Trying to find a coffee flavor that doesn't taste like tar

I am on a personal quest to create or find a good coffee vape. I have Vaped countless juices that were sub par at best, but usually it’s just horrid.

I am new to DIY, have a novice idea on what I’m doing.

I recently purchased the following coffee flavors:
Cap- cup of joe
TFA- coffee
TFA- cappuccino
TFA- espresso

I mixed all the flavoring’s at 15ml of 5% 80/20 3mg
My set up is a M17 DNA 200, goon rda with duel alien wire reading at .50 at 75 watts

TFA-coffee-- my god this taste like burning tires, horrible taste I can’t see how this can be coffee

TFA-cappuccino-- still taste burning tires, not as horrible as the coffee since it’s probably mixed with a creamer. But still tastes nothing like a coffee

Cap-cup of Joe-- so far this is the best (still no where near good) has a slight burning tire taste but it’s almost mute. So far the only one with some sort of hope yet still doesn’t taste like coffee

TFA-espresso-- same level as cap cup of joe but has a chemical taste, but very fragrant. Still I’m not tasting anything the resembles a coffee type flavor.

Every test was with new cotton bacon, Vaped about 4-5ml’s of each to break in the cotton.

My question to the community is: does anybody know of a coffee flavor that actually tastes like coffee? Does it exist?

I tried putting some of these flavors even as low as .5% in some e-liquids and its a juice killer. The only other thing I can think of doing is using say the 15ml 5% as a flavor itself to add some juice( even doing this I would still avoid TFA coffee)

All input would be helpful

Anybody have any experience with using coffee grinds in PG as a flavor? I heard somewhere that was a thing.

Try vaping it at lower watts and higher ohms. I know chocolate tastes horribly burned at higher watts, maybe the same goes for coffee?

I love my coffee vaporz… you may want to try FA, Inawera, and FLV’s Coffees. These 3 are all better than the ones you have listed, IMHO. My favorite coffee flavoring so far, has been a combination of my own (DIY) and and the FLV Coffee.

We all enjoy the drink differently, as taste is subjective, so you will have to play around to find your fav too. :slight_smile:

Josephine’s suggestion is also a good one. I normally vape the coffees at lower temperature than others, for best flavor.

Read the DIY Coffee flavoring notes… http://e-liquid-recipes.com/flavor/5536

More info on DIY’g your own coffee flavoring is here: Ground coffee steeped in propylene glycol?

I see people suggesting FA Tiramisu a lot when it comes to coffee flavours - supposedly a strong coffee flavour with cream and chocolate notes (much like the dessert).

Although, if you’re looking for a more bitter/black coffee, I would give FA Coffee Espresso or INW Coffee a try. Be aware though that INW Coffee is almost black and it will absolutely trash your coils, whereas FA Coffee Espresso is a light brown. That said though, both resemble a strong black coffee quite well.

FA Dark Bean (Coffee Espresso) is one of the best coffee flavors IMO, but very strong so use sparingly. I also like Liquid Barn’s cappuccino but it takes at least a month for it to be vapable. Flavorah’s coffee and mocha are both good but again very strong and take some time. Good luck. This is something I’ve been chasing for awhile. I get frustrated and give up, and then I miss coffee vapes so I try again. :stuck_out_tongue:

@Oldmeat123 does a Coffee DIY from grounds maybe he still has his recipe !
I 2nd @JoJo that FA Dark Bean is probably going to be the best on the market for a dark espresso. I also really like Kona Coffee by Flavor Express available at http://www.ecigexpress.com/kona-coffee-flavor-1oz/reviews
