So I've been vaping for a couple months now. I started by using Apollos standard kit and since then have purchased a DSE901 and a Ego. I LOVE my Ego and want to get away from buying prefills but I can not get my flavors right, buying pre mixed or mixing it my self. My biggest grudge is, I fell in love with Apollos coffee flavor, but they only sell it in their pre filled cartomizers and not in their e-juice section. I have tried several combinations of flavors and have not been able to match the flavor. Maybe I`m just not buying my concentrates from the right vendors or something, and I know it is a long shot, but if anyone is familiar with this particular taste, and knows how to duplicate it, I would love the advice.

This happens a lot. People fall in love with a prefilled carto that's not available in bottles. I guess that's why they do it~!
It happened to my Mom who loved a prefilled carto that came with her kit too. I imagine it's a chinese juice but how to find the same one is almost impossible. After buying many, she finally gave up and found a Backwood Brew juice she likes.

Good luck! Maybe someone will come along and know a juice to recommend. The Apollo disposable is what got us vaping. I usually vape menthol but the tobacco juice that was in the disposable was excellent.

Welcome Knotar. I won't be much help, I'm just starting to experiment with flavors myself, and have not even started with coffees yet (as I suck down a pot of coffee a day while vaping my DIY chocolate lol) My attempts at DIY are starting to pay off, my chocolate coconut almost tastes like a mounds. I'm sure soon more knowledgeable people will be here to help. There is also a whole section on DIY in here somewhere

Good Luck

Unfortunately, coffee is one of those flavours where it seems to be really hard to find a truly good one. I don't know what Apollo's tastes like but I can tell you that so far, my efforts to make a really good coffee vape have come up fruitless, so I can eliminate Perfumer's Apprentice Coffee and Espresso off the list for my ideal coffee vapes (Espresso isn't bad actually but still tastes like cheap coffee), and PA's Coffee Clear is simply vile.

The best coffee I have tasted in a premixed was Bold Coffee from Crystal E-Liquid. It's the only one of their liquids I liked (the rest were literally the worst juices I ever tasted and tastes like floor cleaner even after months of steeping, but I understand they've reformulated since then. Not that I'd try anything but their coffee again) but it was a really good coffee vape when I had it. I'm actually considering ordering it again.

What did the coffee taste like? I finally DIYed some that I like. I'm a "like my cream with a little coffee" girl. Happy to share the recipe with you or send you a sample of mine (PM me info). If you're looking for a bold, black expresso or stong coffee flavor this wouldn't be a fit. Hope you find your coffee juice fix!

No, few things are worse than bacon. But PA's Coffee Clear both smells and tastes revolting. Honestly, whoever came up with that flavour and thought it tasted like coffee must also clean themselves with their tongue.

LOL! :laugh: Please refrain from making statements like that when I'm eating or drinking...I almost spewed burrito parts all over the room from the sudden fit of laughter...:laugh::laugh:
