How to choose a flavor when they don't taste like their name. Ex: coffees tasting like chocolate syrup, etc.

I have yet to find a coffee or espresso juice that doesn't taste syrupy and sweet. I got espresso from the vaporroom.net and it tastes just like Hershey's Syrup. It's yummy, don't get me wrong...but I wanted rich, roasty, non-sweet espresso.

I'm looking on Gourmet Vapours and trying to figure out the difference between cocoa and chocolate...what might it be? And again, wondering if their coffee tastes like black coffee. Does anybody's? (I emailed GV about the chocolate/cocoa but haven't heard back in a few days).

I HATE "cream" flavor; even when it's a note in a flavor (think cream soda meets buttered popcorn). It gives me headaches. Honest. I'm sensitive to some scents (candles, cologne, perfume, etc.)
So, how do I know if that cream flavor will be a note in a vanilla or cocoa or coffee flavor?

Do you like your coffee black?

I do...so far, I like vapors etc's coffee boosted.

It's like straight black coffee brewed...bitter tasting, which I like.

My coffee of choice is Cafe Du Monde....and this one is close to it.

Ive yet to find a coffee flavor I truly enjoy.

Its really hit or miss. Some of us like our coffee with cream and sugar some dont. Just keep trying small sampler bottles until you find the right one for you. The nice thing is at least the one you got isnt terrible and youll still vape it.

I wish I could help you with Gourmet Vapor coffee. Just finished placing my order with them tonight. Have a bottle of their coffee juice in that order.

Their sale is 60% off. For a 5ml bottle the price is less than $2.00

What PG/VG ratio are you vaping at? If it's high on the PG side, you need to drop it down. PG adds sweetness/TH to juice. Up your VG. VG adds vapor and, with some flavors but I haven't really found any too terrible, lowers the taste a tad. So basically try something that is 50/50 to start with. If still too sweet, up the VG percentage and try it. Good luck. That's a hard one to answer since taste is subjective.

I've tried the Maiden Coffee from GV. It's actually a little too strong of a coffee flavor for me. Like straight up, brewed way too black coffee.

I ordered Maiden Coffee and Coffee from GV, so we'll see

If this turns out well for you, I'd really like to know. I love coffee (Ethiopian Sumatra in a french press, anyone!)but the flavors I've tried all taste (and smell) like they have an artificial chocolate-yness in them.

You perceive tastes differently the first few weeks after quitting analogues. That might have something to do with it.

Several forum members swear by steeping, to bring out the best flavor in their juice.

Trial and error. Keep at it.

That cream flavor tastes like spoiled milk to me and it is freaking everywhere. It is really hard to tell where it is going to be, but it if is in one of the juices from a particular vendor, it will be in more. Hmmm shall we start a list of juices that have that flavor so others who do not like it can avoid it?

I DIY and I make espresso juice with espresso and it is very good, LOL. Also you can drop an espresso bean into your juice and let it sit.

That is a GREAT tip, thanks!

I've got the opposite problem. I've been looking for a good chocolate or cocoa vape and everything tastes like coffee to me!

I recently got a small espresso flavor from DIY Flavorshack that blew me away! I could've sworn I was at $tarbucks!
