I'm actually surprised that I haven't seen too many people talk about Inawera on ECF. A lot of people have never even heard of them! They make most of their flavors themselves, and the flavors are really potent (the Wera Garden flavors are *super* concentrated).

RE stands for "regular edition", and "WG" stands for "Wera Garden". You generally need 1 - 2 drops of RE flavors / 1 ml, and 1 - 3 drops of WG flavors / 5 ml.

I rate flavors mostly based on how well they match their descriptions / names, but I also factor in how much I like them.

Anyway, here are my thoughts on the ones I've tried so far:


Pineapple (RE) (9/10)
Tastes exactly like canned pineapple. Feels "crunchy" for some reason, which is kind of weird but good.

Raspberry (RE) (5/10)
Tastes very artificial. Kind of like German raspberries (candy, Google Image it).

Wild strawberry (RE) (9/10)
How do strawberries and wild strawberries taste different? Well, wild strawberries have this weird foresty, pine tree type smell and flavor, right? The guys over at Inawera replicated that *really* well. It has a little more of that foresty smell and flavor than real wild strawberries, but it's really good!

Strawberry (RE) (6/10)
Very artifical. Think strawberry flavored gummy bears (or any gelatin based candy).

Banana (RE) (8/10)
Tastes almost exactly like ripe bananas, but it does have a faint artificial and vaguely chalky feel to it. Banana lovers might really like this one.

Mint mix (RE) (7.5/10)
Not exactly my kind of thing, but it's good. Tastes like the generic chalky after dinner mints.

Eucalyptus with mint (RE) (9/10)
This is a VERY refreshing flavor. Not an all day vape for me, but it's really good. I like to drip it in the evening when sitting in front of the computer.

ChocoMint (WG) (10/10)
This is one of the best flavors I've ever had. It tastes *exactly* like junior mints. It has a very slight hint of tobacco that you don't really notice unless you vape it right after brushing your teeth / using mouthwash.

Desert Voyager (WG) (7.5/10)
Pretty good. The tobacco part is kind of subtle, masked by the honey. It actually tastes like a mix of honey and maple syrup. And some tobacco.

Black Cherry Tobacco (RE) (9.5/10)
Love this flavor. Tastes like sour maraschino cherries mixed with a bit of tobacco.

Hot Spices Tobacco (RE) (4/10)
Tastes like dry red wine with curry and tobacco. No thanks, but I'm sure some wine lovers might like it.

Orange Tobacco (RE) (5/10)
Not what I expected. Tastes like somewhat artificial orange zest with tobacco.

Nutty Princess (tobacco, RE) (6.5/10)
Not what I'm looking for, but it's still a decent flavor. Very almondy, kind of sweet. Think almond baking extract with tobacco. And some other, nondescript random stuff.

Morning Rain (tobacco, RE) (7.5/10)
Very subtle flavor. Somewhat sweet. It's minty, but it's not. You can't really taste the menthol / mint (?), but you do get the menthol-type cooling sensation when you inhale. This should work great if you want a subtle tobacco flavor base to mix with your other mints / menthols.

Old Havana (tobacco, WG) (8.5/10)
This flavor is kind of strong at 2 drops / 5 ml. It's supposed to taste like tobacco with a bit of coffee and smoked plums. I can't taste any coffee in this, but it's a really good flavor nonetheless. It reminds me of cigarillos for some reason. The smoked plum (prune?) flavor isn't very sharp, but it feels very authentic. It tastes kind of smoky, in a good way. Kind of like the smoky flavor you get on the barbeque. There is a nice fruity/floral undertone.

Gipsy King (tobacco, WG) (5/10)
The description says that it's a tobacco/fruit flavor. And it is. But the tobacco part reminded of some of the cheapest cigs I've ever smoked in my life, which were nasty, and the most prominent fruit flavor was that of an old apple.

Gold Ducat (tobacco, RE) (8/10)
I can't really taste any tobacco in this, but I was pleasantly surprised when I started vaping it. It tastes like coffee cake (it's actually sorta like cheesecake with coffee). There's also a hint of coconut. It's delicious! If it weren't for the fact that I can't taste any tobacco, I'd give it a 9. Why 9, you ask? It's delicious, after all! Well, apparently the vapor you exhale smells like a nasty hangover breath :( I immediately vaped a different juice to see if it was me or the flavor, but my friend confirmed it was Gold Ducat. Interestingly, this is the *only* coffee flavor I like out of the ones I've tried so far.

Thanks for your reply, chrismp.

I called Customs last week to inquire about import fees. I was told that I had the right to order anything I wanted, but I know that's not right - ppl have to pay customs fees when the $ value is high enough to tax. When I brought up customs fees, he then transferred me to another department, and the man in the dept was was talking so fast - like a canned speech - that I couldn't understand what he was talking about. I'll just call SCORE and ask them - they usually have the right answers.

Yeah I'd recommend giving them a ring just to be sure!

But from this - US Customs Import Duty

It seems like you only have to pay import taxes if your intention if to bring items into the US to sell. If you're just bringing the stuff in for your own personal use I don't think there's a problem :)

Correct, my mother is a us customs supervisor and import specialist

Did some Inawera tests the other day. Decided to use drip measurements because I was feeling a bit lazy at the time :)

2ml PG and 2ml VG + 5 drops of pineapple out of the inawera bottle - I agree with the OP...very good real tasting fresh pineapple flavour. Best pineapple I've tried so far. Started with 4 drops as suggested, was a little weak...I might try 6 drops but it's damn good as is. I put some capellas chocolate mint in the atty afterwards and I was surprised that it went with the pineapple really well, will have to try out a choc/mint/pineapple at some point.

Have got mocha, wild strawberry, banana and caramel mixed up and ready to try out a bit later on.

ChocoMint (WG) (10/10)

I just made some batches of juice with Inawera flavors. These included Banana, Pineapple and Madagascar Vanilly, all of which were pretty good but are in the steeping cabinet.

However, the Mocca and Chocomint were spectacular! The Mocca is the best coffee flavor I've had (not a big fan of coffee flavors) but the Chocomint was exactly as the fugitive described... A Junior Mint! No sweetener or anything else necessary. Some of the best juice I have ever had.

FYI... This has a great throat hit!

They used to make their juices using FA but for whatever reasons FA wont be supplying them anymore. I received E mail from Inawera asking if I could test for them some of the flavours they are developing now (did not mention who their new supplier is). So I suppose that OP reviews are not valid anymore unless you get some old stocks.

I don't want to be a pessimist, but don't hold your breath on this. Inawera was supposed to send me some Tobacco flavors to test for them, and asked me for my address of where to send them. That was a good six months ago, and I've never received anything from them. YMMV, though. Perhaps the shipping was too much for them to handle, lol.

They stocked FA but I believe made their own line of flavours? Could be wrong, but their flavours tasted different to flavourart.

The apple flavouring from FA is less potent compared to the WG apple from Inawera...not sure how this works if they were just using FA flavouring.

Where did you get that info electrotimba?
 
They wrote me March 15
"Flavourart Italy stopped selling to Inawera their flavours for e-cigarettes from the end of February.
Regarding the above mentioned, at the moment we are starting in cooperation with tino d'milano laboratories to produce the first 4 aromas: Camtel, 7 Leaves, Maxxblend, Desert Ship Blend.
Therefore, we are looking for several testers to give a try to the new e-flavours.
The testers must be well experienced to use e-flavours.
Each future tester must present a documentary confirmation of purchase of Flavourart flavours (his surname and order number with Flavourart).
In the opinion of the lab scientists the new samples are more concentrated and strong in comparison to Flavourart aromas.
They keep working on the new e-flavours.

Irek."
I wrote them back with details, ready to help testing, never received anything, don't really care
