My Coffee E-Juice...

[Drag on the Magic Puff]

...has lost its flavour.

I've been vaping exclusively for nearly 6 months now (thanks Simon!) but I've never tasted any flavours until I recently bought the coffee, which was just lovely.

I mixed it with some Supercooks glycerine to reduce the nicotine strength and increase vapour, and for the first few days it was absolutely fine, still a nice noticeable flavour, but now it tastes of nothing.

It's quite difficult to get things posted to my address here in Spain (half the stuff seems to get lost en route), and I can't get coffee flavouring here either.

So, for a quick fix, do you think it would be ridiculous to try and get the coffee flavour back by adding a little coffee powder? Anyone tried it?

I imagine that coffee powder would kill your atomiser. Could you get hold of some PG-based coffee flavours?

Well, in time I could get hold of some flavourings or some more juice, but I wanted a quick fix really, something I could do now.

I was wondering about adding a little coffee mixed with a bit of water to my existing coffee juice.

Do you think that would kill my atomiser, or be dangerous to inhale?

Might try mixing coffee grounds and e-liquid together, letting them soak for a few hours, then straining every last bit of the grounds from the resulting fluid. You might get a flavor transfer. Worth a try.

Thanks TB.

I'm going to give it a go and use an older, less reliable atomiser to test the results.

My only remaining concern is inhaling the vapour, but I shouldn't think there would be anything too damaging in it (she said with everything crossed).

 

[TropicalBob]

Done properly, you shouldn't be adding anything that would make this obviously dangerous. And the vapor doesn't deliver enough of a substance to cause any kind of caffeine high. Hopefully, what you'll get is coffee flavor and taste in the vapor.

Let us know how it works out for you.

I'll certainly let you know if it makes any discernible difference to the flavour.
