I got some premix coffee when I first started vaping. I loved it but my wife hated the second hand aroma so I had to give up coffee vapes.

I did like one I found a few years ago made by Cyclops Vapor. It was called Hades. And, there was a coffee milk flavor that was good, but it wasn't a strong enough coffee flavor for me. It was called Laude.

Yesterday I placed an order with BCF and bought some Coffee Milk Froth (vta), hopefully I can make it work. I wonder if combing some chocolate at a low percentage might do the trick.

    @Sugar_and_Spice , I also agree you are free to express your viewpoint, even about me. You are entitled to your opinion, just as I was to mine. I don't even wish to argue any of your points. If you find my problems entertaining you are certainly free to do so.

    I do hope you don't have experiences such as mine, but perhaps you are too sensible and lofty to do so, although someone who is upset about cross discussion about a thread to the point you seem to be.....

    Even *I* the crazed monkey wouldn't waste my time having a meltdown about THAT.

    LOL I guess we all have different types of problems. Some people are self consumed, and others need to nitpick every tiny thing. You may be right, that's not much of a life.

    But thank you for your assessment and perhaps we all can move on.

    I'm all for moving on...........

    For someone who claims not to want to pick an argument you sure are condensending.
    Maybe reading comprehension should be your next goal.
    Only person around here that has meltdowns seems to be you.
    Not sure why you even started this discussion as it clearly did not involve you. The rest of us had let it go. Go back to being crazy in your own life and leave me out of it.
    You are much more agreeable in that mode.

    No i do not have you on ignore. Guess the fact is i must not be welcome to express my views. I can take a hint. Fact is ya'all feel perfectly fine trashing someone. Even a newbie for their views or lack of catching on.but i guess since i no longer participate like i used to its okay to push me aside also. So keep having your nervous breakdowns as it seems no one else seems to have a life. You dear are entertainment.

    I hope I did not seem like I was piling on in any way. I hate seeing that happen. I think we all have our moments of disagreement. I know I have and once I post them I move on from it.

    Maybe I should. Back then the wife had just quit using Chantix and she only took an occasional hit of zero nic to take the edge off when she started thinking about cigarettes. Now she vapes more than me so she might be less sensitive to downwind flavors. I had to drop the honey tobacco flavors as well. Although I gave my bottle of honey tobacco to the grandson and when he vaped it I found the aroma a bit obnoxious myself.
    I also like the honeywood tobacco, but I must admit it smells terrible.

    I think you will find any vendor juice way too over flavored for you now.

    Exactly, I agree 100%. I was just thinking the other day how since I started mixing my cotton in my atty's does not get nearly as foul looking as when I used retail juices.

    Me too. I like dark chocolate but then the ones I try are overkill and end up adding something creamy anyway. Going to try chocolate cheesecake today. I'm thinking I would like Smores but don't have marshmallow... any suggestions for one to try (I avoided using the word "Good"... see, I am learning)
    Yes, I’m beginning to think adding something creamy might be the trick but not just any cream. Vanilla swirl and similar help but it can also quickly wash out the chocolate. I don’t believe I own a marshmallow.

    @NolaMel as I sit here vaping my chocolate cake and toffee concoction, I am going to suggest a SMIDGE of toffee in your next attempt. At first I didn't like it until it steeped a fair bit, but it changes the flavor just enough that it might taste like chocolate for you, potentially.

    After the brandy fiasco well I am not going to offer up a recipe but like, try 0.5 or even 0.25 of English toffee and see what it does. If you have some failed mixes, put some in one, you don't have much to lose at this point. It doesn't taste like toffee to me after steeping (to be fair, um, 2 months, LOL but you might need less time than that.) It tastes like chocolate-- with a bite.

    I’ve come close to trying a toffee with choco but never pulled the trigger.

    What eggnog is that? I love eggnog IRL
    I think it was the FW. I tried a recipe that has both FW and FLV. One was mentioned in ELR as having a spice “note” (hah, more like spice overwhelm to me). It probably sat in the closet for three months before I tried it again. I liked it enough to try another recipe. Partly my fault as I used bourbon in it. I thought that’s what people who drink spiked it with.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I haven’t found one that was truly a fail for me. I get juicy, ripe blueberry. Honestly, I think I got the duo from you, then added a little bilberry (?). It’s blueberry extra plus can’t recall the other brand.
    Have you tried going a different direction with it? Maybe blueberry with forest fruit or something? Might get the sense of blueberry by adding other berry types to get your taste buds to perceive blueberry.

    You aren't talking about that blueberry milkshake with blueberry extra from a long time ago are you?

    Not often I see a flavor I automatically say nope! Lol. I have too many as it is

    @hittman , did you have a further thought on waffle? Or did it stay at “dough”?

    I never went back and actually mixed anything with the flv waffle. I used the tfa in that waffle recipe and honestly didn't taste any waffle. It was just sweet without much character. I meant to go back and mix with the flv but got sidetracked this weekend with lemon flavors.

    What about meringue?

    I do remember the bb milkshake, but I don’t think that was it. I must have two mixes muddled up. I desperately need to reorganize my notes/recipes binder so I can find things. When I come across it, I’ll make a note here.

    I've looked at that a time or two but I hesitate because I can't vape coffee anymore. Just had a few thoughts of how it would blend in with chocolate

    wow that was one interesting catch up today in here :blink:

    I haven't found a chocolate vape I have liked, I love chocolate (well not hersheys though), somethings just don't seem to work so well for vape, like I love strawberries, but no in vape juice.

    I may be brave enough to try an eggnog flavor sometime but I will have to let the spices steep out.

    Somewhere in this conversation gave me a good idea to try cream with my VTA Dark Chocolate. Maybe I can get to like it better cause I'm not a big fan of Dark Chocolate. When I bought the flavor I didn't expect it to be so authentic.

    Food and the corresponding vape don't also work.

    I am usually surprised my favorite things sort of rarely translate into a great vape for me.

    I guess the exception would be a good crème Brule (which is on hold for a while do not want to burn out) with forest fruit, I have no idea what fruits are there but well, I always imagine the tiny woodland creatures from Southpark Imagieland where like they eat you. Heh.

    But sometimes, your favorite foods and beverages shouldn't be vaped. Sometimes. I would never attempt a Diet Pepsi Vape.

    Well, maybe next year when I hit my target date of not being a smoker and try to like, quit, which is on the agenda.

    Sigh, ALWAYS something,

    Yoga time almost! I am afraid to get on the mat. I know it won't hurt today but tomorrow it will hurt an unfortunate amount, Maybe not. LOL.

    Thank you so much for the mango lassi recipe, I think I have most flavors with a sub or two, going to try it out tomorrow.
