Liquid madness and the quest for coffee

Man.

I am still on the search for the perfect all-day vape. I'm having a hell of a time. I can't do the sweets all day--although some of them, like Vapor Bomb's green apple, which smells and tastes EXACTLY like Jolly Ranchers, are very delicious. The problem with those is that I can only take a couple of hits, and then I'm done. They literally make my teeth hurt.

I veered toward tobacco flavors for a while, but even some of those were too sweet for me, with that unpleasant (for me) pipe tobacco flavor lingering longer than I'd like. I am a very, very big fan of coffee, so I started on a search for a yummy, not-sweet coffee flavor. I drink coffee with cream only, so I was looking for something like that: full-bodied coffee with a creamy element. The first coffee I got was Ms. T's coffee with cream, and it helped me to discover that most coffee flavors straight out of the mailbox have a very alcohol-y zip to them, so they need ample time to steep. Ms. T's is still the best-tasting coffee that I've tried, but the flavor is inconsistent and wicking is weird depending on whether I'm using an 808 carto, 510 atty/cart, CE2, or 510 carto. Frustration.

I've tried coffee, cappuccino, or espresso flavors from Vapor Bomb, Vapor 4 Life, Ms. T's, Backwoods Brew, VapoRenu, Liberty Flights, and Liquid Xpress. Nothing is really doing it for me, know what I mean? I've got new flavors coming from BWB and VapeRite, so I haven't given up hope yet. I have read through every coffee liquid review I could find on ECF. If I EVER find that perfect coffee vape, even my buddy Evilcute in Australia will hear my whoop of triumph.

I'm also always open to other non-sweet flavors--ginseng and green-tea types sound like they would be awesome, but in reality they carry a really "dusty" throat-hit that is pretty unpleasant. I do have a couple of bottles of these flavors that I've put away for a while, so I may give them another shot and see if they've changed on the steep.

I like the tobacco flavors, and Tasty Vapor's tobacco is my favorite for diluting some of the sweet flavors or too-sweet coffee liquids, even though on its own it's a bit sweet. I like V4L's pre-filled 555, RY4, Hilton, Dunhall, and Kamel cartos, but I had to drop my nic level because I was overdoing the vaping and getting the shakes (whoops). I vape for the same reasons that I smoked: the taste (I know, it seems real stoopid now) and the nicotine. So I tend to hit my PV all day long, especially since I can vape at work with nothing but encouragement from the co-workers. The tobacco flavors don't quite taste the same with the lower nic level, which is a shame, and I haven't found a tobacco flavor to refill with that I really like. I have new tobacco flavors coming, too, so fingers crossed, again.

Is there anyone else who is having problems finding a delicious non-sweet flavor? There's something really special about being able to take a long hit and then go "mmmmmmmmmmmm" with a satisfied smile on your face, isn't there? I've taken a couple of those hits, but I want more.

Anyone want to make recommendations?

I ordered small samples from Velvet Vapors. I'm hooked. My first order was Ginger, Fuego, Chocolate Cheesecake, Cola, Citrus Blend. They are all good, but the freebie they sent, Bear Claw, was my favorite. It's light, airy, not too sweet, but you definitely get the pastry in the flavor. My second order was samples of Cinnamon Sugar, Chocolate Mint, Spiced Rum, Raspberry Gingerale, Gingerbread and 30ml of Bear Claw. This time the freebie was Snickerdoodle. I haven't tried all of the second set yet, I'm letting them sit another week, but I can say that their flavors don't hit you over the head like some vendors I've tried. I really like the fact that they have tiny sample sizes to try things out, and the freebie definitely is a plus. For $12 you can order five 3ml bottles, and get a free 6ml sample. If their coffee flavors are anything like the flavors I've tried, you might be able to find a winner.

THE SEARCH IS OVER! Finally, a non sweet, non creamy, coffee flavor that does NOT taste like wet dog. I DEFINITELY will order more.
 
The Coffee from MadVapes is great...it's my new go-to. Just going to take forever to use up everything else I've got!
 
Thanks, JupiterV--I haven't tried out MadVapes yet, so I will check them out. I am really liking the Liberty Flights coffee, which I didn't expect. It's kind of becoming my go-to!
