Has anybody tried Dragonair by Tasty Cloud? Described as starting with a combination of juicy cantaloupe and dragon fruit notes on the initial inhale. A menthol flavor leaves a chilly feeling on the exhale along with a sweet taste of watermelon.
Please let me know or something similar… I’m a newbie and struggling to get the combination right!
An incredibly lively and powerful flavor. It starts with a combination of juicy cantaloupe and dragon fruit notes on the initial inhale. A menthol flavor leaves a chilly feeling on the exhale along with sweet taste of watermelon. The menthol and fruit flavors are paired to give a great sensation.
It does sound fairly clonable ;D Does it taste candy-like or like real cantaloupe/dragonfruit/watermelon?
TPA Dragonfruit is said to be really good, so stick with that. For the cantaloupe, I’d try either Cap’s or Delosi’s. I have both. Delosi’s is stronger and tastes a little off to me. Cap’s is pretty good. For the watermelon, Delosi is said to have the best. I have it, but haven’t worked with it much yet. As long as you don’t have a problem with koolada, you could try reducing your menthol and adding a little bit of that. It gives you the chill without the mint. Personally, I can’t use it because I’m allergic, so make a little tester first and make sure it’ll work for you before you add it to a bunch of juice.
This list of flavors was put together by a few of us and are what we felt were some of the best flavors. It might help point you in the right direction.
I wouldn’t think most juices that make it to the retail market are still using TFA much. I would look into more premium flavorings like JoJo said. But I agree that TFA Dragon Fruit is very good. I just ordered Flavorah’s Dragon Fruit as well and can’t wait to try it in a recipe.
For Cantaloupe I love Flavourart. Their Melon Cantaloupe is spectacular. Very realistic. Their Watermelon is also very good. I went through a 30ml bottle of FA Watermelon in a few weeks time.
And with some people having an allergic reaction to Koolada I don’t know if they would use that or not. If I were making a retail juice I think I would want to stay away from anything with possible harmful side effects to some people.
I am not a menthol user so I can’t help much with that flavor. But I am willing to bet that whatever they use you can come up with a closer clone if you use more premium flavorings.
I’m not a real Dragonfruit fan, so I’ll defer to the others on that flavor.
Agree with LordVapor on the Cantaloupe. Just have not tasted anything more real and spot-on as that Flavorah Cantaloupe.
As for Watermelon… if you want a really REAL tasting watermelon, it’s got to be Medicine flower/Lotus .
My humble opinion.
