Love 66: the cult shisha flavour as e-liquid

If you have ever spent an evening in a shisha bar, you probably know Love 66. It is the cult hookah flavour: juicy watermelon and melon, lifted by tangy passion fruit, with a touch of freshness and, in the original version, a hint of mint. Good news for vapers: this taste exists as an e-liquid. The short answer: for the Love 66 closest to shisha, go for Love 66 Adalya in 60ml; for a French-made version without mint, Love 66 Chicha Puff Juice in 50ml; for a pod, Love 66 JNR in 10ml with nic salts, a different recipe that leans towards citrus.

What is Love 66?

Love 66 started out as a shisha recipe by Adalya, a maker based in Turkey. Its e-liquid description calls it "the most smoked of all Adalya recipes" and a "hookah legend". The name has travelled far beyond shisha bars, and the recipe has been turned into e-liquid, by Adalya itself and by other makers.

Why is it so popular? The profile is simple and effective: very juicy summer fruit, a wake-up tang, and a fresh finish. None of the descriptions mentions dessert or bakery notes: it is a clean fruity flavour, and the Chicha Puff Juice description sums it up as "an exotic classic to vape all day long".

Love 66 flavour in a vape: what to expect

The three Love 66 in our catalogue share a family resemblance, but not exactly the same recipe. Here is what each description announces:

• Watermelon and melon: Adalya and Chicha Puff Juice.
• Passion fruit: all three.
• Mint: Adalya only.
• Tangy citrus: JNR only, which announces neither watermelon nor melon.
• Freshness: all three, with a touch of freshness for Chicha Puff Juice, fresh mint for Adalya and a cool backdrop for JNR.

If you are after the exact memory of the hookah, bet on the watermelon, melon and mint trio. If you mostly want an exotic, fresh fruit flavour in a small pod, JNR does the job, with its own take.

Love 66 Adalya 60ml: the original recipe

Love 66 Adalya is made in Turkey by Adalya, the house behind the shisha recipe. You get juicy watermelon and melon, lifted by passion fruit, and a touch of fresh mint that, in the words of its description, "rounds off this hookah legend, finally available as an e-liquid". 50/50 ratio, 60ml bottle.

Who is it for? For those who know Love 66 from shisha and want the most faithful version, mint included. The bottle leaves room for a nic shot: 60ml + 1 Unicorn Boost = 70ml at about 3mg/ml nicotine.

Love 66 Chicha Puff Juice 50ml: the French-made version

Love 66 Chicha Puff Juice is made in France by Chicha Puff Juice. Its description takes up "the cult shisha-bar flavour": juicy watermelon and melon, lifted by tangy passion fruit and a touch of freshness. No mint is announced. 50/50 ratio, 50ml bottle sold at 0mg.

Who is it for? For an all-fruit Love 66 to vape all day in a regular kit, without the minty note. With a nic shot: 50ml + 1 Unicorn Boost = 60ml at about 3.3mg/ml.

Love 66 JNR 10ml: nic salts for pods

Love 66 JNR is a nic salt e-liquid made in China by JNR. Its recipe takes another route: tangy, invigorating citrus meets the tropical softness of passion fruit over a cool backdrop. Its description talks about "an exotic, captivating summer recipe". 50/50 ratio, in 10ml.

Who is it for? For pod users who want an e-liquid that already contains nicotine, ready to vape, with no shot to add. Good to know: its description announces neither watermelon nor melon. It is a cousin of the shisha Love 66 rather than a copy.

Which Love 66 should you choose?

You come from shisha and want the exact taste: Love 66 Adalya, the only version with mint.

You vape with a regular kit and prefer fruit without mint: Love 66 Chicha Puff Juice, in 50ml.

You use a pod and want a ready-to-use liquid: Love 66 JNR in 10ml, bearing in mind that its recipe is more citrus than watermelon.

What about puffs?

Many people search for "love 66 puff". The three Love 66 on this page are e-liquids, to fill a refillable e-cigarette; for a puff-like experience, Love 66 JNR, in 10ml with nic salts in a small pod, comes closest. If you are torn between puff and pod, our article on the energy drink flavour puff shows, with another cult flavour, how to move from puff to liquid.
