I was looking for their Regular Grapefruit but all BCF had was White Grapefruit, not a fan of it. Giving FW Ruby Red Grapefruit a try, I just got it in.
I wasnt a big fan of PUR, they had a couple that interested me in the early beta testing but a lot of the stuff i tested was attempts at recreating already established flavorings. There are a handful that i would purchase if they were available anywhere else.
OoO oft gets a bad rap but they have 5googol flavorings which is part of the problem, that website… Hehe. I havent bought any of there stuff in a long while, might be time to revisit them.
Did you get to try Watermelon (Amoretti)? If their potency was a bit/lot higher id have quite a few of their flavorings on my shelf.
80ml of Italian Cream should last you quite a long while, its pretty potent. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on HVan, glad you were able to get some.

I remember looking through the Amoretti site when there was a 17% discount code available but never ended up pulling the trigger. Very little information was available. Are you saying that they are too strong? Did you attempt a dillution? Which ones (Amoretti) have you tried? Thank you in advance…

I have only tried it with the original ingredients. Unfortunately Bialy Grapefruit is the white grapefruit, that you are not keen on. But one of the subs you have, may work if you decide to try it?

Nope, i made a boo boo. I will correct that. 
Speculoos Cookie
Natural Birthday Cake
Watermellon
Elderflower
Elderberry Sambuca Type
Sweet Potato
Red Licorice
Coffee Clear
And probably a few more that i will remember as soon as i hit “Save Edit”.
Their biggest flaws are price and potency. Of the flavors i listed Coffee is about the only one that i wouldnt purchase if they were available in MUCH smaller and less expensive sizes.

Ok. Here’s my update on the following:
I called (instead of emailed) today and spoke with Penny (thank you @mixologist13!) who said that everything is bottled to order, and went to check, said there was no separation evident, and no reason to think of to explain it being weak.
She said the boss was out at lunch, and asked if it would be OK to return my call, I of course said yes.
An hour and a half rolls by, and the phone rings.
Seems they dug further into the situation, and even contacted Inawera directly. At which point they replied/forwarded the info on to me stating that “the recommended usage for this flavor is 5%”.
She also stated that they’re going to have to update the website to reflect the change as well.
I mentioned being aware of the mass reformulations going on currently at Ina, and asked if by chance this was one of those flavors. To which she was uncertain.
If this change in usage becomes a habit (or frequent occurrence) at Inawera, they risk losing a LOT of sales unless they amend their price point. If I have to use 5%,it’s no longer the value that it was previously IMO.
They (VapersTek) did not offer to replace nor exchange the flavor for another, which is unfortunate. But Penny was friendly, polite, and professional. I’m guessing that due to the order having been placed during a 30% off sale could be affecting things as well.
But, even in light of the updated information (5%), and lack of having that info accurately displayed (website had outdated info), I can’t help but feel a bit let down. Partly by VapersTek, but even more so by Inawera.
A sad day.
PS: to anyone who tries to search products by name on their site (good luck) it was recommended to use the actual product number (if you have it).

Wow that’s disappointing. Sounds like it’s one of the reformulations if they’re certain that you got the correct flavor, because I guarantee 5% would be WAAAAY too much of the stuff I have ( which was purchased probably 9-10 months ago).

Inawera is one of the top brands because of how concentrated it is, I hope this isn’t a new thing for all flavors by them…

Has anyone here tried lime wedge flv? It might be what you are looking for as a replacement for inawera lime. It’s super strong. I’d suggest starting out at 1 drop per 10ml. It’s a very good authentic lime flavor. I personally never cared for FA lime Tahiti. I felt like that flavor gave me half of a headache!

Me too! Yummy!!! Although to be fair I need to try the FLV Rum Raisin I just got in first 
I have been wanting to try a few of the OOO and German Flavors also. I’ve never bitten as they all seem to have to be ordered separately and involve extra shipping. And the Caramel Butter and 2 pies from Wonder Flavours.
Euroflavors Kiwi 
Just no, unless you like tropical perfume.
The Virgin Colada I’m still undecided on. It tastes like the Pina Colada Mixer that you buy already made in the bottle.So an artifical colada rather than a fresh, but I kinda like it too. Hmmmm, still undecided…lol

Have you tried both the Lime Wedge and the original Lime by FLV? I would imagine the lime wedge has more of an organic feel to it rather than just the juice.
I just pulled out both flavors to try and give you a comparison of both. The lime flavor reminds me of lemon lime cap or tfa. It has almost that 7up lime flavor to it. Lime wedge is more like I took an actual lime and cut it into pieces. It reminds me of waiting on tables 15 years ago and cutting up a lime to stick a wedge on a margarita glass that had salt put around the glass. I just mixed up a strawberry margarita juice yesterday with this flavor. I’m still playing around with it but I think it’s a great start. Hope that helps.

What does everyone think about Chef’s Flavors? I forgot about them…
EDIT: Just realized they are in the UK, are there any US suppliers?
OSDIY carries some of them. Not a lot.

Are German Flavors available in the UK anywhere?
Not that I’m aware of. Might be worth checking the shipping costs to order direct from them.
Two weeks later and they finally made it here. I find the packaging odd to say the least. Gonna mix up solo flavors here shortly.
