I love the White Coffee. It's my new ADV as of nearly 2 months ago. I make it for myself and for a newbie I'm helping to switch over to vaping. He loves it so much...he doesn't even want to try any other eliquids! 2 ECF friends and another local 1 who also DIY, are making it now, too, since I shared some flavoring and my recipe with them. We've all ordered multiple 2oz. and/or 4oz. bottles of it from River Supply's Clearance...while there's still some there. It's available on the Euro Flavor's US website (TX location), too, but is 50% more there.
Thanks @JCinFLA
Would you call this a sweet coffee? I really don't like coffee (in a vape or in a mug) unless it's fairly sweet.

Good morning :)
Here are some progress photos. I compressed them, but maintained the same resolution (and hopefully the same high quality) how did I do @JCinFLA ?

The butcherblock is pretty much done, I just need to wax it tomorrow. The walrus oil(hemp and safflower) really brought the birch to life but maintained its very natural look. I'll need several more coats for the shelf planks(early american), and at least 1 more coat for the leg units(jacobean). I really love the look of the jacobean even as is, but I want it, and the planks, darker.

    I’ve not had good luck with Firestone in the past. Seems like I always have had problems taking vehicles there. I stopped using them.

    the last time I had a car that the alternator went out on (Nissan Maxima) (last year). The alternator was so expensive and I have a mechanic friend (female) who knows her stuff. She took it off for me and I took it to a place to have it rebuilt. It cost 1/4 of the price of getting a new one

    Good morning mixers , my BCF order is out for delivery. It was originally due to be delivered on Monday... I have mostly restocks of a few favorite flavors as well as about 4 different butterscotch flavors I have not tried yet. I'll probably mix up a recipe @ShowMeTwice gave me...

    We may have a slight dusting here today, temps are low 30's. I'll probably do some wellness checks on the reptiles. All the adults are in brumation right now and probably won't wake up till the end of April.

    Would you call this a sweet coffee? I really don't like coffee (in a vape or in a mug) unless it's fairly sweet.

    Euro Flavors description of it is: "Our bold coffee with a splash of sweet cream. The fresh smell of coffee accompanied by the rich full flavor of our White Coffee."

    It's definitely a bold coffee flavor (European bold, not American bold) and you can taste the sweet cream in it. But I wanted more cream and sugar when I made the sample 15mL for Chris and my own 30mL bottle. So this was the recipe I came up with:

    White Coffee (EF) - 5.5%
    DX Sweet Cream (TFA) - 2.5%
    Sweetener (TFA) - 1%
    Smooth (TFA) - 0.3%

    It doesn't say anywhere that it has ethyl alcohol in it, but I think it does, since I was getting a little harshness. So I added the Smooth to the recipe, shook it up a bunch, and left the tip & cap off overnight.

    Had several people tell me that it smelled really good...like they were at Starbucks when I was vaping it.

    I still wanted a little more creamy taste though, so I added Vanilla Swirl (TFA) @ 1.5% to the recipe and have made it that way ever since then. 2 other people are also making theirs that way, too, now. It's sweet enough for me and those people, with the TFA Sweetener in it at 1%, but you could certainly make it sweeter very easily.

    Thanks for doing that! They all loaded quickly and the resolution is fine. :thumbs:

    A lot of coffee flavors are coil gunkers, not so with White Coffee EF. It's very clean...

    It would be nice to vape coffee again but I'm not getting any hopes up. FA Expresso is out of the running. I can't vape it. I have another mix with FA Cappucino. If that doesn't work I'm not carrying it any further. I've been down that road before and just a waste of money.

    Yep! I'm getting 11 days on each Z-coil with it...and that's running a bunch of mLs of the WC through it. I was getting an average of 14 days with the LMP, but...11 days with the WC is still fine with me!
