I think it makes perfect sense. Flavors aren't always what they seem, by good/bad pairings you can bring out the best or worst in certain flavors & sometimes create all new flavors of their own. Sometimes it's balancing the actual flavors, sometimes it's about balancing other aspects, such as sweet with bitter. It may sound a little off, but that's exactly how beer works. Beer without hops wouldn't be very good at all - a sickly sweet mess. And hops without beer... well that's just something you do to the new guy. :D It's brutal, trust me.

I think that a dry, bitter coffee could stand a chance to be balanced out with a sweet, rich butter. That's kind of what I'm trying with the vanilla - it's not really about adding a vanilla flavor to the coffee, but to find a balancing point. Another analogy, a dry baked potato & butter. I wouldn't want to eat the dry bitter potato alone, nor the sweet butter, but together...

Crap. I'm getting hungry.

I think I might have already said this, but I wasn't crazy about the Virgin Vapor Kona Coffee Milkshake that a lot of people love. Even after about 8 months of steeping, it didn't impress me. It wasn't as gross as when I first opened it, but it wasn't all that great, either. I'm going to try their regular coffee flavors, soon (I think there's an Espresso and Turkish something).

I didn't care for it either. A good coffee is hard to find.

I think my next try with a coffee will be to add a little whipped cream flavor or marshmallow. Or maybe even a butter flavor. Something to cut the fruitiness a bit. Maybe I'm the only one who tastes it??? :unsure:

I get that same taste with venders coffee flavors. It seems just a little bit off. I have tried coffee flavors mixed with whipped cream. I DIY and can't seem to produce a great coffee flavor myself either. What I do do is make up a separate bottle of whipped cream and mix just a little bit of it to my coffee flavors right in my tank and it smoothes out that harsh black coffee flavor and adds a bit of sweetness. Just be careful how much whipped cream is added because to much can make it super sweet and nasty.

Anyone try the 925 from Good Life? I just ordered that as part of a sample pack. Hope its good. I like coffee but I haven't tried many good coffee flavored vapes. I've tried one from HHV and the Kona Velvet Milkshake and both didn't really do it for me. I typically drink my coffee with sugar and either no cream or just a touch of cream.

Let us know. I've already got a rather daunting list, but I'd be happy to tack it on if you think it's worth a go. I've found HHV has some good flavors, but the Java Smooth just isn't one of them. It's just a boozy amaretto bomb. The Mocha Java Smooth is pretty good, but needs at least a couple weeks of steeping. It's a dry chocolate flavor with next to no coffee in it - sort of like the chocolate you'd get in a good mocha, but without the coffee. I enjoy it because it's not too sweet, but I personally wouldn't call it a coffee flavor what so ever.

A thread after my own heart.
VV Turkish coffee, yuck. My own home DIY coffee, bleh. I've even had Brasiliero, which is crazy expensive and not available stateside, vaguely coffee like with butter undertones.
One thing I've noticed about coffee liquids, they seem to have a short shelf life. I think the flavor molecules of coffee breaks down or something, (something like I don't really know what I'm talking about science-wise).
I admit to skipping many pages in between here because the thread is long. Have Ahlusion coffees been discussed? That is the one vendor I actually considered ordering premade liquid from because they make all their flavorings in house.
I have started thinking that maybe if you find you actually like for a week, then a small bottle of it, vaped at maybe a lower temperature than other liquids might be a success. The key may be to use it up quickly once it's opened and starts oxidizing.
Someone should make a list from the info here, it's a good thread.

I haven't tried Ahlusions coffee's but I hear they are great. If you go to the big Ahlusion thread, I am sure someone can help you find what your after.

They've been brought up once or twice. I've been using this thread as an excuse to do a blog about different flavors, mostly focusing on finding a good coffee. I'm finding that the better ones need some steeping time which makes it a slow going process. Every time I'm ready to make an order, I run through this thread & grab a few different suggestions. I've got a few steeping away at the moment & I've been taking some notes - I should have another post out fairly soon. My next order is Copper Creek, if I can ever get an order in with them. I don't understand why they don't allow weekend orders though; seems rather ridiculous for a website. I fully understand they want their weekends to themselves, but why can't they just pick up the weekend orders on Monday morning & process them accordingly?

I have been trying to find a coffee with cream that I like as well as I do Ms.T's, Ahlusion's coffee's are pretty good but I am going to retry them after a little steeping. Kickbass vapor's coffee is really good, tastes like actual coffee, I would not recommend adding extra flavor, that makes it too strong. I am going to order theirs again but ask in the notes for more "cream" in mine. I have tried about 10 other places and it is really hard to find a good coffee.

I loved the smell of Coffee Addict...it was sooo close to coffee. The taste? Meh. Same with the Virgin Vapor Organic Turkish Coffee. It all has a fruity exhale. I'd be happy if all I had to do was inhale, lol. I think that coffee alone just doesn't make a good juice. I've found that mixing it with something usually brings the coffee out a bit better.

I think my next try with a coffee will be to add a little whipped cream flavor or marshmallow. Or maybe even a butter flavor. Something to cut the fruitiness a bit. Maybe I'm the only one who tastes it??? :unsure:

Coffee does seem really hard to get "right." I have quite a few bottles of coffee liquid that are just meh but not necessarily off-putting. I have been mixing them with Banana Pudding from The Plume Room and the end result is delicious! I would not have guessed that banana and coffee would go so well together. I am not a flavored coffee drinker. I agree that marshmallow might work well as a coffee mixer, too. I got a bottle from The Vapor Room to mix with tobaccos, so I am going to give it a try.

I haven't tried anything since the failings of Flavorz by Joe -Cup of Joe.

That one really made me mad.

Also, the Mr. E Liquid one people rave about, I don't like.

They all seem to taste the same...

The Plume Room is my last desperate attempt at a good coffee vape. Will order a couple today.

If you don't like MEL Jamocha Haze, I doubt you will like the VCF from TPR.
