Inawera- a few reviews

[CoilMeister]

After a 8 hour hot water steep and sitting overnight, the SCamel is smoother and more defined and still good, will report back in 1 week.

Yes, if you are referring to the very technical term of "squeezeablilty". What I notice, and I am assuming this is due to varying wall thickness of the bottle, is that some bottles are very easy to squeeze while others you feel like you are crushing them to get drops out. Sorta like some bottles have a "sweet spot". So far no problems, but I have wondered about it at times. I really like their bottles, especially the tips that seem to be pretty consistent with drop size. On the other hand I hope that one day I will not end up with my hands and shirt covered in flavoring after one of the more difficult bottles "blows up" from too much pressure....lol

I did notice it too! It looks like some bottles are made out of PET, and some others LPDE...

I can never keep the plastic types straight -- are both of those on the "OK" list?

The PET ones are the ones with the clear plastic. Most of the water bottles (not the gallon ones) are made out of PET. I thought PET was the "best" plastic but I'm not 100% sure anymore. I think overall both are OK but I'm not sure about long term storage.

Thanks for the info. I think for any long term storage I would look to glass. The only problem with glass is my 10 thumbs. If there is a way to break a glass bottle, I'll bet I've found it. The fact that my whole house is floored with ceramic tile really does not help me one bit either....lol.

I started using glass too for some of my mixes. I have these beautiful blue 30 and 60 mL glass bottles from Ahlusion. I don't like to keep them with droppers on because I think air seeps in from the dropper bulb. Also some of the dropper and even regular caps leak when I shake the bottles. It's quite annoying since I have to shake them wrapped in napkins! Has anyone found leak and air proof glass bottle caps?

Thanks.

Check out Specialty Bottle or one of the other vendors who specialize in containers and closures. I think Specialty may be more expensive, but I've had great success with them and they rarely are out of product. I get phenolic caps with liners that do not leak at all. You can get them for all sizes of bottles.
When you tighten them you can feel the liner meeting the glass. Just don't crank so hard as to wear out the liner. The liners will pick up stronger flavors sometimes and you may have to soak them in detergent overnight to get rid of it. Considering how cheap they are, you could also just replace with a new, non-smelly one.....

Thanks. From Specialty Bottle do you order the phenolic caps separately or are these the standard caps that come with bottles?

Caps are separate. I think this is so you can chose what type of closure you want. Also make sure you get the proper closure for the size bottles you order. Beside the "regular" lined cap, I've also used the European closures -- think that is the proper term. They allow you to use a needle (blunt or sharp) to get e-liquid or bulk flavoring from the bottle. Nice thing about them is if you tip the bottle over, no spillage. Pretty slick.
Just happened to think of another vendor who had pretty good prices -- Packaging Options.

Thanks again Horton. The pricing at Packaging Options is pretty good. One ounce Blue Cobalt glass bottles $0.47 + caps with P/E cone liner $0.22. Also nice discount if you buy 120+ bottles

The shipping might be a bit stiff though. I checked for 6 bottles, it's $10+ cheapest, but now they have 50% off, so it's $5ish which is OK.

I forgot to mention the rather stiff shipping cost with Packaging Options. And, it does seem a little pokey. But, their packages are very well packed and I try to order enough and far ahead so I'm not sweating the delivery time.

There are many bottle vendors so do look around. I'm thinking about switching to blue from amber and right now I can't remember the reason why -- think I'm having a "senior moment"!!

Glad I was able to help a little.......

Thanks again

From them, shipping charges are lowest if goods are shipped to a business address.

Vaping Inawera Gold Ducat this evening. This 20ml bottle has steeped a month and smoother than my mix and vape within 24 hr habit. I've been vaping other Inawera tobaccos for a few weeks and this Gold Ducat mix had sat for over a month. Was very pleased with it's smoothly blended flavor.

Very Gold Ducatity...

I'm vaping the Peach Pie right now.

This might be the best Peach Mix i've made.

I have some questions about some Inawera flavors; I did try a search, but it's hard to find anything that way.

First off, I'm interested in the "coffee tobacco" flavor... can anyone tell me anything about it, other than "morning coffee, slight milky taste, slight taste of tobacco"? Is it sweet? Is it smoky at all? Can you actually taste tobacco in it?

Also... I notice 4 different varieties of Tobacco Absolute (at bullcity)... oriental, "garuda" whatever that is, virginia, and cuban cigar. Can anyone tell me what the real difference in these might be, in their taste? I'm looking for something smoky and sweet; I don't think it's a Virginia tobacco taste I'm looking for; I like Virginia flavor, but to me VA is more fruity, more "sour" sort of, a flavor leaning somewhat towards apple cider. The taste I'm looking for is a definitely smoky and lightly sweet taste, that would go well with coffee. Pretty sure I'm not looking for anything remotely like a cigar... which leaves oriental and garuda, and since I have no idea what garuda is, I really don't know which of these might be more what I'm looking for.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!!

Hi,

I don't have any experience with INW Coffee Tobacco.

I do have INW Tobacco absolute Virginia and although it has a sweet note it is not sour as in leaning toward apple cider, Each manufacturers' flavors are a bit different in taste, I also have INW Tobacco absolute cigar and it definately leans towards a cigar taste, I don't have any experience with Garuda and Oriental absolute.

The INW dark tobacco has a deep smoky taste and slightly sweet as well as Little space drop, both of these could be mixed with a coffee flavor imo.
