This is surprisingly very Good!! Wasn't sure about this one, but turned out Great!!


All my flavors are The Flavor Apprentice unless otherwise noted. All recipes are 70/30 (VG/PG) @ 1.5mg/mL.

Cucumber - 3%
Honey - 3%
Koolada - 1%
Sweetener - 3 drops per 10mL

I really, really like this one. Maybe a week of steep will help it all come together more, but great right out of the Gate!!

Cheers

I recently got a bottle of cucumber. The plan is to make a eliquid something like Lushington by Stash. Cant say for sure but think its a peach/cumcumber cream. My Honey tfa is really dark and strong. Can you describe yours. Thanks.

Yes, my Honey is also Dark in color. I wouldn't say its a very "strong" honey flavor, but it definitely has a nice "honeyness" to it. This is the only recipe so far that I have used my honey, but If I do use it I would stick to a lower percentage. Good luck! Let me know how your recipe turns out!

Think I went a little too heavy on the cucumber. In the original, I taste the peach first and have to figure out there's some cucumber there, if that makes sense. Also, it needs to be a little creamier. I'm just not sure how to do that. This is the version 1:

Juicy Peach 4%
Cucumber 4%
Marshmallow 4%
Vienna Cream 3%
Sweetner 2%

And your using TFA for all these flavors?

If so, I found the Juicy Peach to NOT be very Peachy or Juicy, it was a good flavor but not as "Juicy Peach" as I was expecting. At a 50/50 ratio of Cucumber to Peach, I would think the Cucumber would have been all you would have tasted! I learned to use that one sparingly!

If it's not enough cucumber for you, try like 2.5- 3% Juicy Peach and keep the cucumber at 4%.

For creamier maybe try Sweet Cream + the Vienna Cream. That might make the Cream "Pop" a little bit more for ya!!

Just some thoughts...

If you a cucumber lover, you guys should try coval vapes "buck's" juice. It's a combination of watermelon and cucumber, it's amazing. I've been wanting to try and replicate it. It tastes so natural. The watermelon in it isn't the over sweet candy kind, it's like a spot on real watermelon. The cucumber just knocks it out of the park

If you want to add a creamy milkiness to it try adding some Meringue!!
Crazy, didn't know plain meringue excited. Only time I've ever heard that word, it had lemon in front of it.

I'm not much of a cook, so that probably why.
