Seriously Fusionz Shortfill E-Liquid By Doozy – Strawberry Watermelon Ice

Strawberry Watermelon Ice: a summer garden with the chill left on

Some fruit blends try to be clever. Strawberry Watermelon Ice from Doozy's Seriously Fusionz range does the opposite, and that is exactly why it works. It picks two of the most instantly recognisable summer fruits, lets them lean on each other, then finishes the whole thing with a clean menthol breeze so it never feels heavy. The result is a shortfill that tastes like the back garden in July, right down to the cold drink you were holding.

This is a large-format shortfill designed for sub-ohm kit and cloud production, so the flavour arrives with body and volume rather than as a thin whisper. That matters here, because both strawberry and watermelon need a bit of room to open up, and this liquid gives them that room.

The taste, from the first draw to the last of the exhale

First inhale

The opening note is ripe strawberry, and it is the jammy, sun-warmed kind rather than the sharp green one. It hits the tip of the tongue sweet and rounded, with none of that artificial candied edge that lesser strawberry liquids fall into. Almost immediately the watermelon slides in underneath, wide and juicy, adding a watery freshness that stops the strawberry becoming cloying.

Mid-vape

By the middle of the draw the two fruits have properly fused, and this is where the blend earns its Fusionz name. You stop tasting them as separate things and start tasting one cohesive red-fruit flavour, plump and mouth-filling. The watermelon carries the volume while the strawberry carries the sweetness, and the balance holds steady puff after puff. There is a genuine sense of juice here, a soft wet texture that makes it feel more like biting into fruit than inhaling a flavouring.

Exhale and aftertaste

The exhale is where the Ice makes its entrance. A cool menthol wave rolls across the palate, tidying up the sweetness and leaving your mouth feeling refreshed rather than sticky. It is a measured chill, not a full-on ice blast, so the fruit stays clearly in the lead. The aftertaste is clean and slightly cooling, the sort that makes you want another draw within a minute. Crucially, it does not leave a syrupy film behind, which is the failing of a lot of dessert-adjacent fruit vapes.

Who it suits and when to reach for it

This is an all-day vape for anyone who leans sweet but hates being overwhelmed. If your usual rotation is fruity rather than tobacco, custard or menthol-heavy, Strawberry Watermelon Ice will slot in without a fight. It is especially good in warm weather, on a walk, in a beer garden, or after a workout when you want something that feels genuinely thirst-quenching. It also works as a palate reset if you have been vaping something rich and want to feel clean again.

Mood-wise it is a bright, easygoing flavour. It is not a moody late-night vape or a contemplative one. It is the profile you reach for when you want a lift, and it pairs naturally with sunshine, socialising and cold drinks.

How it compares to similar blends

Straight strawberry liquids can be one-dimensional and often tip into a boiled-sweet flavour. Watermelon on its own tends to taste faintly of bubblegum or, worse, of cucumber. Marrying the two solves both problems, because the strawberry gives the watermelon a sweeter core and the watermelon gives the strawberry hydration and lift. Against a strawberry kiwi it is softer and less tart. Against a watermelon menthol it is sweeter and rounder, with more red fruit up front. If you have enjoyed strawberry ice or watermelon bubblegum blends before, this sits comfortably between them but feels more complete than either.

Rotating and pairing to avoid palate fatigue

Even a well-balanced fruit blend can dull if it is all you vape for weeks. Because this one is sweet with a cool finish, the smart move is to rotate it with something that hits a different part of the palate. A sharp citrus or a tart berry works well as a contrast, resetting your taste buds so the strawberry pops again when you come back to it. Avoid pairing it with another sweet red fruit in the same session, as the two will blur together and you will lose the definition that makes this one enjoyable. A menthol-forward or a lightly herbal blend in the other pocket keeps things interesting.

Getting the truest taste from it

A few practical habits make a real difference. First, let the bottle steep after you add nicotine. Twenty-four to forty-eight hours in a cool, dark cupboard with an occasional shake lets the strawberry and watermelon marry properly, and the menthol settles from a sharp top note into a smooth finish. Second, use a coil suited to fruit blends. A round-wire coil in the 0.15 to 0.4 ohm range tends to bring out the juicy body without scorching the sweetness. A fresh coil is where this flavour is at its absolute best, so if the strawberry starts tasting flat or the exhale loses its chill, that is your cue to swap it rather than blaming the liquid. Third, keep your power sensible. Push the wattage too high and the sweetness can caramelise and the menthol can turn harsh, so stay in the coil's comfort band.

Storage is straightforward. Keep it upright, away from sunlight and heat, and it will hold its character for months. Warm liquid tastes muddier and the cool finish fades, so a bottle left on a sunny windowsill will never taste as good as one kept in a drawer.

Who might want to give it a miss

If you dislike any cooling at all, the Ice element will not be for you, and a non-menthol strawberry or watermelon would suit you better. Vapers who prefer tart, sour or complex layered profiles may find this a touch simple and sweet, since its charm is in being clean and direct rather than intricate. And anyone chasing a tobacco or dessert experience is clearly in the wrong aisle.

Frequently asked questions

Is the menthol strong in Strawberry Watermelon Ice?

No. The cooling is a refreshing finish rather than a full ice blast. It sits behind the fruit and cleans up the sweetness on the exhale, so even vapers who normally avoid heavy menthol tend to find this comfortable. If you want more bite you can vape it slightly cooler, which lets the chill read a touch sharper.

Does the strawberry or the watermelon dominate?

They are genuinely balanced, which is the whole point of the Fusionz idea. The strawberry leads on sweetness at the front of the draw and the watermelon provides the juicy body and volume through the middle. Neither bullies the other, so you get a single unified red-fruit flavour rather than two competing notes.

Will it taste sickly after a full day of vaping?

Less than most sweet fruit liquids, thanks to the cool finish that resets your palate between draws. It is designed as an all-day option. That said, rotating in a sharper or more savoury flavour now and then keeps your taste buds fresh and stops any sweet blend, this one included, from fading into the background.
