Rhubarb is killer strong and can annihilate a mix. My happy place is 0.2% and it works well.
Oh wow, Thank you! That stuff just whacked me in the head. I thought I was going to have to dump it
Have to agree with @ bluenose63 regarding the PP.
I also would love to find a red currant concentrate, searched everywhere I can to no avail?
Been playing around with Inaweras Donald Bubblegum and had mixed results so far!
Anyone had good success with it yet?
The redcurrant really rounds the blend of flavours off nicely in the Pink Panther concentrate. I often test new samples for Inawera, and haven’t seen a standalone redcurrant concentrate in the time I have being doing it. Must be keeping it under wraps…
Inawera have 15% off till 26th December using code XMAS if anyone wants to try PP or other flavours.
Which site? Link please. Thank you
Click the word Inawera (highlighted in blue) in my post, it will take you direct to their own site.
They have released the Sesame flavour now. It is named Sesame Sweets. I was really impressed with this flavour, when I tested it, works as a standalone, but the potential in Bakery flavours is where it should excel. imho
I hated Donald Bubblegum personally just tasted like the powder on the outside of gum but a bit chalky to me. The bubblegum in the yummy range is very good though
…We’ll just leave this here…
These flavours have been sent for review free of charge to me by Inawera. The opinions expressed are my own and the flavours may or may not be released for sale by Inawera in the future

Short description: Very dry Peach type flavour was the dominant taste in this mix for me, with citrus flavours in the background. At lower drops, felt there was a slightly creamy note to the finished flavour, which disappeared when mixed at anything over 20 drops.
Too dry for my own personal tastes and a bit of juciness (cactus) to the finished flavour, may have improved the finished liquid for my tastes?

Short description: Very strong taste and a heavy finished cream flavour with a vanilla taste to it, that benefits from a long steep. More of an ice cream type finished flavour, than a natural cream. Not really a standalone flavour for me

Short description: Sweet nutty taste, with a custard type flavour in the background? The nutty flavour due to sweetness, for me, means it isn’t recognisable as a peanut flavour as such. But more of a generic nut flavour.

Thank you for sharing these
Thank you, great notes! What is a Bio Base?
Inawera do a good selection their own Nicotine bases and the Bio Base is their VG version (AG really) as it has 10% Distilled water added.
Not conspicuous at all are you. Lol.

I recall reading some of Botboys notes on Reddit a while back when I first got interested in Inawera flavors. To the point notes; always liked that about him.
Nice post!
Thanks @JimK. This was posted earlier in one link. I just broke it down for easier access. I find myself referring to these notes more and more and they are very useful.
Yup. If it wasn’t for folks that are hard core flavor reviewers, lazy folks like me would be in the dark about what they might like to purchase to vape. I just don’t have the fortitude to review every flavor in my stash. : ( By nature, I’m not a list maker; force myself to do it half the time!
