Notes
See my website for flavor notes

You can go up to 5% sweetener if this is not sweet enough, as I found that is probably closer to what is in the original commercial version. You could also sub it for 2% Cap SS, or if that is too sweet for you, 1% Cap SS. You could also use up to 3.5% FW or JF sweetener. Or 0.75% of FLV Sweetness if you want to avoid the sucralose altogether.

absolutely without a doubt the best mega melons recipe on this site. I have tried 5-6 different highly rated versions and none compared to this. I am telling you if you want the perfect clone this recipe is it. Jennifer you have amazing talent and thanks a million again!
#2 by miiike, Jan 1. 2017, 07:27
papaya really do a big difference if is not included and upping the Mango?
#3 by Mmh1972 , Jan 1. 2017, 10:04
@Mike follow the recipe as posted and forget all the others on this site this is the Melons recipe 100% without a doubt....use specific gravities also if you can
#4 by miiike, Jan 3. 2017, 13:24
I Would like to follow all the recipes as they are. Its just because i dont have the Papaya
#5 by Jdecker, Jan 25. 2017, 21:10
great recipe. iv tried this and the original monster clone. this is with out a doubt 10x better. thank you
#6 by ignite426, Feb 16. 2017, 20:25
can i replace honeydew with anything?or just skip it all together? have all the ingredients except for honeydew
#7 by Jennifer Jarvis, Feb 16. 2017, 21:13
If you happen to have a bit of bubblegum...try replacing the honeydew with 0.5% bubblegum. It's not the same recipe, but it's pretty awesome. For another alternative, try 1% of an energy drink flavor. To keep you in the same family of flavors, Kiwi also works, or passion fruit. It obviously changes the recipe completely, and it is no longer mega melons, but it's pretty good.
#8 by Sawyer, Mar 6. 2017, 22:42
I just whipped this up in a 15ml, it's so good that I'm making a lot more! Thanks so much for this recipe, you really are awesome! Thank you again!
#9 by benjy337, Mar 11. 2017, 06:01
I've never tried the original and don't usually vape fruit flavors, but I just tried this and it's very good, thanks!
#10 by ignite426, Mar 13. 2017, 04:32
@jennifer i made this with bubblegum like you suggested and wow!its really good...will be making a much bigger batch!thanks
#11 by Sergio Fagundes, Mar 19. 2017, 23:43
I only have Honeydew II version from TPA. Will this version II works just as good in this recipe ?
#12 by Sawyer, Mar 20. 2017, 15:37
Sergio, I used Honeydew II and it came out amazing!
#13 by Sergio Fagundes, Mar 26. 2017, 22:20
@Sawyer, thank you, i'll make it now.
#14 by Sawyer, Mar 27. 2017, 07:03
Anytime Sergio
#15 by kucherenkoZZZ, Apr 6. 2017, 22:18
Tnx, very sweet and tasty recipe!
Recomended 100%
#16 by MadTownMax, Apr 7. 2017, 07:04
I tried original mega melons and was not impressed - this just as a SNV is incredible. I know i'm a sucker for the sweet vapes but it brings out so much more flavor - thank you!
#17 by JohnnyLack, Apr 25. 2017, 05:42
Hella harsh. Id try juicy mango cap. Mixed exactly as u have with alot less sweetener. I like the idea but the recipe needs help. Tpa mango has a wierd note.
#18 by Jennifer Jarvis, Apr 25. 2017, 10:43
Johnny, it's a clone of cuttwood mega melons. CAP mango wouldn't go right because it's not the flavor that actually was in the og. I did however make a V2 that you might like better. It's obviously not a clone of mega melons but a revision of the profile using other brands of flavoring. To me V2 is far better, but I am also super sensitive to aromas and this recipe, like the original, is a bit strong for me. The harshness does fade after about 2 weeks steeping. Fresh it can be a bit much. Oh and as far as the sweetener goes, for a commercial clone, it might be on the lower end of what is actually used. Their juice is rather sweet.
#19 by Alaskavaper, May 10. 2017, 06:22
A wonder melon mix. I am mixing another 200ml tonight. Thanks for posting.
#20 by Austin P., May 18. 2017, 23:45
Jennifer, have you tried this recipe with super sweet rather than sucralose sweetener? Citric acid from super sweet will add an ever so slight lemon and the sodium citrate would create a sour/sweet addition? Im going to try this exact recipe with 2% super sweet to replace sweetener.
#21 by ViTALiTY, May 21. 2017, 20:53
This is amazingly good. Thanks for the recipe!
#22 by Criss Trees, May 21. 2017, 22:44
This looks amazing am batch some right now,

I have 2 Q
I have Cantaloupe (CAP) should i go with it and what % I am thinking close to 5%

and why is there so much Sweetener (Sucralose)
is it possible to drop it to half the % I kinda hate sugary juice and would like more fruit flavor,

and at last thanx for the sharing great recipes
#23 by MadTownMax, May 22. 2017, 02:31
After a few weeks this has gotten pretty sweet - even for me. This think I may try 1% sweetener and increase to taste after 3-weeks of steeping.
#24 by Jennifer Jarvis, May 22. 2017, 03:10
The recipe is a clone. It is styled after the actual juice which is rather sweet, in fact it is actually sweeter than my version. You all are welcome to adjust the sweetener to your own taste preferences, you do not have to follow my amount exactly, unless you are looking for more of the clone experience of the commercial version of this juice. As I've stated I prefer Flavorah Sweetness over Sucralose, and have a V2 of this recipe with FLV and FA flavors instead. If you are using CAP Cantaloupe anything between 4% and 6% might be suitable to your tastes, since it is almost the same concentration as TFA. 5% I am sure would be fine.
#25 by Criss Trees, May 22. 2017, 21:51
due to I never tried any commercial premium juice at all and I kinda dont want to hhhh, I started DIY for the reason to fidget with something to get me off the poison cigarettes and I have been mixing/vaping for almost 3 years all flavors made by me and recipes by other mixers like you, I have made two batches one to my liking and your original recipe ill keep you update to where thats gonna lead me i did like it after 24/h tong dripped "yah am the crazy one that drinks his ejuice when the battery dies :P " and vaped it the flavors are not yet there but oh boy i can see where this is going and cant wait for it to hit 3 weeks anniversary
#26 by Kraven1978, May 27. 2017, 03:12
Jennifer Jarvis , if I Will put 0.5 Sour tpa on this, thats will be good?
#27 by Sergio Fagundes, Jun 4. 2017, 14:07
Made this and is good. But after using it, every juice I put in my tank tastes muted melon hahahha. I have vaped 2,5ml of mega melons and after I vaped in the same tank (Serpent mini) Mothers milk, Pancake man and now milkman, but the melon is present muting the flavors of these juices. Oh man I need to keep an exclusive tank for this juice. Is it happening only with me ?
#28 by Notorious, Jun 9. 2017, 06:28
Am I the only one who thinks this isn't quite sweet enough.
#29 by Andrea, Jul 11. 2017, 08:24
To be honest I was a bit nervous when making this because some of the flavors had a smell I didn't find appealing at all. However, once I made it I have to say it's definitely one of my favorites! The vape is good but the after flavor is what makes this amazing in my opinion, it leaves a delicious taste in my mouth!
#30 by Mmh1972 , Jul 16. 2017, 03:23
Give this a month steep and its absolutely amazing...its great as a shake n vape but a month wait and its truly better than cuttwoods version
#31 by Jennifer Jarvis, Jul 16. 2017, 15:10
For comment #27 @Sergio Fagundes -- it isn't just this recipe. Many flavorings will soak into your cotton and leave a slight residue of the existing flavor. That happens whenever you put drastically different flavorings into the same tank without changing your coil prebuilt coil (if you're sub tanking) or cotton with a quick rinse of your tank (without changing the coil - unless it needs it) in an RTA. This is one of the reasons I tend to use drippers rather than tanks, simply because I am changing flavors often and need to change my cotton and give my RDA a quick rinse out.
#32 by Gingebre, Jul 19. 2017, 21:20
I prefer this version than the others in ELR, I feel this one is more balanced and I enjoy it the most.
#33 by plazma, Jul 30. 2017, 16:48
orj recipe 6weeks stepping time huh, whats your step times ?
#34 by Calcilculcelcol, Aug 7. 2017, 17:56
i tried this last night and shake and vape today so awesome ! thanks for sharing
#35 by speedee, Aug 15. 2017, 22:51
hi guys and girls. im new here, in fact this flavor sounds so good i just received all the ingredients and it will be my first time mixing. i have a noob question, i see comments that steeping time, roughly a month, brings out an amazing flavour. i had a question on the steeping, do i simply put it n a dark place for a month or shake it up now and then/ let it breath for an hour or two etc?

thanks in advance.
#36 by LBabcock, Aug 16. 2017, 03:33
I mixed this today. Love love it. Can't wait to see what some steep time does
#37 by Jennifer Jarvis, Aug 16. 2017, 15:20
Speedee- I wouldn't breathe this recipe. You will lose too many of the top notes by doing so. It doesn't really need it either. Some folks love it shake and vape, I find a week or two steep and it is smooth and sweet. A full month is when it is at peak flavor, meaning the flavorings have completely stabilized. Where you steep it is up to you, I steep things right on my desktop, others put them in drawers, boxes, or cabinets.
#38 by speedee, Aug 16. 2017, 16:45
thanks for the speedee reply Jennifer! going to make 2 batches by the weekend, one to steep and one because i cant wait to taste it.
#39 by speedee, Aug 16. 2017, 16:59
@Jennifer, i could only get honeydew 2, do you suggest the same ratio?
#40 by Bane213, Aug 21. 2017, 22:05
Nice job on this Jennifer. I adapted it to go with what I have on hand and what flavors I prefer so I'm sure mines a little different in the flavor category. I used Purilum Golden Eye instead of tpa mango, FA cantaloupe (dropped it to 3%), and added 2% Purilum melon patch. Waited a week to try it and so far it's a nicely balanced and smooth melon collaboration of flavors. Almost creamy as well. Thumbs up!
#41 by Jennifer Jarvis, Aug 22. 2017, 22:20
Haha @Bane213 -- I'm glad the recipe could serve as inspiration for your own creation. That is one of the reasons I put recipes out. Not everything will work for everyone, heck I'm not even the biggest fan of this recipe, it was just intended as a clone, and I wasn't a fan of the original juice. I remixed this recipe many times using many different ingredients, all that came out far better. I did release one of those versions using all FLV flavors at super low amounts which fits my tastes. I've also done versions with FA and Cap and MF and INW. I've liked most of those versions far better. Nice to know Golden Eye can work as a sub for the TFA mango. I've not tried that flavor yet. :)
#42 by Jennifer Jarvis, Aug 22. 2017, 22:23
@speedee -- I would imagine using the v2 of honeydew would be about the same amounts. Pretty sure the v2 one is only missing the alcohol that the original version had to make it easier to ship, I don't think they really changed the formula for the flavor itself all that much.
#43 by Bane213, Aug 23. 2017, 07:05
@jennifer, I've actually never tried the original Monster Melons. But love a good melon vape. I've made a bunch of my own and always switch around the ingredients myself. Definitely try Golden Eye. If you like mango, it won't disappoint. Not sure if it works for a sub for TFA because I never tried TFA mango. CAP sweet mango was my only other choice and not a fan of that one.
#44 by speedee, Aug 23. 2017, 18:12
@jennifer - i dropped the sweetner to 1% and added 2% distilled water to avoid the wicking issues of my first batch.. i made it first with 0nic, but i made a second batch with 3mg and the adjustments...allowed 3 days steeping and boy oh boy.. if this was a drug id be in hospital because of an overdose! love it!
#45 by Alaskavaper, Aug 25. 2017, 02:58
Jennifer's Mega Melons has become one of top 3 favorite liquids. I have just mixed up my 3rd 100ml of it. I do not have the TPA so I have been using JF Honeydew that seems to be fine. I also use FW sweetener. What I enjoy is the robust balanced melon flavor and appropriate amount of sweetness. I looked at Jennifer's Version 2 and even though the percentages used seem unbelievably low, if I had the appropriate flavors I would try that as well. If anyone has mixed V2 please add a comment.
#46 by The Vaping Surveyor, Aug 27. 2017, 17:30
Very nice recipe Jen! Enjoying it :)
#47 by Ckemist, Aug 29. 2017, 22:47
Great recipe Jen!
#48 by Alaskavaper, Sep 1. 2017, 03:42
I finally got the flavors for Jenn's original MM clone and have been vaping it for a couple of weeks now. It is a very smooth and gentle and mellow vape. I find, however I prefer my mix in which I used other flavor concentrates that I had on hand in lieu of her flavors , including a big cotton candy (ethyl maltol) error. It is a much brighter flavorful experience and I find it my go to liquid especially great in RDA's see 'Mama Melons My Way' if interested in trying it.

Jenn is a wonderful talented mixicologist (sp?) and she has a very good series of YouTube videos that are highly recommended. I look forward to further inspirations from this lady.
#49 by The Vaping Surveyor, Sep 1. 2017, 05:00
Mixed up a.60ml one shot....there goes.my papaya sample!
#50 by Mmh1972 , Sep 4. 2017, 05:10
6 weeks and its yellow and perfect...just made another 120ml...patience and this recipe delivers a perfect vape
#51 by namnbyte, Sep 7. 2017, 15:32
1 day of steep and already my future ADW
#52 by Senolsahin1903, Sep 16. 2017, 09:59
2ml cantaloupe suitable?
No Honey dew # bu Jennifer Jarvis
#53 by DDrama, Sep 17. 2017, 21:16
I tried the other melon clone a year or so ago, there was something off about it but became pretty good after 5-6 weeks steeping.
Does this one require a long steep?
I didnt have honeydew so debated between dragonfruit or watermelon candy tfa. I went with watermelon candy....we will see
#54 by Jennifer Jarvis, Sep 18. 2017, 17:34
Any substitutes or changes will result in a different profile. I encourage folks to use my recipes as inspirations, but if you never try the origin recipe you won't know how it compares with your creations. Not using honeydew changes the recipe drastically. Using dragon fruit or watermelon as subs will change the flavor profile drastically. As for steep time, as you see from the comments, can be shake and vape, 3 day steep, or 6 week steep...just depends on how you like it. Personally, most things I vape have at least a 4 week steep with exception to a few shake and vape recipes that I like to vape.
#55 by Sobennikov2007, Oct 5. 2017, 21:19
Спасибо большое за рецепт! Так как у меня нет Papaya, я заменил его на Peach juicy. Получилось очень вкусно. Буду ждать настоя и тогда смогу оценить полноценно.
#56 by Jellybean, Oct 5. 2017, 23:29
I started out DIYing because I wanted to make a monster melons clone, and this was the first recipe I made. Hasn’t quite finished steeping yet but after 3 weeks it’s already exquisite. A great start, thank you Jennifer.
#57 by Pagh, Oct 9. 2017, 20:36
Never had the original so can't compare. But I'm really enjoying this, although I "only" used 2 % sweetener. I may go down to just 1 % next time, but I wouldn't change any of the actual flavorings. Thanks for sharing!
#58 by RedSfid, Oct 19. 2017, 15:29
This is by far my favorite all day vape. You nailed it Jen. Thanks for sharing!
#59 by David, Oct 20. 2017, 04:48
Great mix! This along with another recipe I mixed really turned me on to melon vapes. So glad I found this recipe. Thank you!!! 10 stars all day!
#60 by Tzimisce, Oct 23. 2017, 08:35
Amazing mix! Thank you!
#61 by Stafylidis Vladimiros, Oct 25. 2017, 09:49

#62 by Hasan, Oct 28. 2017, 04:22
Nice and tasty!
#63 by XxXMixkingXxX, Oct 28. 2017, 06:54
Sounds yummy
#64 by StonedSober, Oct 29. 2017, 04:56
Instantly one of my top 5, fantastic recipe!
#65 by Rinaldo, Oct 29. 2017, 17:08
steep time?
#66 by fuzefactory, Nov 2. 2017, 15:26
hey Jen, am missing mango and guava, was thinking of adding jackfuit byTPA, your thoughts pls....?
#67 by fuzefactory, Nov 2. 2017, 15:27
Papaya, sorry no papaya or mango
#68 by Hasan, Nov 2. 2017, 16:23
Rinaldo I didn't feel like it needs steep time for me, I vape it after 2-3 days anyway and it still tastes the same after one week steeping.
But I really recommend this one so smooooth and delicious!!
#69 by Jennifer Jarvis, Nov 2. 2017, 16:34
Not everyone needs to steep their fruity types of juice as long. It has to do with the differences between us all as unique vapers. I tend to find most juice harsh for at least the first few days. I do have some flavors though that I can vape fresh without much issue. Other flavors need to steep at least 3 days, or 1 week, and then others need a full 4 to 6 weeks, some even nearly 8 weeks to be fully steeped and not harsh. This is the same way some people like CAP V1 Vanilla custard fresh, others taste pepper, and others still love it at 3 months steeped. Everyone's different and over time you get to know what you like and how you like it when it comes to mixing recipes of your own. :)
#70 by Hasan, Nov 2. 2017, 17:13
Right, and that's why I wrote "for me.
#71 by Jennifer Jarvis, Nov 2. 2017, 17:52
Yes, I was agreeing with you. Posting more for folks who may look at the recipe and comments and be confused over steep times being suggested. :)
#72 by fazro, Nov 7. 2017, 18:24
One of the best I've tasted.
#73 by Brett, Nov 15. 2017, 09:25
Followed the recipe exactly. Steeped for 4 weeks. Tried RDA and Tank at different settings over period of 1 week. Never tried the original, but disappointed with this recipe. Not much flavor, but kinda soapy taste
#74 by Kk_hz, Nov 17. 2017, 08:53
This is a very identical or exactly the same vibe and flavor with the original version ive tried.

I mixed this with less sweetener cause i cant help imagining vaping 3% sucralose so i downed it to 2%.
And then steep for about 4-5 days, doesnt take much to steep i believe, and the result damn so flavorful! And its a good flavour combination too.
Very well done.
#75 by Cvg2017, Nov 29. 2017, 04:33
Hi Jennifer could you possibly advise me on percentages for Fa melon cantaloupe, Fa papaya, Jf honeydew melon and Fa mango(costerica special) thankyou in advance I've been wanting to try this for ages ;)
#76 by Anodyne Vapor, Dec 7. 2017, 03:18
I was wondering if you think it would be possible to use Phillipine Mango (TPA) as a sub for mango (TPA), I only have the Phillipine in my stash so don't have a clue how they compare.
#77 by The Vaping Surveyor, Dec 7. 2017, 03:36
I used the Philippine , and it taste great! @Anodyne
#78 by Anodyne Vapor, Dec 7. 2017, 13:16
Thanks @Michael305 I'll give it a shot
#79 by Tony R., Jan 6. 2018, 17:33
Good One! Thanks for sharing!!
#80 by Hasan, Jan 19. 2018, 23:08
Thanks again I love this recipe it should go up so everybody can enjoy it!!
#81 by Hasan, Jan 19. 2018, 23:11
@Jennifer Jarvis the best!
#82 by oldmonster, Feb 2. 2018, 18:03
Very good! Before making I wasn't very sure but it exceeded all my expectations. I will try more recipes from you.
#83 by Red Dog, Feb 7. 2018, 06:15
Best MM clone out there!
#84 by Pagh, Feb 10. 2018, 01:44
So nice with .75 % SS instead of the 3 % Sweetener.
#85 by TheJakeBailey, Feb 15. 2018, 15:02
I haven't had MM in a few years, but this is pretty spot on from what I remember. Nice job!
#86 by StephanMark, Feb 17. 2018, 20:25
Never had MM but OMG, this is one of my ADVs
#87 by Alex, Feb 20. 2018, 01:04
Absolutely without a doubt the best Mega Melons recipe on this site! I have tried different highly rated versions and none compared to this. I am telling you if you want the perfect clone this recipe is it. Jennifer thanks again!
#88 by Pellefix, Feb 23. 2018, 14:01
My favorite
#89 by Rudrar, Feb 23. 2018, 22:51
I have cotton candy but don't have sweetner. Can I use cap super sweet. If yes what is the percentage should I use.
#90 by kerichan, Feb 24. 2018, 03:21
Super delicious!! I've never tried the original, but tried the Mike's melon clone first because it had more ratings, but yours is much better. That little bit of honeydew really does It! Thanks so much!
#91 by Jennifer Jarvis, Feb 24. 2018, 16:43
@Rudrar, if you're going CAP super sweet, I'd go with a range between 0.5% and 1.5% depending on how sweet you want it. CAP SS is significantly sweeter than the 5% sucralose that TFA's sweetener has in it. You might even want to go down to 0.25% on CAP SS if you don't want it ridiculously sweet.
#92 by Hasnain, Feb 27. 2018, 06:16
I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I was to vape this.. I made a test batch 10ml, was patient and let it steep for about 10 days, and the end result is an AMAZING, FLAVOUR PACKED vape experience!! Thank you so much ma’am!!! Love from India.
#93 by Rudrar, Feb 27. 2018, 08:36
I didn't got honeydew but I got honeydew 2. Can you guide how much honeydew 2 should I use.
#94 by hatjr, Feb 27. 2018, 09:18
This really is a great mix of flavors. I'm a novice mixer, but I can honestly say this is the most impressive recipe I've found on ELR.
#95 by Stephen, Mar 11. 2018, 16:21
Does this need a steep as all i can taste is the cantaloupe??

#96 by Jennifer Jarvis, Mar 11. 2018, 17:00
Honeydew V2 from TFA should be the same amount. The only difference between them is the original has alcohol in it that made it flammable. The formula for the melon flavor is the same though as far as flavoring chemicals.

Yes it may need up to a 6 week steep for some people.
#97 by goldenliquidrops, Mar 13. 2018, 13:28
Jennifer u are a genious, it was because of your youtube and other youtuber videos i started DIY. And what do i see at the top recipes? Your name and i had to try it out so i bought all the flavours and i made this a week ago. And its so great i mean its just heaven for me, people like you make us really enjoy vaping, i really love you guys helping others and sharing your knowledge on youtube and posting recipes on here. If i may ask you one question what do you think of throwing in some koolada in this recipe, will it screw up the taste or something? if not then how much would u reccomend for this one? im used to malaysian ejuice brands bcuz they have that cooling effetct that i like.If i could throw in some koolada in this it would be my ADV for a very long time. Thank you very much Jennifer.
#98 by Jennifer Jarvis, Mar 13. 2018, 15:10
I'm glad you have found the inspiration you needed for your mixing journey. For your question, TFA Koolada won't give you the same results you are seeking in terms of coolness, as if you push it high enough to give a good cold feeling you also get a cough drop taste. Might be better to look at WS-23, or ws-5, or ws-3...the smaller numbers means colder, so 3 is colder than 23, and I can tell you ws-23 30% is super cold at 0.4%. You can use TFA Koolada or FA Polar Blast in this recipe with good results if you don't want super cold but mild cooling, using up to 1% of each of those, but anything over 1% often gives the cough drop kind of taste to them.
#99 by goldenliquidrops, Mar 13. 2018, 19:40
Thanks for your reply Jennifer, im gonna look into WS, never heard of it before now, always tought it was koolada in it :) Thanks for sharing your knowledge its much appreciated.
#100 by SthrnMixer, Mar 16. 2018, 23:34
Oooh lookie here. I'm number 100!!! :) Jennifer I didn't have the TPA Mango so I subbed with FA using it at 2%. Not sure how much this altered the taste of your recipe but I can say this turned out very nice. Thanks for the generous share, as always!
#101 by Ashraf, Apr 21. 2018, 14:06
The best juice i have ever made...
Can`t live without it
#102 by Hudmo2017, Apr 23. 2018, 20:06
All I can taste is honeydew :( will give it a couple of weeks and see if it has settled down
#103 by i_am_god_808, Apr 29. 2018, 21:04
Mega taste but wayyy too strong for me ;(
#104 by Sidhu, May 9. 2018, 22:16
Hi Jennifer! Thanks a ton for this recipe. I mixed it 6 weeks ago, and till the 3 week mark I found it too strong/sharp/harsh for me to enjoy on my DTL tank.
Today I topped it in my MTL and am enjoying it a lot!
I was wondering if I could add something to get a vanilla/bakery note in it, and also if 0.3% Smooth could help taper it for me a bit. Thanks again!

Cotton Candy (10% EM/Ethyl Maltol) (TPA) I realize this is Circus Cotton Candy-TFA (TFA=TPA) Same thing.but the product I found doesn't *have 10% EM.EXCEPT HERE WHERE I'm getting recipes (majority) I noticed crystals or powder an notice "10% Pure Ethyl Maltol crystals (EM) from The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) dissolved in propylene glycol. EM helps round out flavors, reduce sharp notes and adds sweetness as you add more in your mix." Heres linK - https://www.bullcityflavors.com/ethyl-maltol-pg/. Does this mean I add 10% to the CircUS (TPA) here it is CIRCUS CANDY - https://www.bullcityflavors.com/circus-cotton-candy-tfa/
I see off the DIYMomma website she prefer FLV Sweetness at 1% is it ok or make huge difference if i get SUPER SWEET CAP - https://www.bullcityflavors.com/super-sweet-cap/ OR should I get BOTH Sweetness-FLV? Sorry for long message doubt ill get reply. I really really would appreciate it :)))). So the sweeter is it ok to replace Sweetener (Sucralose/Maltol) (TPA) *Which idk where to get" with Super Sweet - CAP? Also with the Circus Cotton Candy-TFA do I need to get the which by the way imget getting cotton candy circus link above do I need to get 10% EM/Ethyl Maltol) (TPA) this - https://www.bullcityflavors.com/ethyl-maltol-pg/ an add to it? Please guide me please ireally really would appreciate it!
#106 by Jennifer Jarvis, May 15. 2018, 04:43
@Sidhu - You could add up to 1% smooth if you wanted to really play with it fresh or sooner. Smooth mellows stuff out usually in a couple of days steep. But if you are going to add a vanilla note along with smooth, I would go with your idea of 0.3% to 0.5% smooth, with something like FA Oba Oba at like 1% or FA Vanilla Classic at 0.75%, or FLV Vanilla Bean at 2%, or CAP Vanilla Cupcake at 1.5%, TFA Vanilla Swirl 2.5%....any of those vanillas would work to add a hint of vanilla, adjust percentage as you need it.

@Cryptic Flavors - You can use TFA Circus Cotton Candy if you want, it is more Ethyl Vanillin than it is EM, and has a few other molecules in it. It will add more of a vanilla note than the plain EM will. You can also dissolve your own EM crystals if you wanted to. TFA does have a plain cotton candy that is just 10% EM. Some of the vendors do list it just as EM or TFA EM, some of them list it as cotton candy, some of them list the EM in the additives sections rather than with the flavors.

As for the sweetener, use what you are comfortable with. I am pretty sure they used Super Sweet in the commercial eliquid because it was sweeter than TFA's sweetener and gunked coils more than FW's sweetener. You can try FLV's Sweetness if you'd like, but it isn't as sweet as sucralose.

Ordered all that I was missing plus some others from other recipes. Should be there before I am back from vacation Sat. So a mixing I will go ! Really looking forward to this one. My favorite melons on top of that. Will keep updated.
Ty for sharing
#108 by onurcandan, May 27. 2018, 23:08
Its a perfect recipe, thank you Jennifer!!
#109 by Paulie V, Jun 1. 2018, 01:10
After 11 days so far steeped, WoW !! B ea u ti ful coming together very nicely. Every fruit in this recipe speaks for itself on the inhale, on the exhale as a cool vape it's a wonderful tasting blend of all the fruits combined with just the perfect roundness and lightly sugary on the lips after effect. Great Job, thanks for sharing. This is also going into my rotation. I can hardly wait to see what happens after about 10 more days. Back in the cool,dark closet to see how much better it gets.
#110 by x0r, Jun 1. 2018, 22:29
This is the best recipe I tried from this site. To be honest, most of them were horrible for my taste (even the top rated), but this one is really good. And I'm not even a big fan of melons.
It really has a "premium" feeling to it. And since I first tried it (~ 3 months ago) I always have some in my drawer. Thanks a lot for sharing. 5 Stars.
#111 by Paulie V, Jun 14. 2018, 03:40
After almost 4 weeks steep and this is now my #1 go to Recipe out of all. Perfectly balanced and full of bursts of sweet fruits. 10 🌟 in my book. Thank you for sharing this.
#112 by NeCcko, Jun 18. 2018, 12:48
I don't want to use EM and sweetener. Does anyone try the reciepe without them ?
#113 by TobyCustardo, Jun 19. 2018, 10:30
Awesome recipe - easily one of the best fruit recipes I vaped.
#114 by Duvsta, Aug 10. 2018, 18:05
Just Mixed and tested....WOW! WOW! WOW! Thanks Jennifer
#115 by Stephen, Aug 17. 2018, 22:56
Should it say 10% on the bottle?
#116 by Paulie V, Sep 7. 2018, 06:19
I just finished my first 120 ml and wish I would have made 240 ml bottle. What the heck I Love the combination and the sweetness on the Melons. Again TY @JenniferJarvis for sharing.
#117 by Bear, Sep 8. 2018, 00:26
I'm a vanilla custard lover.I love my strawberry vapes.I wanted something different,as I don't do many fruit vapes,and wanted to mix it up a bit on my juice choices.I really loved this recipe.It put a whole new light/attitude in me for fruits.It was so delicious,and I thank you for broadening my vape horizons.Certainly a 5 star job!Very well done!Wish I could have given you a 10 star rating.Thank you! :)
#118 by beeker, Sep 30. 2018, 01:24
Thanks Jen, this is only the second juice i’ve tasted that immediately earned ADV status. And it hasn’t even steeped yet, I can’t wait to see how it improves so i’m already preparing a larger batch.
#119 by NeCcko, Oct 2. 2018, 09:56
Still best ADV juice for me. I vape MTL. I don't add sweetener and make it with hald percentage of flavors.
#120 by onurcandan, Oct 2. 2018, 10:16
@beeker hello my friend. I live this recipe too. Because of that i am wondering the first juice that earned adv status for you.
#121 by Jennifer Jarvis, Oct 2. 2018, 19:02
You can mix this without EM and without sweetener, but if you are coming in off commercial juice, those two elements are important to get the type of taste you get from the commercial version...though I think the commercial version is has CAP Super Sweet in it at a lower percentage because it does gunk coils. TFA's isn't as strong of a sweetener and contains Maltol so it adds a little more richness and depth to the melons. The EM does the same thing to the melons. I do have an alternative V2 version of this recipe done with Flavorah and Flavourart flavors that is a touch lighter and more realistic over more ripe and candy like melons.

If you enjoyed this recipe please be sure and check out my you tube channel under Flavor-Pro or my name, my team and I do a weekly live show on Wednesday's at 7PM EST. We answer questions and cover various topics of mixing. We're covering a lot of beginner stuff right now if you're needed help. We also have a discord (you can find the link on YT) and a facebook group.
#122 by Paulie V, Oct 2. 2018, 21:07
Awesome !!
#123 by beeker, Oct 3. 2018, 03:32
@onurcandan, my first ADV was the My Dude (My Man remix) by Enyawrektlaw (hope that's spelled right, but probably not.) Totally delicious, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Since mixing this I also discovered the ELEMENT Pink Lemonade clone recipe, which is also amazing and a great ADV in my book.
Do you have other ADVs? If so, which ones?
#124 by Corey_smiley, Oct 5. 2018, 02:10
This recipe is great vaped it most of the summer. I dropped the sweetener all together ( kept the EM). And also added .5% koolada and .5% Extreme ice and it's been a really great juice.
#125 by Carl76, Oct 5. 2018, 18:22
Simply perfect, but I added only 1% papaya and it worked perfectly
#126 by MattiasBerg, Nov 24. 2018, 13:46
it is not my kind of flavor but for what it is, its a full hit imo..
#127 by smunc, Nov 30. 2018, 07:37
Amazing recipe. A pinch of koolada does wonders too. Thanks.
#128 by Dhafir, Dec 23. 2018, 12:15
My first rating ever on ELR .. 5/5
#129 by Red Dog, Feb 16. 2019, 09:08
Sooooo delicious!!! I make with no sweetener.
#130 by GuicbaBR, Feb 26. 2019, 03:50
How's the recipe if I do not want to use Nic? please
#131 by Jennifer Jarvis, Feb 26. 2019, 18:27
The only difference without nicotine is a less full type of feeling from the vape itself. Otherwise the flavor should work fine without it.
#132 by UglyTiger, Mar 4. 2019, 20:53
Awesome recipe! I can't remember a MM recipe that I enjoy this much. Thank you, Jennifer Jarvis.
Quick question, I feel the favors are a bit underwhelming. Could it be because of my 3 year old flavors losing potency? Thanks in advance for your inputs.
#133 by Sawyer, Mar 4. 2019, 21:06
This was the first recipe I mixed when I started DIY 2 years ago. It's still in my daily rotation. Thanks so much for creating something so amazing!
#134 by Jennifer Jarvis, Mar 4. 2019, 21:10
@UglyTiger -- Yes flavors can lose potency over time. My own TPA stash is about 3 years old as well and many of them are losing their flavor and I've had to replace many that I needed to use. And the fresh ones were drastically different and stronger than the older ones. I do give TPA about a 4ish year shelf life though towards the last year or two you're getting somewhat degraded flavors, even if they are in TPA 4oz bottles or bigger. That's what most of mine are and they've started losing their usefullness, though some of them actually taste better old to me after losing some of the off notes I taste. When stored in LDPE (the squishy plastic) they will degrade faster.
#135 by UglyTiger, Mar 5. 2019, 00:01
I just added about 25% additional flavors, and it seems to pop more. I can't wait for it to steep, so a quick 10 minute hot bath, and vape on. It's time to buy new flavors. Thanks again for an awesome recipe, Jennifer.
#136 by NeCcko, Mar 5. 2019, 14:02
Still my favorite adv reciepe. Thank you again Jarvis.
#137 by Jayhuz , Mar 7. 2019, 20:17
Just made this and tried it, didnt have tpa cantaloupe so subbed with 2% fa cantaloupe and used 2% sugar daddy and pretty tasty thank you!
#138 by Jennifer Jarvis, Mar 9. 2019, 01:27
@Jayhuz...thanks for trying it out. FA cantaloupe melons is a good sub. Actually I am thinking of remixing this for a third time with the new FLV honeydew and melon rind flavors too. So keep an eye out for a new version coming in the next month or so. :)
#139 by MikeG, Mar 9. 2019, 02:51
Thank you for sharing this, very very good flavor
#140 by Jimbeam101 , Mar 23. 2019, 10:06
This juice is insanely delicious off the shake I love this shit
#141 by CableVapn, Apr 5. 2019, 23:06
Just mixed with SS. Tried as a S&V, it is awesome! I could vape this as a daily.
#142 by Sawyer, Apr 6. 2019, 03:02
I mixed this up again last week I subbed FLV sweetness for the sucralose and it is freaking amazing. I can't get enough of this stuff!
#143 by Houseofpain, Apr 7. 2019, 14:29
Hi Jennifer, thanks for sharing an getting back to peeps, I’m keen on this mix but no (TFA) Papaya only FA Papaya and FA Ace. I’ve never seen so many peeps and comments on one recipe 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks keep up.👌
#144 by Mikey, Apr 10. 2019, 11:13
This was nice but a little harsh. I added 2% Bavarian Cream TPA and it rounded it off and gave it a nice smoothness. It's really good!
#145 by CableVapn, Apr 10. 2019, 15:54
Mixing another two 30s today. One for now and one I'll let steep for awhile.
#146 by Rewzik, Apr 16. 2019, 08:44
Can I use CAP Honeydew Melon and CAP Cantaloupe?
#147 by Jennifer Jarvis, Apr 18. 2019, 05:19
@#143 Houseofpain - FA papaya is drastically different. FA Ace is too many tropical fruits together to it. Not that you couldn't mix it with those, you can always try it and see how it is...it's just not going to taste the same as the recipe. And I wouldn't suggest using the same percentages, I'd go far lighter on FA flavors than I did on the TFA.

@#146 Rewzik, for you as well, sure you can use them. I don't know how the percentages for those two will translate, you may need to make adjustments. They are fairly different in terms of taste between the brands, so it's primary flavors are going to be completely different from this recipe, so I'd consider it a remix of the original, over a sub, as it changes substantially the overall profile by changing the main notes. That being said, I'm sure they will work fine if you enjoy CAP flavors. Personally I'm not much of a fan of CAP, but then I don't even like this recipe with the TFA. It's just not my preference for melon notes, I like FA and FLV's melon flavors better. But I like TFA Papaya and Mango. So I do use them. I just use different melon flavors that don't taste like bubblegum to me. I also think Real Flavor's Mango would be a nice sub in this recipe. It's a nice Mango.

@ Everyone else who's put up comments recently who are enjoying the recipe, Thank you for giving a it try. I'm glad it's hit that sweet spot for some people. Putting recipes out public is kind of like cooking for your family, you know it may not be everyone's favorite dish, but you hope one or two members are happy with the meal. And you hope you'll make something another night that will please the rest of the family even if the happy two tonight are unhappy those nights. I try to put a bit of stuff out there for anyone, but not everyone will like everything, and some will be loved by a few, and then there are some that are just basic staples that don't get raves, don't seem fancy, that makes someone's day. :)
#148 by Houseofpain, Apr 18. 2019, 13:23
Hi Jennifer, thanks for that, I went FA Ace @ 2.4%, haven’t tried yet,
An order just came so I got TFA Pap now so I’m all good pretty keen to mix your recipe still. Thanks for this take care.
#149 by Kamax, May 9. 2019, 05:28
Excelent! Five stars. Thank you!
#150 by youssef, Jun 9. 2019, 13:02
Thank you. It is so tasty. Even without steeping.
#151 by NewBoy, Jun 20. 2019, 17:32
Superb!!
Made 20/5/19. Waited a month and its a BANGER...
dont usually do fruits, but fancied a change. Glad i mixed this. Very impressed. Thanks for sharing.
#152 by OHMNESIA, Jul 3. 2019, 22:38
Hey, Jennifer. I've read all comments and didn't find anything relevant. Can I substitute TPA Honeydew with any other Honeydew brand? And at what percentage? Thank you.
#153 by Jennifer Jarvis, Jul 3. 2019, 23:56
Since honeydew is not the main melon note, you can sub other honeydew flavors, or like FLV Wild Melon and the percentage is just going to vary depending on the brand. Start around 1% move it up or down in amount in a different version to suit ypur tastes
#154 by OHMNESIA, Jul 4. 2019, 08:52
Above all, thank you for the quick response. You don't see that very often anymore.
#155 by youssef, Jul 5. 2019, 15:01
I try to put more honeydew at 0.8 but it didn't change so much the recipe without steeping. I did a pure melon version replacing mango and papaya with cantaloupe and honeydew it was good. Nest time i will try to put watermelon in place of mamgo and papaya to see how it will be.
I wamt to see how the recipe will be after steeping but till now i am doing just 30 ml and vapimg them in 4 days.
What do you think of replacing mango and papaya with watermelon and do you have a good watermelon brand as i never try a watermelon concentrate. But when i startt to vape i used a mix of melon and watermelon eliquid.
Thank you again for the tasty recipe
#156 by dannyb784, Jul 17. 2019, 08:26
My girlfriend has been vaping Naked 100 All Melon exclusively for a few years now. Not a melon guy myself (no pun intended lol) but I decided to make this one for her. I let her try it and the bottle was empty the next day. Gonna have to keep this one on tap now! Thanks for such a great recipe she really enjoys it! 👍
#157 by Flippy Russo, Jul 28. 2019, 18:30

WOW!!!!! Thank you for posting this.
#160 by Papiros, Oct 4. 2019, 16:00
my all day vape thanks :) I just replace TPA mango for "mango and tango" (INAWERA) at 1% and "Shisha Mango" (INAWERA) at 1.4 %
#161 by Jennifer Jarvis, Oct 4. 2019, 16:22
@Papiros that is probably a really good replacement. I like mango and tango. I think with all the recent mango flavors I've gotten, mango and tango and MB island mango (I think that is what it is called) would be great replacements in this recipe.
#162 by Robb, Oct 5. 2019, 02:05
@Jennifer,its just delicious!!!!!!!!!
#163 by Sweettooth, Oct 7. 2019, 13:52
Highest rated recipe for a reason. This is delicious and worth buying all the flavours for.. thank you
#164 by Primozin, Oct 19. 2019, 16:08
The % of flavor are really high, so, I adjusted the % and I decreased the Papaya and the sweetner. I also added koolada.

Cantaloupe (TPA) 4.50%
Cotton Candy (10% EM/Ethyl Maltol) (TPA) 0.30%
Honeydew (TPA) 0.60%
Koolada (10%) PG (TPA) 0.50%
Mango (TPA) 2.60%
Papaya (TPA) Papaya 1.30%
Sweetener (Sucralose/Maltol) (TPA) 0.30%
#165 by JuicyJ, Jan 31. 2020, 02:48
Been mixing for a few months now and decided to finally order these concentrates and see why this was one of the highest rated recipes on ELR. And let me tell you, this recipe did NOT disappoint! Ran out of juice so had to vape this in 1 day from mixing and it was delicious, also not even a hint of harshness. This has jumped to number 1 on my ADV. Thank you Jennifer Jarvis for sharing and all you do for DIY.
#166 by Kei, Apr 7. 2020, 20:14
I'm vaping now since 9 months and this is one of the best. Sweetened
as follow and it's suit my taste:
- Cotton Candy (10% EM/Ethyl Maltol) (TPA) 0.5% -> Cotton Candy (Circus) (TPA) 1%
- Sweetener (Sucralose/Maltol) (TPA) 3% -> Sweetness (Flavorah) 0.75%
Thanks 5*
#167 by SLAYTHRAX, Apr 16. 2020, 18:31
Great recipe. I recommend not adding sucralose though or perhaps using another sweetner substitute that doesn't gunk up the coils; especially for sub-ohm vaping. I have to clean my coils after only a tank or two when sub-ohm vaping with this recipe.
#168 by MintyMix, May 26. 2020, 23:31
Hi, I'm interested in trying this recipe. I'm not a fan of mango though, how strong is it in this recipe or is melon the star of the show?
#169 by Redline 8286, Jun 4. 2020, 18:11
Thank you Jennifer! My new adv. Gonna make 300mls right now
#170 by Jennifer Jarvis, Jun 7. 2020, 16:21
@MintyMix - The Mango is not the main flavor, the melons are, but you could reasonably sub mango for peach if you wanted. Whichever peach you might like best. The mango has a peach like quality to it that I think peach would sub nicely for. A white peach would be my suggestion, FA or VT or FLV Peach Rings if you wanted more of a candy feel in it.
#171 by MintyMix, Jun 7. 2020, 17:48
Many thanks @Jennifer Jarvis!
#172 by JonnyL1994, Jul 3. 2020, 15:03
I am new to the DIY community. I just made this and it's absolutely fantastic straight after shaking. Thank you.

I removed the cotton candy from mine, and swapped the sweetener for CAP SS at 2%, also I added 2% WS-23. Going to try add some bubblegum to it a bit later.
#173 by NeCcko, Jul 6. 2020, 15:46
Still my ADV since FEB 2018. Thanks again.
#174 by Mikke, Jul 11. 2020, 19:05

#176 by JamonEIRO, Jul 17. 2020, 14:26
Difference between Honeydew and Honeydew II?
#177 by Jennifer Jarvis, Jul 18. 2020, 05:43
@JamonEIRO -- Not a lot, but Honeydew 2 is actually a little less harsh than the original. Up in the comments here others have used it and the recipe turns out very similar just a little less harsh. To me they both taste like bubblegum, lol, so they seem close enough to use either one.
#178 by Moggly, Jul 25. 2020, 17:46
BEST MELON EVER!!!
Thank you so much!
#179 by Fll1225, Jul 27. 2020, 04:29
How critical is the ethyl maltol. I have a bottle but its like 4 years old. I was thinking of leaving it out. Can i?
#180 by Jennifer Jarvis, Jul 28. 2020, 10:50
Hi @Fll1225 Yes you can. Though I would suggest replacing it with a whipped cream, sweet cream, or another brand's cotton candy. Though a 4 year old bottle of TFA cotton candy won't likely be too bad, I was still using mine at 5 years old. But if it smells like nothing or funky I wouldn't use it. The EM is really just to smooth out the rough edges of the melons, since the percentages are fairly high. Another odd sub that can work in place of EM is like 0.5% of CAP sugar cookie. IT will fade in like a week or two, and it adds a softness to the overall recipe. 1% CAP meringue could also be an interesting sub.
#181 by Thatsgr8, Jul 29. 2020, 13:44
I added two drops per 10ml of Kololada. Really brings out the flavors.
#182 by Moggly, Jul 30. 2020, 18:45
Hi, would you reccomend increasing all fruit flavours by 1% more to achieve a stronger melon flavour? Thanks!
#183 by Fll1225, Jul 31. 2020, 11:35
Thank you! I went for it even with the 4 year old bottle. Like xou said, it didnt seem like it was bad or smell funny at all. Very good recipe! I did max VG anc theres plenty if flavor, really smooth, and alost tastes a little like melon bubble gum. I never had the original cuttwood juice. Thanks for sharing! Gonna try another one of your recipes!

On point lady👌
#186 by Jennifer Jarvis, Aug 4. 2020, 13:36
@Moggly, You can always adjust percentages to suit your tastes. This is crafted to be similar to the original commercial e-liquid, but for some folks even commercial liquids don't have enough flavor. It's DIY baby, you control the outcomes. So if you want to bump it up, I personally would start at 0.5% and add more after a day or two of a steep. For some folks it needs a steep, so if you are vaping it fresh the flavor may be diminished, before upping the percentages give it 3 weeks steep time. If you want to only vape it fresh, then upping the percentages until it's right for you, that is perfectly fine too. It may become muddled though after a steep, so it's just a matter of experimenting for your own taste perception.
#187 by Moggly, Aug 5. 2020, 12:06
Thank you so much for the advice!
#188 by wasabispaceghost, Aug 10. 2020, 12:32

#189 by ymfact, Aug 22. 2020, 19:43
Papaya seems too strong
#190 by Jennifer Jarvis, Aug 23. 2020, 04:33
@ymfact - You can adjust certain flavors to suit your taste. As I've said in previous comments, take the recipe as inspiration, adjust to your own preferences, sub flavors out, make it your own. I love seeing what folks do with the recipe as the starting point. My hubby hates the papaya flavor, so for him this recipe is far better without any papaya. It's not an issue to take it out, reduce it by half or cut it all the way down to 0.5% if you wanted to have just a touch of it.

After the full 6 week steep the papaya does tone down significantly. Unless you're really sensitive to papaya as a flavor note, then you'll probably still taste it. If you want a sweeter papaya note, sub the TFA Papaya with FLV Papaya Punch at like 1%.

#194 by Dzivhas, Oct 19. 2020, 15:39
@JenniferJarvis...this is an amazing recipe, thanks for sharing.
#195 by Jennifer Jarvis, Oct 19. 2020, 22:47
@Rabih, you could use FA or FLV cantaloupe for a more realistic type of cantaloupe flavor. FW will maintain more of that candy-like flavor that TPA has. FW also is a tad harsher than TPA so that is also something to keep in mind. There may be other cantaloupe options from MB or VTA or WF as well. Another option is also OOO's gummy candy melon flavor, it's pretty tasty and could be used in this as a variation on the recipe.
#196 by Hiwa , Nov 20. 2020, 13:25

I'm not really sure on the darkness of it or the cause. I don't actually vape this recipe, I don't like the melon flavors or the sweetener. It was just a clone of the original eliquid. But, that being said, nicotine and vg quality can both impact the color of the finished liquid. Some vg can turn different colors, some more pink, others more orange or brownish, and I've even had one that turned a bluish color, which was weird. The more nicotine you add the darker orangey-reddish brown the liquid will steep out to. The older the nicotine the darker it will be and so will the resulting eliquid. In a tank as it is vaping if there is gunk build up on the coil and on the interior of the tank the liquid will turn dark brown (my husband's eliquid is usually like this by the end of the week.) Sweetener and EM heavy flavors can cause more gunking than unsweetened light colored flavors. I would suggest checking out my other alternative versions of this recipe for cleaner vaping liquid. I personally use other versions because I like more realistic melon and no sweeteners, with instead a touch of vanilla or almond to sweeten or something like FA candy wizard to make it more candy like.

I just bought the whole flavor on the list. This is my first recipe i made DIY, but instead of nic i used saltnic bcs i dont like TH. Vaped immediately and it tastes okay. Papaya seems too strong tho, I was hoping for mainly Melon flavor. Maybe the original Mega Melon is like this? I've never tried it before..

@Indonesian DIY -- Let it steep for a couple of weeks and then try it again. You may find the papaya fades as it steeps. The nicsalt shouldn't have a massive impact on the flavor profile. If you found the papaya too strong when freshly mixed, lower the percentage to like 1.5% and that should drop it back when fresh mixed behind the melon. This is a clone so it does taste like the original once it is steeped for 3 weeks or longer. Some folks find 6 weeks steep is even better. But since this is DIY, once you try the recipe and you find things you aren't too crazy about, you can mix the next one differently and adapt it to your own tastes. There may even be a papaya flavor that you can get locally that would work better, heck you could replace papaya with guanabana or cherimoya flavor and it would be yummy. Some folks just don't like TFA papaya, my hubby is one of them, he hates it and he can taste it even when it's a low percentage. But he doesn't mind FLV's Papaya Punch, because it's sweeter and doesn't have that weird earthy note. Not everyone can taste the earthy note and not everyone hates it. So this is why we DIY, we adjust it to our own preferences.

I had no papaya or TPA honeydew, so i subbed with Capella Honeydew and TFA Peach for something different and also used CAP SS at 2%. Not bad straight up, hoping it steeps well.

@Mrabod yes of course, just adjust the percentages in a copy of the recipe for yourself.

First time I've commented on any recipe on here because most are just subpar in my opinion, this recipe absolutely slaps! 5 stars all day.

Hey there.I was thinking about changing it a bit and add CAP Golden Pineapple (I love pineapples) and FA Arctic Winter Menthol.I want the pineapple and mango to shine through among other flavors.What percentages would you recommend for this kind of mix ? Thanks!
#215 by JAMM, May 20. 2023, 22:26
Aquí predomina la papaya en esta receta, nada de mango en absoluto, esto en mi opinion.
#216 by Frankbooth, Feb 24, 05:11
WOW, love this, made up 30ml but will be making a larger batch.
Thank you!
