Oh it's good but I wouldn't hand it to a Cuban who's smoked the real deal. I particularly like the Cohiba vape flavor as it's a miraculously close considering no cigar in the room :)
I thought the Old Havana had a clove taste at first. It's more like a citrus spice taste that I can't figure out what it actually is.

I hope I'm not going too far off track here but I need some advice about where to start with the Wanilia flavor. On the Inawera Shop site, it is listed under "Fruit Flavors". Unfortunately in the description there is no recommendation like I see on many of the other flavors. When I give this flavor a whiff, it has a great aroma but doesn't seem so strong and I really was thinking about trying this as a standalone flavor. I don't know why I'm still looking for that elusive vanilla juice. I'd swear I have bought just about every vanilla flavoring out there.
Has anyone used this before? Any hints, suggestions, or other flavors that might enhance or bring out the vanilla flavor more? I'm open for suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your help....... it is appreciated.

I don't know if you have the Wanilla K or the Wanilla.

I like the Wanilla at 6 drops (1%) per 10ml with a two week steep.

Thanks for the help, michaelsil1..... I'm not sure what I have either..... By comparing the label on the bottle to what I can find on the Inawera Shop site, I thought it was the Wanilia concentrate. I couldn't find anything with the "K" designator. Tried using their search with wanilia, wanilla, vanilla, etc.
Anyhoo.... I'll start at 6 drops and try to steep for two weeks..... maybe I should make a couple bottles so I can cheat my way to the two week mark. Just like when I cook -- I have to constantly sample my creation or I might be missing something. :D

The above is the K (Koncentrate)


Not a very good picture

That is what I have.... I made up two 10ml bottles using 6 drops -- one I'll try in a few days and hopefully the other I will try in 2 weeks. I'm anxious to see how it tastes. Thanks for the help again......

You might want to bump the K up to 10 drops per 10ml

OK.... haven't used any of the two bottles made, so I'll add four more drops. At six drops, I can barely smell vanilla when I sniff the bottle. I'll keep my fingers cross and I suppose I can always try adding more "to taste" if the ten drops tastes too weak to me..... I'll report back in a few days -- providing I can wait.....lol

I vaped my 6 day steeped Am4A (8 drops in 10 mL with VT nic. 60/40 PG/VG). It has a very pleasant complex taste with a chocolaty finish. I'm getting some cooked fruit nuances of raisins and prunes (maybe molasses?), a touch of coconut perhaps and a hint of black olives :) I'm not getting much tobacco at this time. Does it develop tobacco flavor over time before adding any TA/DNB?
