Trouble Finding A New Coffee Vape To Replace Njoy's Double Expresso

Actually vaping can dry you out while PG carrying flavor a bit further is known to be a drier type vape where vape and coffee sounds good! The 70/30 PG/VG ratio will tend to dry things up a bit. Presently I am now going to be mixing some 50/50 blends in as an alternate switch on, switch off type vaping when having the after dinner, catch the news few shows to later while at the computer desk where the 70/30 sees the most use.

Here being a devout coffee drinker I no longer have any dehydration concern as far as vaping with a 70% PG level. My interest was never about clouds despite some not wanting to hear that a better vape can be had with the newer sub ohm tanks seen in the last couple of years over the sort of "old school" lower end gear as far as 6-11w goes. Where you find the best vape for you however is where to take notes to study the winning combinations you will want.

As for Temp Control type concerns besides running with the older standard type coils Smoktech just came out with a new TCT tank intended strictly for TC mods! Ran across that when going to look over a general $35 off everything sale one vendor has going presently. Smoktech TCT Temperature Control Dual Coil Tank

Figured you might be interested in something like this if you are more or less content with the TC mode where you can also have the right gear. Other brands of tanks are sure to follow Smoktech's lead there. That's one thing you can be sure of! :)

I started vaping with the Njoy vape pen years ago, buying their tanks and liquid. I now have a much nicer (and pricier, but who cares when compared to what smokes cost) vape device bought from a local vape shop. I was a heavy smoker for well over 2 decades and tried everything; this was a heaven sent miracle and I no longer smoke.

I really loved the Butter Crunch and Double Expresso fluids from Njoy. I found a Butterscotch vape that replaced the Butter Crunch and i've found many amazing flavors to add to my supply, but I have yet to find anything that matches the sweet, flavorful coffee vape Njoy made.

Everything I buy tastes like caramel or cream or candyish, but nothing like coffee.
I bought a vape from a place that tasted like burnt chestnuts. Weird.
A few days ago I bought a house vape that was supposed to be "Caramel Coffee" but tastes exactly like movie theater buttered popcorn. I watched a movie and vaped it.

Has anyone found a sweet, coffee flavored premium vape maker they could share with me?

Epic Juice - Wake N Vape (tastes like a caramel frappuccino)

I keep reading about various different tanks on here; are they generally compatible with most devices? I keep assuming that certain tanks wont work on my device.

I keep adding to my juice collection and I see that having various tanks for different flavors should be my next move. The dryness factor I get in some vapes are sometimes welcome, I like the slight dryness that my butterscotch vape lays on me in the morning, so I can see what you mean by it being welcome with certain flavors.

So far my fave is Cascade (Adirondack, 60/40), it's got an amazing, juicy apple flavor. I also like Pack Juice's Butterscotch, Blueberry Parfait, Root Beer Float. I just bought Wastegate's Raspberry (70/30) and was pleased with the flavor, raspberry with an creamy (almost pastry like?) undertone. I miss Njoy's Double Expresso desperately.

Dislikes have been Candyland's Nutter Finger, Sweet Tooth E-Juice's Delish and anything made by Strong Island. Nutter Finger was nutty, as described, but disgustingly dry. The only flavor in this juice is the nutty flavor (it smells like Butterfingers but doesnt taste like it), so the overpowering dryness makes the juice as a whole an unsatisfying vape. Sweet Tooth's Delish smells like Root Beer but has an underwhelming flavor when vaping, really a disappointment for sure. I've had house juices at my local shop that had a stronger , more flavorful juice. You barely get a root beer taste with Delish, it's almost as if they were trying to save money on flavor when they made the stuff (hahaha). Everything I've had by Strong Island tasted like soap. I tried their line at my shop, some guy was promoting their stuff and I had to politely pretend their vapes were "ok", just not for me. It was like inhaling Palmolive.

Unlikely you'll find something that tastes like that. I had tried two dozen different "coffee" liquids before i found the Njoy Double Espresso. Most coffee liquids have cream in them and other flavors too ( chocolate, vanilla, caramel, etc ... ), trying to recreate the taste of the Starbucks drinks. Black and sweet, haven't seen another one yet. Ahlusion has a couple of decent ones ( Light French Roast is a good one and doesn't taste like popcorn, whereas their Kona Kick did have the popcorn taste ). Lots of coffee liquids in the market have that taste.

Perhaps try diy'ing !? I have ordered the FA coffee espresso. I'll see how that works out.
Holy crap I got REALLY lucky today!
At a 7-11 I had checked for Njoy Double Expresso for, I asked if they took them down in favor of the prefilled tanks they now sell. The man said "Yes, we had the bottles for 50% off but moved them to the back when the tanks came in. I'll go check to see if they have any Double Expresso." The man went in the back and came out with 8 boxes of Double Expresson!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! In addition, THEY WERE 50% OFF! Wow.

Still going to buy some of the vapes suggested here though. It will run out eventually.

+1 for Dragon's Brew from EC Blend.
Also Dragon's Cafe from there as well.
AND since you're there pick up some Espresso Shot,
for a bit less sweet.

I quit smoking with White Cloud's espresso, but they
don't sell the juice. Have tried many, MANY espresso's
and the only other one I like besides what has
already been mentioned is Vaper 4 Life's New Espresso
flavor.
Good luck!

You can run an eGo threaded 1.6ml clearomizer tank on a 200w box mod if you want. The problem will be only being able to go upto about 10w. Other tanks like an Aspire Nautilus or Viva Nova about 15-18w at peak depending on the juice in the tank as well as the resistance of the coil or for older gear atomizer.

Most sub tanks initially seen on the market will run about 20-40w with the happy medium about 25-30w while some newer designed tanks like the FreeMax Starre Pro will hit 70-80w being rated for 100-120w while never quite making it there! That would be with 0.25ohm coils in use.

Having gotten into vaping initially with the help of someone who was in the process of quitting 4 packs a day and starting up a family run business months later I was initially sampling as the business started up and lately have suggested a few other projects including hinting not saturating menthol in non menthol flavors as a cooler without the menthol drowning out the original blending of the number of flavors tested. That business is now one of the Top 10 US vendors according to the reviews. And I have suggested a few additional coffee flavors one being a black gourmet style medium roast type of flavor to get away from the too many Cappacino types!

As for the dry mouth effect that seems mainly due to PG and not VG or VG with distilled water in some cases. The drying effect was what made it viable for Asthmatic inhalers since it helps clear out the congested passages when someone has an attack and why it is advised often for those new to vaping to have a beverage if running a higher PG ratio.

Well it has been a project here noting that Vape Gardens offered a few choices there as well as the Mom&Pop Vape Shop, Mt Baker, Crystal Canyon Vapes, and a few others while finding a good black coffee or gourmet, Dark Roast type is the task in itself. Some of the flavors already out there are good but simply don't meet personal preferences at times.

It seems like chocolate and coffee are really hard to get right. This thread makes me want to go on a scavenger hunt for the elusive Njoy juice at convenience stores.
Njoy got it right. Soooo sweet but strong coffee. I drop some in other house vapes and it turns it into a Coffee ____ vape. Awesome as hell on its own too. Great stuff. I doubt i'll ever find it again. Good thing I got lucky finding that stash at a 7-11

I am wary of Mt Baker. I've tried a bunch of vape sites like that and the flavors are always blah, nothing like the premiums I am used to.
 
I would like the strong but not sweetened part while I likely wouldn't be going with anything NJoy anyways! I gave Big Tobacco enough money over the years! Now I go through a regular family run eliquids business and see satisfactory results!

Now as for Mt Baker, Vista Vapors, Mom & Pop Vape Shop, ECig-Charleston, and some others they actually do have some great flavors. The problems I was having when trying some of each one's flavors out was the gear at the time wasn't sufficient! What that means is no satisfactory for Moderate not light former smokers to heavy former smokers who will find sub ohm just getting them where they want to be as far as both vapor production and flavor results to make the entire experience worth the effort over falling backwards!

Unfortunately those old eGo batteries seeing 1.6ml clearomizers as well as cigalikes simply do nothing much for the mod to heavy vapors as well as reflect a bad light on many flavors by various vendors since each brand or source will end up seeing problems due to the type of low end garbage gear in use! The type of gear is what you will find will end up being more of he Maker or Breaker regardless of who sells what flavors while some ratios as well as the flavorings can have an impact as well. Finding that happy balance for one doesn't mean it fits all. Sometimes you swap a tank and there you have it! It could be the exact same or different brand or model tank by same that will suddenly like a flavor you otherwise would have a problem with.

Njoy is not Big Tobacco, in fact not even small or medium tobacco ! They are strictly an ecig company, although they are wall street backed and as close to big vape as there is. If you prefer to do business with small " family run businesses ", clearly its your choice, but Njoy is not affiliated to any tobacco companies, small or big.

It's still cig alike regardless. And the point being made whether that one brand is or isn't Big T was that others are and will not be seeing any of my money! Lorillard, RJ Reynolds, etc. getting into the ecig business is simply to save their hides not look after the general as their livelihoods slowly plunge over time into oblivion! As for the NJoy brand one review pretty well sums things up as far as what I found when first starting trying out cig alikes and only after a two year time frame finally saw worthwhile vaping gear arriving by independent vendors not established one brand only shopping.

Now getting back to the topic at hand the two flavors found at the Vape Garden were good. But despite them and several other places none have been found to carry any type of med roast level or gourmet quality black coffee flavor. Unsweetened coffee anything will tend to be "Bitter by Nature" and why most will see a sweetener of some type in use. The likely best avenue for finding a strictly black coffee unsweetened at all flavor would be DIYing your own brew to get it just where you want it.
