@ChelsB you may want to add LA Watermelon and FLV Watermelon to your cart. Look at what dc99 posted, I know you have PUR and I don't see MB Big Watermelon in your list. It's up to you.
This is your baby!!!
ChelsB, do you have FLV Candy Roll? That is a very nice one for any time you're looking to turn something towards "candy land". Might want to get that too because it will add a very nice candy element into the mix - but not until you've made and tested the recipe as is.
you should try dfs watermelon but it's $5.50 for a 1oz bottle (29.6ml) but all of dawn's flavors I have tried have always been spot on for me....
unfortunately no....I asked on an fb group and they said they'd got an email stating NicRiv won't be doing a sale, but sometime "shortly" should be having one.....ug....guess we wait....but i'm gonna have to order nic soon as I've got just a few drops left.
I too, have been on a watermelon quest. Though I am looking for "fresh fruit," and not candy profile.
I like where @ShowMeTwice is going with their thoughts. When I inquired earlier, @Myk was kind enough to share what works for him. And, it too, uses a combination of different watermelon concentrates.
I have yet to return to my watermelon venture (she is a cruel, cruel, mistress); but I have it bookmarked to try.
@IDJoel -- that's why I added FA Fuji to the recipe, it adds contrast and also by inc/dec Fuji you control the balance between "fresh fruit" versus "candy-ish". If I recall correctly lowering Fuji brings more "fresh" - I may have that backwards and it could be the other way around (honestly I don't remember).
I just looked at the recipe you linked from Myk and below he mentions INW Watermelon. It's a good candy watermelon (another that ChelsB doesn't have). I prefer INW Melon over it though because its a more realistic "melon" for me anyhow.
All this talk of watermelon...grrrr...I want to eat some NOW but don't have any! Next grocery store run I'm getting some.
IF (big if) I am trying to get a mint / vanilla flavor, plenty of TFA Creme de Menthe on hand ...
Should I try a light vanilla (TFA Vanilla Swirl), a creamy vanilla (TFA French), or maybe some VBIC ?
on just play mad mixer and do twelve of whatever... ?

I was at Trader Joe's a few days ago and bought a watermelon. I asked for a lesson on to tell a good one
. Have been eating it for the past days and oh my it is delicious and seedless too.No shipping notice from BCF — I was late to the party so it is OK. Have more than enough flavors to mix.

...y'all got me wanting watermelon and I have no LA !
I do have theTFA Capella Double Watermelon.
Made 15 mls at 5%...vaped it a bit then added 5% more.
Not noticing a burnt paper smell - have gone outside and come back in to check.
Not bad flavor wise...but not near as good as with LA
Edited : It's Capella not TFA

I am vaping Gallagher’s (Watermelon) Ice Pop. I forgot the recipe included WS-23 so I was like WHAT. Yesterday it was around 58 degrees during the day so thought maybe my juice was cold — seriously. For those of you that recommended 0.5% WS-23, this percentage is working well for me. I get the cold and no menthol so thank you all.
As far as the sub of 3% FLV Watermelon for 5% MB, this is just about right for me. This recipe was developed for one of the Developed guys who wanted to really taste the watermelon. I do get it upfront however as far as being in my face, I may need to up it by an additional percent as the WS-23 may be offsetting this a bit for me. As is though it is tasty for me and this is a recipe I will mix again — YMMV.
The Cranberry Fizz On The Rocks that I also added WS-23, I will let steep for a few days before trying — stay tuned. I have high hopes for it.

I thought so too. The only thing I had with honey in the name was honey and honeycomb.
I guess BCF didn't take the weekend off, got up this morning to a shipping email from them, meant to get here Thursday via Fedex, so glad I will get my order before I leave home next weekend
I got an email from BCF also. I'm still debating whether to place a second order.
