TPA Cappuccino - Need advice on use

[crxess]

Bought 10ml TPA Cappuccino

I'm less than a newb and actually picked this up to possibly help a weak e-liquid. I enjoy the smell and flavor of cappuccino. Translating to e-liquids must be mystical.(LOL - most flavors seem that way) Some of my encounters include:

Dekang Cappuccino - Decent Vape with a very nice Flavor. (May have been a house blend using Dekang Flavoring - Haiyuan)
Dekang Creamy Cappuccino<LiteCig> Not so creamy or cappuccino tasting. More of a Dark roast coffee.
Caramel Cappuccino<BWB> More Caramel than Cap and a bit harsh, burnt taste maybe
High Desert Vapes Cappuccino - Smooth, creamy with a clean flavor. Hard to tell if it is true cappuccino flavor as it is super mellow. About 1/3 the flavor of most of my e-liquids.

All I have is the TPA Cappuccino, no other flavors - Do have my Syringes and some 3,5,10ml bottles
I have 9.5ml HDV Cappuccino that could use a boost.
I also have 100ml of unflavored nic 18mg

Just looking for a decent morning brew - nothing fancy.

What do I need?
How much do I use for 10 ml mixes?

Thank you,

i have been having big problems with the TPA cap. also..

i tried it at a bunch of different percentages on its own and i really cant use it to where i like the taste.. or that it doesnt taste like burnt coffee...

but i also never gave it a chance to steep because of how frustrated i got with this flavor.. i just dumped it, alot of people would not have agreed with dumping it because they will say that i should have let it steep. but i honestly dont even care for coffee flavors too much.

my ultimate conclusion would be to mix it very very low at first.. mix it at 2% that might be the ideal percentage to use for this flavor.. then let it steep to see if it gets better..

if your desperate for this flavor. get a bunch of small bottles and in the first bottle mix it at 2% then the second bottle at 3% then the third at 4% and so on... let them steep for about a week and see which one was best.... thats what i would do if i was really itching to get this flavor right.

i hope i helped a little bit.

This may not help much as I've never used TPA Capp. I have used TPA Kona Coffee and man, it's strong stuff. I ended up using 1 drop per 10mL! If this cap is similar, I'd suggest trying that.

see^^^^^^ use it at a very low percentage.

another vote for just 1 drop per 10 ml. I don't have the TPA Capp, but I do have the TPA Caramel Capp .. I only use one drop per 10 ml of the Caramel Capp plus a few drops of TPA Sweet Cream.

Thanks for all the replies.
While waiting, I ended up cutting some 18mg PG to 12.6 With plain VG. Did 5ml with 3 drops TPA Cap.
Letting it steep for a while as I have totally learned the value of steeping with BWB E-Liquids. If it is to harsh I have plenty of unflavored Nic and VG. I can reduce the mix easily if needed.
Reading up at TPA it would seem that the Cap is not as strong a mix as the CarCap.....but I might be wrong.

Well, even with a week to steep, first try was a bust. Hardly any flavor and the mix was almost clear.
Mixed up a second<10ml> Batch. This time went 1 drop per ml. After another weeks wait, this one is much closer in color to purchased cappuccino's but still has minimal flavor.
Can't seem to find any references to mixing plain cappuccino.

TPA cappuccino seems to be a total bust for me. I have wasted 1/2 the flavoring with no good results.
Started low with a few drops per ml
Went to 3%
Tried 5%
Last was 10%

@ 5% the color was a translucent brown. Flavor still was nothing like cappuccino Weak and muddled
@ 10% Color is Dark Brown and the e-liquid will tighten up a carto after 1 fill. It picked up a tobacco-ish taste

Maybe this has to be used with a coffee flavor to create a cappuccino taste.
Would be nice if TPA gave you a clue about proper use per flavor type and its concentration - HA!

That's a bummer, I had this on my list of things to order next!

I knew it was strong, but all the tests here make it look unfriendly, especially if you aren't planning on adding a bunch of cream and sweet to it.
