I use the coffee flavor alot. I ended up making a bottle of 50% coffee 50% everclear so that one drop is only 50% of the Lorann's coffee flavor. It is just too strong for me straight. My liquids do not turn out terribly dark using the 50% mixture.

Personally, I don't like the Keoke flavor much. I make a mean Kalhua liquid myself using the coffee. I have used the keoke occasionally but it's not much to write home about.

You know - it might be my atomizer. I have four atomizers. Some are better than others. I finally got brave and tried the coffee on my best one - so far, so good.

I just got Lorann Coffee from an ebay seller a few weeks ago. Is it supposed to be dark as heck and also very think like a syrup? It killed an atty deader than a door nail.
I used 36mg flavorless cut to 12mg using VG and the coffee flavoring. Coffee flavoring was at 20% of mix. Very vile, I had to shake and shake the mix for it to properly mix.

I also got Koeke Coffee. It was dark also but not thick. Strong flavor and does not kill the atty. I do add a touch of Lorann caramel to the Koeke and it is yummy.

So is Coffee supposed to be thick?

Mine is dark as hell, and it scares me to use it. I did try it once, and when the atty got a little dry it got a serious burnt taste that just makes me think it was leaving deposits behind. I no longer use it.

Mine is not thick, though. Not even as thick as PG, I would say. If you describe it to be "like syrup" then I would toss it out.


The Keoke is delicious. One of my 3 favorite flavorings.

Scottes,
That is what I did. I tossed the coffee out. I guess I will have to find a different ebay seller to get the coffee flavor from as that ebay seller may have gotten a bad batch.

If you also have Lorann Caramel add a touch of that to the Keoke. Really blends well and sets it off. MMMmmm...

I do use Lorann Coffee and I LOVE the flavor too. I mix 20% Flavor, 35% VG and the rest PG. I do have both PG and VG base for my nic and make my adjustment. Somehow PG in the mix makes a difference. IMO

I find that the more VG I use the harder the atty works with the standard battery. It might be my mind playing tricks on me :-)

The Flavoring already has water in it and therefore produce less vapor if you thin it out with water, the more your atty will have to work. It taste different with different voltages. Vapes best when not using the standard battery. I use my 510 passthrough with a 10440 320mAh battery in it.

i read this thread and went and mixed some 0 nic coffee using the loranns i bought - hadn't tried it yet

i wanna say this stuff is THICK AND DARK

i decided to use an older atomizer since it might have damaged it

first i wanna say that when dripping on the bridge i noticed a slower absorbtion as well as color staining the bridge -this stuff is dark


i made a 3ml bottle with about 60%pg, 35% VG, and 5 drops of coffee flavor

and it still doesnt vape well

even at low content where im getting barely nay flavor... im about to sell this flavoring on the site lol - any bids?

thansk for the thread - im glad i didnt decide to gunk up a new atty by not testing it.

anyone successfully vaping this? i'm using a blu right now.

after vaping for a few minutes this is what ive found

- the atty only produces decent vapor once the liquid starts to thin or be burned more - this is where i usually get the burnt taste on this atty - however the coffee seems to have masked that and i cant even taste/smell the bruning -

can coffee lorann ressurect nasty atty's? time will tell! i'll use this 3ml all day today to see the result.

With LorAnn Coffee and 35% PG I would add quite a bit of distilled water or vodka to thin it.

But I had the same experience as you describe - tough vaping, burnt taste, and fear of destroying atomizers.

I won't throw it out - I can use this in some recipe, or even in a coffee milkshake. But I won't vape this stuff.


Now if I could get a bottle without the artificial coloring... THAT would be nice. Maybe we should ask them...?
