Coffee flavor?

[djbishybish]

That's exactly what I did and I love it. I used LA's Bavarian Cream because I like the taste better, which one did you use?

TPA's. I haven't tried LA's...but I use BC in a lot of my recipes.

The Bluemist Bavarian Cream is the best I ever had..

Ok...want to hear my bonehead moment for today? I made a nice size batch of this today and only realized after tasting the results that I used my nic instead of my pg! Used 50 ml and only got about 25 ml back. Dang it! I sure hope it's good.

I do that on purpose

Love this thread... As I type I'm filtering the extract. This technique opens a tremendous amount of extracts which can be made. I thought of blueberry (using dried bluberries) or cocoa (let me know if any of you have done this). I'll report back on how the expermint goes

Cocoa and cinnamon have been done/discussed in this forum. You may want to reconsider fruits if you're at all concerned with oils (atty/cartos/lungs)...if not, go for it

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not too concerned as there are volatile oils in almost everything that you can smell. Hey your dog looks like a mini one of my dog. Very cool

I learned this from a friend: Fill 1/2 of a 30 ml bottle of ground coffee. I used Cuban coffee because it's really strong.. Then top it off with PG and microwave for 10 seconds. (no longer). The Pg will absorb the coffee. Then top off again with pg, then place bottle in a hot water bath for 20 minutes. Strain mixture with a coffee filter. I used a funnel, and cut the filter to fit.

I used 3% coffee, 1% Bavarian Cream and 1% Caramel and It was the best Coffee liquid I ever had.

Hi Jimi.D,

I know I am kind of late to respond but as I am just going into trying DIY i wanted to make sure I do it correct.

Above you mention how to make the coffee extract but after doing this it will be used as a flavor, like the ones you can buy to add when you make your own e-liquid, correct? I mean the extract you have made from the ground coffee isn't used straight up like that correct?

Have you made the above mentioned coffee extract and vaped it without nicotine in it and if yes was it good.

Thanks for the response and sorry for the probably stupid questions

 

[GoodDog]

Yes, you use it just like you would use any flavoring by adding it to PG, VG and nicotine (if you want nic). There shouldn't be much difference if you don't want nicotine in your juice with this method or any of the other flavorings. The only thing that can be missing is TH but some flavorings have a strong TH on their own.

Thanks GoodDog. Without the nicotine, there would also be more flavor. If you want a stronger th, there's this stuff by flavourart called Flash. http://www.ecigexpress.com/flavoring-flavourart-condensed-c-16_29/flash-e-liquid-p-610

Thanks Gooddog and Jumi D,

I really appreciate your responses. So which e-juice calculator do you use or don't you use this at all?
If I would make my juices myself I should be fine with 6 30ml glass dropper bottles?

 

[GoodDog]

You don't want to start out making 30mL of juice until you know what you like and what %s to use. It's recommended to start out making 3ml batches until you tweak it the way you want. So I would suggest you pick up some 3mL bottles and maybe even some 5 or 10mL ones.

There are quite a few good calculators out there. I seldom use them but when I do I use these. DIY E-Liquid (E-Juice) Mixing Station!

I use the e juice me up calculator. Just like GoodDog says. Start small, and your'e welcome...

Thank you soo much Gooddog for the advice. I will try to get some glass bottles though instead of plastic.
You people are the best.

There are never enough 3ml bottles around when you're experimenting! It takes a couple days to soak old flavors out of them enough to re-use, and I've used a lot of them to store single flavors I've diluted down to usable strength for blending because it was too hard to try for amounts like 1/2 drop in a 3 ml batch of strong things. I just ordered more.

BTW home brew coffee extract does seem to help with getting old flavors out. When I soak the bottles & parts in water used to wash the coffee juice out, and add lemon juice to that, the old smells seem to fade a lot faster.

PGA cleans bottles best for me.

 

[dirtmonkey]

I usually use alcohol as a final rinse, but need to get a bigger amount for soaking to try that.

Oh another thing I was going to say about coffee extract... PG probably preserves it well, and I used 50/50 PG and VG, but just to be sure I also added 20% ETOH (PGA, generic Everclear) after the extraction was done. Sometimes molds really get to me so it seemed like a good idea. It hasn't affected the flavor or anything else that I've noticed; it ends up being very little after blending it up into juice.

Hey Jimi, have you tried the FA Flash? A while back I almost ordered some of it but came to the conclusion that it is a ready to vape base. I might re-think ordering some if it is concentrated for diy use.

 

[GoodDog]

I read somewhere that citric acid is good for removing smells in bottles and is also good for cleaning attys. Add some to the water in an ultrasonic cleaner and throw in the atties. It's suppose to lift all the dried juice on the coils. I wonder if lemon juice would do the same thing with atties??
