Today I mixed a TFA "CAFE" since I had it sitting around for a while but needed added flavour

(Edit: I am in Spain so I assume the "CAFE" is their generic "Coffee", so no Kona or whatever, just "coffee")

46ml CAFE e-liquid 7mg NIC

For 46ml CAFE e-liquid (46ml since this matches the 50ml "HangSen" bottles I have a ton of minus some headroom for shaking)

9ml 36mg NIC BASE, PG or VG
32ml PG or VG base
5ml flavour (which comes to about 11%)
- 2.5ml TFA CAFE
- 2.5ml TFA DX Bavarian Cream
5 drops Ethyl Malthol

This is a very quick and dirty recipe which I really just randomly made, not so much an actual, refined recipe but more a "test", an impression of the TFA CAFE flavour.

The TFA Cafe comes as a deep, dark liquid which looks and smells exactly like an ultra strong coffee. I like coffee with cream and sugar and never really liked black coffee, so I used half of the flavour (2.5ml) CAFE and the other 2.5ml Bavarian Cream and 5 drops of Ethyl Malthol.

I didn't even steep, it may well be possible that the flavour changes a lot in a week or so.

Impression: This is definitely a genuine COFFEE taste which immediately transfers you mentally to a starbucks :) However I am not sure about the percentages, I might possibly like the flavour sweeter than what I made it, but it's definitely "ok".

It's a "dark" slightly "smokey" vape which is a welcome change to the DRY4 I usually vape. Not bad AT ALL if you love coffee, not bad at all. It tastes very natural to me and doesn't have "chemical" notes like some of the earlier DIY attempts when I made liquids.
