Cucumber is a familiar ingredient with a very long history, though few people think about how old it is. It is not especially sweet and is mostly water, which is why it mixes so easily with fruit. E-liquid makers have used it the same way. Below are two blends where cucumber plays a part, one with blackberry and one with watermelon and lime.
Charlie’s Chalk Dust Black Ice
Black Ice is a long-standing liquid from Charlie’s Chalk Dust and a summer favorite. Three things go into it: ripe blackberry, cucumber and menthol. They are mixed with a light hand, so the flavor stays delicate, and we could vape it all day in warm weather without tiring of it.
The order is easy to follow. Blackberry comes in as you inhale. Cucumber takes over as you breathe out. The cold menthol arrives last.
- VG/PG: 70/30
- Nicotine: 0mg, 3mg or 6mg
- Bottle: 60ml
Tropic King Cucumber Cooler
Cucumber Cooler from Tropic King is another one for summer. It puts cucumber together with ripe watermelon and lime. The melon supplies the sugar, the lime the sour edge, and the cucumber adds a quiet note between the two.
Watermelon is what you taste on the inhale. Its sweetness then steps back, and cucumber with lime meets you on the exhale.
- VG/PG: 70/30
- Nicotine: 0mg, 3mg or 6mg
- Bottle: 100ml
Choosing between them
Both share a 70/30 ratio and the same nicotine levels. Pick Black Ice if you want berry and a menthol finish, and Cucumber Cooler if you prefer melon and citrus with no cooling agent listed.
