"Tropical Melon with a Coconut Exhale"

Sounds strange but it has a cult following. And for good reason. Creamy, buttery coconut with a clean melon flavor. It breaks up the monotony of your ADV of Strawberries and Dragonfruit on top of being refreshing and unique.

Good as a Shake & Vape but gets better after a short steep.

Updates and Revisions:

06/27/21: Went back to original Honeydew (TPA) at 3%. I miss that nostalgic feel of 2015.

10/29/19: Coconut (TPA) 1.5% to Coconut (FA) 1% I can't believe I didn't think of this before. Duh. Coconut Candy (TPA) lowered to 1% To better compliment FA Coconut. Introducing Honeydew II (TPA) at 2%

5/23/19: Lowered Butter Cream (CAP) from 1.5% to 1%. This should be a supporting flavor and I feel this change reflects that.

4/30/19: Omitted Almond (FA). As much as I wanted to continue to keep FA Almond in this mix, there was not much of a difference. Feel free to continue adding it to your own mixes, but at .5%, it seemed unnecessary.

3/21/18 BIG UPDATE: Revised: Almond (FA) 1.5% to .5% Coconut (FA) to Coconut Candy (TPA) VBIC 3% to 4% Added: Toasted Marshmallow (TPA) Coconut (TPA)

2/19/18: Went back to A/AP VBIC. After testing, I have concluded that Diketones are delicious and in small quantities, I have had no problems. Ordering Sweet Coconut (FLV) and will continue to test.

9/17/17: Changed Golden Butter (CAP) to Butter Cream (CAP). The Butter Cream lends a bit of sweetness and still brings that buttery note I wanted. Lowered the Honeydew (TPA) by 1%. I feel that 3% still brings that overall melon tone, but perhaps without nose raping you.

3/9/17: Changed Toasted Almond (TFA) to Almond (FA). I feel like the sweetness of Flavour Art's Almond will really shine in this recipe. Changed Butter to Golden Butter to reflect Capella's decision to change the name.

5/19/2016: I have reworked the recipe to replace VBIC with A/AP free VBIC. I don't expect a noticeable taste difference.

10/15/15: I've taken out the Cantaloupe and reworked the other percentages.

Side note: I've seen my recipe re-posted on other sites and re-posted here. I'm glad you guys like it!

9/18/15: I steeped for 3 weeks and it was quite close. I reduced the Cantaloupe and upped the Honeydew. I really feel like I'd miss the Cantaloupe if it wasn't there, so I'm trying a reduced batch before I consider omitting it all together. -vix
