The Cheesiest, .....most "Love Boat" label.... IN VAPING^TM
Inawerawinkel's description:
New Sweet, fruity with complementary aromas of raspberry and peach with a slight addition of lime. Taste of summer full of delicious fruit flavors. The label "art" - PREPARE TO BE INSPIRED!!.
Specs:
- percentage used: 4%
- overnight steep
- PG/VG ratio: 50/50
- vaped on Nautilus mini
- 1.8 ohm coil
- 11.1 Watts
Flavour Properties:
- Tart
- Tangy
- slight "floral" topnote (which can be tamed)
Relatable Flavours:
- thin peach flavour,
- tart Inawera raspberry, way back in the mix,
- light touch of naturalistic lime.
- there's something of a Sharon Fruit "bite" about it.
Mouth Feel:
- Thin, tart.
- Mildly adstringent sensation.
- Moderately sweet.
Off Flavours:
- Floral top note might be scary for some.
- could probably get a bit chemically with too much over 4%.
- I personally find it a bit on the dry side, will try with Cactus / Dragonfruit
Position In A Recipe:
- this immediately comes across as mid to top kind of flavour, but I've found it to fill a main role too.
Suggested Percentage:
- 4, or less, to add character, or adstringency to fruits that are too "one dimensional" or candy-like
Pairings:
- Menthol
- Koolada
- WS-23
- Reinforcement for Peach, add depth to sweet Apricot, Plum
- add a tang to Raspberry/ Strawberry mixes
- give a tartness to fruit toppings on cakes, tarts, turnovers.
- add depth to teas, lemonades.
- Add bite to hard candies
Conclusion:
-
Interesting starting point for Sorbets, fruit, drinks, deserts.
-
also for those who want to like Juicy Peach, but can't.
-
Foresee myself mostly using this in the cold/fruity side of things,
-
as an antidote to the tobaccos I've been enjoying
-
Is this a keeper? for me yes, still playing with it, learning from the balance in the mix. In the same way that cloning a juice can be a good reverse-engineering exercise ;
Combinations such as these, teach us what can be achieved with just three concentrates.
I'll usually throw a few "wild card" flavours in the cart, when ordering from Inawera, rarely regret it.
I am curious to see what directions others take it to! *edited "for sanity" might add as I get to know it better.
