I've been vaping my espresso, chocolate 712, dairy mix last night and it's great. It tastes just like an espresso martini that I used to make with a little godiva chocolate liquor. It's good, too good.
Hey I'm curious about the percent you used on the expresso .after my cappuccino disaster I'm trying to get a good coffee without it tasting like burnt coffee beans!
I just used 20% VG and 12mg nic. Other than that I'm not sure what Geoff did but it was good. Like I said it tastes more like an espresso martini than a cup of coffee which was a surprise but a very pleasant one.
My mailman buzzed my apartment this morning. My reaction was "Wow. That was fast." But it turned out to be a package a friend sent me from Brooklyn yesterday.
Not that I wasn't happy to get this package, but it could have waited a few days. What a letdown.
ETA: I just realized that I hadn't checked my mail yet. The package from TV was there. (Why the postman brought up one priority mail package and put the other in the box -- no idea.) I tried the Milk Chocolate but it needs to age.

Well my favorite from all the flavors I got last week, hands down, is Rasberry/Cheesecake/Brandy. I didn't use markimar's percentages due to carelessness, but I'm sure that a higher Rasberry would make it even better. It's already great as-is though. I'm going to reorder it. Next time 50/40/10.
So far I've only tried...
1) the coffee and horchata (a couple drops of coffee with a few drops of horchata in the cart) and while it isn't very strong yet, it tasted much like I imagined it would. I think the horchata will lend itself to mixing with a lot of things.
2) Strawberry/banana cream. Again not very strong but I can taste both flavors...very good.
I'm anxious to try my Raspberry/Cheesecake/Brandy but I'm trying to let as many flavors as possible mature before I try them...yeah, we'll see how that goes.

LOL told ya it was kickin booty I am afraid to start back up on it cause I'd vape the entire bottle in one day! It's too good to use!

Do it do it! It was outstanding on day one I can only imagine now that it's aged a week or so oooh do I dare? LOL
Just got my order today- 5 customs, I already have Orange/Lime so only 4 new flavors.
It took me all night to figure out which flavor I put in which atty but once I figured it out and my brain could really connect the flavors I was more than pleased..
I am very sure that by next week all of these will be even better- but here are my reviews on day one.
Tropical Punch/Grape- didn't come out the way I wanted it, right now I taste mostly grape (and no mistaking the purple color lol) but even though not what I had in mind I REALLY like it- hoping by next week the Tropical Punch will come through..
Chocolate/Chocolate712/Orange/dairy- I can already tell this one will age to exactly what I wanted- a Terry's chocolate Orange- even on day one this is still awesome
Raspberry/Bavarian Cream- amazing
Pineapple/Chocolate712/Banana Cream- this one is so tasty, each flavor ends up being the star at different times during the vape.
Orange/Lime is same as last time I ordered it a nice crisp refreshing flavor, a nice palate cleanser
(and a little tropical/grape left on the atty adds a nice addition to the chocolate/orange.

Thank You Markimar! Your recipe for the raspberry cheesecake brandy is to die for!
Just got my order today. The peppermint is awesome. It's going to fix the un-vapeable DK tobacco liquids I have stashed away. I hope my spicey orange-y flavor ages well. Sometimes flavor blends just sound so good then you taste it and think.... What was I thinkin'!
LOLOkay, did it! As a matter of fact I've tasted all of them now but the plain vanilla. My taste buds are a little (or maybe a lot, I don't know) whacked right now but I'll comment on what I got anyway.
Markimar's Raspberry/Cheesecake/Brandy is very yummy. Very raspberry and very smooth and rich. This is good stuff. Doubler worthy.
Raspberry/Bavarian cream - good. Can taste the raspberry quite well and it's a little bit "creamy". Not as good as the above but still very nice.
Lime/Coconut - This is a winner. Refreshing and I prefer this to the Lime/Orange. It's 'gentler' on the palate, not as aggressive if that makes sense. This will be a great hot-summer-day vape. Doubler worthy.
Strawberry/Lemonade - this is good and refreshing as well. Needs time to mature I think, neither flavor is very strong. But it's good. Even a little bit 'puckery'.
Strawberry/Banana Cream - I like this. It's quite banana-y. I got it to add horchata to but haven't gotten that far yet. It's nice the way it is but I think it will pair nicely with the horchata, too.
Caramel/Pecan - I got this to mix and match with other flavors (coffee, vanilla, etc.) The pecan comes through very well and tastes toasted. Not so much caramel yet although it is there. I'm happy with it.
Vanilla - didn't try it yet but got it to add to other flavors.
Coffee - I have not tried this by itself...see next.
Horchata - This tastes like the custard part of a custard-y rice pudding. I LOVE it. I've been vaping this with the coffee, just about 50/50 with a couple drops of sweetener and it's like inhaling home and happiness. Really a lovely comfort vape and my hands down favorite. If you went to Starbucks and could order a Cinnamon Rice Milk Latte this is what it would taste like. Doubly doubler worthy (along with the coffee)

Ohh the horchata coffee sounds good but I got cappuccino in one of my customs and it was way to strong bitter. .. I'm afraid to order coffee now! I love coffee. Hmmm what to do ?
My orange creamsicle didn't come out too swell.. the orange is very citrus sharp. Maybe next week it will be a little better. I will also try mixing it with some other stuff at a later date. Maybe it will taste good with tasty finger mixed in. I love those chocolate oranges.
beecee: That's strange, mine came out a little too soft. But It's still pretty nice. I'm letting it age a little to see how it does. It's nice mixed with GCC (but then I seem to like everything mixed with german chocolate cake)
Mine shipped 8 days ago so they are ready to vape. Reaching my hand in and pulling them out of the box at random:
Lime Lemonade (heavy on the lime) - Very tart and refreshing. It tastes like a lime freezer pop. The "heavy on the lime" instruction may have been a mistake. Unlike the lemonade, the lime doesn't have any sweetness added so it's a bit too sour. That may improve with time. Until then one drop of sweetener in a cartful balances it out. Next time I'd go for a 50/50 combination.
Chocolate 712/Vanilla/Dairy - This is the closest to the elusive milk chocolate that I've gotten. It's not there and I'm going to give up my quest for a while, but it's pretty good. There's a slight flavor of something almost metallic-tasting at the very end of the exhale that I don't like but, other than that, I think this would be great for people who like sweetened hot chocolate.
Apricot Cheesecake - It tastes like apricots on cheesecake. It's slightly perfume-y but I expected that. I think apricots are a perfume-y fruit. If that's a deal-breaker for you, get a different fruit. But this is very good.
Coffee/Dairy - I drink iced coffee so light it's almost beige. This is too strong for me but it does taste exactly like coffee with milk in it. I have the feeling that I'll wind up using it as a mixer. I get that metallic aftertaste from this as well, so it must be the dairy, but Bananas Foster and the cheesecake have to have dairy and I don't taste it in them, so that might disappear with a bit more aging.
Non-custom flavors
Raspberry - This isn't a blend so I've been sampling it all week. Perfection. In a 510 cart it tastes like raspberries that are so ripe that you have to eat them before they get mushy. With dripping it's less sweet - like raspberries that are just ready to eat. It's also good with a hint of peppermint but I think it's even better on it's own.
Mint Chocolate Chip - I got s'mores in my first TV order. They were okay, but I wasn't crazy about them. Then I added some peppermint to them and that's been one of my favorites ever since. This tastes like the new and improved version of that. No wonder everyone is raving about it. I have to put it away until I finish my s'mores or I'll never go back to them.
The bottom line - Everything is pretty good -- better than most the flavors I bought elsewhere before finding TV but Geoff is definitely better and creating flavors than I am. I'll probably stick to his from now on.

Update: The above have been aging nicely.
The Lime/Lemonade remained too pungent for me. My stomach was not appreciating the acid level. I ordered a bottle of TV Lemonade and am mixing equal parts of both and that mostly fixed the problem (it's now lemonade with a little lime.) It's still got too much of a kick for me to use as an all day vape, but it's a very tasty "half-a-carto-treat."
Chocolate 712/Dairy/Vanilla & Coffee/Dairy - both of these are losing the metallic flavor. There's still a hint of it there but, 10 days in, it's almost gone. I therefore assume it's something that the aging process will take care of and I won't taste it at all by sometime next week. The coffee is still too strong for me but mixed with some butter cream, it's pretty nice.
Apricot Cheesecake - the cheesecake is making it's presence known at last. The apricot is still very dominant -- it's a fruit with a very strong, sweet flavor and the e-liquid is just the same.
Raspberry - I think I'll need several more bottle of this so I can test it repeatedly for several hours each day.
