Am I the only one who has had no luck finding a tolerable coconut e-liquid? I've tried coconut blends from several good vendors, and they all have this musty, dry taste to them that I find very unpleasant. I am always hoping for something milder, sweeter and not so drying - like the sweetened shredded coconut you buy in a bag. But the coconut liquids always seem to have this overpowering, almost bitter taste to them, regardless of the other flavors they are mixed with.

I have always fancied myself a coconut lover, but coconut e-liquids just don't seem to do it for me. Maybe it's just a tough flavor to replicate?

Would love to hear from anyone who can relate to this - especially if you have found one that you actually like! I'm afraid to try anything with a toasted coconut flavor since I've had such bad coconut experiences so far, but maybe that would be a better option for me.

See I hate eating coconut but I've loved the coocnut vapes I've tried, especially the coconut flavor in Bionic Vapors Prophet's Drunken Cheesecake (due to be released shortly).

That's funny, it's just the opposite for me! A coconut cheesecake sounds fabulous (would definitely love to eat it) but then again all coconut vape descriptions sound good and I've been fooled before. Fool me once... LOL

I recently got a bottle of Five Pawns Castle Long. It's got a lot more than coconut in it (bourbon, brown sugar, vanilla, toasted coconut), but I get hints of the coconut, then it tastes like chocolate, then I'll get the bourbon.... Probably not what you're looking for, but I find it a very interesting (and almost addictive) flavor. I vape it sparingly, as the $28/30mL price tag isn't what I typically spend on my juices. Other coconut flavors just haven't wow'ed me. I've tried a couple different ones from my local B&M and one from Volcano Ecigs - they just weren't the sweet that you describe (and that I was also hoping for.)

Let us know if you find something....

I second the suggestion of Five Pawns Castle Long. It's expensive but complex and very, very good. The toasted coconut is slightly dominant for me.

FlavourArt Coconut flavoring is good for DIY but it takes 15-20% to get a decent level of taste. Capella Toasted Coconut is also good and a little stronger, use 12-15%.

I suggest trying Roar Vapor Truth Serum. It's Coconut Cream and Pear, really tasty!

I can really relate to this. I found a good one at gourmet vapors coconut creame but you have to let it steep a few weeks before its really good. You can customize pg/vg nicotine and they have a mixing table you can change the mix to suit your needs. They will special mix it for no extra cost. I get it in 30 ml bottles with double flavoring for around $11. I tried alot of other vendors and just couldnt find a good coconut juice either. They all either seemed to just taste burnt or something just wasnt right about them.

I really like adding the coconut creame to butter rum I just mix it half and half in my tank its really nice and mello to vape.
