Juice I made for grandpa "ever so slightly harsh" (Good coffee's?)

[jdmaring]

I have dabbled in mixing for a while but only now semi-seriously getting into it. I have made some good mixes for myself and a few for my grandpa. He has been vaping the same coffee from Good Life called 9 to 5 for years. I have made mix 2.5% French Vanilla Cream (TFA) 2.5% Cappuccino (FW) and 1% Sucralose, no nic, 50/50 PG/VG Steeped 2+ weeks

I didn't think it was harsh, he says it is only very slightly harsh compared with his daily juice. Any suggestion? or flavor suggestions? He likes a mild flavor with little sweetness, knocking the sweetener down as the Vanilla has some sweetness to it.

Thanks.

A lot of mixers seem to be pretty impressed by VSO's Expresso, this here:
VSO Espresso
They also have some moccas (espresso, vanilla, chocolate mixed)

another good mocca seems to be the one from the SSA-Line, to get here:
Mocca Coffee-SSA
and they also have cappucine, sweet coffe.

As said, only what i heard in diy-streams, since i personally hate coffees of all type.

maybe less PG say 40/60

Just looked it up and read some reviews. It might also have some chocolate flavor in it.

I always liked FA cappuccino. I haven’t mixed any coffee for awhile but I think a custard flavor would make a nice mild mix.

It could be the 50/50 vg/pg you are using. I am not sure what ration 9 to 5 is made at.. A high pg ratio will cause what some deem as harsh.

Try putting your juice in a Good Life bottle then see what he thinks. The human brain is a complex thing.

I would go down to 40pg also, even 35 since many flavors have pg as the carrier even before mixing.

Good luck!

I wonder if you could get some insparation from @HeadInClouds work.

Here's some links, but you'll have to do a little searching as well.

What I was thinking, is that there's a very good cream recipe around the net somewhere. Now that may be what you're mix is missing, something to balance the bitterness of the coffee.

Oh, and you could use Ethyl Maltol at 1% insead of Sucralose. Which is less sweeter and also it doesn't destroy the coil/s and wicking with excessive buildup of gunk like Sucralose does.

Thanks I'll check it out and try some other sweeteners I think I have both ethyl maltol and erythritol (heard mixed things) but have only messed with Sucralose so far.

Actually those mixes were 60/40 not 50/50 I forgot. However, I can't really bump much higher as he only uses MTL pod devices.
