Strawberry Shisha

[Ohio Points]

I've posted this recipe before, but made a few small tweaks to it (...and they closed the old thread).

Anyway, I was never a huge fan of Capelas Sweet Strawberry ( heresy I know ;() and had been on a search until I found Flavor West's Strawberry, I also upped the Absinthe a bit and switched to TFA's which I think is a warmer and more authentic Absinthe.

This could easily be an ADV and I'm sure you could switch out the fruit to make other flavors....I'm making a green apple one next.

Strawberry Shisha
10% Strawberry, Flavor West'
3% Absinthe, TFA
1% Shisha, vaping Zone


I did try this with about 5% Bavarian Cream in one of my concoctions and while it wasn't bad it took away from the Shisha of it, if that makes sense.

old recipe:
Strawberry Shisha:

10% Capellas Sweet Strawberry
2% Flavor West Absinthe
1% Vaping Zone Shisha

I know basically what shisha is but I'm not sure what the "flavor" would be as translated by a flavoring. Does it add a smoky-ness?

from the other thread

Shisha is just tobacco that you put into a hookah, which is a middle-eastern style .... so to speak. The tobacco is usually extremely moist (coated in syrup, usually flavored syrup) so that it smokes slowly. You fill up a container with the tobacco, cover it in tin foil, poke holes in the tin foil, and lay a hot coal over the foil. When you draw, you're slow-burning the tobacco and the smoke moves through water before entering your mouth/lungs. It usually produces an incredible amount of smoke and comes in a lotttttt of different flavors.

"shisha, is a syrupy tobacco mix containing molasses and vegetable glycerol which is smoked in a hookah.'
Often infused with fruit juices....

The vape juice, is very different tasting from other tobacco vapes. it almost has a smoky charcoal taste to it that sounds unpleasant but works well with the fruit flavors.

I really have no earthly idea what shisha is, or what it tastes like, but I use the Inawera shisha strawberry for my strawberry and cream, because it's the sweetest, most lifelike strawberry I've found.

Inawera Shisha Strawberry 16%
TFA DX Bavarian Cream 6%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 4.5%
CAP Sweet Cream 2%
TFA Sweetener 2%

It is SCRUMPTIOUS -- really IN YOUR FACE strawberry flavor. Yes, the percentages are high; that's called "high flavor mix" so you don't need to steep it -- for more info about high-flavor-mixing, see the TFA thread.

The two Inawera shishas I tired were very good, but not really sure why they call them shishas, they
just don't have any associated flavor to the actual tobacco.

I agree, I don't taste anything like tobacco -- although someone said it tasted too much like "shisha" to him. It tastes like sweet strawberries to me!

I'm liking the sound of this Inawera Shisha, I think I'm going to have to place another order! (Oh my woman is going to be so happy with me!)
