FYI on Virgin Vapor's Organic Coconut Breeze: in my opinion, after steeping it for a month, it's still way too light/mild and almost flowery, not the creamy coconut I've been searching for. So if you order some, perhaps request an extra shot or two of coconut flavoring if you want more robust flavor.

I have Free State Vapor's Co-kona-nut too (100% VG) and made a special request for an extra shot of coconut which did help boost the coconut flavor in it. I agree with Oxtail in that it's a great, smooth flavor combo, but it's still not sweet enough for my taste.

I also have Dripeez's Coconut (100% VG) which is more robust & sweet. It's closer to what I seek, but is missing that creaminess, so I'm still searching for my ultimate Coconut ejuice.

K

Thanks, maybe I'll wait on the Virgin vapors one.
I like the Co Kona Nut but there isn't much coconut there (I should have asked for more like you did). Have you tried The Nilsson - Free State Vapor ? It's probably not what you're looking for either, but it's a vanilla/coconut with a little zesty lime. I love it! It isn't super sweet though, but creamy. I've asked them to make a straight up coconut. I love everything I've tried from them.

I'm definitely getting the plain Dripeez coconut.

Have you tried that Coconut Cream from Ahlusion?

I wouldn't get White Rabbit from AiV if you're looking for mostly coconut. It's more of a citrus/pear/not really sure, with a coconut lightly in the background. It was certainly vapable and interesting, possibly downright enjoyable at times, but I found it a bit bland overall.

I'm still trying different coconut and coconut accented flavors, including pina colada types. Anything "floral" or perfumey annoys the heck out of me. The second I see anyone mention the word "floral" I immediately move on.

Thanks, you are the second person to tell me that, I think i'll forget that one.

Ahh I do order 50/50 or 70/30 with them

I have heard the flavs come out good with 100%VG but take much more time steeping
again this would be where emailing them about preference and what your looking for would help a lot

I think I will contact them and explain my problem and order that Coconut Cream and also this Sweet Surrender, it sounds so good and has coconut also Vapor Rater

I can do 50/50 but more PG than that feels so scratchy to me. I love that smooth feel of 100% VG. A thick smooth velvety creamy natural coconut is what i'm really fiending after

50/50 is good with them

mostly everything is really smooth as well
except the aromatic line

the coconut is natural tasting but I don't think it has a heavy thick fell to it

like I said before I use it as a mixer mostly

but the sweet surrender I think you'll like

but then again if you email them about wanting the heavy thick to it they might be able to do it for you

So I went back the B&M and tried the Highbrow coconut there again. Wasn't as good as I remembered from the first time. Probably didn't help that I ate right before I went and still had some other flavors in my mouth.

Anyway, while I was there I ended up buying a bottle of Mastermind Elixir's Sinful. It's a peach and coconut juice. More peach and coconut, but it's really really good. Definitely recommend if you're a fan of both peach and coconut. It's one of those botique SoCal vendors that sell mainly through B&Ms, but there are a few places that sell it online.

I hear a lot about Dripeez red apple and golden apple. I tried their green apple and it was only OK. Will try their other apples later. Their peach was OK, but a bit more floral than I like. I can see how others might be really into it though I personally prefer other non-floral peaches like Highbrows Peach Thymbra.

Ya know a few months ago I ordered Highbrow Coconut (and the peach Thymbra) in 100% VG with extra flavoring, and I was in heaven! The peach was amazing, and the coconut...it was so flavorful and made these thick velvety clouds, the mouth feel was amazing! I vaped it so fast, then I thought if I got it with 50/50 it might be even more flavorful, but that time I got no flavor! It's been sitting for a while and is coming around, but not the same as before. Puzzling-maybe they forgot the extra flavoring :(

What I'm starting out with to try for now:

Orb Vapor -Organic Coconut sample (also got samples of the black raspberry and key lime with a shot of cheesecake while I was there)
Flavorz by Joe - Coquito (coconut, vanilla, rum) & Heaven's Nectar (coconut, pear, cream) based on the rave reviews that I saw of each
Coval Vapes - Ocean (Prominently coconut with lemon and lime)
The Steam Co. - Blue Lagoon (coconut and blueberry)
Will order the Ahlusion ones after I discuss it with them

I'll report back after I try them, thanks for all the suggestions! ;) Planning to try the rest also but i can't order everything at once

Five Pawns Castle Long Reserve is an awesome vape. Such a shame it is so difficult to get ahold of tho since it is made in limited quantities. A woodsy roasted coconut is the most prominent flavor.

I'm still waiting on my bottle of Gentleman's Reserve to compare the 2. Should be here tomorrow.

I had VV's Coconut Breeze for months and it never really changed. It always had that weird, floral kind of flavor. It wasn't a bad juice, IMO, but it was definitely not what I was looking for. It reminded me of vaping a cheap, tropical body spray or something, and that's kind of how it smelled, too. Taste is obviously subjective, but that one was one of the least coconut-y flavors I've tried, that was supposed to be very coconut-y.

Just to add another one that would probably go overlooked.

Berry Shangri-La Tea from Ahlusions has a very nice coconut note that truly shines after some steeping time. Its not your typical milky, creamy young coconut taste tho. Its more of that semi sweet and slightly bitter dry coconut taste at first, but it loses most (not all) of that bitterness overtime and really comes together quite nicely with this berry and tea mix. I absolutely love it.

Just got my Ahlusion Coconut Dream. Ahlusion is known for juices that benefit from steeping, but I wanted to try it straight out of the mail first. It's been in transit for a week so I guess it's already a week steeped.

It's a very good natural coconut taste. Tastes very similar to the Dripeez coconut. I'm vaping them side by side to compare. The Ahlusion is creamier, though it's not a toasted coconut taste. More like a natural coconut with some creaminess. We'll see if the creaminess comes out more with steeping. The Dripeez is 3 weeks steeped at this point and like I described it before, it's more of a good coconut water than coconut milk.

I like Coconut Dream enough now that I'll pop for a larger bottle. Will get a larger bottle of the Dripeez as well. Let them both steep and then do some more comparisons in tanks.

I've also been really enjoying my Mastermind Sinful this week. The coconut in it is probably not strong enough for people in this thread looking for a main coconut flavor, but it works really well to bring a little creaminess to the peach. I'm mixing the Highbrow peach and coconut which I have on hand to see if that works similarly. :)

FIREPHLY!!!!

Did you get your Coval Vapes stuff yet? I'm itching to know what you think of it.

My 60 mL of Ahlusion coconut arrived this week..glad to have it on hand because my 30 is getting low. I've not just been vaping it plain though, like vjc above, I like to mix it with stuff too. Love me some coconuts, apparently :)

I'm vaping it right now, they sent me a large bottle of Ocean at a crazy discount, and included a complementary bottle of "Raspas" which isn't on their site but they said it is a tiger's blood type of flavor which also has coconut so they thought I might like it, very nice of them!

The Ocean is a really beautiful rich tangerine color and smells amazing-a very citrusy fresh scent! I ordered a new dripping atty and I still haven't tried building a coil for my IGO, so I'm just using the protank, I think the dripper would be a better choice for this flavor though because it's subtle and soft. It's a light non-creamy coconut with lemon and lime, natural and clean tasting, mild but nice like a fresh breeze.

The Raspas is a light golden color (these juices just look so beautiful with their colors in the clear glass (they come with glass drippers as well). This one is mild as well, and fruity, raspberry i think? With some coconut and maybe a another fruit.
These are nice but for me I'd prefer a bit stronger flavor. I know some people get more out of the milder stuff than I do so for them it would be great I think.

I really need to get off my ... and start rebuilding so i can better experience those more subtle flavors, i feel like i'm missing out on something with some of the milder brands. I'll review them again after I get a chance to drip them.

I also got the Pink Spot-Surf Rider (coconut water, blue raspberry, menthol), I only get a hint of raspberry, I get a nice coconut and the menthol is just right, it's refreshing also, I like it.

The Steam Juice-Creamy Coconut is a decent coconut but it's not transporting me to coconut heaven either though, also got their Strawberry Cream which i'd say is the better of the two.

def missing out Igo is the easiest to learn to rebuild and has great flavor

firephly-
I just got some 'Red White and Blue' from Ahlusion. Thought of you when I tasted it. It's coconut with strawberry and blueberry and it's amazing. THe coconut is creamy and sweet and the berries are sweet and tart and super-real tasting. It's not too sweet, not too strong, but not bland either. I haven't tried any of their other coconut flavors yet, but I'll bet if they all use the same coconut base they'll be great, too.
