Hi,

I am looking for a good sweet coffee recipe. I can no longer get the one I was using. I use TFA flavorings. I tried coffee and sweetener but can't seem to get a sweet taste. I am still trying but am thinking I may need to use some cream in it to get what I am looking for? I would love it if you all could share your favorite sweet coffee recipes.

Thanks,

Sandy

TFA Coffee flavor is way way strong. I usually cut it down quite a bit but I use it just as an enhancer for tobaccos. You can always add some EM to make it sweeter. Sweet Cream from TFA is also good but it can get peppery so you might want to add a little just for some cream but use mainly EM for sweetener. FlavourArt Fresh Creme is also good but also prone to get peppery so ditto for that one.

Caramel is also always an option for adding sweetness and body.

I like my coffee (the ones I drink) loaded with cream and sugar, but find it VERY difficult to find an eliquid with the same flavor. While the coffees I have tried taste just like coffee, they taste like strong, black coffee which I don't like.

The one I'm using now is TFA Cappucinno (still very strong for me), but I add twice as much sweetner and creamer drops as coffee. (3% cappuccino, 6% each of creamer and sweetner). It's pretty close, but not quite there yet. I got the creamer drops and sweetner drops from my local vape store, Vixen Vapors, but any should work.

Perhaps you could try sweet cream (TFA I think) and cotton candy? The problem I find is that all the coffees have a "burnt coffee" flavor, and even with just a couple of drops it's still there, only not as strong.

I love a sweet flavored coffee vape and to drink. Lately I'm always with a cuppa fancy (homemade) joe in one hand and (DIY) coffee vape in the other. Yes, typing is a challenge, lol. I've tried many flavors and here are the ones I've found best so far.

Nature's Flavors Organic Coffee: This is my #1 for mixes at the moment, 10 stars, 2 thumbs up, and all that. Alone it reminds me of a coffee flavored hard candy. No bitterness, smooth, and it totally stands up to all the additions I like. If that sounds good you must try my Fabulous Carmel Mocha: 1 part of this, 1 part caramel, 1 part chocolate. I use FlavorWest's Double Dutch choc and Caramel Candy, and mix 5% each for 15% total flavor. Other choc and caramel flavors work fine, those are just my current favorites. No steep required, and if you're a StarBucks-type-coffee fan, you'll vape yourself silly.

Capella's Espresso: true espresso taste with LOTS of sweet, no cream. It's a good base. Mix with at least an equal amount of cream flavor for a good cappuccino base. Then add Irish cream, vanilla, cinnamon... whatever flavors grab you. The espresso taste is very bold IMO, so if you want COFFEE with flavorings, this is a good base to use. If you prefer coffee with FLAVORINGS, use the others.

Capella's Cappuccino: Sweet, creamy, smooth, very full mouth feel to me. I mix at a bit less than 15% and add a tad of Capella's Gingerbread (total flavor about 15%) to make a super Gingerbread Cappuccino.

Capella's Cappuccino + Capella's Espresso, at 5% each is very good! That gives the sweet, the cream, and a less-strong espressing, still leaving room for 5% more of whatever flavors you add. Vanilla and sweet cinnamon?

Nature's Flavors Organic Kona Cream: Very smooth, very creamy, not cloying, a somewhat smokey finish, and Very Voluminous Vape. Really, it makes thunderclouds :) The Kona flavor is right on, and I don't adorn or alter this one at all. I mix at 15% flavor, 65/35 pg/vg. With 50/50 pg/vg mix you won't be able to see across the room. Note this is Kona CREAM flavor, not their plain Kona, which is a far far far stronger coffee that I find harder to work with.

FlavorWest Mocha: not that you asked for a mocha flavor, but the list wouldn't be complete without it. By itself, reminds me of hot choc with a splash of coffee. Add NF Organic Coffee, and it's my ideal mocha. I add a little EM (I forget whose "Cotton Candy" I'm using; they're all the same to me), because I like it sweeter. A little Whipped Cream, perhaps?

Although the NF Organics have alcohol, I mix and vape right away without any elaborate steeping rituals. I will admit they both improve after sitting uncapped overnight, but no problem vaping immediately, and no reason to let them sit out for days or weeks.

You didn't ask for premixed either, but High Desert Vape's Caramelnut Mocha gets my top marks.

I've been looking into e-liquid and all the possible ingredients like the sources and mixes of nicotine and flavorings in their various forms when I came across a caffeine additive for e-liquid. I was thinking it would be neat to make a few coffee/cappuccino flavors that actually contain caffeine. Has anyone here tried any caffeinated juice?

Hi Sandy,

This is my favorite coffee recipe: all TFA

Vanilla Caramel Latte
4.2ml base of choose
0.1ml Caramel Cappuccino
0.3ml Sweet Cream
0.1ml Vanilla Swirl
0.1ml EM
0.2 sweetener
1 drop white vinegar

I vape it right after mixing but the Caramel Cappuccino might be too strong for some. It does die off a bit with steeping at least a day.

I have tfa coffee flavor and i have tried so much with it and i love coffee so i tried to make it work. And now i just put a few drops of it in a ten ml bottle and i put sucralose in it and maple syrup flavor and it comes out alright. Oh and the thing that helped a lot was putting more vg in it like 70/30 cuz it cuts down on the flavor. but i am still trying to add flavors to find the perfect combination. but ya the sucralose makes the difference for sure. Now i am just trying to figure out which sweetener could be better than sucralose. because sucralose is the only one i have tried

Vinegar? Had not heard that before and sounds intriguing. What is it adding? Just what it sounds like?

There is an entire thread in here on extracting coffee flavor from ground coffee. It's fairly simple: put some freshly ground coffee in PG, heat it in a microwave, filter it, an let it sit for a while. Do a search since it is a tad more complicated than that, but not much.

I tried it a few months ago, and, quite frankly, it tasted like crap, but I tried with flavored and unflavored coffees. I purchased some other in those small sampler packs which are available in better supermarkets. They are steeping so I will give them a try again, but I got busy doing other stuff. I am due to blend some new batches of juices. I just got some cheepo RDA's from Fasttech that I am rewicking with micro coils and cotton. My supply of 510's was dwindling, and these are about the same price but make for an easy clean: pull the wick, rinse, and pull in a fresh wick. Great for sampling!

Coffee has been the most elusive flavor to chase down, and I have tried everything from just about anyone from blended to DIY. OK, I admit I am a real coffee nut, and even have one of those real espresso machines that grinds fresh individual portions and makes a nice frothy cappuccino. None of this Keurig stuff for me!
