(JF) Honeydew Melon

Reddit link: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/ewhsbu/peyote/?ref=share&ref_source=link

Juicy. Tart. Floral. Mystical.

These were the words floating in my mind soup as I crafted this delectable masterpiece.

FA Aurora - This one here imparts a sharp, sweet, fresh-squeezed lime note near the top. It's very versatile and should be in everyone's stash.

INW Dragonfruit - Pitaya - The real dragonfruit flavor. This and JF Honeydew Melon form the unspecific desert-fruit base.

INW Cactus - Here is your juicy, sour, tart enhancer.

CAP Hibiscus - Here to provide humidity, sweetness, and the distinct floral tone you'd expect from a peyote.

JF Honeydew Melon - The king of honeydews and just incredibly complex and amazing on its own.

FA Lavender - To activate your throat chakra and speak your inner truth.

This has almost entirely replaced Grack Juice as my primary addiction. I hope you enjoy and I'd love to hear your reviews.

This is a Honeydew infused green tea milk, with boba (tapioca pearls).

Started with Fuji apple and ended up with this concoction. Actually it did not have the wild melon in it last night. But as I was enjoying vaping it I found that the melon was just not showing up how I wanted it or envisioned it when I put JF honeydew in. Someone I know vapes tried it and said yummy grape! So somehow 2 apples, 1 pear, 2 honeydews, 1 cantaloupe, and 1 blueberry somehow makes grape. NOTES...I love VT bilberry ripe and this was what I wanted to build a recipe with that day. I really couldnt come up with a better partner to showcase this flavors than a couple of really nice melons. They work well together and they did me well again here. I also noticed how well melons work as a background flavor. Probably the best mixing tip I have learned thus far is that 97% of flavors out there by itself is not goos. Making a good recipe involves building something from the ground up and complimenting one flavors weaknesses with another's strength. Getting to know your flavors is a huge aspect of becoming a good mixer and you get that by mixing more. Anyways I was getting closer but for whatever reason I wanted these fruits to taste like they had just been sprayed by those sprinklers in the grocery store and you picked 5 of them up (and somehow blueberry jam was a thing mixed in those fruit) and shoved them in your mouth. I used pear to attain this effect. Just needed balancing from there. Sub whatever you have to except FA pear, Flv wild melon, Jf honeydew, and VT bilberry ripe are all integral and the recipe would not convey what I wanted without them. EDIT: This isnmy favorite thing I have come up with in the month that I began mixing and I also made it better, at least I think. I added 1% fw blueberry and it just sets this recipe from really good to banger status. Really would like to hear what you guys think. <3

Big shoutout and thanks to @AlfredPudding (aka Malfred Puddage) for the majority of the inspiration for this mix and @Eyemakepizza for helping hammer out the percentages.

This is a slightly sour/tart and sweetly delicious jolly rancher/gummy type watermelon vape.

CAP 27 Bears at a higher percentage to really hammer the fact that this is a Candy first and foremost
The WF Sour Watermelon Candy is one of my new favorite watermelon flavors and brings most of that melony jolly rancher taste here.
The JF Honeydew and FLV Wild Melon are tossed in to back up some of the melon notes and help you not forget that this is a straight up, punch you in the face watermelon flavor.
WF Sour Gummy Candy to give it a bit more of that tart/sour candy vibe.
The perfect watermelon vape has been my white whale for quite some time, but this is pretty close to what I’ve been searching for all this time.
I also added 0.25% CAP Super Sweet to give a bit of that “sugar lip” but it’s totally optional as this is plenty sweet on its own.

This is my first posted recipe on ATF and is still a work in progress, but let me know what you think so far. Thanks!

Ok here we go. This one is a nice refreshing summer drink vape.

Lemonade Base - VT Lemonade Clear is an interesting lemonade with a bit of Fiz, FLV lemonade help to enhance the longevity of the lemonade. SC Lemon gives you some of that authentic lemon while VT Sour Lemon gives you that nice lemon zest. This is a really solid base for the lemonade.

FA Pear is used really for sweetness to go along with the FLV Wild Melon/JF Honeydew combo to give us a honeydew forward melon mix.

Finally the FLV Boysenberry helps to syrup up the fruits and add a touch of berry to the mix. Enjoy!

Bang-on for those little melon gum balls from the sushi joint. The only difference is that this won't lose it's flavor after 60 seconds.

Inspired by/adapted from Shyndo's Mango Sticky Rice: https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/56405

I wanted to try and modify the recipe to use honeydew instead. I also messed around slightly with the grainy notes to hopefully counteract FE sticky rice's shortcomings after a steep.

Tasting notes:

Shake and vape - this one seems like it isn't the best for shake and vape. I was actually kind of disappointed when I first tried it after mixing. It was very evident that the flavors weren't meshing together nicely.

3 day steep - whew, it's crazy what a few days steep can do for a juice. It is tasting a hell of a lot better now. Basically how you would imagine shyndos mango sticky rice would taste but with honeydew. Might wanna change the coconut notes around and maybe add in some tfa coconut candy. Honeydew notes might be a bit on the stronger side, i personally enjoy it like this, but maybe JF honeydew melon could be lowered slightly. Will probably come out with a v2 of this recipe idea.

Took the melon tea idea from Wayne, and adding FLV black tea from another user...I can't remember though. I think it was called paradise - I loved the idea and I had 100ml of JF Honeydew that I couldn't manage to use. Turned out I was using it way too low. Here's what happened.

In my home city we have a very eclectic group of people. It's legitimately a melting pot of all cultures. I was fortunate enough to be exposed to all sorts of different foods growing up, and one of my favorite things to do was to go to different ethnic grocery stores with my mother. There was one store in particular that always had me very excited, and it wasn't really a store. It was basically a giant warehouse, with tons of different little shops smashed into it. This place was called Mitsuwa. A Japaense Marketplace.
Particulary, my favorite place in the market was the candy aisle. I could not read japanese but the packaging was brilliant. It was a surprise every time I chose something new. My absolute, hands down, favorite candy of all time from Mitsuwa, was a Honeydew Shake Candy called Milkita. It was almost like a Honeydew Taffy, emphasis on the milk. Here is my rendition of it, which I am happy to say has exceeded my expectations in wanting to re-create that nostalgic taste.

JF Honeydew Melon - Pretty much the standard when it comes to delicious Honeydew Melon flavors. They knocked it out of the park with this one. It's a sweet and fresh melon flavor thats pretty potent too. It does mellow out over time, so thats why I accented it with the even more potent TFA Honeydew. In conjunction with eachother these two really drive home that sweet, green, melon flavor that so reminds me of those little chewy Milkita candies. I also get a creaminess out of these two, as I do with most melon flavors, which plays nicely with our other ingredients and overall goal for the recipe.
FLV Cantaloupe - This stuff tastes fairly authentic to me. Its a natural, ripe, sweet cantaloupe that plays right into the melon profile and helps accentuate the body of that fruity creaminess.
FA Coconut - This was what I was missing from my earliest versions. Just a touch here helps bring some more milkiness, pumps up the sweetness level, and acts as a bridge between the fruits and creams. I was super excited when I started using this and it worked so well.
FLV Cream - Bring on the creaminess. This has a dairy taste, but not as agressive as FA Fresh Cream or ooo Cream - Milky Undertones. I was originally using TFA Marshmallow to bring some body and sweetness, but it seemed overbearing. FLV Cream brought some great body, mouthfeel, a reasonable amount of dairy, and also helped the richness of the recipe. Its thick. More like a heavy whipping cream than a milk that plays well with the fruits.
ooo Cream - Milky Undertones - This is flavoring has been a godsend. It's milk with a touch of sweetness. No-nonsense here. Its fluffy, which helps emulate the candy aspect of the source material and worked exactly as intended.
FA Meringue - Sugary sprinkled sweetness. Helps in the cream department making things milkier, helps in the sweetness department delivering that accurate candy profile.
Thats about it.

\\Steep Time: 3 Days

About 95% my mixing life all I have worked on is bakery/dessert style recipes, usually with some sort of fruit note (Ruby's Oatz, Key Lime n Piel, etc). Making something that revolved around just a fruit profile is something I have always wanted to put some serious effort into, so why not start now? This is the "fruit" of that labor. It's still a bit in the dessert department, but this is a Melon slush that I think you will really enjoy for the rest of summer.

Fruit Mix: When I SFT'd PUR Watermelon it was pretty dang tasty, but was more of a candied watermelon. I played with LA's as well; but I arrived at a combination of PUR Watermelon, CAP Cantaloupe, and JF Honeydew Melon for the melon mix. Honeydew helps give a sort of natural melon base, with CAP Cantaloupe bridging the gap between them.

Some Slushiness: I played with VT Fizzy Sherbet in a few different recipes. For those that want a good baseline of VT Fizzy Sherbet in a recipe, check out The Spider by StarsandClouds or 7 NUP by pgl55. It really helps imply that effervescence of a soda-type drink. To add a bit more juiciness to it, I added a bit of FA pear to try and make a basic slush base. I'm sure there are better out there, but I like this one personally since Pear will accent the other fruits well anyway. WS-23 helps bring it all home with that nice and cool throat hit.

You can probably get away with a 1-day steep on this, but I like to give it 3 just to let everything settle. I hope you dig it!
