Searched around but couldn't find anything specific on this one. I bought 10ml of this Perfumers Apprentice Kona Coffee recently, and I wanted to ask if anyone else has had experience of it? The bottle I have is such a strong aroma that is taints the air around it. Worse still, the smell does not even have the slightest hint of coffee to it. Closest smell I can describe is burning rubber. That's just smelling the outside of the bottle. Take the cap off and it almost makes your eyes water. I imagine this stuff smells like smelling salts must do, because if I was unconscious and someone stuck that under my nose I would be on my feet and running just to get away from it!

Foolishly I did try to vape it in a 5% mix, all I got was a weaker taste of burning rubber and my wife complaining about the smell for an hour even with all the windows open. I know that sounds like exaggeration but it isn't.

Has anyone else tried this one? Is it really this potent (vile) or do I have a bad bottle or something?

I remember that stuff...smelled like burnt celery to me. I couldn't get it out of my nose for 2 days...LOL. Thanks for bring back my nightmare.

All of their coffees are extremely strong. I finally got it tasting closer to what it should at 1% but then I let it steep for a few days.

Good luck to you and hopefully you'll wife will understand that you are trying to save some cash by DIY'ing.
