I am totally in love with the FA caramel capp!! I've been vaping it in this same carto for over 2 weeks now (carto will be a month old saturday) and it's still going strong! Instead of vanilla swirl, I added a few drops of FA sweet cream (ONE drop of the caramel capp) in a 7ml bottle. no sweetener. It's like a creamy caramel coffee. I love it! I'm thrilled to find something that has an awesome flavor and doesn't gunk up or clog a carto. I started this 1.7 ccv resurrector using unflavored and ended up adding a couple drops of flavor here and there... now I've settled on using just the caramel capp mix in it. This carto hasn't ever been cleaned, it's still pouring out great flavor and vapor :D

I just bottled up about 25ml of Caramel Toffee coffee extracted this morning.
It was easy using the tips & tricks posted here. Thanks again.

I have not mixed any juice with it yet, but will report back when I do.
It smells wonderful. Hope it taste as good...and will be as good on cartos as others have reported on theirs.

I made this last night but it is STRONG. First I tried it at 7% first and it's way too strong, tried at 1 drop per ml of liquid and it's still a bit strong. After steeping overnight it's a bit better but I may dilute it some more. What is good to use as a sweetener - sorry, noob question...

I used my regular coffee for this and I used the directions posted above but used PG/VG mix and made it in a pint jar so I have a LOT of this. Flavoured coffee grounds have never been my cup of tea (HAH) but maybe I will try some to make this.

It sounds like a very good extraction. What Coffee did you use? You could sweeten it with Caramel, Cotton Candy (ethyl maltol), Bavarian Cream etc..

I use a store brand coffee (Superstore / RCW), it is actually one of the better tasting coffees I've found and it's usually a few bucks cheaper than the name brands.

I put some bavarian cream, sweet cream and hazlenut praline which I can smell after I exhale but the coffee flavour in the draw and mouth is just just a little too overpowering.

It's a possibility that the coffee could contain additives or artificial flavors. Maybe try another coffee, or add more of the other flavors.. I'm baffled.

try diluting it some more. Next time you could start on the lower end and work your way up.

Ok. I got hooked on this thread.. then stepped away... I'm trying to make a juice that is close to VB's coffee. It's not working. I have a question.

My wife drinks, and loves, good 'ol foldgers coffee everyday. She's willing to try it if I can get close to that. But, I'm not sure... If I extract using foldgers grinds... will it taste similar??? Or is the flavor weaker when you extract it and I need to start with a stronger coffee to get what she needs?

how about i send you some coffee extracts i made and you can test out the flavors first? just pm me your addy and i will have them in the mail on tuesday(bottles dont come in until monday)...they all smell just like the actual flavor as far as taste.

I picked up some Folgers Hazelenut coffee and tried that and while it is better, it is still weird. It's like a burnt coffee ground taste. I'll let them steep for a day or two and see if they get any better... for that matter, the second weaker batch did taste a little better today.

While I was buying the coffee I found myself wondering if this extract could be done with tea as well. I new I had some good tea flavours at home but looked around for anything interesting. The only one I thought may be interesting was Tetley Peppermint, which is pure peppermint leaves. I made an extraction pretty much like the directions for the coffee (I tore the bags open and emptied them out into the bottle), made some juice and added 3 drops per ml of double chocolate and I have a very nice 'After Eight' vape. Alone, the peppermint is a little too much like burning vegetable matter but the chocolate makes it nice.

I may have to rescind my comments about the peppermint tea extract, After sitting for the day it tastes more like burning/steaming vegetable leaves again. It might be possible to make something of it as a side note or something but I picked up a Lorann's mint pack today and that is definitely much better.

The coffee brew is tasting better again today, I'll experiment some more with concentrations and added flavours to see what I can come up with.
