If you want a sweet Jolly rancher style watermelon look for LAās clear watermelon http://www.bullcityvapor.com/watermelon-la/
a mildly sweet more realistic watermelon is red summer FA http://www.bullcityvapor.com/watermelon-fa/
Probably the most realistic yet still a lil tricky to get the %s just right d/t it is an Extract not binded in pg nor vg so it is super concentrated is Medicine Flower ( MF ) watermelon -AKA Lotus at ECX http://www.ecigexpress.com/diy-e-liquid/diy-e-liquid-flavors/lotus-flavors/watermelon-flavor-by-lotus-flower.html
Then my favorite is Delosi which is sweet yet real to a degree taste is fantasticā¦

Iāve tried most of the watermelons on the market.
Hereās what Iāve found:
FA Watermelon at 5%: Unlike the rest of FA, you gotta use a high %. Itās a natural tasting watermelon, with a good amount of sweetness. Itās nice, I wouldnāt say itās bland, but itās not a main flavor.
MF Watermelon at 0.5%: Doesnāt live up to the hype. Incredibly aromatic, natural tasting, but somewhat bland. Vapes like FA Watermelon, but less sweet. Not sure why it has a large following.
TFA Watermelon 6%: Tastes very synthetic, and is more on the watermelon artificial gum flavor. Canāt say Iām a fan.
CAP Double Watermelon 5%: A little bit more sweet and sour balanced than the rest. Kinda of like a middle ground between natural and artificial. Not bad overall. Packs a punch better than the rest of the watermelons.
CAP Sweet Watermelon __%: I have not tried this watermelon, but I called Customer Service at CAP, and they explained to me that Sweet Watermelon was more of a Candy Watermelon vs. their Double Watermelon.
I gotta say most of these flavors are hard to use as a up front in your face flavor option. I still havenāt found the perfect Watermelonā¦ but Iāll keep trying them out.

Hey nice flavor points ! I have found only recently that the only way I can get a decent rounded flavor from MF watermelon is to blend it with another watermelon and mostly I have come to the conclusion that TFA watermelon at around 1% has the smell strong enough to cover that disgusting nail polish smell I get from MFās watermelon and when the two are combined at least I get the aroma from the TFA ( at small doses it still gags me at higher ones ) and then I get the MF watermelonās rind taste after it steepsā¦I have to use MFās around 1-2 drops per 10 mls and then let it steep for a while around 3-4 weeks.
I like LA Clear watermelon itās a viable option to off set the stinky MF watermelon and I may try working with it as a combination of the two but it too is candy like and is a sweeter one so itās hopeful.
Guess I am saying try to blend a few of them to your desired taste. I also took notice you did not mention Nicotine labs / Delosi Watermelon which is the best watermelon imho.

Personally Iāve been testing TPA watermelon, LA clear and LA with the coloring. Yea I know I shouldnāt be using the LA with the food coloring but to me it has a different and better taste.

I just tried TFA and it worked really well with my LA Melon in a Mix with Menthol.

To be honest I am really liking the combination of FA and INW watermelon together. Iām also finding its balancing really well with other flavors.
Iām not even sure what mix Iām vaping right now. But itās cactus orange + more orange and watermelon

Thanks to all who made comments. Iāve surmised that, apparently, watermelon is somewhat of a hard to find āgoodā flavor. As a noob DIYāer, I am actually ālookingā for a sweet, candy flavored watermelon, specifically for a good watermelon jolly rancher recipe. Iāve wasted so many ingredients trying to come up with my own watermelon jolly rancher recipe, only to finally accept the fact that I need more experience to actually come up with a recipe of my own yet; at least, a watermelon jolly rancher flavor. Iāve mixed all kinds of combos of sweet, tart, hard candy, jolly rancher flavors with almost all available watermelon flavors and just had to bag the idea for a while. I just recently found a recipe that I actually liked and could vape [well, 2, to be precise] and Iām sticking with these two totally unrelated [from watermelon] DIY juices until I know more. I really had no idea going into this that it would be so difficult to make e-juice. I have new respect for those who actually are good at this art and figure it will take me a year or two of working with flavors to begin to understand all the intricacies of mixing. Itās similar to learning to be a chef and one just canāt expect to be good at it just because they have the tools. In the meantime, thanks go out to all who have made recipes on this site that are delicious and that I can benefit from their expertise while learning. And if anyone does have a good watermelon jolly rancher recipe, Iād love to try it.

Hi Exluvah ( I like that name hee hee ! ) just curious if youāve tried LorAnnās watermelon ( Clear ) they make one that has coloring in it , itās available at wal-mart in the baking isle. Anyway, that watermelon is very candy - jolly rancher like. Also, do you have FWās Hard candy by chance ? Iād start with these two and see where it takes youā¦ you may decide to throw in , in small portions a green apple or a candy one and maybe some grape as well !

On that watermelon hunt again lol what would you say the difference between INW and FA Watermelon is?
Lol. Itās funny. Iāve never vaped them solo. I just mix it with FA. I hadnāt been very scientific about it. Which is pretty lame on my part. Iāve been alittle more research mode on watermelon.
I got in RF sc, clear la, and nic river. But the odd part is that I didnāt build a test recpie with just inw.
