Amen to the first 2, the third one though, not so much. More like grandmas than sour. Edited by Hippo_Master

Tangiers Sour is a cranberry flavor, which is pretty sour. I intended for it to be a mixer, not a cranberry flavor. I recommend 25% sour, 75% other flavor. Go 50/50 for more sour. Tangiers Brambleberry is somewhat sour.

Sour flavors are hard to hit, most sour components won't vaporize for shit. Most of the sour stuff you can think of has either citric or malic acid in. Tartaric Acid is also sour, but more obnoxious. Citric and Malic acid decompose at hookah temperatures. Cranberry sour is good, but expensive as shit. Sour is one of the most expensive flavors I have. I assume since it is naturally derived, people buying cranberry juice and cranberries for Thanksgiving drive the price up.

Nah she doesn't make shishas but she does make hookah tobacco, and she adds a little special touch of 'Eau de Senilelady' . Tastes exactly like Af Esk., not surprisingly.

[/quote]

Really? the box i got was sort of sour, not terribly. Maybe it was a bad batch or something. I haven't had it in a year or so.

I love Tang Sour, it's an extremely subtle and intriguing flavor, but it's not often that I get an actually sour flavor out of it... but maybe I'm just doinitwrong. I have trouble conceptualizing a cloud that tastes sour...

I am working on some tart berry flavors currently, hopefully they will work out.

Most of your mainline sour components are thermally unstable, like Malic Acid (Uber sour candies are made with Malic Acid) and Citric Acid. Thats why sour flavors are so hard to find in sheesha.
