Well, i have to say that this is horribly great.. It's smooth, great flavor, really "melony". But i didn't steeped it for 2 weeks, vaped it right away after mixing. Does flavor really changes much after steeping in this case?
I made this with %5 FW cantaloupe, %5 FW papaya, 5% CAP Sweet mango and %3 Ethyl Maltol 10% PG TPA. It actually came out great. The Ethyl Maltol helped smooth it out. Yes Mrkool CAP sweet mango is awsome!
Made a batch 10 hours ago. Used .25% sucralose and .25% ethyl maltol for sweeteners. As a shake and vape, it's perfumey, as to be expected because of the TFA Mango(and possibly the other 2 as well, this is my first experience with those). Perfume taste was mild, but definitely noticeable. After an hour of leaving the bottle open, dripping it, and shaking it, the perfume taste died down a bit. Right now, the perfume taste is almost entirely gone, and if it's not, I don't notice it. I have been dripping it off and on the past hour since I woke up and leave the bottle open in between drips. Used 100mg PG based nic at 2mg, max VG base. At 82.5% VG, it's super smooth, amazing vapor production, and the flavor is pretty good. I can see aging this recipe only making it even better. Will eventually report back if I can manage to make a bottle and let it sit for a week or 2. Good job though.
I'm a little confused, here.
0.5% or 5% of Ethyl Maltol 10%?
Should I consider the % in the recipe with eliquid calculator, or just add EM to whatever mls I get?
Thanks guys
melagodo i honestly imo don't reccomend using marshmallow or EM in this recipe. i would try 1.6ml cantaloupe 1.6 mango and 1.0 ml papaya for a 30ml batch and try...not bad for a shake n vape...it would be a 5.3, 5.3, 3.3 percentages i think...someone on fb suggested me trying this and its great
I have a small vial that's half and half sucralose/EM, I use that at .5%(1 drop per 5ml) and it works great. The recipe as is plus that sweetener is amazing after a 10-14 day steep. Any less than that and you get a lot of ethanol taste from the mango and papaya. This is definitely not a shake and vape recipe because of the specific ingredients' ethanol content.
Mixed up a batch of this yesterday and tossed it in the ultrasonic for about 30 minutes. Tried today and this stuff is AMAZING! I've never had Monster Melons, so I can't comment on how close this is...but I gotta say that the flavor of this juice is top notch. I didn't add any form of sweetener, and I don't think it needs it at all. Great vape and I'll be making a very large batch as soon as I get more VG. Thanks!
Never had monster melon before, but I like this flavor. Tried it after a week of steeping and enjoyed it. Can't wait to see what its like after 2 weeks like you suggested. Thanks for the recipe
rather than add in EM/Sweetener I pop'ed in a bit of dragon fruit (1%) and bit of cactus (0.5%) and it's killer. After reading comments, I'm going to try a bit of creams in some experimental batches.
@apollo & @Bane213: The papaya I think is the key flavor here, maybe back it off a bit and let it breath some. I love this combination of flavors, and a few tweaks for my own preference, and it's for sure an ADV for me. YMMV. As for papaya smelling like poo, I don't know about that, smells a lot like a fresh papaya cut open.
This is the first recipe I've rated, 5 stars. And I've made a lot of the recipes on the first and second page when sorted by rating.
This has been the only juice I've made and was instantly vapable, and I imagine when it settles after all the shaking, and then after a day or two of sitting it'll be even better.
Although did follow the advice above where they suggested 1.6, 1.6, and 1.0. The papaya smelled a little potent and I didn't want it to stand out too much.
@rsimmy yes the percentages are actually 5.3% 5.3% and use 3.3 for the papaya...I think the volume you mixed is what I had posted above. yes imo it's better than all 5% for each and no EM or marshmallow
I'm asking because I've seen FA's Cantaloupe suggested in the 1 to 2% range as well as 3 to 4%. I don't want to overdo it by adding the 5.3% if FA is that strong in their flavors.
Boy oh boy I don't know how to go about this mix after reading all these comments... Should I make it as it says with 1 drop sweetener per 5ml? Also it not quite harsh on the throat at 40PG?
This is a great fruit recipe, there are not enough fruit/candy recipes on the first 2 pages of the rankings, usually have to go to reddit just to find decent ones. This is also similar to Mr. Miyagi by alpha vapes, although I think there is plum in that one. Either way its great.
Just made a batch of this: 70% VG - 5% Sweet Mango (CAP), 4% Papaya (TPA), 5% Cantaloupe (TPA) and 2% Marshmallow (TPA), have to say this is spot on to the original, even with only a day of steeping.
I imagine it will get even better in a week. I think the marshmallow as a sweetener is perfect.
so i've been 1 year in DIY. Only read how people make Ejuice in this website. Today i finally make an account just wanted to say this:
THIS ONE IS 99.9% MEGA MELON CLONE!!!!
even for shake and vape its a mega melon juice!! but still not 100%, will be 100% same if u steep it. and dont forget to use sucralose.. everytime u see Cantaloupe flavor use sucralose. use 6 drops if u making 30ml and VOILA!!
This is a great recipe, especially if you add around 2% sweetener. (I have a bit of a sweet tooth with e-juice from vaping One Hit Wonder's stuff for so long before venturing into DIY). Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a nice, simple fruit vape. Best fruit blend I've tried to date.
Hi, sounds great. I'm a novice and looking to make this as a first attempt. Could anyone please tell me a uk site where I can get all the flavours and starter kit as websites I've looked at don't have all 3 concentrates. Many thanks in advance.
Mixed this up with no EM. Not a fan of sweeteners, they're just too inconsistent in my experience. As far as the original recipe? It's absolutely wonderful. Simple. Not that medicine/candy taste. Pure melony joy.
It is a good one, I knocked up another 200ml of this last night. I've found it really comes together at 2 weeks, definitely worth being patient for this one!
are there any good adaptions that sub out the papaya? Maybe with watermelon or something? I took a long look but didn't find anything.
anybody have suggestions or know of recipes?
I did all 3 at 4% and 1 drop of sweetener per 5ml and 24 hours later I love it. It will get better with steeping but I don't think 2 weeks is required - more like a 24 hour steep
After 7 days this is really really good, but still a little perfumey. Going to make a bigger batch today even though I haven't tasted the finished product. My percentages were 5.3 Cantaloupe, 5.3 Mange, 3.3 Papaya. No sweetener.
After a week of steeping and without ethol maltol i was getting a very strong taste of papya and a wierd after taste. After another week and adding 4 drops of EM i got a very pleasent smooth fruity taste from this mix . I WOULD RECOMMEND A 2 WEEK STEEP AND ADDING ETHOL MALTOL.
@santa, same here. I also tuned down the papaya to 3% because it was so overpowering. Not just I taste, but it was smelling up the whole room. @scottyh512, please make sure you do research and learn all the safety precautions before starting DIY. There's more to it than just mixing a few liquids together.
I am having trouble finding 100th nicotine. I would like to make this 12 MG nicotine. Can I just get the 12 MG 50/50 nicotine and add the PG and VG dilutant to that?
Only made it yesterday and bang, I have had the original but I can say wo'h it's good shizola me and my lad thank you can't believe that it cost me about £2 to make each thirty ml including the bottle 😎😁😍👊🏼
I mixed this at 5/5/4-papaya and added sweetener. I let it steep for 2 weeks. It has a pleasant ripe sweet melon flavor to it. The flavor of this recipe is ruined by a strange and potent bitter chemical aftertaste on the exhale that can be described as green rind and toxic waste. Either the papaya is causing this and needs to be lowered, or somehow this juice mixed with and melted the inside of my PET bottle, and now I am vaping plastic.
Mixed this up a few weeks ago, tastes great, but it very cloudy still and not clear like the rest of the batches I made the same-day. It's had 12 hours without the top on and about 3 weeks in a dark cupboard. Anyone else have this clouding issue and should I be concerned?
Love love love this recipe. Gunks coils with the sweetener. This is best as a shake-n-vape. I think it actually loses some of its complexity as it steeps.
Made it yestarday! It needs long time to steep. I can't imaging how to vape it after mix (shake-n-vape), to chemical taste for me :D I use RDA Tsunami for test. Smells nice, but mango is muted. I add 2 drop's sweetener, made 10 ml. Nicotin 3 mg. Good job @gsxrmike04, thx for sharing! I will be back after 1-2 weeks
coffee4meplease and Marcellus I tried your suggestion and added 1% cap sweet cream tonight...I guess we will see how that works in a few weeks...interesting add and I pondered it for awhile before saying heck with it..5.3, 5.3 and papaya at 3.3% as usual for my percentages with the 1% sweet cream
mixed it last night and i vaped it today the whole day!!!
it's a 7/10 juice for me!
i like it a lot... and i have to say that I'm not a fruity vapes fan!
also i gave it in a friend to try who owns the original MM and
he sayd that it is not close to the original. "to strong melon taste" he sayd.
anyway i liked it and im gonna mix it again if i run out of it!
I've made this recipe several times and it needs 2 weeks minimum to steep imo, btw try 1% sweet cream and lowering the papaya 2% less than cantaloupe and mango
Just mixed this up and I love it already. I'm bummed I only made 15ml. Going to mix 100ml so I'll be able to see what it tastes like steeped. Thanks so much for this!
Today I finally got my concentrates in and I mixed up 30ml as soon as I got home. It really is fantastic! I read through all the comments and decided to reduce the cantaloupe from the start (as recommended by user Mmh1972 in comment #18 .
So to make 30ml I used 1.5ml Mango TFA, 1.5ml Papaya TFA and 1ml Cantaloupe TFA (and 26ml 80VG/20PG 3mg base). Not had the need to add Ethyl Maltol as the higher VG is sweet enough.
I shook it and then vaped it at 30-35watts with 0.5ohm and it's the bomb! This is a rare and simple recipe that is instantly satisfying!
Another thing - no scratchy throat hit!
I made 100ml using 5/5/4% (4% papaya) just under 2 weeks ago and it does mellow (could also be in part due to the warm weather). In my opinion for a shake and vape of lower the papaya to 4% but when making a larger batch I'll stick to the recipe by the op. No need for sweetener with high VG base for my taste.
I found that even as an all day vape, my coils and wick keep very clean after 4-5 days, adding sweetener or cream may make their life a little shorter, but it's all down to preference ;)
I tried it with Cap Sweet mango and at 5.3 the mango muted all the other flavor leaving a strong chemical taste. I'll try again lowering the Cap Sweet mango to 3.3. Any suggestion?
I love this, I Had it for one hour in ultrasonic cleaner and left it for a week and I'm really happy with the results, I think I'll be making a bigger bottle of this one.
A friend of mine made a batch of this and added Koolada. I'm not a huge melon fan and have never had the original, but wow this is tasty. Made my first batch yesterday. 2mg nic, 80/20 vg/pg. 5% mango 5% cantaloupe 3.5% papaya. 30 minute hot water bath, some vigorous shaking and a four hour breath. Vapable, but a tad harsh. Went to bed, and filled up my rda this morning for some quick errands. WOW. One night steep and this recipe is awesome, no sweetener needed. I can imagine it'll only get better with time. Nice job OP, and nice work to all that recommended cutting the papaya down.
This tasted a bit perfumery to me lol, it's TPA fruits I think, I may leave the juice top of for 12 hours and try again, I had some TPA Cantaloup in another recipe I normally make with TPA Cantaloup and that tasted perfumery, once I left lid off overnight it actually tasted better, but all this trouble lol
Well I used 5% Capella cantaloupe, 4% TPA Papya, 5% TPA mango, 1% TPA marshmallow, left the lid off overnight & steeped 1 week, left lid off another 24 hours then vaped, much much nicer than original recipe IMO, I also have another batch the same with 2% FA cream fresh in, & also another batch with 5% cap cantaloupe, 5% cap Papya 5% cap mango, I recon it will rule as Capella fruits are just unbeatable, TPA have some nice ones though like honeydew, blueberry extra, blueberry Wilde, strawberry, strawberry ripe, and some more, but some just taste so perfumery lol, they need to sort that shit out lol, when you leave the lid off overnight it takes it away though and they taste fruitier than Capella, but capellas are more consistent
Great mix. I've never had Monster Melons before to compare but as a shake and vape, this taste exactly like a juice i had gotten at a vape expo but cant think of the company or name but loved it. Made a 70/30 bottled and tried one at max vg but so far think the 70/30 is going to be the winner. Can't wait to see what time will do to it. Thanks for sharing!
How can you guys vape that cantaloupe? I tested An eppie and that cantaloupe tastes tonme like paper or bad tobacco or something .. U think they gave me something wrong? I see everybody mailing the cantaloupe nut it tastes awfull to me. I really need some nice melons. Please help :) ?
How long have you steeped this ? To be honest with you this requires a longer time to blossom ... i almost forgot i have this recipe due to it is not to my taste but after 2 months or more it blossomed and become my adv ...
its steeping for 13 days now. mixed 10% cantaloupe with pure vg(10/90) in griffin with dual coil SS 26 ga 5 wraps and japanese cotton. also tried in mutation v4s with dual kanthal 0.2 ohm.
i always test my flavors single first and dont use it in recipes if its not ok.
maybe cantaloupe is only vapable as a subtaste with others? arent there better melons out there? tx in advance
I can't get enough of this. Wish I made a larger batch. Not really a shake and vape for me but only required a couple of days to homogenise. The throat hit is a bit harsh for me so next batch probably make it at max VG.
I prefer fruity menthol mix, do you reckon 2% menthol (tpa) will suit or will it mute the sweetness and flavour?
I wouldn't add menthol to this recipe unless you really like mint. I've tried it with a few drops of Koolada added and it adds a nice, chilled, crispy pop to it that's quite enjoyable...until I realized that I'm allergic to Koolada and had a sore throat for almost a week.
This isnt just for me. Followed the exact recipe.
The papaya is very overpowering from day 3 to day 20 of testing.
Smooth and cold vape, thats my impression of vaping this juice.
Fruity aroma is good, but the papaya taste just ruin this for me.
I have also tried lowering the papaya to 3%, and still too much.
Maybe i have to lower the papaya even more and add sucralose to it now. Gonna tweak this again, havent given up just yet.
but mixed this up with 3% papaya instead of the 5%, added a drop per 10 mil. menthol. I have always vaped creams and custards, didn't think this would be good, it's not good, it's great. mixing 100 mls today, this is always great to have on hand. thanks mike
I accidently mixed 100 mls with honeydew instead of cantaloupe but it tastes great to me. I also have the original recipe steeping but I only put in 3% papaya. I love this mix.
Is this a joke? I don't know, maybe I did something wrong but this is absolutely garbage, makes me want to puke. It's like I'm vaping a fucking windshield cleaner or a toilet duck or some shit. Terrible.
I made a 60ml bottle of this per the recipe and loved it, made several more bottles for friends and co-workers to try.
My experience and their experience is the same.....tastes amazing at first but after an hour or so you cant really taste anything and have a bad taste left in your mouth.
I bought large 4oz bottles of these flavors so hope I can figure something out. I didnt let them steep so maybe thats part of it.
I stay away from artificial sweeteners but have creams and stevia.
Should I try it with papaya backed off to 3% and add stevia or marshmallow and let it steep?
@DDrama my version is 5.5% on cantaloupe and mango, 3.5 papaya ,1%marshmallow and 0.5% sweetner.
So i would back off one the papaya if i where you and add 1 to 1.5 marshmallow. It does need the 2 week steep before the true flavor comes out and stays that way, to chemical for me before that period
I must have done something wrong I tried it after a week and my batch tastes horendous I think it tastes like what i imagine fungus to taste like. its almost sour .. clearly with all the great reviews I must have done something to ass this up.
TPA Cantaloupe1.5g 5.0%
TPA Mango 1.5g 5.0 %
TPA Papaya 1.5g 5.0 %
VG 32.16g
30.0 ml
Did I miss something here? I did not add any sweetener though
I can now say that this is 99% similar to the original cutwood's mega melon.
Tried the original yesterday.
Even though i dont like the flavor profile, but good job at cloning the original.
A lot of people are saying the papaya is too strong. I don't have that one anyways so I'm looking to sub something else in. Any suggestions? It doesn't need to stay true to the original.
try 6 cantaloupe, 6 peach, 6 mango
instead of peach, nectarine, apricot also works.
if not in stash, just try something new like kiwi, coconut etc.. never bad :)
I quite enjoy this. Papaya does seem a smidge prominent, but I haven't given it proper steep time yet. If it settles down a smidge this is gonna be spectacular. If not I still feel this is a great mix. This and the madrina clone are perfect for giving me fruit vapes to slap into my rotation after I get burnt out on custards and desserts. Can't thank you enough.
been making batches of 500ml of this for so many months now. i feel that the papaya over power everything else may have to use less papaya next time. but i do like papaya so i didnt really mind lol, just think it would be better if i can taste the other flavours aswell.
V, I made the same mistake and wanted to puke papaya. In my opinion, the OP should just tweak the formula. My last mix I went 5% cantaloupe, 7 mango, 3 papaya, and 3 EM/cotton candy . I don't know if it tastes like the original monster melon but I like it a lot. Only takes 5-7 days steep. I let it sit for a good 20 min before bottling and I think that helped the perfumy taste seep out too. Good luck!
Haha my name is Mike and I ride a 13 gsxr 750 too!!! What color is yours? Mines all black.
Anyhow my buddy made this and we both tried it after steeping a week or more and both of us were puzzled with the taste. I guess we're tasting the papaya prominently like people say. Hope that ends up going away...
love this juice, ive been making large amounts for several months now, i have stuck to the original recipe but im going to try tweaking the ratios as suggested to see if it can be improved.
Khowy77... My guess would be that your using FA for the melons. I would say to stick with TPA... If that is not possible then lower the percentages of FA flavours down to 1% each and from there work your way up until it tastes good.
At 5/5/5 it was way too strong - it made me queasy and light headed
I knocked them all back to 2/2/2 % and added 1 drop of EM per 5ml and it's very tasty. Never tried the original but this is a decent shake and vape when the weather is nice and you're hanging out in the yard or at the beach
I agree @Simon133. The papaya is nice at 5% i lower the cantaloupe to 2% as i find it gives a slight purfume taste. Papaya alone with any cream is really nice too.
same bought all ingredients, but so many people have made a few minor changes to the mix, whats the recommended outcome now. also you can use TFA Cotton Candy as sucralose sweetner
Steeping: Just time based steeping, a shake every now and then. No hot bath, no breathing. Haven't tried it as a SNV
Smell: Exotic, melony fruity - delicious
Taste: Such a well blended exotic vape with the melony notes clearly in front. Nice, sweet (without extra sweetener) and fruity.
Overall:My favourite juice so far. Made it exactly as stated in the recipe.
Ideas: Put some cactus and/or dragonfruit in small percentages to it in a next batch. And koolada - this is a must I have to try.
Thank you very much for sharing this recipe. This one is a true 5/5 stars and made it to the top of my ADV rotation. Will definitely mix up something like 200mls. I love it.
@Schpaddell I have been vaping this recipe for a while and made 20ml of koolada version. I probably overdosed it but with TPA dragonfruit it is better. 5/5/5 is slightly bitter taste. 5/5/3 + 2 DF is tasty.
2 months stepping time but still unsmokeble. maybe can put some menthol or some type of creams. but i really hate this receipe. waste of 200 ml liquid.
To reduce your waste, dilute the original 200ml down with VG then get creative and add different flavours to small 5 ml samples until you find something your happy with.. Or at least can vape.
I would dilute at 100% personally then top off the flavour total and nicotine... As suggested above dragon fruit may go well. I have tried this mix with apple which is surprisingly good.. And any tropical type flavour should work well.
It seems hard to get the sweet spot on this. Early it is too much perfume and after a few weeks it goes limp. I tried a new mix with sucralose and will give it a week.
Never had the original but still one of my favorite fruity recipes. In fact this is the only melon recipe I can stand. Only downside is the smell of papaya lol but hey who cares.. tastes amazing
Been vaping this for some time. Decided to compare with the original Mega melons and I can tell you that this recipe is much better!! The overall flavor entirely improves after 1-2 months of regular steeping. So I recommend making more of this and just forget about 1-2 bottles for a month :)
FOR THE EMEGA FLORAL TASTERS: I CRANKED UP THE WATTS FROM MY USUAL 45 TO 75 WATTS AND MOST OF IT WENT AWAY.
MUCH BETTER IMO AND THIS WAS AT SHAKE N VAPE.
Hopefully this works for you 😎💨💨💨
Excellent vape. It's great even on day one, but it'll be sweet as hell for almost a week. It settles down nicely and the fruits seem to come together better during the second week. I've already made 240ml and gone through a quite a bit of it. Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing!
I never tried the original but this recipe is awsome i've done without the sweetener and for me is great, very fruity,
inhale: little mellow
exhale: papaya
and mango stay after
I wish I had read the comments before.
Followed the original recipe and even after 15 days the papaya is too strong, can't vape it.
Will try what people suggested, lower papaya to 3%, keep 5% cantaloupe&mango and add 1% marshmallow.
Didnt add sweetner. Mixed at 60/40 vg/pg @6mg for MTL. Tastes great to me. Will definately make a larger batch. Might try the ide of cream fresh to smooth it just a touch.
I made this recipe (very new to diy I must say) and one adaptation of it called "...with a twist". I let them steep for about two weeks, let them breath for about 12 hours but there is an intense perfumy almost shampoo like taste in both. Both sweet enough and nice vapor but there is this weird aftertaste thats just horrible.
Today I bought the All Melon from Naked 100 and that too has the exact shampoo like after taste. I have tried both on RDA (goon lp) and rta (Smok prince). :(
Am I missing something here? I love melon, honeydew juices but these are just plain unvapable.
This stuff is way better than a lot of recipes I've tried on this site. These three flavors combine to make a really nice tasting mix. Good work on this one.
на ежедневную основу. лучшая жижа, как по мне.
возможны вариации: вместо Cantaloupe - honeydew(или в миксе 50/50), вместо Mango - philippine mango (или тоже в миксе 50/50).
I too too the advice of lowering the papaya. I used cantaloupe at 5%, mango at 5% and I lowered the papaya down to 3%. Good enough. I used TPA sweetener at 1% and wasn't enough. So I took that up to 2% and now I feel that all that is needed is some steeping cause the papaya is still coming on strong even at 3%. All things considered this is a very good recipe. Definitely not a fantastic vape as a shake and vape but even as such, is still a pretty good one.
Forgot to mentioning that I made this full VG. I mostly use rdas and I tend to overdrip... I can imagine that at 50/50 the flavors would be more distinct...
love this recipe! have tweaked it abit for my taste buds, 7%mango 7%cantaloupe and 4% papaya and started experimenting with some super sweet currently at 0.5% this is one of my ADV
okey a variant of this recipe has been in my weekly rotation like always but now its seems i cant get ahold of TPA Cantaloupe, so im wondering if anone tried with Cap or FWs cantaloupe and what % i should start with , would hate to loose this recipe
Not a fan of TPA mango so I used Philippine Mango (tpa) and Sexy Mango (REK). Simply can't get enough, after a fortnight in a drawer, this is heavenly. The cantaloupe and papaya are an amazing combo, now I'm thinking of maybe adding tangerine or lychee... thanks for sharing!
@Evex112 Hiya, I did:
Cantaloupe tpa 5%
Papaya tpa 3%
Philippine Mango tpa 2%
Sexy Mango rek 2%
This is perfect for me, I might lower the overall flavour percentage but the ratio feels right. And yeah, next time might chuck in a tiny bit of tangerine or lychee, maybe even some grape...
