I'm going to keep reposting this set of flavors as I buy more that fall into this category and test them. This will prevent people from having to scroll back through the whole thread to find them:
These are additive flavorings that are often used to mix with other flavors. I tested them at approximately 20% in pure PG on my tongue:
TFA Caramel Cappuccino - very strong, burnt coffee note, bitter, fake tasting, requires <1%
NF Kona Cream - pretty decent authentic, medium kona taste with mild fake creamy finish
FA Coffee Espresso - same creamy texture as NF Kona Cream, medium coffee note, coffee mouthfeel
TFA Mocha - mild mocha, authentic
TFA Double Chocolate (Clear) - milky dark chocolate with a sharp semi-sweet bite
TFA Milk Chocolate - mild milk chocolate, not very creamy, a sharp chocolate note to it
HS Chocolate Caramel - both the caramel and the chocolate taste fake and do not meld well together :-(
TFA Tiramisu - authentic, strong
FA Vanilla Classic - fake-ish vanilla, but not too bad, mild
TFA Cinnamon - very strong, cinnamon oil tasting, strong aroma
TFA Raisin - I'm not sure I'm tasting this right, it has an almost licorice taste to it, would add a nice dark note to tobaccos
TFA Brown Sugar Extra - authentic, strong, perfect
TFA Cheesecake (Graham Cracker) - rich, semi-authentic, graham cracker note
Graham Cracker (Clear) - nutty note, semi-authentic, mouthfeel, cheesecake with graham cracker has a more authentic graham cracker note to it
FA Oakwood - great flavor that would compliment tobaccos, dark fruits, and alcoholic beverage type vapes[/QUOTE]
Sweet Woodruff - This flavor is described as a European herb and it smells exactly like the musk candy vial I got - heavy perfume. But, when you add it to PG and tongue taste test it, it has mellow, earthy herbal quality to it that is hard to decipher over the perfume note. I can see this going well with teas maybe, or with a cookie (INA Biscuit comes to mind) but I'm not sure what else.

I am going to keep reposting this set of flavors when I get more in and test them to make it easier to find.
I tongue tasted the following flavors to see what recipes they would go in. The concentration was approximately 20% mixed with PG.
Alcohol Flavors:
Kentucky Bourbon - TFA authentic, medium strength, slight caramel note
Vanilla Bourbon - TFA stronger bourbon taste than the Kentucky Bourbon, medicinal vanilla *this is dark colored and I think wingsfan0310 mentioned in another thread that this flavor is a coil killer
Brandy - TFA authentic, clean, medium strength *also cararmel colored
Rum - FE authentic, clean, well-done, medium strength
Almond Amaretto - TFA this flavor is much better than the alcohol/liquor equivalent, Disaronno, because the almond taste is very authentic and the amaretto flavor is separate and light - you can taste each individual flavor as opposed to a melded nut distilled alcohol
Nutty Amaretto - LA This is exactly like the liquor equivalent, authentic, strong
Irish Cream - TFA very well done, authentic, medium strength, not overpowering

This is a repost with new flavors added - in this post I'm going to taste test all the Inawera flavors I got in the mail today and keep them together as I get more. These are tasted on my tongue at approximately 20% with pure PG.

I am done with the last 2 and will let them steep longer to see they develop complexity or improve in taste.
The first 3 I am adding 2 drops/5ml or 6 drops/15ml sample total and will retest in a few days.
*TA's cause a cloudiness in the liquid before heat steeping. No nicotine has been added at this point, nor DW/Vinegar/EM/Saline.

I am going to bump up these flavors by 1% more, except Guava and Boysenberry, and the Lychee TFA which is done at this point. I really want to like this Boysenberry, but it is heavy perfumey.
The Lychee FA and Lychee TFA are very similar now, with only a slight floral note in the FA flavor that will likely steep/breathe off. I think the TFA tastes cleaner though, sharper.

I am going to add 1.8% nicotine to each 15ml sample and allow them to steep for about 2 weeks. After the 2 week period, I will separate each sample into 3 5ml test vials to try 1) Vinegar 2) a fruit/alcohol (whisky/bourbon) 3) the Inawera DNB drops. I want to see the impact each of these have on the original tobacco base.

Lychee - FA 6% I steeped with the cap off the bottle and the perfume note is still noticeable and now dominates the flavor. I am giving up on this flavor. The floral notes are too strong to salvage for me.

Cucumber - CAP 7% taste did not improve at 1 more % (from 6% to 7%) and a floral note developed. I am going to call this flavor good up to 6%.

The cinnamon flavor from TFA is the Cinnamon Flavor Concentrate. The Graham Cracker (Clear) is also a TFA flavoring. I should have been more specific. I got both of these at Wizard Labs.
Thanks for reading this thread - I'm glad you get something out of it.

Fig is the only flavor that needs additional flavoring. I think the other flavors are at their peak concentrations.

I am mixing 1/3 of the test batch bottle of the Inawera Cherry (CZERESNIE) with half the bottle of the TFA Lychee to test these in combination.
I am mixing 1/3 of the Inawera Cherry (CZERESNIE) with 2/3 of the Hangsen Plum to test these in combination
I am mixing 1/3 of the Hangsen Plum with 3mls of the steeping batch of Inawera Dark Fire tobacco.

I am going to keep reposting this set of flavors when I get more in and test them to make it easier to find.
I tongue tasted the following flavors to see what recipes they would go in. The concentration was approximately 20% mixed with PG.
Alcohol Flavors:
Kentucky Bourbon - TFA authentic, medium strength, slight caramel note
Vanilla Bourbon - TFA stronger bourbon taste than the Kentucky Bourbon, medicinal vanilla *this is dark colored and I think wingsfan0310 mentioned in another thread that this flavor is a coil killer
Brandy - TFA authentic, clean, medium strength *also cararmel colored
Orange Brandy - LA orange is authentic, brandy is the aftertaste *clear in color, but contains sweet almond oil
Rum - FE authentic, clean, well-done, medium strength
Almond Amaretto - TFA this flavor is much better than the alcohol/liquor equivalent, Disaronno, because the almond taste is very authentic and the amaretto flavor is separate and light - you can taste each individual flavor as opposed to a melded nut distilled alcohol
Nutty Amaretto - LA This is exactly like the liquor equivalent, authentic, strong
Irish Cream - TFA very well done, authentic, medium strength, not overpowering
Whisky - e-aromat/INA authentic, oak aged undertones, strong flavor
Vanilly Bourbon - (tino d'milano/INA) authentic vanilla, but with an almost toasted coconut note, more toasted tasting than regular coconut flavor; bourbon is smooth and in the background
Sparkling Wine - e-aromat/INA bathroom scent undertone in taste (tastes like a sanitized public restroom smells); after first impression, resembles white grape juice with seltzer effect. I think this could be a better flavor for mixing than the FA White Grape
Kalua and Cream - TFA authentic, mouthfeel, fairly strong *contains caramel coloring - very dark *PG based

I'm going to keep reposting this set of flavors as I buy more that fall into this category and test them. This will prevent people from having to scroll back through the whole thread to find them:
These are additive flavorings that are often used to mix with other flavors. I tested them at approximately 20% in pure PG on my tongue:
TFA Caramel Cappuccino - Very strong, burnt coffee note, bitter, fake tasting, requires <1%
NF Kona Cream - Pretty decent authentic, medium kona taste with mild fake creamy finish
FA Coffee Espresso - Same creamy texture as NF Kona Cream, medium coffee note, coffee mouthfeel
TFA Mocha - Mild mocha, authentic
TFA Double Chocolate (Clear) - Milky dark chocolate with a sharp semi-sweet bite
TFA Milk Chocolate - Mild milk chocolate, not very creamy, a sharp chocolate note to it
HS Chocolate Caramel - Both the caramel and the chocolate taste fake and do not meld well together :-(
TFA Tiramisu - Authentic, strong
FA Vanilla Classic - Fake-ish vanilla, but not too bad, mild
TFA Cinnamon - very Strong, cinnamon oil tasting, strong aroma
TFA Raisin - I'm not sure I'm tasting this right, it has an almost licorice taste to it, would add a nice dark note to tobaccos
TFA Brown Sugar Extra - Authentic, strong, perfect
TFA Cheesecake (Graham Cracker) - Rich, semi-authentic, graham cracker note
Graham Cracker (Clear) - Nutty note, semi-authentic, mouthfeel, cheesecake with graham cracker has a more authentic graham cracker note to it
FA Oakwood - Great flavor that would compliment tobaccos, dark fruits, and alcoholic beverage type vapes[/QUOTE]
Hickory Smoke TFA - Very strong, perfect smoke flavor - tastes like BBQ without the sauce *very dark in color
Sweet Woodruff TFA - This flavor is described as a European herb and it smells exactly like the musk candy vial I got - heavy perfume. But, when you add it to PG and tongue taste test it, it has mellow, earthy herbal quality to it that is hard to decipher over the perfume note. I can see this going well with teas maybe, or with a cookie (INA Biscuit comes to mind) but I'm not sure what else.
Marzipan FA - Tastes better than Nugat from Inawera, more authentic, heavy alcohol note
Cardamom FA - Authentic, very strong
10% Vanillin in PG TFA - Authentic vanilla, medium strength
Toasted Marshmallow TFA - Strong alcohol note, light flavor, nice toasted flavor
English Toffee TFA - Semi-authentic, strong nutty note
New York Style Cheesecake LA - Authentic NY cheesecake with baked top layer, heavy alcohol note
Dulce De Leche TFA - Semi-authentic, mouthfeel, medium strength
