Flavour Review - INW Lemon Cake

submitted almost 10 years ago by RedDread1973

Ordered this because it was recommended to me by someone that works at the DIY shop I order from. (/u/FunkMast3r)

I will state that I am not a fan of lemon anything, in food or vaping. I don't hate it but it's not really my thing.

Smell - This smells exactly like a lemon pound cake. I mean exactly. Buttery, Lemony and cakey.

Taste - As a shake n vape it's unbelievable. Extremely complex. Layered with the same notes as what you smell. Butterry, Cakey, lemony goodness. This is not an overpowering Lemon/Pledge flavour. It's present but subtle on the exhale. The cake notes are there on both the inhale and the exhale but again not overpowering the lemon. The butter is present on the inhale but again very well balanced.

This is by far the best single flavour I have ever used. (I have about 200 flavours right now). I will be playing with adding other fruits to see how they mix with it as I can see the subtle citrus from the lemon helping brighten some difficult flavours like blueberry.

Now for the mix:

INW - Lemon Cake 3%
DW - 2% (Distilled Water)
3mg/Nic (100% VG)
95% VG

Wow! This is one that will be very versatile in the bakery mixes.

If anyone else has tried it feel free to chime in.

Have you ever tried FA's Pandoro?

If so, how does it compare?

I was wondering the same thing myself. Went ahead and ordered some cuz I'm a big fan of pandoro so we'll see how this compares. Reply or message me in about 2 weeks if no one else gives a comparison.

Are you using pandoro solo or adding something else? I couldn't get it working for me.

I haven't tried Pandoro so I can't comment.

Just got this in. Haven't had a chance to mix it yet, but it's much more authentic to a lemon pound came than Pandoro. It smells a little drier whereas pandoro is very moist. I'm gonna mix it solo at 3% and see how it goes. Might end up being perfect with a maybe .5% pandoro added.

Those new INW flavors seem promising... Too bad inaweraflavours.com doesn't stock them atm :\

Lemon Cake Concentrate. They take PayPal, shipping cost for smaller sized orders is around $5 and it takes about a week from Poland, all original packaging. At the top of the site you can switch to English and at the very bottom to US Dollars.

Thanks. They're actually cheaper than ordering directly from inawera.com, kinda odd.

A lot of manufacturers are like that. TFA is more expensive ($3.75/15ml) on most of their flavors directly also.

They want to support their distribution model, so they sell at a higher price to help drive people to the resellers. They want to primarily be in the wholesale market.

You won't be disappointed. You could actually use a little bit of additional lemon to boost it up for a true lemon pound cake taste but man it is a really, really nice mix. I'm going to try a lemon/blueberry pound cake on the weekend. I'll post my recipe once tested.

Mixed it today at 2.5%, single flavour.

Strangely reminds me of a cerial killa type recipe. The "cake" part is very similar to the yellow cake / meringue / FW hazelnut base, and the lemon makes it all the more "fruit-loopy". I'll report back after some steeping.

Too bad it's likely chock full of diacetyl. I wish Inawera would be as forthcoming with that info as FA is.

Yup, that's why it tastes sooooooo delicious :) I make the assumption that all flavours I have contain one of the "Nasty 3". As long as I'm not using the stinkies I'm good with it. To each there own.
