Perfumers Apprentice Coffee Extra (Clear) & coffee recommendations

[salemgold]

That one's part of this last big order to PA, salemgold, so it should be at my door any day now. Might be there waiting for me to get home right now! Thanks for the rec to use 1.5%...I might have just made it at the usual test-drive 10%, and gotten the wrong idea about it.

Not sure if the NF kona cream is the same as Vaperite's. I was told by someone that Todd makes his own coffee flavors, told by the person that supplies some of the coffees to Todd. Maybe NF is buying from Todd now, as when I went to NF's site after Todd told me about it at Vapefest, they didn't have a Kona Cream flavor. That was at the end of March. Regardless, that flavor is a real winner, but not an in-your-face coffee. More subtle and sweet, like these Capellas I just got.

I have been "stuck" on that PA Caramel Cappuccino for weeks now Let us know what you think.

PS I think at 10% it might just make you sick lol

If you are using NF flavors, you should be using what they call their "Coffee and Tea Flavoring System" flavors. I have been using some of their flavorings for about 8 months and they have always had the Kona Cream in that catagory. Nature's Flavors : Organic Flavoring Systems for Coffee & Tea

Their other flavor concentrates either have acacia gum or more alcohol in them compared with the Coffee and Tea Flavorings.

That's great info. Thanks, Bovinia! I will likely try some of these in the future.

I looked into the new Loranns Natural flavor line. No gum, and most are VG. Some have some water and/or ethanol. Been some complaints that they are 1/2 strength of the regular Lorann flavors, but if they are only VG, one can simply double the amount used in a juice. The price comes out very similar to capellas flavors, sans PG. I am just fine with that. Even 15% flavor if it is in PG is too much PG for me! 10% or less I don't seem to notice it, but more than that and the usual PG bad things start to happen. Would be nice to boost flavor and not worry about PG nasties happening.

Fortunately I don't have issues with PG of VG like a lot of people. I just fell in love with the NF Caramel Cream flavoring and that's why I use it. I use it at a generous 20% of my mix. What I don't like is the alcohol taste and burn, so I pour my bottle of flavoring into a bowl, nuke it for about 15 seconds per oz and let it cool in the bowl to evap most of the alcohol off...then use a small funnel to pour it back in the bottle.

I've never tried Lorann flavors, other than the NF Caramel Cream most of my flavorings are from Flavor Art.
