Wild wild strawberry

[ttatlanta]

Need advice on how to replicate the taste of wild strawberries AKA Fragaria.

Fragaria viridis to be exact, but any fragaria will do

PS: European and Russian e-liquid vendors make very convincing fragaria e-liquids (calling them "strawberry" for some reason), which means that the appropriate flavoring exists somewhere.

Have you tried INW Shisha Strawberry yet? (Polish flavors are pretty dang good IMO)
HS Strawberry?
Flavors Express Strawberry (from ECX)?
RF Strawberry Extract?

Flavors from Russia, "Bakers Flavors" (German site)

There's a INW Wild Strawberry flavor that seems to have love/hate reviews. Because I like Shisha Strawberry and the hate reviews, I haven't bought it. I'm thinking a blend of strawberry flavors (including the Wild) might be what you are looking for.

Shisha Strawberry is horrible to me.

It's on my my shopping list (which BCF keeps resetting, dammit!), I'll definitely try it. No high hopes though, as it is, well… shisha.

Thanks for the links and a bunch of unfamiliar brands!

So far all INW flavors to me tasted like something you'd get with a flavored tea bags. However, if there's something explicitly named "wild strawberry", it's worth a try, thanks!

Because you've expecting strawberry, but it's a strawberry hookah

What does Strawberry Hookah taste like?

Because if it's supposed to be tobacco I certainly don't get any tobacco taste with Shisha Strawberry.
Thinking they just wanted it to have a unique name.
Much like their Strawberry Kiss, which I think is nasty BTW.

Could be why so many like mixing several Strawberries together.

What does Strawberry Hookah taste like?

Haven't tried the INW flavoring yet, but I do have plenty of experience with real hookahs.

First off, vast majority of shisha "tobacco" sold in Europe (don't know anything about US hookah market) has nothing to do with tobacco, despite the fact that tin says otherwise. It's a filler made of shredded beet roots, grape leaves and other non-tobacco plants. Real tobacco leaves are added sometimes to get the nicotine content, but in very small quantities. If it's a "tobacco" flavored "tobacco", they just use the same flavors that us vapers do. Technically, hookahs are closer to vaping than most people realize: "tobacco" is used only as a wick, which is heated by external source (coals) to produce vapors from what? That's right, glycerin based syrup. So what does "shisha something" tastes like? Molasses is probably the main note, maybe with a little bit of smoky coconut undertone. I'm strictly guessing here

Inw strawberry shisha has absolutely no tobacco flavor. Not sure why they call it shisha.

It does not apparently need tobacco to be shisha.

For example...

Shisha existed for many hundreds if not thousands of years before the discovery of America (and tobacco).

Funny why I've always thought of it as being tobacco related, go figure.

I tell you about Strawberry Falls. You can try this. They have added some vanilla or cream to churn things up.
