Everybody's different :p
I like it both solo, and mixed with bakery, fruits etc.
Solo, I use 2-3% .. good stuff

The Spicy Biscuit EA is just as good, and I find very little "spicy" taste to it .. great w/fruit
I vape it at 3% solo, and it has a mild flaky pastry flavor to me.
I basically vape using 70pg/30vg, and I did not add, or need any sweetener with either
Went back for a bigger bottle of both.:thumbs:
Wow. I went way overboard. The reason I initially asked was because I used it twice in recipes and both times the flavor was very muted. The first one was I think 7 or 8 percent and the second was 10%. The other flavors with the second try was butter, cinnamon and Vienna cream FA. The flavor is very weak and cant really taste any of the flavors. Now I know why. To try and salvage it I'll add 15 ml of unflavored with the same PG VG Nic levels. It started with 20 ml and I probably vaped 5 ml. One other question on the Biscuit. I got mine from RTSvapes. The color is a slight yellow tinge. The smell isn't overly strong but I can smell it. Does this sound right in comparison to yours? Thanks again

Pretty much, I would say that both of the Biscuits are clear, but it does lean towards the "tinge" of yellow since you planted the idea in my head :blush:
So it's not exactly like water clear, but darn close.

I only buy from RTS when I can't find the flavor I want anywhere else.
They re-bottle a lot of their flavors since they buy in barrels, and I have heard a lot of complaints from vapers about how the flavor can vary between bottles, or buying times.

It won't have a strong smell .. actually it's a delicate flavor on the soft side ... but kicks in when mixed.
The easiest way to test any flavor, is to just make a 2ml test of it solo. That way you can test the strength of the flavor, and see if it's any good to start with.
I have a lot of flavors that I start out testing a 1%, .. you can always add a drop or two to the test bottle until you can taste it.
If I can't taste it solo, I sure won't taste it in a recipe. And ... if I have to use a ton of flavoring, it better taste good solo, because I won't mix with it because of the high % it requires, unless it go's with another flavor that is super strong. I like to keep my flavoring under 20% total
I have also had to buy the same flavor from about 5 different company's before finding one my taste buds liked. Everyone makes Strawberry taste different :cry:

But Biscuit (either one) makes the best "bakery, or pastry" type of flavor that I have tried.
And how does the saying go .... I've kissed a lot of frogs :lol:
Just play with it, or any flavor, and start low,.. you can always add a drop or two.

Thanks Much. I will post back when I have some results. Yeah, I have a bad habit of over flavoring or trying to mix too many flavors at once. You know how they'll say it looks good on paper. That would be me!

I could be just dumb of course but I am trying to place an order with InaweraWinkel.com I get to the check out, I select Paypal, I even go ahead and tick the box to receive email updates but that is where it stops. There is no button to complete the purchase! I've even left them a note and they did not come back. I've never ordered from this site - usually I get my stuff directly from Inawera themselves in Poland but this site has some flavours I wish to get that the INW site doesn't have, at least not at the current time. What on earth is going on?!

Your country code has probably been dropped. It's a strange bug on the site. Go back to the personal info page and make sure the appropriate country for you is checked. Once it is it will allow you to check out.

Yeah I just checked and it did that again to me. I re=checked the country and everything worked. And since an in basket is a terrible thing to waste... I ordered most of the new pipe line and the new gingerbread! :w00t: I also broke down and finally got the DNB. Oye Vey my taste buds were finally on the return. Oh well...

My experience, courtesy of my smoking relapse last summer, is that however "dirty" a vape may claim to be... it's NOTHING LIKE as dirty as a real cigarette. :D That Dirty Ashtray ejuice that ECBlends sells? To me, as a smoker... it tasted like maple syrup. :D So your buds are probably safe, even from DNB. :D

It's funny but when I first started vaping I got a tobacco juice from a local B&M after a few test hits in the store. After an hour or so at home I realized it tasted awful and just made me want an analog even more. I finally found a juice I liked and swore never to try a tobacco again. Then I found this place and immediately jumped into diy. Then I read Danny's description of Highway and he never mentioned feline urine. OK I'll bite.

I get it and it's gooood! Then I read Jimi talking about "ashy" flavors, Hmmm is that where the cats come in? Nope not for me! But then I read about VTA that has just a little ash. OK I'll bite. I get it and it's goooood! But I draw the line at S'Camel that has more than just a little ash. Nope not for me! I'm keeping the cats at bay!
Then I read that Art likes S'Camel and I like some of the stuff he does too. OK I'll bite. S'Camel with a few drops of AP is awesome! Now I find I'm vaping "ashy" types at work most days, but hey at least I haven't gone as far as that damn DNB...:facepalm:

I really don't like most tobaccos anymore... but the "Smocha" that I make, with VA TA and Coffee Tobacco in it... it's great! I dunno about "ashy" but it's definitely smoky... really, it reminds me a great deal of walking into a diner back in the good ol days when you could still enjoy a smoke while sitting at your table, smelling the coffee and smoke in the air, while enjoying a nice cup of cocoa that you added some of your date's coffee to, while puffing on your own smoke. Mmhmm! :D

V TA and Coffee/tobacco Huh? Hmmm, I think I'm seeing that. That I'm gonna' try. Our EMV (every morning Vape) is Capp K, Am4a, coffee-tobacco and vanilla. It's really the only complicated recipe I do. We like to tank mix simple one or two ingredient blends mostly. But I could see the VTA giving things a little UMPH! And first thing in the mournin' I need more UMPH!

My recipe is pretty complicated, might not be anything that interests you, but it's good; I'm told it's very chocolatey, but I don't really taste that -- I have a blind spot for chocolate vapes, is all I can figure -- but the chocolate in it seems to "soften" the bitter bite of the coffee flavors -- and although I jump around among several manufacturers, it's the first 3, the Inawera flavors, that really give this one character! If you don't like sweet coffee, you might prefer to leave off the sweetener, since some of the other ingredients are a bit sweet in their own right. The malted milk can also be safely left out; it's an artifact remaining from when I was trying to clone Long Bottom Leaf Pipe Sauce; this isn't *exactly* like that, but maybe a little similar.

Smocha
Inawera Cappucino 2%
Inawera Coffee Tobacco 2.5%
Inawera Virginia Tobacco Absolute 2.5%
CAP Hazelnut v2 2.5%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 2%
TFA Milk Chocolate 3%
TFA Dbl Chocolate-Clear 3%
CAP SweetCream 5%
TFA Malted Milk 1%
TFA Sweetener 1.5%

Wow again. I added an additional 30 ml of VG PG Nic in the same ratio to the remaining 15 ml that I over Percented (not a real word). Flavor it fairly intense now. Vaping with my Mako RDA on the IPV4. If you don't mind my asking, what are the flavors from Inawera that you feel are must haves? I Think I'm interested in getting some more. I guess my profile would read Milky Cereal or Bakery with Fruits but not custard types. Way back in 2010/11 I vaped mostly tobaccos and couldn't vape fruit at all. I find it so strange how taste in eliquid changes over time.

That's a loaded question, so I won't tell you the ones I didn't like, because everyone has picky taste buds, and you need to try them yourself .... but I like:
Apple WG 1% solo, ..has a strong apple flavor, which makes it great for mixing.
Both Biscuits
Black Current
, only 1 drop in 4ml. It's a strong true, TART current flavor..
Ok solo, and good for mixing.
Honey EA 2% solo, mild, true honey flavor without the sweetness.
Melon EA 1% solo .. Honeydew I think ...nice flavor
Mocha EA, I go up to 20% solo. I only use it solo, and I think it's good.
Pear EA at 5-6% is good solo
Pina Colada EA at 7%, it's citrusy, and good
Plum EA 3-4% solo, a good flavor, nice for a change-up.
Sesame EA ..yes it sounds weird, but I like it, and it's great in some recipes, 5% solo too.
Tiramisu EA 6% solo ..love my coffee types
Shisha Cinnamon 8% solo, soft mild flavor, good
Shisha Mai Tai 6% solo, good, citrusy
Shisha Strawberry 3-4%, not a "fresh" strawberry, but good
Shisha Lemon 3% solo, mild, good
I still have 9 mixed, waiting to be tested.
Other than both Biscuits, and Shisha Strawberry, non of the others are "must haves", but I have found them to be better than other company's I've tried ... pick of the litter for now :blush:
Some others, are OK, just not "stand-outs" to me
Hope that gives you some ideas, ... maybe someone else will suggest a few

Any one know if vanilla for pipe has diacetyl or acetoin? My quick shake & vape a week ago didn't set off my allergies. Granted I only vaped a few drops. Today wow! Itchy throat, tight chest , and runny nose. Dark for pipe doesn't do this to me. The winkle site had no info through a search.

I have no info on that, but it seems an unlikely flavor for diketones... I'd suspect maybe vanillin? Which sounds like it ought to be made of vanilla, but it's actually an artificial flavor.
