That looks awesome thank you.
Jelly Candy - hmm interesting. Will definitely give this a go.
Dam rule 1, and just after Vapecon, will definately be mixing it, just not right now.
Some of my Creations that Ive been meaning to post for a while. @Andre I think you asked for the 1st one.
This recipe and variations where inspired by 3-2-1 Ocean Water by ID10-T. I personally prefer them in this order:
I might add in some Cactus on the next batch to shave off some of the Passion fruit harshness.
THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS.

You can now have your Iced Coffee without the expensive MF Coffee by using VT Arabica Coffee in its place. See the edit at the recipe, as linked, for recommended percentage.

Brilliant news
Same percentage Mnr ?
Please see the edits of the recipe, linked above.
Arabica Coffee
Dare I say that VT Arabica Coffee is better than the expensive MF Coffee. Maybe a more robust campfire type of coffee than MF, but perfect for my taste. I have played around with it, adding this and that to make it fancy, but time and time again I come back to the simple recipe below. Not that the other recipes were not tasty - VT Arabica Coffee actually blends well with almost anything.
This simple recipe is filter coffee taste enough, sweet enough and milky froth enough. Enough said!
Arabica Coffee
VT Arabica Coffee 3.0 %
VT Coffee Milk Froth 1.0 %
Total flavour: 4.0 %
Steep: 10 days.

So Arabica tastes like a wilder bean coffee? I've tasted some Kenyan coffee before - your description reminds me of that.
All filter coffees belong to the arabica family. The ones you buy in the shop labelled as Kenya, Colombia, or wherever is arabica coffee grown in those areas. Its the different strains and roast methods that give each a distinctive flavour.
Instant coffee belong to the Robusta family if I'm not mistaken.
Mmmm - not exactly.
Filter coffee or espresso beans can be Robusta or Arabica or a blend of both. Remember the bean remains the same for both solutions - the difference is the blend composition, roast profile and grind size.
Generally speaking, Espresso is either 100% Arabica or a 80/20, 70/30, etc blend of Robusta or Arabica and mostly a darker roast on a fine grind.
A filter coffee blend coffee mostly contains a higher % of Robusta as the taste profile lends itself better to filter coffee, with a medium to dark roast profile and a medium to coarse grind.
This is a very complex field and there are no hard and fast rules as profiles change all the time - 100% Arabica today and 70/30 tomorrow...
Happy to provide more detail but it can be lengthy...

I got my info from a tour guide at a coffee farm we visited in Margate.
But I trust your info more.
That's good to hear, I never liked MF Coffee
Now if someone would just get it in stock...
Finally got stock of VT Arabica Coffee - will hopefully mix the new version soon
Please give is a full breakdown of this flavour. I'm also extremely interested!
@Andre is probably in a better position to comment on this. I've been using MF Coffee for a while based on Andre's recipes for Iced Coffee and Irish Coffee. MF is one of my most expensive concentrates (I think it was R350 for 15ml), but used at 1% to deliver a great coffee flavour - perfect for my taste.
From the smell VT seems to lack compared to MF, but I'll wait until I have mixed with it to form an opinion.

If I may ask. Was plauing around last night with my cheap CB concetrates and made a coffee mix. Even after 1 day steep is its very nice. But how much cream do you put in a coffee mix, I only put 1% and cant really taste any cream. Also dont want it to be overpowering. Will more cream give it a fuller taste? It really taste good, kinda like a normal black coffee, just seems to be missing something at the end
I am not familiar with CB Coffee but very familiar with coffee concentrates. This is one of the hardest profiles in e-liquid, bar none, with very little success. The coffee component generally overpowers everything in its sight making it a difficult monster to contain.
The cream at 1% is way to subtle and you will have to up it substantially to coax any life out of it. Cream alone will not help (enough) here and I suggest that you follow some of the guidelines set out by (arguably) the best coffee recipe around = Marietta, with a coffee to creams ratio of 2 coffee to 5 creams. Try adding more and different creams and a touch of sweetness. Hazelnut and caramel also works very well in coffee.
Thanks Recipe was
Coffee cb 4%
Cream cb 1%
Brandy fa 1%
Honey fa 0.5%
Vanilla soft serve cb 0.5%
Pistachio tfa 0.25%
Think the brandy gave it a bit of watery taste at end, but I bump up cream now to 6% and now have a much fuller taste. Still not muck of creamy taste, but will give it a few days steep and see.
A bit to sweet for my liking, will maybe drop the honey by half next mix, as the vanilla soft serve is not really very sweet
Im not a coffe connoisseur, drink somma Ricofy most of the time, but this coffee has a nice roasted filter coffee taste, just needs the bit of cream after taste
Toffee Cookie Milkshake
A thick & creamy milkshake blended with sticky toffee and crushed cookies.
The milkske base comes with the compliment of @Freshepies and is, by miles, the best milkshake base known to man and alien alike. It is a thick and creamy vanilla milkskake and ticks all the boxes in the most realistic and indulgent milkshake department. Period.
FLV Toffee is what it says on the label = thick, sweet and sticky toffee. Used low, it works well and devoid of the fruity and funky off notes some pick up. It needs at least a week or so to fully shine, so be patient, it will just get better and better.
Salted Carmel boosts the Toffee just a tad by adding a buttery and rich caramel element which rounds the toffee off beautifully.
JF Cookie is my go to fresh, cookie flavour and sits beautifully in this milkshake. A tad of texture and caramel sweetness, inhered to JF cookie, compliments the toffee layer stunningly.
Let this baby develop for at least 7 days - 2 weeks best.
