TFA Cappuccino Help

[3mg Meniere]

My coffee vape is 1/4 ml cappuccino, 1/4 ml Irish Cream, and 1/2 ml coffee (clear), not sure what brand those are--I order from wizard. It is a bit rich, I put that in 10 ml base, you might want to try it in 15 ml.

I have the TFA Coffee Clear from Wizard Labs and it was too strong at 5% so I just add a drop per ml of the 5% mix to my unvapable tobaccos I've been makin to kill their bad taste. Works good. I think I'll try the coffee at 1% and add some cream to it even though I drink my coffee black with fresh ground beans. Also thinkin about makin my own coffee concentrate.

I just (today) made up a batch using TFA caramel cappuccino that turned out very good, IMHO. I ordered and made this specifically for a coffee loving friend. I'm a hot tea drinker and rarely drink coffee but after vaping a little (after some time in the UC) I immediately made another batch for myself. I just threw some things together that I thought would fit and sure enough, they did.

2% Caramel Cappuccino-TFA
2% Red USA-Hangsen
1% Sweet Cream-TFA
1% Dulce De Leche-TFA
1% Vanilla Classic-FA
1% Irish Cream-FA

This is not a "sweet" vape, although it does have a sweetness to it. I may try adding a half drop (very small dropper) of stevia to the next tank.

That sounds perty good Rick. I think I'll try that. I'll have to sub TFA M-Type or FA Dekang for the Red USA. Think that'll work? I can't get anything good from these mixin stand alone.

MType is very strong, I'm not sure how that would work in that mix. As a standalone flavor it's only recommended to be used at .5-1%

I've had better luck with coffee flavors by working backwards. I add my cream, caramel, vanilla, sweetener (whatever combination) and try a quick vape to get it right. After it's right I add a drop of the coffee flavor per ml of e-liquid. If it needs more, I go up gradually.

I used to start with the coffee and try to "decorate" it with cream and sweetener...always turned out burnt because it was too dang strong.

Thank you! That makes sense. I bet it's going to solve my coffee problem, too! "Decorate" with coffee, not cream and sweetener! I'm going to try it right now.

Well, TFA coffee flavors have not been my cup of tea, so to speak. I tried, I really did - and I know those TFA flavors appeal to some people, so it might work for you.

I use FlavourArt Espresso for nearly all my coffee mixes, adding just a touch of it. It's a very strong flavoring I use sparingly, pure espresso but not bitter or burnt. I never ever drink or vape black coffee. When I discovered how strong FlavourArt Espresso is, I learned to mix everything else first. I usually add 1-2% of it. Sometimes I use FlavourArt Tiramisu instead, which is also strongly coffee flavored, but with some chocolate, more sweetness, a bit of vanilla or cake if you focus hard.

The one other coffee flavoring I've liked is Nature's Flavors organic Coffee. It's easily overwhelmed by other flavors, so it takes more. I use it for plainer mixes (just add cream and sweetener).

For cream I use FlavourArt Fresh Cream. It tastes like plain unsweetened cream, makes a very creamy coffee added at 2%. I sweeten with flavors as often as with Sucralose or Ethyl Maltol. I might use any of these: FlavorWest Salted Caramel, FlavorWest Butter Pecan (awesome sweet addition to coffee!), FlavourArt Cocoa, various vanillas, pie flavors, nuts, sweet cinnamon, Capella's sweet raspberry, FA Irish Cream (mmm!), any Amaretto... ahhhh, my kinda coffee. I'm sure black coffee purists are gagging at this, lol.

The purist's might be gagging, but it sounds excellent to me! They don't know what they're missing, that's all!

Your recipe sounds great, I'm going to try it. I have had good luck with Caramel Capp, but not much with regular Capp. (both TFA)

I drink my coffee black most of the time, but I really can't stand to vape it that way.

I can't get anything good from these mixin stand alone.

I have yet to make a stand alone anything. I started this DIY thing with a dry4 recipe I got here, played around with it and now mix by smell, by guess and by golly. OK, I do cheat a little and look up suggested starting percentages. I'd read about how strong the caramel cappuccino was so I started at 1%. Tasted it and decided that it needed another 1%. It's very good now but that doesn't mean it couldn't get better. Of course I've been known to take a good mix and ruin it by trying to make it "better". If I did change it, I'd do so in small increments and with small batches.

As to a sub for the Red USA, I can't help you as I've not tried either of them. I'm fairly new to this and learning as I go. Sometimes I guess good. Sometimes by golly it needs to be poured down the drain.

Hmmmm. That may be why I got a perfumey odd taste when I mixed it at 5% and steeped it a couple of weeks. It doesn't even have a hint of tobacco flavor at that strength. But I did add a little coffee mix to it and vaped it anyway. No wonder You just answered my first post for me that I did a couple of weeks ago, and thanks for postin that thread. I've been searchin this site for 3 weeks and askin questions to get this info. Guess I wasn't bein CLEAR enough I figured out last night BY CHANCE that I was makin my tobaccos too strong at 5% so I cut em with some straight stuff to see if that will help.
