I found the CC TA not quite as dry as you might think
Sorry, I should have been more specific; I don't put the INW CC TA in the dry category either.

Thanks! Since I figured that I should try using more coils so thicker Kanthal (and I find this much harder to work with) I've been using a coil jig and my coils have never been so neat!!!
Do you think a 6/7 coil set-up with a thick Kanthal wire is bound to perform much better than using 4 coils with thinner Kanthal? I stuck with the 4 coils for a very long time and then suddenly decided to change. From what you've said the neater coils using the jig could be the main thing that made all the difference!
Well, back to the tests on that INA Cuban TA. It's excellent so far and I'm narrowing down to a preferred mix. Just got the Rustica and ECX TE absolute which I'd tried some time back. Lot of gear up. And it's madness with this deeming thing.
Good luck all.![]()
5% Inawera TA Cuban Cigar
3% Inawera Dark Tobacco
1% Inawera DNB
Makes an awesome Captain Black !
I bought the INA Cuban TA for one recipe that EdT586 posted here (copied below). Haven't used that TA in anything else just yet, but I should as this recipe is one of my favourite vapes now. I just finished my 3rd bottle of it so it's come to the point where I'll mix 100ml next time (thanks a lot to EdT586). Only thing is I dropped the flavouring amounts to drops instead of %s because I can't stand strong liquids. I work in %s with my Hangsen tobaccos and drops with the INA ones. I prefer using %s but I only recently started experimenting with lots of INA tobaccos, so a bit of a learning curve at the moment while I get used to using them. Thanks for your long and really informative post, I appreciate it loads and will do some reading and thinking before I reply to that part![]()
I'm thinking instead of making it stronger with these two ingredients, it's needs something more to get a reg classic analog flavor. Any suggestions?
Great thread! After 3 years of paying out the nose for premium premix juice, for the first time I actually taste tobacco, LOL. I recently tried Mt Baker USA Tobacco, thought I liked it, so purchased the 236ml bottle. Realized I didn't like it and found this thread, and others. Having a large bottle of this on hand (didn't want to waste the $) I purchased some unflavored base and the following
10 drops Inawera Garuda/20 drops Hangsen Virginia Tobacco in 10ml base
I put 12 drops of this in a 20ml bottle of 50% Mt Baker USA Tobacco/50% Unflavored base. Since my solution in the Unflavored base alone without the Mt Baker USA Tobacco isn't strong enough, I'm thinking instead of making it stronger with these two ingredients, it's needs something more to get a reg classic analog flavor. Any suggestions? I'm gonna try stronger but I have a feeling it's gonna be missing something.
Which flavor is this describing? I need to try this.Yup; a dark, flavorful, slightly spicy and sweet, roll your, own type Virginia tobacco. I can taste a touch of deep smoked plum in this concentrate; very satisfying vape and great with a bit of INW Rum.

Glad you said this, it's something that confuses me. In my 'Order Details' Inawera Garuda is called a TA.Or else you could add some tobacco absolute
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

"Tobacco Absolute Garuda WG-INW"
In reading these threads I've seen the suggestion to use a TA with what I think is already a TA. Is TA used loosely for non-TA's and there's products that are actual TA's?

Until Inawera came along, we only had two types of TA, namely Nicotainia Tabacum and Nicotainia Rustica. The former was typically derived from Virginia leaves and the latter from Mapacho leaves, an exotic variety. But you are right, the term is used loosely these days to include extracts from several other varieties of leaves. And when you think of it, anything extracted from natural tobacco leaves is really a TA. The only difference is, some are more concentrated than others.
You can consider DNB for example to be a TA because according to it's description, it is made from leaves.
Thx Ex. For a minute there was thinkin' I was missin' out on somethin'!Good luck.
Come to think of it Mac, any of Hangsen's tobacco flavors can also be considered an "Absolute." They are actually extracted from tobacco leaves. Hangsen calls them "essence" I think ...
Oh and, yes, do try it. Vaping it as I tap this and it's sooooooo good. Tastes vary, and this gunk coils a bit faster than some, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. And if ya don't like it, trade it to meWhich flavor is this describing? I need to try this.
