How To Improve A Nasty Cappuccino Flavor?

[Lord_Fubar]

I bought some e-liquid from Apollo which have been very tasty other then the Cappuccino flavor. Granted the later was on clearance so that could be the cause.
The Cappuccino taste like burnt espresso with some cream and a tiny amount of sugar to hide the burnt taste, or a burnt coil taste even when new and full.

Rather then throwing it out, I was wondering if the is a flavor I could mix with it to improve the yucky flavor. I tried a RY4 also from Apollo, but that really didn't help much. Maybe a sweet cinnamon?

Any idea would be welcomed by me as I'm on my 7th day of vaping and zero analogs, yea.

I don't know about mixing it with another flavor, but if you can't find one, don't throw it out. Give it away to someone in the PIF forum. I'm sure that someone else would vape it.

Bad coffee flavors are really hard to sweeten to get rid of the awful burnt coffee taste/smell.

I would order it extra sweet next time, if you even want to order it again. But I have yet to be successful in making that flavor go away.

I have a couple like that. Instead of trying to add to the coffee, in an empty bottle I'm taking 2ml of custard and adding 1 ml of the coffee. I'm bound and determined not to throw any juice away I will probably end up adding more of the custard flavor I have before it becomes vapable.

I've been "working my way" through a bunch of juices that I bought and don't like much - by mixing them together.
LOL - not at random, but when it seems it might improve things - and it has been working.
I'll mix some too-strong-for-me tobacco with some not-bad-not-great-really-cheap-RY4 and maybe some just-not-what-I-hoped vanilla. And voila - nothing I'd call an ADV, but better than any of them on their own.
I'm probably going to end up with at least 60 mls of this "kitchen sink" juice by the time I've cleared all the little bottles that otherwise were just sitting there.

I do the same... but dall it 'Barmat' as in 'barmat shots' that we used to dare each other to do.. You know, the bartender tips the rubber mat into a glass, and someone gets their tab covered by the rest for drinking it.

Any idea would be welcomed...

Consider it a loss and move on. Otherwise, the chances are very high that you will end up with even more bad tasting juice.

What about mixing it with some sort of caramel flavoring? Or a Chocolate...

 

[BigCatDaddy]

I wish I could help. I've got some Expresso that is pretty rank. I'll be watching this thread to see if someone has a remedy.

 

[MellyBug]

What I have done is add a sweet cream and either a hazelnut praline or an amaretto flavor to it. After all, that's how I would drink a cappuccino from a coffee-house...I really liked it as a morning vape...

 

[Lord_Fubar]

Chocolate might be the ticket. I tried a chocolate flavor even thought I first thought it would be gross, but it's in my top 10 flavors. Maybe a dark chocolate with a splash of caramel flavoring? I have yet to try any caramel or dark chocolate for that matter, but I'm thinking the bitter of the dark will blend with the burnt and help it become useable.

Thanks everyone.
I know it's going to be a gamble for every flavor I try and I will run into some bad ones. Cappuccino isn't a flavor I normally even consider buying, but it was on sale plus gave me a chance to try 24mgs of nic instead of the 18 I started with. I'll stay with 18mgs or lower.

more than likely its just a crappy batch (it happens!)once it sucks the chance you can fix it... not happening! I've tried ,you might be able to mask it but you cant fix it.try a different juice co.,plenty out there... vape on!

Reconstruction / Reconstitution Method

Let's assume you have 15ml of some crappy eliquid...

Step 1) take your fowl eliquid and dump it all into a glass container of some sort (shot glass works well)

Step 2) add VG to it, this usually mellows out any taste. If it gets too thick, add some PG

Step 3) choose a complementary flavor to add (either a premixed eliquid or flavor drops such as capellas). For coffee, you can add a different coffee flavor. Some other flavors that work well are apple pie, chocolate, peanut butter... and many more, but everyone's tastes are different so just choose one that you think will go well together. Add the flavors and mix.

Step 4) vape it and enjoy!

Step 5-8) if not enjoyable, curse loudly (into a pillow so you don't disturb your neighbors). Then throw the gawd-awful concoction away (do not subject others to your failed experiment. This is karma and the universe will thank you). Do your dishes. Put that flavor on your blacklist (i.e. the list where you swear to high heaven that you will never ever ever buy that flavor again. Not ever. Meaning never).

 

[steponmytoes]

PS this method is for flavors that taste bad, and not ones that actually went bad. I've had some eliquids that were legitimately foul (not fowl like I posted before) and no amount of reconstitution would work on it. These you just have to chalk up to bad quality control and get your money back if possible. I generally don't waste time to contact a company... they just go on my blacklist.

 

[Lord_Fubar]

LOL with steponmytoes, steps 5-8.
I'll have to pick up some VG/PG the next time I need refills. I would have never thought of step 2.

Thanks.

I have some hazelnut coffee that is quite strong tasting... Ordered some whipped cream flavor and mixed it and now it's quite good.

 

[stylezuk]

Dark chocolate caramel coffee - Morning Bliss sounds nice.

Good luck

Congrat, Fubar, on the smoke-free week!

At the risk of sounding sarcastic, my first thought was "to improve a cappuccino flavor...throw it out and head to Starbucks." Good coffee vapes are tough to find! (Okay, I know I'm not being at all helpful!)

Thanks DocTony! I had no idea Starbucks had a good cappuccino flavored vape now. Do I have to order it from the barista or is it something they stock on the shelves?
