PUR Watermelon
Mixed at 6% in 70/30 VG/PG 0mg nic
Tested on a Goon RDA, 0.24 Ohms, 50W
Steep time: 4 weeks
Notes:
If you are after a watermelon flavour, look no further!!! This is juicy slice of watermelon, slightly candied, without being “fake”. It has a more realistic texture than FA and has already taken LA straight on to dethrone it as the best watermelon around. This baby contains all the best bits of the watermelon with a bit of sugary goodness to make it shine - and then some. This can comfortable increased to 10% as a single flavour and work wonders in mixes at around 4%.
This was made for Tiger’s Blood and can absolute not be subbed. Period. Add a bit of WS23 and this is to die for!
Recommend to a friend: Yebo
Rating: 5/5
Agree - I purchased a bottle and made up some of this https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/54099 with it last night, subb'ing the WS23 for Polar Blast. Tested immediately as a SNV and its really yummy.... gonna let it sit a couple days and try it again.Just had to have this after reading this mixed at 8% for single flavour 30ml did not make the week love this stuff. Awsome sweet watermelon not too subtle and just really good.

No - I cut it down to 1%
I have not tried Polar Blast before and don't have WS-23 so wasn't sure of the comparative strengths of them so just decided to rather add less in case the Polar Blast was too strong.... that way I can always add a little more later if needed.
@RenaldoRheeder I tried this for the first time last night and its very yummy. The levels of Polar Blast seem right for my palate but I see no reason why it can't be adjusted even further to suit your individual tastes, however I have not yet had enough experience with Koolada/Polar Blast to have any meaningful opinion on the matter, so take it with a pinch of salt.Cool - keep us posted

PUR Toasted Coconut Cheesecake
Tested in the Hadaly, 0.6Ω Ni80 simple contact coil at 25W, Cotton Bacon v2 wick
Tested at 4, 6 and 8%
Sniff test: golden baked cookie with coconut topping
Flavour notes: this one was interesting for me because there aren't many toasted coconuts. However, this flavour is again a misnomer for me. There is a disconnection between how the flavour smells and how it vapes. The aroma seems perfectly balanced between bakery and coconut. In the vape itself, the bakery is swamped by a toasted note that is very much front and centre. I don't get cheesecake tang or even Graham crust from this. Instead, the inhale is unsweetened coconut over a dense but unflavoured cream pie filling. The toasted note builds towards the end of the inhale, extending prominently into the first half of the exhale before finishing on that creamy coconut again. There is no lingering sweetness or sugar lips. The toasted note tends towards bitterness at higher percentages, not inappropriate for the profile but too prominent for my tastes. The coconut itself is not entirely convincing but it's not suntan lotion either so that is a plus.
Off-notes: there is nothing off as such, just that the balance seems out of whack. I was expecting a dense and rich cheesecake with a mild toasted accent, not a toasted primary note with subtle creaminess in the background.
Uses: this is going to be a tricky one for me. PUR may have done better by dropping the 'cheesecake' part and not positioning this as a one-shot. It's not a standalone flavour and, as the primary coconut, would require way too much tweaking to bully that toasted note to where I'd want it. But toasted coconuts are thin on the ground. With increasing percentages, the toasted note dials up more than the other elements. So I'd keep this low as very much the junior partner in a coconut combo, adding just 1-3% to infuse a toasted accent. At that level, not much of the cream and none of the bakery will register so those elements would need to be filled out with other concentrates.
Recommend: if you absolutely must have a toasted coconut, you're not exactly spoiled for choice so this may have to suffice. But it's not a plug and play flavour. Unless you're willing to experiment and tweak a lot to find its sweet spot, there are safer coconuts on the market.
