I love good coffee flavor juices and here's a recipe I mixed up that I'm really liking. It's not completely original as I've picked up bits & pieces from reading posts by other folks on the forum. I read a post by a member about how much he liked FlavourArt Espresso and Fresh Cream so decided to give it a try. I agree, it's about the best coffee flavoring I've found and the Fresh Cream blends well. I also picked up tips from others about the saline, distilled water & PGA and I think these ingredients have improved my mixes. My mix is all VG except for the PG base of the flavors, saline, DW & PGA. According to my calculator it comes out to about 70% VG +/-. Anyhow, give it a try if you like coffee juices. I like it a lot but it's still a work in progress and I'm open to suggestions. Enjoy!!!

Espresso (FA) 2%
Fresh Cream (FA) 4%
Caramel Candy (TFA) 5%
Distilled Water (9%)
PGA 2%
.9% Saline Solution 9%

FA Espresso and Fresh Cream are the best coffee and cream combination I've ever used. I think it makes better cappuccino than FA's actual Cappuccino flavoring. I add various combinations of (usually FA) caramel, cinnamon, various nuts, various vanillas...or chocolate/cocoa to make mocha, sometimes peppermint, sometimes a hint of raspberry or orange. FA's Irish Cream ends up in a lot of mine.

I'm currently vaping some Cinnamon Ceylon cappuccino that I put too much cinnamon in. :facepalm: Your caramel capp sounds especially appealing to me right now.

HeadInClouds, you may have been the one who wrote the posts I read about FA Expresso & Fresh Cream. I wanted to give credit to the person who steered me in this direction but couldn't remember where I read the post. If you are the one then thanks very much. I've also picked up a lot of tips from the posts by we2rcool, buffaloguy & dannyv45. I've been vaping for several years but just took up diy in the past couple of months. I'm grateful to the folks on this forum that share their experiences.

Hi wllmc and all. I really like the caramel flavor with the FA Espresso & Fresh Cream. I used TFA Caramel Candy just because that happened to be the only caramel flavor I had at the time. I'm mixing up another batch today and plan to add 4% Caps Vanilla Custard. I saw a post you made in another thread where you were using Vanilla Custard and thought I'd give it a try. With the Espresso & Fresh Cream as a base there's so many possibilities to experiment with. I did manage to eventually screw up my first mix though hahaha. I really like intense flavors and have a tendency to go overboard with them. I kept adding a little of this & that (Dulce De Leche, Bavarian Cream, Sweet Cream, Brown Sugar) until I had an over flavored mess. As I've read on this forum so many times "more is often less" but I'm hard headed and had to prove it to myself.

Interesting about adding CAP custard...I have 'coffee/cream' from Mom and Pop (premixed juice) and if I mix it with Custard's Last Stand (which folks believe is mostly Cap custard) it tastes to me just like Dunkin Donuts extra/extra, my usual coffee! I haven't been working DIY coffee yet, too much else on the list above it, but I bet that will be a nice mix, let us know! :)

My favorite coffee: (The following is a compilation of stuff I learned right here on this DIY forum. Nothing in this post is my original work. It is all "borrowed" from others.)

Take about a 30 mL bottle and fill it half full of ground coffee. I use the Keurig K cups so I emptied one of them into a larger beaker. The grounds filled it about halfway. Cover this with PG and heat in the microwave 20 seconds. Let stand about 15 minutes and add a little more PG to cover since the coffee is absorbing the PG. Again, 20 seconds in the microwave. Mixture should be too hot to touch - but not near boiling. Stir while hot. Let sit until nearly room temperature. 5 more seconds in the microwave and pour through a coffee filter into a clean container. Give this part some thought. This is a thick mess and all you want is the dark liquid. I used a small glass funnel and cut my filter to fit. Let drain until you drip out the most of the liquid. You'll never get it all...

You now have some of the best PG based coffee flavoring that I have ever vaped.

I mixed 10 mL 50/50-1.2% with 1.0 mL of this flavoring and 0.2 mL each of TFA Bavarian Cream and TFA Caramel. It was good the first day.

After about 6 hours at 150 degrees in my crockpot, many shakes, and cooling down, it quickly became one of my top vapes.

It still seems to get better each day.

I don't have any of the FA Cappuccino so wouldn't know. But I believe I read an earlier post by HeadInClouds where he preferred FA's Espresso & Fresh Cream over their Cappuccino. But if you have the Cappuccino already why not mix up a small batch. If it tastes good to you then that's all that matters.
Would it be ok to substitute FA Cappuccino for FA Espresso???

I haven't made Smitty's precise recipe, but you sure wouldn't get the same results with that substitution. FA's Cappuccino does not taste like Espresso + Fresh Cream. It's more bland, not as creamy, and a different coffee taste in it. By the time you sub Capp for Espresso and Cream, you're just adding Caramel to Capp, which isn't bad, but I'm sure Smitty's recipe tastes better.
