I have a large amount of flavors stored in the freezer that I haven't had the time to test yet :-O
No idea how many I have, probably closer to 250-300 (or perhaps even more) .

I like to mix a variation of tobacco, fruits and desert mixes, but tobacco is what I usually tend to try first.

I'll do the red fruit mint once it arrives as well (yeah, it's a pain waiting for the shipments from Poland, but they are darn cheap so it's worth the waiting time), I think it will be a nice one :)

Holy moly @Zinfandel! I believe in being prepared, but wow! :) I see you have TFA Kentucky Bourbon on your list. Flavorah just came out with a Bourbon. I'll let you know how it is. Been looking for one that doesn't taste watered down.

I just ordered some things from Poland. Just on a lark, I clicked on Mississippi, thinking for sure it was another tobacco. Nope. Pineapple cream. Huh? AFAIK, they don't grow pineapples in Mississippi. :laugh:

LOL glasseye, I did the same with Missisippi, thinking it was an american tobacco blend of some sort, and when I tested it, I was like.... Wait, is this tobacco? What the heck is this, pineapple tobacco?

I was a little disappointed getting no tobacco from it... Oh well, if you don't care to read up on the reviews or descriptions when you order, I guess I have my self to blame :)

Yeah, let me know about the Flavorah Burbon once you have tested it, I'm in the same "boat" not getting a decent burbon flavor from what I have tried before..... as you said glasseye they all taste watered down.

And I thought 'Green Spring Tea' for Jasmine Tea was bad.:D

At least it did say 'Tea' so I had some clue, but I went by it a couple of times thinking it was some herbal concoction. I'm going to try it tomorrow because out of about 20 clearomizers I didn't have one cleaned out for a new flavor.:oops:

4 new flavors released. Guava, Kiwi, Miss Cream, and Raw Pineapple. Nothing that makes me want them yesterday, but I'll probably try them at some point. If anyone does try them, give us a shout please. :)

Concentrate - "GUAVA"

It is a flavour on a sour-refreshing taste with delictae notes: pear, fige and quince.
If you did not try GUAVA yet you would rather consider before you do it. You can fall in love in this fruit.
Due to used ingredients the concentrate is naturally murky.

Concentrate - "KIWI"

Sweet, ripe kiwi fruit with a skin and seeds recognizable. Taste and smell very close to the natural fruit.

Concentrate - "MISS CREAM"

Creamy custard taste with a delicate hint of fudge and vanilla.

Concentrate - "RAW PINEAPPLE"

Fresh pineapple taste. Juicy, tempting nad complex, with subtle hints of mint, anis and white almonds in the background.

I didn't fix the spelling mistakes or sentence structure because...who doesn't like a good nad complex and used ingredients? :laugh:

Hopefully "Taste and smell very close to the natural fruit" wasn't also about the nad complex!

I'll definitely get the guava, as I don't have any guava flavor yet, and this sounds good. Also probably the raw pineapple.

I'm just trying Cherimoya (that I got a while back) for the first time right now, fresh and unsteeped. Very promising! I think this will bring a needed extra layer to some of my pineapple and/or citrus mixes, as well as good alone with custards. And maybe just as a single flavor mix, but there's some perfume-y note right now that I hope will go away with a little steeping.

LOL! Let's hope not.

Yes, I like that one a lot. The Cherimoya. It is a bit floral still after sitting, but a nice soft fruit.

I read some of the reviews from testers on the Polish forum for Raw Pineapple. Some people get a strong mint and anise, and some don't get it at all. I don't like (pepper)mint or anise so that one is probably out for me. But I'm still curious about it...tried every other pineapple.

I'll be sure to test the new flavors out :)
I just need time to go through a load of flavors I haven't tested yet.

Mixed up 10 new flavors a couple of weeks ago, and Vanilla Cream and Red Fruit & Mint are in that batch.
I'll report on them soon (along with 5 other Inawera flavors). Been pretty busy lately, and haven't had much time to mix up some new goodies :yawn:

Inawera Red Fruit & Mint

This is my notes on this one mixed at 3%

upload_2017-5-8_7-49-46.png


Score: 6/10. Would easily been a 8-9/10 with the proper balance/strength of the mint flavor.

It kind of reminds me of this sweet from my childhood:

Inawera Burley

upload_2017-5-8_17-8-52.png


Score: 8/10. This is nicely blended, and the grassy/hay taste is sitting well balanced in the background, subdued by the honey and vanilla. It leaves me with a (from what I can remember from smoking) cig'a'like aftertaste in the mouth. This flavor would also work well in a pipe mix. It also has a tiny bit of smoke/ash taste, but very faint. A winner for sure!

Morning folks! I am thinking of stepping into the world of Inawera!I'm on the hunt for a Strawberry, blueberry, guava, pear, pineapple, peach, mango, and a grape candy.
To me .. Inawera Shisha Strawberry is the best out there, especially for mixing (for solo, start with low %),
Their Wild Strawberry is good, but not a "fresh" taste
Their Peach was bitter, like green fruit
Their Blueberry EA is good and super strong
Their Pear EA is good solo at 5-6%
I like their Raspberry, solo at 6% too.
When it comes to Mango, the Inawera tasted bitter. I use HS Mango (Hangsen)

I'm a big fan of Strawberry Shisha as well. I like to mix it with Strawberry Ripe (TFA), 3/1 Ripe/Shisha. My experience with their Peach is completely different. For me, it's my favorite Peach, very realistic & juicy. I like to mix it with a touch of Apricot (FA). Of course, YMMV... :D

If you like to push the strawberry flavor to the sweet/full side, try adding 1 drop (yeah that's right, 1 drop) of Wild Strawberry. It's beyond belief strong, but added at 1-2 drops to 10 or 15ml. fruit mixes, it works wonders :) It's goes very well in a mix with Strawberry Ripe (TFA) and/or Strawberry Shisha.

Also a tiny bit of Inawera cactus or pitaya/Dragon fruit (small quantity) to fruit mixes, makes them really stand out, and feel "moist" and fresh :)

Ahhh those "taste buds" are tricky huh. :blush:
I did find a Peach I love, but I wish all my favorite flavors were made by just one company so I didn't have to shop all over the place.
Besides, it was a pain buying a dozen of the same flavor from all over, just to find the "good" one.
But, it was fun "playing them forward"

Inawera Tab for Camel

I mixed this up at 3%, and here is my notes on this one:

upload_2017-5-14_20-52-36-png.657181


I rate this one 5/10, as I think there are far better representations of Camel cigarette flavors out there.

I can see this one mixed in cinnamon bakery recipes, and would work well with a sweeter apple flavor.
