I've been watching out for atomiser problems related to JC, Frankie and nobody has reported any trouble with the latest batch.


I just checked my bottle (ordered 10/27/08, used 2 of 20 ml so far) , squeezed the rubber bulb, and a couple swirls of crap came up from the bottom. Apparently, sediment means it was old stock / last batch.

i'm sure the list can go on and on....but coffee?? everybody else has it!

they havn't coffe in PG either.

No, I meant everyone else has coffee - but they don't have it in VG. JC is the only one that makes a VG version of anything - so they need to add coffee. :)

Janty has a whole bunch of new flavors and I've been using one called Cappuccino all day. This is nice and smooth, better to me than the one called Coffee by Janty. I now have both. They're both PG-based, so if a greater taste treat is desired, add some Bickford Kahlua flavor. Wow.

Back when I still recognized their existence, I tried E-Cig coffee. No flavor at all. Flat as the company's customer service!

If I recall correctly, Freesmoke has an espresso flavor. Never tried their liquids.

do a search on espresso, i read a thread a couple of days ago that a specific brand with coffe flavor actually taste like espresso.

Nescafe put out a fake espresso thing. It's quite funny to see - what e-cigars are to cigars. It has some chemicals that makes a kind of froth that looks a bit like crema, and they put some coffee grinds in it so that you get a few grinds at the bottom of your cup. Still tastes like instant, though.

What happens if you mix a bit Nescafe with glycerin and alcohol? Kills atomizer? Might be interesting zero nic...

I mean the powder, not real coffee.

Instant coffee is just dehydrated coffee - it should be pretty similar to adding regular coffee except it is more concentrated.

People tend to think it tastes like dreck because they put boiling water in to dissolve it. If you screw with your espresso machine to make it put out boiling water from the grouphead (or fail to flush it on a heat exchange machine) it too tastes like dreck. (Lots of restaurants have waiters who fail to do the cooling flush.) Using water at a proper temperature instant coffee doesn't taste as bad: it's still not the same as proper coffee, but it's not undrinkably bitter.

I`m more a 5 - 6 shots espresso per cup person :thumb:

That's pretty nuts. Doesn't the espresso go bad while you're making three double shots? Or is this on a three group machine?

I think I would get into even more trouble if I bought a three group machine.. hehe a commercial grinder and single group commercial coffee machine already take up a third of the kitchen.

Lol no I go to a coffee shop most days.

I asked for extra shots because the coffee did not feel very strong to me.

Months later, a new start questioned my order twice, then informed me how many shots I was drinking and suggested it was unhealthy .

I Did not actually realise before that.

I have cut down to 1 extra shot from 2 but still occasionally go the whole hogg.

At home I use an ancient glass cona vacuum thing and it makes lovely coffee but a lot of cleaning and faffing about involved with it.

Am tempted to buy one of the Nespresso machines, but I think I will leave that one for the moment or I fear I will be in the shed for Christmas.

IMO these make the best coffee. But yeah - cleaning really is a pita. If they used them in a coffee shop, I think you'd be paying maybe $10-15 a coffee. I believe they are particularly popular in Japan.

.

I've got a Dolce Gusto machine at home which makes lovely coffee. The capsules for it are a bit expensive though, but a lovely cup of coffee quickly is great.

I can make coffee the way the Italians do at home though as I've got one of these: Bialetti Moka Express Espresso Maker, 3 Cup: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

With Lavazza coffee grounds that makes gorgeous coffee on the hob.
