RTA/ Kayfun 5

% Used/ 2.5

Coil/ Single W/ 30

Steep Time/1 week Wicking/ Full

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

Mouth Feel - Zero throat hit. Smooth through the nose and lungs. Relatively creamy with a tinge of vanilla and something else I can't place my fingers on

Flavor Properties- This is an odd flavoring that a lot of people have been trying to comprehend. FA's abstract descriptions does little to help us understand it. After a bit of digging, it's supposed to replicate a form of candy which is popular in Italy.

I can't tell you what it is but I can describe the taste. I get a weak vanilla (not subdued by any means, but intentionally weak) and a tinge of citrus tartness, perhaps even a small bit of spiciness.

Relatable Flavors - Reminds me a lot of FA Marshmallow, with Marshmallow being more neutral and this one leaning towards the tart side of things.

Off Flavors - No off flavors to discern unless your palette just has problems with this flavor.

Position In The Recipe - This is almost certainly an accent flavor. It has little to no place being a base.

Pairings - Now this is where Oba Oba shines. It goes incredibly well with tobaccos. If you like tropical fruits, add a bit of oba oba and it will brighten up your mix and add a creamier mouth feel. Last but not least, this is the secret weapon used in a lot of yogurts. It really does help kick up the tartness and forms a sort of silkiness even.

End notes - If you like tobaccos/fruits/yogurts, get oba oba and sub your marshmallows and EM for it the next time. I recommend starting at 1% and slowly working your way up to where you see fit.

It added an underlying silkiness to yogurts and makes them really authentic tasting

Oh my lord I wonder if this could be the missing ingredient to a mango lassi I've been working on for some time. I still haven't experimented with all of the yogurts I've got, but this sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. Can't wait to check it out. Thanks for the review and your suggestions.

Yeah, I could totally see it working in a lassi-type recipe.

Seems like it would work well in that Monster Melons clone that's all around the internet subbing the EM
