Why not call it coffee

 

[ogredog]

Not sure what you are saying roxxette....sad face for me.....or the juice?

If its because the review is negative....I said its good but it isn't much different than many others except the price tag....

If its because the juice....well then I agree. I've been waiting to try vv for a long time....and when I finally did-the hype was a let down again. The quality of the juice is great. Vapes good, clean with no odd taste whatsoever....but the flavor, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Maybe I expected too much...

Just my experience :/

 

[Roxxette]

Yeah sad face for the liquid not the review or reviewer

Ogredog, you purchase one juice from a vendor that disappoints, but you seem to have drawn a lot of conclusions from a single experience.

How long did you steep it, by the way?

Since I am always looking for a good turkish coffee vape, can ya give us a heads up about who the "many others" are, cause I would like to try them and compare. Obviously, this one wasn't your thing.

Why not call it coffee

Because Turkish isn't Kona and Kona isn't Jamaican and Jamaican isn't Kopi Luwak and Kopi Luwak isn't Costa Rican, etc.

Just as with good wine, there are those who can delineate, by taste, the different regions coffee has been grown, and may be looking specifically for a certain bean taste.

Sure, it goes without saying, that for anyone who has never had the opportunity (or palate) to compare fine wines, or has only sipped "diner coffee", then there wouldn't be much discussion. Under those circumstances, it would just be called "wine" and "coffee"...generic.

Actually, I didn't purchase it. It was a sample given to me along with 2 other samples and a 30ml of Kona velvet which I won in a contest. Annette was awesome and very generous. Though I do feel it is somewhat a slap in the face people can always expect my honest opinion.

It was pre steeped two weeks I was told, and good to go.

I may not know every special coffee dialect from Turkey or anywhere else, but I know stale/burnt ejuice coffee taste and I know what $money$ is.

I also can understand people running to protect their fav juices/vendors and that's fine, it's only MY opinion. I'm happy for anyone who finds juice they love.....Even if they became a member last month lol

My friend im dominican, i can tell you that i know about coffee and have tasted the finest, wines not so much but coffee and tobacco i consider myself above

My point is what ogredog describe is just coffee, i have try samples that i bought from classifieds and locally of these liquids that i call gimmicks fancy names for tobaccos and coffee specially and they are just that fancy names.

I am butting in to address this for anyone that may be new.

Joining ECF and being a "newb" are two different things that carry no real association. Even if a new member is a new vaper, they know that, but that doesn't prevent them from expressing their opinion, nor does it dimish their mental accuity. There is a wonderful and friendly ECF member who has 59,520 posts (at this moment) an has been a member since 2009! All I can say is, I am happy she doesn't compare and contrast with the rest of us, because many of us would all look like we joined last month!

p.s. How close are any of us to 59,520 posts? Someone with 10 posts can catch up to me or you (Ogredog) before we can catch up to 59,520! Think about it...

 

[passerbyeus]

Well most people not all may have 59,520 post because they have no job but ECF, I have been vaping way before I came to ECF I may only have 979 post but my bank account used for vaping is way above that number....so my experience with juice and other things related to vaping could be more than anyone with 59,520 post!

Which is my point. No one can presume to know what or who lies behind that innocuous avatar...ever.

 

[ogredog]

I thought it was a nice funny burn lol that's all Mann

Anyone can voice their opinion, but there was assumptions on Racehorses part that if genuine-and not a jab I felt needed to be addressed. I could care less really, buy $23 burnt coffee if that's what you like lol

 

[Mr.Mann]

I know and that's cool. I think I have had my fill on that kind of juice anyway . The name means nothing and the description means nothing. If it is tastes like gas station coffee, then it is; I just took a bit of exception to the "joined last month" part. People used to come at me like that and when newer members read stuff like that, it can have an undesired ripple effect. I am not the moral majority and i was just hollering at you on a homeboy tip. Anyway, you KNOW that after you said what you said about the juice I will surely be skipping that taste test! I will stick with my "Dirtiest, Darkest Tobacco."

Just to toss some things around a bit. I love the company this juice came from, but the turkish coffee just isn't my thing either. BUT, the thing with VV is that many of their flavors including this coffee flavor are flavored using real extraction methods from actual coffee beans. No alcohol flavorings or inorganic additives. The burnt coffee flavor is what roasted coffee beans taste like. Dont like dark roasted coffee? you wont like dark roasted coffee e-juice. Try one of their fruit flavors like original sin and tell me that doesn't taste just like a red delicious.

That is interesting because I love dark and robust coffee. However, that is to drink it. Coffee vapes I think are better suited for the sweeter, non-robust side of coffee. Or, if it is going to be robust like you all say, I think a blend of other notes, like Casa, may be better suited to deliver the flavor without being so overpowering (?) I do really appreciate your insight though, it does shed some light.

p.s. I actually like to eat roasted coffee beans, but not vaping those flavors. I found that out the hard way with actual extracted "nut" flavored juices as well.

how could one Virgin vapor- organic dark roast turkish coffee "breath" stir up so much trouble hahaha

What an interesting and contentious thread! OK, putting aside for the moment the jabs (intended or not), veiled sarcasm, bruised egos, and defensive reactions, I agree with much---even most---of what's been written in this thread.

Roasting coffee does subject the beans to higher-than-baking-level temperatures, but---done correctly by a artisan roasting master---that's not at all the same as "burning." Roasting brings out the flavor elements in the coffee oils. Taken well into what's called "second crack," the beans will darken quickly and the oils will come to the surface. This occurs remarkably fast and must be stopped to prevent literally charring the beans. For many espresso aficionados, roasted beans that are shiny with oil are a dead giveaway to over-roasting. Most espresso geeks prefer lighter roasts over darker, since the caramelized sugars from dark roasts tend to overwhelm the subtler flavors of fruits and flowers in the coffee beans.

If the resulting coffee---brewed, dripped, or pressurized (espresso) tastes "burnt," it simply wasn't roasted correctly. Making American-style coffee in a percolator is essentially boiling it, which is almost guaranteed to produce a burnt flavor.

Turkish coffee is fine-ground (almost powder-like), then boiled in a small pot. Technically, the resulting thicker-than-water liquid is sweetened to taste, but that usually means heavily sweetened to cover the inherent bitterness and burnt flavor. (I don't know how it's served in Turkey, but when I've had it in ethnic Middle Eastern restaurants in America throughout my life, it was served very sweet and commonly after the meal, like a dessert. Maybe some hardy types drink Turkish coffee unsweetened, though.)

If VV Organic Dark Roast Turkish Coffee is unsweetened (as ogredog stated), the aim might be to provide an intense, robust and aromatic experience, but I wouldn't be surprised if it tasted either bitter, burnt, or both. I haven't vaped the juice myself, so I can't provide a personal reaction, just one more semi-informed perspective. I qualify as a die-hard espresso geek who roasts his own beans, but I'm no expert on Turkish coffee.

I appreciate reviews. People give their honest opinions on how it does for them. That doesn't translate in to "how it does" for me. What it does help me with is to determine if I must buy it now to decide for myself or if I can put it on my list of 500 other flavors I want to try, when my creaky credit card can stand it. And as there aren't too many other ways to make a determination of what to buy, for many of these juices, other than beautiful photography and enticing descriptions on the seller's website, I love to read any and all input. Mind you, if someone said "Ahhhh. This coffee reminds me of my Norwegian Grandpop who used to boil that coffee for 45 minutes and serve it up by cutting it in squares, and if you were foo-foo you could put half a teaspoon of sugar on the top, then I'd definitely know that one might be a tad too strong for my tastebuds So take it all for what it's worth to you
