Inawera Lemon Mix

Apossium

Setup: Hobo 3.1, regular dual coil (0,4 mm wire, 8 wraps, 2,5 mm diameter) with cotton wicks, 32-37 watts.

Testing: INW Lemon Mix @ 2,5%, 65% VG, steeped 4 days.

Flavor description: Slightly sweetened freshly pressed lemon juice with a hint of grapefruit. Reminds me of the lemon juice you add to coke or water. Fresh, sour, very juicy, slightly bitter and a tad watery. Not sweet but not completely dry in sweetness.

Off flavors: Very harsh and bitter aftertaste when vaping with almost dried out wicks. No off flavors with wet wicks.

Throat hit: 4/10 moderate, rather smooth for a citrus flavoring.

Pairings: Drinks, fruits, candies and other citruses. Excellent lemon/grapefruit base for alcoholic beverages.

Notes: I was impressed with this one when I first tried it, one of the better citrus flavorings I've tried so far. It's fairly similar to FA Lemon Sicily, but lacks pithy note I get from it at over 0,5%, and doesn't have nearly as much of throat hit. Though I haven't messed with this flavoring much yet, mixing it with INW Lemon and a bit of sucralose gave me a promising start for a sour lemon candy recipe. Good mixing range would probably be at 0,5-1,5%; it's pretty strong stuff and likely overpowers more subtle notes in your mix.
