INW Shisha Strawberry

##INW Shisha Strawberry##

Summary
My favorite strawberry at this point in time. It's like a mix of an artificial sweet strawberry, a natural strawberry, and has a sort of creamy or smooth texture to it. I remember hearing before purchasing this flavoring that it was the best strawberry out there, and that it's the only one you need; I disagree that it's the only one you need. It is great by itself as a strawberry, but I feel it benefits a lot from a slight strawberry ripe accent (depending on the recipe of course). It is weak for an INW flavoring, but falls in line with the same kind of potency as a lot of other flavoring companies such as TFA & CAP.

On the Nose
A sweet strawberry with a slight ripe tone

Recommended Usage
Stand alone: 5%

In a mix: 1-4%

Throat
Mild

Pairings
Creams, other strawberries, vanilla, marshmallow, cream cheese

Avoid
Coffee, dark sweetness (i.e. butterscotch/caramel)

Steep
2 days

Simple Recipe: Shisha Strawberry Cream
Ratio: 15PG/85VG Steep: 2 days

  • INW Shisha Strawberry @ 4%
  • INW Shisha Vanilla @ 3%

I mixed this up on a whim just because they were my two favorite ingredients at the time, and wanted to see how a "Mustard Milk" play on them would work. While not as successful as Mustard Milk, it is an enjoyable vape and really lets these two shisha flavorings shine, and gives you a great idea of what both of them bring to the table.

Complex Recipe: Sweet Strawberry Cream
Ratio: 15PG/85VG Steep: 3+ days

  • TFA Strawberry Ripe @ 3%
  • FA Red Touch @ 0.5%
  • INW Shisha Strawberry @ 2%
  • TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream @ 3%
  • INW Shisha Vanilla @ 1%
  • LA Cream Cheese Icing @ 1%
  • FLV Cream @ 1%

While INW Shisha Strawberry is the star here, you can see how the TFA Strawberry Ripe & FA Red Touch accent the INW to provide a ripe sweetness, and a touch more authenticity to the strawberry to really round out that strawberry profile.

This is my new favorite strawberry-and your %s are around what I use...I'm finding it to be kind of a 'pop-tart' type strawberry...really useful!

I almost did a review on this one, but I had just reviewed FA Red Touch, and couldn't distinguish a whole lot of difference other than FA Red Touch having a smoother almost velvety mouth feel and a very subtle candy nuance. I do think INW Shisha Strawberry is slightly more authentic, but I don't think substituting either/or would make or break a recipe.

Shisha seems to be far more potent, Red touch can easily get lost in a mix. I agree on the velvety feel for Red touch, Shisha is almost a creamy feel. Both together make for a decent start to a strawberry starburst recipe. Red Touch being more juicy.

That Sweet Strawberry Cream is great, I can't wait for FLV's Cream, right now I used Vanilla Custard because why not? I might try some creams from FA but it's the best Strawberries and Cream I have ever tried. The Strawberries and Cream Cheese Icing really make a good base to play with creams afterwards.

Yeah lol that CCI is gold here. Very good point, I used the VCv1 a lot in previous iterations too, as well as other creams, so it definitely works.

I recently pulled out a 10ml bottle and went through it almost in a week. I'm definitely ordering bigger next time.

An older thread, but I just mixed up a test batch of this. 5% 80/20 mix at 4.5 nic. 37.5W on a twisted 26g coil at .6 ohm.

This is a great flavor. To me, it tastes like the strawberry jam in the middle of a Krispy Kreme donut. Its very smooth and sweet. I think this flavor is best suited to go into strong bakery recipes. I don't think it has that authentic fresh strawberry flavor like a CAP sweet strawberry/ TFA strawberry (ripe) combo does. Good none-the-less.
