Inawera dilemma

In essence, a molasses based tobacco; most often a fruity concoction. I used to love going to hookah bars (a little under the influence of whatever) and spending the night in a reclined position puffing on a hookah. Super relaxing!

I just made daath’s prickly pear water and it’s good ! After so many attempts I am glad to have at least one solid recipe to make w/ it. Even if it ain’t my own !

Im about to try it! I just realized I actually have 2 passion fruits?? haha I don’t remember ordering these but anyways I have tpa’s and FW…I’m leaning towards TPA’s but I have yet to use them and besides FW/MBV watermelon(which I HATE) I just got in TFA’s watermelon to try, have you used this as well? I haven’t had much luck on watermelons thus far and dont wanna over do it - Suggestions @daath?

In my (limited) experience, TPA watermelon needs a long steep or it tastes like old watermelon chewing gum. I have Lorann watermelon and Cap sweet watermelon as well. I haven’t used the Lorann much yet and Cap’s is…interesting. Not really sure how to describe it but it doesn’t scream watermelon to me. My 2c fwiw. :wink:

Thats unfortunate :frowning: It seems like watermelon is a hard one for people and I’m kinda surprised with the amount of ā€œbadā€ ones out there, for being such a basic, simple flavor…
The recipe calls for 2% FA watermelon, which is good since it is so low…do you recommend keeping it at 2% in comparing TFA to FA…but it doesn’t seem you have used FA?
I have yet to try TFA and was hoping I finally found a decent watermelon…sigh

Uh, not too sure. I’d probably start with 5% Watermelon (TPA) - maybe even 4% and adjust to taste. The watermelon is not very powerful in my recipe, but it’s definitely there - of course you can adjust to taste, if you like the watermelon aspect :smile:

Flavour Art is strong stuff, compared to TPA.

From what I’ve heard around these parts, Nicotine Labs has the best watermelon and honeydew. I haven’t used FA, sorry.

Ok…I think I may try it at 3% actually, taste, adjust up if need be. I just can’t stand that artificial, candy like taste I have been getting with my other w.melons and I don’t want to ruin your recipe
When I have used my other watermelons even at 2% they were too much for me! I had that issue with peach flavors too, until I found INW,White,Yellow…

Hmmm…I’ve actually never even heard of this company for flavors? Haha how is that even possible with all the years of DIY’n

(slowly backs away ashamed)

I’ve never researched or heard much talk about Nicotine Labs either! Their prices are quite good! Wonder if any one on ELR tried their flavors?

There’s a new vendor I didn’t know about??? DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!

Nicotine labs is the former vapor shots then was flavor envy and well nicotine labs.

@ringling and I both adore their watermelon and their honey dew melon.

Their prices aren’t too good for bulk. You will hear Ringling talk about that , that’s for sure. It ticks him off big time.

The other flavors I like of theirs are strawberry lemon ry4 . Ringling says they have the best mocha around. Sorry to get off topic being this is the inawera thread.

I used cappuccino tobacco INW tonight first time in a long while. It was on Dap’s recipe of " holy cannoli " the name struck me so I whipped it up.

Oh and watermelon TFA has a decent scent but fails to deliver a true watermelon it seems more rind like to me w/ chemical taste ( not to crack ) it was my first watermelon then moved on. I really enjoy colorless LA watermelon too and often pair it w/ FA’s.

Thanks Amy! Well shit…looks like Im on the hunt for yet another watermelon, which is too bad because I bought 4oz based on a recommendation…which so goes against my being when I always by an 8ml tester first…
Well the good thing for that guy is he will now be the biggest guy on the island of misfit flavors! Shit, they may even crown him king!

You can always bring down the % and pair it with whichever one you buy next so you don’t have to waste it. TFA scent wise isn’t bad just get one you like the taste of.

True…I believe the only one I havent tried is FA and this nicotine labs…it may be a while before I make another purchase, since I’m set on flavors at the moment (never said that before)

I love watermelon. I have everybody’s as well ( the typical vendors anyhow) and the nicotine labs is the best of them. I tend to keep it and not use it as much Bc of your same dilemma I don’t want the hassle of buying 2 flavors from them.
