Coffeeklatsch consensus

[Michael Friel]

I'm very interested in getting the best coffee flavored eliquid possible. I know that "taste is subjective" and all that jive, but at the same time, I'd love to get a thread started here for people to suggest or rate their opinions on comparisons of coffee flavors, be it coffee, espresso or latte, whatever. Consensus of opinion is often helpful to rate the value of a flavor regardless of the occasional outliers.
I myself have only tried VapeDudes "Mocha Java Drizzle". It was not bad, but I have no point of comparison, so is there anyone out there in ECF land who's a connoisseur and/or can weigh in? Even if you've only tried a couple different coffee flavors you could chime in here and tell us which one was the best of the two (or three or four?) Thank you in advance. Now go!

VapeDudes has the best coffee line i have found ,both non sweet ,middle sweet and very sweet .

vaperite's organic kona cream and bwb's espresso have been very popular over the past few years... I haven't cared for any others I have vaped

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

Vape dudes does have to steep tho ,that must be said .

My espresso is a mix of BWB espresso and Decadent Vapours Doppio Espresso - best steeped as well. I've tried about 50 different of coffee, espresso, capp flavors..... Some have a hint of coffee, many aren't close.

kent c... there you are... yeah, the decadent vapours stuff is amazing... didn't think it was available anymore... just through liberty flights or?

Michael... Kent's recs are worth your consideration... he's helped me find the good stuff over and over...

(Kent's appearance helped me remember another coffee I liked...) I should also add, I have enjoyed nHaler's Cappuccino. (octane line)

 

[Michael Friel]

Thanks Kent C. You said you use a mix of BWB espresso and Decadent Vapours Doppio Espresso. Curious why you chose to mix them? Or did you mean that they were your 2 top favorites that you alternate between?

Hey LT! Since TW dropped the DV line, I'm getting it directly from DV in UK - worth the shipping and I made a bulk buy recently. Liberty Flights added some DV flavorings recently - missing some 'important' ones - Ylang Ylang and Lotus Flower, can't recall if they have Doppio Espresso but I think they do, plus Habana Reserve... and many others.

Michael, The Doppio Espresso is quite strong - contains caffeine even So it helps shore up the BWB espresso. I used to drip it 2 drops BWB Esp. 2 drops Dop.Esp. and one drop of BWB Capp. Too much capp sweetens it too much for me. Since I went to tabac BCC tanks (like the Kanger T3 but better made, imho) I went to a 50:50 blend on the two espressos only. Sometimes I'll add some capp to the tank when refilling - a few drops which tends to make it a bit smoother but that's only 'on occasion'. Steeping is necessary for both E's. If you vape it without steeping, it tastes pretty close to paper But that blows off to where a good strong coffee toward actual espresso comes in. When dripping, I'd drip the night before and it was great! in the morning ....lol

This is DIY on the DV Doppio Espresso - standard 11mg formula and I use their AG (aqueous glycerin - VG:H2O) nic base and diluent/blend. And the doppio flavoring comes solidified so you have to warm it up some to dissolve but once in the mix it stays suspended so to speak. Pretty sure Liberty Flights have it as already premixed.....

E Liquid - Decadent Vapours - E Liquid - DV - Coffee

I've tried all the other coffee flavors on that page and the Doppio Espresso is the best match for my palate. Cafe Braziliano doesn't quite get there for me and the newer 'premium espresso' (no caffeine) and capp.... I haven't been able to get the same taste with them but I haven't experimented as much with them as the other.

That was a better answer than I imagined receiving! Your experience is appreciated. Both by me and future readers of this thread. Thank you.

Kent, You mentioned in passing the ylang ylang flower eliquid. I took a look at its listing on the website. Alongside it was lotus flower and rose. I'm a huge fan of rose taste, so I wonder if you could describe the ylang ylang. Is it similiar to any other flower flavor?

Ylang Ylang is hard to describe It's a bit sweet but not sugar sweet, if that makes any sense. Nick O'Teen (Peter, the owner) added some Ylang Ylang and Lotus Flower as freebies in a bulk purchase I made way back and I liked Ylang Ylang at the time, but Habana, Absinthe, Black Currant and Real Tabs were my top vapes. Lotus was a real sleeper... it was Peter's favorite and now I know why... but it took a while. YY crept up to no. 2 spot now and it is such a contrast to my standard Habana Reserve that I sometimes take that out instead. In the 'if I were on an island and had only one choice' scenario - it would still be HR but if two were allowed it would be HR and YY

Just in retasting it, there's a pleasant flowery taste not sweet up front on the inhale and some sweetness on the exhale but it is not a 'sweet' ejuice like the caramels, butterscotches, or even some of the dk 'tobacco' flavors - coconut, chocolate, etc. I've never tasted another flavor that is close to it in taste, but flavorart's ylang ylang would work as an alternative - just not quite as good as DV's version. It's the complex flavors going on in HR that I like, DV's Absinthe too, so YY and Lotus are not just single note flavors but less complex than the other two.

I happened to be ordering another product from Vaperite and remembered your suggestion for the Kona cream. So I bought a bottle. It came in the mail and when I opened the lid, the most fragrant aroma of any eliquid ive ever experienced wafted past my nostrils like a greeting! On vaping it I was gratified very much. It has a lovely Kona essence. I wanted to thank you personally for taking the time to reply with yr suggestion for it. Next I wanna try the Doppio that Kent suggested. Really good coffee vape, though. I want for nothing. Thank you!

My favorite coffee flavors:

Coffee from Copper Creek; I add some Sweet Cream from My Freedom Smokes (75/25 ratio). Just recently I've also begun adding a tobacco flavor (Evo's Black Diamond) to this mix which myself and a few others who've tried it love.

Kona Cream and Double Espresso from Vaperite. Agree with the above comment - these will make your home smell like a coffee house.

Kona Velvet Milkshake from Virgin Vapor. Sweet, rich & complex frappe flavor. Honorable mention for Dark Turkish Roast, too.

I've been vaping this sample of Five Bucks from Indigo Vapor, it's a caramel macchiato flavor and hands down the best coffee I've had from the dozen or so I've tried. Highly recommend!
