Watermelon secrets??

[fletchbond]

Any other DIY's out there having problems with "bland" tasting watermelon?? I usually ad sweetener and ethyl maltol, but I still can't get the flavor to really "pop"

Fletcbond, I'll move your post over to DIY. You may get a little more help there.

Hi. Its probably best to include more info like which watermelon, what percentage you're using, etc. If I want a flavor to "pop" I add something acidic like lemon juice, vinegar, malic acid.

 

[fletchbond]

Sorry, I was using Flavor apprentice's watermelon at 20% with about 2% ethyl maltol and 1% sweetener

Thanks Caridwen, still gettin the hang of this

Try adding a drop of lemon juice per every 3-5ml. It seems to brighten up fruit flavors pretty well. I use this with grape, blueberry and lemonade.

I've yet to try a watermelon flav that didn't taste like rind! Not what I'm lookin' fer.

 

[Caridwen]

I have the same issue with orange. Tastes more like the rind than the fruit.

I did find one thread. Hope this helps.

capellas sweet watermelon is good. I'm vaping some mt baker (flavor west) and it is pretty dull tasting.

Hi Hoosier,

I've read your blog and am going to try DIY. How much raspberry do you add to the watermelon and which brands of flavoring do you use? Are you creating a natural fruit tasting watermelon vape or a candy tasting vape?

 

[Hoosier]

Both.

Start with a single flavor watermelon and get kinda' close. Start adding Raspberry slowly and keep notes, doesn't really matter which one, and get it closer. You'll see what I mean as the raspberry increases, it's weird...

I do start with TPA/TFA's watermelon though...

 

[Caridwen]

I'm going to try that!

You have any secrets for a good tasting cantaloupe?

 

[fletchbond]

Lemon juice i have in the fridge?? That works?

It's one of those unicorn tears that can work wonders with butterfly fart amounts.

Thank you. I really appreciate your help and enjoy reading your blog.

Well holy cow it worked! touch of razz brightened my watermelon right up, thanks Hoosier

Oh great news! I was hoping you'd let us know! I do happen to have raspberry.

Sometimes I get a liquid that just tastes flat. A tiny bit of sucralose helps. Not enough that makes it sweet, but it seems to brighten the flavor a bit.
