I grabbed some tiramisu on my last order to mess around with coffee, but it looks as though I may need to wait and get some dark bean and Mexican liquor, any other suggestions?

Nah, there are lots of good things you can do with tiramisu without other coffee like flavors. Easy does it, 2% is on the brinks of too much with that flavor. Itās one of my favorites.

Anyone play with Kona Coffee flavor? Personally, the volcanic-rich-soil flavor built into Kona gives it such an awesome, unique, delicious flavor. Iād love to make a vape with that flavor and add some malted milk/cream and/or vanilla/chocolate. But, like others mentioning this feat(coffee recipes in general), it seems quite daunting.

Am I the only one who canāt stand the Dark Bean (Cofee Expresso) flavor from FA? It tastes like dry burn bakery/cofee with tons of acetyl pyrazine even at 0.5%?

Well @Quakas, weāre about to find out. I just got some of this the last shopping round. Tonight, before I read this, I mixed up a few different recipes containing the dark bean. Iāll chime back in on this thread once the mixes steep for a bit. Thereās tobacco in the mix as well, so that means at least 2 weeks steep time; perhaps more. I love espresso, so Iām hoping these mixes turn out swell. Let you know!

I just got some Dark bean from FA but I havenāt tried it in a recipe yet. I had such high hopes. Youāre killin mah dreams @Quakas! Lol. Kidding. Tis the way of the coffee flavor, Iām afraid. Weāll see how it goes.

I used the FA Dark Bean Espresso in a recipe about 3 weeks ago at 1%. It was overpowering after mixing
and again after 1 week steep. Havenāt checked it in awhile, but I will try to remember to when I get home today.

Oh, dear! Well, the recipes Iāve used it with, have 1.5 to 2 %. Hereās hoping that the other flavors in the mix and steep time quell the dark bean beast!

Taste is subjective, I did try some of HICās recipes with FA espresso but all Iāve got was this overpowering burned bread/corn taste. I have to change cotton and wash the atty every time I use it. But then Iāve found others who just love this flavor, the best rated recipe with espresso in ELR uses 10%??? so @Jimk donāt worry this could be just me, and no, thereās nothing wrong with my espresso bottle is well within expire date and I buy directly from flavourart.it

Yup! Youāre right there. I know there are some public recipes of mine that, when mixed as posted by someone else, theyāre going to say āoh my god thatās strong!!!ā. Well, I like strong mixes, always have. No worries on my end with the dark bean.
For the record, I am trying to lower the flavor percentages in my mixes these days, just to see if I get the same satisfaction. Iāve been fairly heavy handed with the flavorings in the past. I look at some mixers flavoring percentages and wonder to myself, how in the world can that little of a flavoring percentage be enjoyable??? But, as you stated, itās all subjective; to each his/her own.

I just checked my recipe and realized that I followed the lead of Lars with his http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/112441/Smooth+Morning+Kick so I only used dark bean at .5% .

Itās been awhile since I put in any comments here and wanted to update being I actually have a little time today. Some of you may have gotten TFAs Mexican Liqueur after reading the posts here. After experimenting with it awhile I have found that absolute max percentage should be no more than 1%. If you like curling the hair on your toes then go stronger. I also have found that it mixes well with TFAs Milk Chocolate, Caramels, Malted Milk, Kahlua & Cream, and others. Hereās a recipe to try if you likeā¦
MAX VG, or not
CARAMEL CANDY (FW) 10%
Coconut (FW) 2%
Malted Milk (TFA) 2%
Mexican liqueur (TFA) 1%
Milk Chocolate (TPA) 6%
We think itās tasty, hope you do tooā¦

If you like a Kahlua taste at all, you wonāt have buyers remorse with this flavor! Iām in the process of a mix with FA Dark Bean, caramel, Mexican liqueur and of course tobacco. I figure, with 4 of my favorite flavors, how could I go wrong!

Ooh thatās a good idea. I never thought about using Carmel candy in a coffee flavor. I had picked it up and couldnāt think of what to make with it after it showed up lol. I was really liking Night Shift for a coffee flavor. I might try adding a little Carmel to it. Thanks.
