My bf's friend looked at a list of the flavorings I have, and he wants me to make a marshmallow espresso eliquid for him by mixing the espresso flavoring and the marshmallow flavoring together. I know! ... it sounds so simple...haha
What he wants is to be able to taste the marshmallow more than the espresso. I make his eliquid at 60PG/40VG 8mg nicotine (He likes that mixture) I would like to make a 5ml test batch.
The espresso is By Capella, and the Marshmallow is By Flavor West.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated :) I thought I would ask you guys here (the experts) for help. Thank you very much!

Ok, well you kinda answered your question already. First, start with a Lower % of Espresso. If it were me, I would add some French Vanilla or maybe even some sweet cream to emphasize the Marshmallow, maybe add a few drops of sweetener. The espresso is likely to be quite strong, so perhaps use that at like 3-4%? And marshmallow at like 8-9% with 3-4% of French Vanilla OR Sweet Cream.
That's where I would start and adjust accordingly.

Thank you so much! I knew I had to use less espresso and with my first batch I did, but I still could not get the marshmallow to come through more than the espresso. I just did not know which flavors I could add to it to bring out the marshmallow without taking it over. Thank you again :)

Espresso is a stupidly powerful flavor so start with 1% let it steep a few days by itself. Make another batch at 2% and another at 4% (keep doubling then fine tune from there) until you find your holy grail. This way if 2% is weak but 4% is to much you can just combine the two for a 3% total mixture. Saves time and the headaches of needing to steep again and again. You can simply add 2% more to the 1% batch to bring it up. That or dilute the final 3% batch and there is virtually no wasted juice this way.

I use the One Stop DIY Lotta Latte Blend and it's really good I'm told. Said to be one of the best coffee flavors next to the Hangsen Coffee and Lorann Keoke. I don't vape coffee myself but I have a friend who has me make juice custom for him and we have sampled damn near every coffee flavor out there. He has been vaping nothing but coffee for over two years from online vendors previously. But he really enjoys the OSDIY Latte flavor the most and his family actually enjoys the aroma it leaves behind. So I suggest getting the OSDIY Blend and giving that one a try too. It's not a super concentrate so you just put in 10% or 20 drops per 10ml and you are one and done.
