Hi, this is going to be a long post. I've received nine new flavors from Polish Inawera, and made some reviews. Dunno if every one of them will be sold, but yeah, here are my thoughts about one of them, Passion Fruit. Lemme know if u would like to read about eight more, if not here, you could do it here - www.epallenie.blogspot.com where some of my reviews are en English, too. Have you tried Inawera's flavors? What do you think?
Flavour: Passion Flower
(Brief) description of the mix/taste’s impressions: Good passion flower, lil bit similar to dragonfruit by TPA, fruity with a bit of milkiness. It kind of tastes like a flower, really. Some exotic plant with sweet-fruity flavor, with an aftertaste that reminds me kinda milkshake.
Someone pointed out (good point sir, thank you) that the score below is hard to understand, so let me explain: Point a) describes how realistic the flavor is in comparison to the real deal. In some cases, like this, I don't know how passion flower really tastes, so it's based on weather it feels real or rather artificial.
Point b) simply describes if the flavor is weak or intense. Point c) shows if it tastes good for me or not and point d) shows how much I liked it - enough to use it frequently, or not.
Sorry for creating chaos here. I'm just starting.
Points of flavour’s quality:
a) Reflection of a flavour in the mix (0-4 points)
(0-weak/neutral/mistake, 1-passable, 2-good, 3-exemplary, 4-perfect) Points: 3
b) Intensity of a flavour (0-2 points) (0-weak, 1-average, 2-high) Points: 2
c) Flavour’s composition/basically the flavour is…(0-3 points) (0-neutral, 1-ordinary, 2-good, 3-excellent/yummy) Points: 2,5
d) I add to the favourites (0-3 points) (0-no, 1-as occasional, 2- as a constant „break”, 3-to all day vape) Points: 2,5
General mark: 10/12 (total points a+b+c+d)
In summary, I think that it's a lil bit too flowery, but I'll try a lower concentration (this was 5%/10 ml of base)
This review is incredibly hard to understand. The one sentence description of it helps but the rest of the review is nonsensical.
It would really help if you expanded on it a little bit before going straight to a number scale that is very convoluted.
sorry, I tried to make it better. Did it work? Thanks for the feedback :)
I by no means meant to shoot you down here. I, and many more, appreciate you taking the time to write a review for a flavor. It's this kind of info that helps all of us get better at mixing and really master the flavorings.
The review itself is hard to understand with the rating system you implemented. Along with not having some info on the percentages used or dilution percentages/ratios you mixed this flavoring in. A text based description is a lot easier and more useful for the majority of users on this sub. See this recent review by a veteran to see what I'm talking about.
Any new tobaccos in there?
I'm still pretty confused, even with the edit.
"adding to favorites" doesn't seem like a very good metric because every flavor has it's own place in recipes but I wouldn't want to add menthol to a whole lot of other flavors.
and the points system for A doesn't make any sense at all. what do passable, good, exemplary and perfect actually mean? it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, for the most part. it helps to remove yourself from the equation and just talk about the flavor. taste is subjective.
That's not the kinda things we need and definitely not what I want. An arbitrary points system with next to no explanation is meaningless.
take a look at concreteriver's reviews for a good idea of what does actually help.
- Your testing setup - your wattage, your ohms, type of cotton, atomizer.
- percentages used - (5% here)
- flavor description - how it tastes on inhale and exhale, how it feels. product description. try a paragraph or more.
- off-notes - It says passion fruit but it's milky?
- throat hit - does it make you cough? Does it make your throat tickle?
- uses and pairings - the most important part. Where do you see this fitting in with other flavors and how would you use it in a recipe?
- personal testing notes
- second opinions - not necessary here since the flavors are new.
