These nylon mesh bags are superior to cheesecloth is almost every way.

that does look like it would work better.. might be hard to find at a local craft store though
Try a beer- and wine-making store. Those places are a dime a dozen nowadays.
Even with shipping, one nylon mesh bag can last a lifetime. I've never been able to get more than 2 strains through a piece of cheesecloth - by cutting it in half. So one bag plus shipping will cost the same as 3 pieces of locally-purchased cheesecloth. Once you strain 3 things you've broken even.

Another option is to make the juice in a syringe barrel with a cotton ball already in place at the bottom, and make the juice on top of it. If you wet the cotton with PG and then compress down on it with the plunger, before you add the juice mix, the cotton will be a tight pill. Then you can remove the needle, attach a syringe cap, add the juice mixture, let sit upright. The idea is to make the juice in the container that is also for filtering. Then insert the plunger, and just push the juice through the cotton filter. Add some more VG or PG to get the remaining goodies from the coffee, push plunger through again, and voila! Its filtered clear and ready to vape!
One other thought. Coffee itself contains considerable oils as much of the natural flavor. These may not vape completely and leave a residue, and might not be good for the lungs too! If you are detecting irritation in the lungs or lots of coughing, this might not be good. And at the very least I would be tempted to having a dedicated cart/atty for the AM vaping. Sort of like I have a dedicated cart/atty for mints and menthol.
Personally, while this may be ok, I am not comfortable with having caffeine depositing into my lungs. We know about nicotine, we don't know about caffeine, although not a lot is likely to actually get to the lungs, depending on the fluid thickness. Thus it seems just drinking coffee would be more efficient and certainly with less safety concerns. But hey its your call, of course, so let us know what the results are!

Yeah, I want the taste in my vape. Not the caffeine in my lungs.
I'm not concerned about the oil - plenty of people use flavorings with oils, and oil-based flavorings. Even if they do shorten atomizer lifespan it's not too much of a concern since atomizers really are quite cheap.

I got curious about the effects of caffeine on the lungs. Im a doctor and I kind of enjoy looking stuff like this up. I found that caffeine inhalers do exist and are used for the treatment of asthma. However, they are now available for those who are too busy to drink a cup of coffee or want to stay up for weeks at a time without the aid of crack ........

Jezzz...even f'ing starbucks is in on the action.

Anyway...the FDA says its ok to inhale cafeine...so it must be good for you.
