Real coffee

[5cardstud]

Ok call me crazy but I had this 50ml bottle of ry4 that I hated. So I decided to try something. I took a little of my ground coffee beans and put some of the ry4 in it in a small container and let it soak for about 5 hrs. then I took a large syringe and put a piece of cotton in it to strain it with. Drew up the liquid. Put it in a dropper bottle and vaped. I mean it tastes exactly like coffee so now its my morning vape.

Sounds uber but Im wondering if there would be anything else that one shouldn't want to vape in the coffee.

Not sure though

 

[Uncle Pennybags]

Hey, you might be onto somthing here. I can't see it being bad. The coffee bean is all natural, right?

 

[Overlord]

Should be all natural unless its a flavored coffee. Then oil is added to provide flavor which I wouldn't want to vape lol.

Yeah, coffee flavor! That stuff is awful!

 

[whimzkool]

Yeah, did this with Puerto Rican coffee beans. Tastes great. However, heart palpatations suggested a bit too much stimulation for my liking. If you can handle the caffeine and nic... more power to ya! Was considering a de-caf batch, but wanted to read more about the chemicals used in the decaf. process.

You should check out a Swiss water process decaf. They use water to extract the caffeine instead of chemicals, likely it is a better choice for vaping. I can find it in the coffee section at the local grocery store, so I imagine it's widely available.

Them were the days of craving and not having. I have found an excellent coffee eliquid at strictly ejuice that has very good taste since writing this post.

not many ppl know to use that cotton ball at the end of a needle..

that is a good idea for fixing flavors that ppl do not like.. coffee will overpower a lot of flavors..

i have not gotten around to trying loranns coffee flavoring.. i drink the stuff all day so have just been trying other flavors

Which one?

Also, I apologize for my first post in this thread. I was thinking of the pre-mixed coffee flavors that I've tried, and didn't consider the fact that you were doing something different.

Wow - I like this idea. I have a few e-liquids that taste awful to me. I'd love a good coffee flavored vape, and if it doesn't work out for me, the only thing I lose is some awful e-juice.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll report back after I give this a try

Also - I wouldn't have thought of straining it with cotton in the syringe, I would have tried a large syringe and maybe pushing it slowly through a paper coffee filter (which probably wouldn't have worked so well) - Thanks!!

Question: Do you think that slightly warming the e-juice with the ground coffee beans in it would help as far as infusing the coffee flavor?

I thought of perhaps using one of my electric "yankee candle tart melters", and sitting the mixture in the bottle, into the bowl - or even covering the warming surface with a small towel and sitting the bottle on it for a while?

Someone in the new users section asked about using tea bags in a similar manner. Soak the tea bags in VG or PG to get a good tea flavor?

 

[KarrMcDebt]

I've done this with coffee. You want to do the cotton ball filter thing a few times to make sure your not dumping coffee sludge into your atty. I tried my first batch soaking the grounds in 100 proof vodka (PGA not avail here). That worked well as an extract, but you have to add to much alcohol into the juice for it to work well, but it definately transfered the flavor.
I now only use this stuff in cartos, just because I baby my attys these days. For me, anything darker than honey goes into a carto, just in case.

I have Loranns Keoke Coffee flavor and it's wonderful. I don't know about their regular coffee flavor.

I tried this last night:

I had some mild tobacco liquid I wasn't too fond of. The liquid was a very pale amber color.

I put about 3ml into a small plastic mixing bottle.

I put regular ground coffee beans into the bottle - filled the juice with enough grounds to just let me be able to shake the mixture.

I wrapped it in a paper towel and sat it on my candle warmer for about an hour, keeping a good eye on it to make sure it didn't get too hot, just warm, and kept shaking it periodically.

I started to notice the liquid getting darker in color.

In a separate bottle I put about 1.5ml VG+distilled water (premixed and purchased that way)

I dipped the end of a toothpick into the VG, then into a packet of Splenda.
I dipped the splenda coated toothpick back into the VG. I did that twice.

I then put the VG with splenda onto the warmer for a couple of minutes, watching it and shaking to disolve the Splenda.

I strained the coffee infused e-liquid 3 times through cotton in a syringe, mixed the splenda sweetened VG into it and shook it up.

Results:

This has potential. I could taste the coffee. I could taste the sweetness (which is what I wanted, to see if I could actually make it sweet) -

But - it wasn't enough to hide or enhance the tobacco liquid I didn't like.

I vaped on it for a while, to give it a fair chance.

I ended up throwing away what I didn't vape. I can see doing this again using Vodka to soak the ground coffee beans. (no PGA here, it's illegal)

Or soaking the ground coffee beans in plain VG+H2O - and adding that to perhaps some chocolate (or other coffee compatible e-juice). Or vaping it alone just to gauge the coffee flavor.

The warmer did help infuse the coffee pretty quickly. If I did this again I'd use a glass bottle though.

All in all - it was fun to experiment and gave me some ideas on how to perhaps improve it if I wanted to do it again.

Their regular coffee is pretty bitter but I mixed some english toffee with it and came up with a great flavor.
