Nicest coffee concentrate
- Thread starter Tanja

I avoid them all. Wayne and some others reckon FA UP is good. Another one possibly worth trying is TFA Caramel Cappuccino although it's ridiculously strong so one bottle will last you forever. I am not confident enough in either to buy them. I am desperately trying to find recipes that will help me to get rid of my existing bottles of FA Dark Bean Espresso, Cappuccino and Tiramisu. I have the same thing with dark(er) chocolates. Once I've finished my FA Cocoa and Chocolate, Cap CGD and CFB, and Inw Milk Choc I won't be buying another dark chocolate. Skunky burnt coffee and chalky chocolate latex are two profiles I can live without.
I've had great success with FA Dark Bean Espresso. It's very strong tho so you need to use it at a low percentage.
CAP Cuppa Joe has a very nice coffee smell and taste. I've been using it for a while.
INW Coffee is my favourite, but it gunks up coils. Just got some MF Coffee to try.
I'm enjoying INW Coffee - it's a well rounded, smooth coffee flavour.
FA Espresso is a bit challenging to get right and is quite dry. FA Cappuccino is a weak flavour and more like froth with a hint of coffee.
I haven't worked much with FA Up - it strikes me more as a coffee bakery flavour.

Personally I quite like Capella Cup of Joe / Cup a Joe (advertised under different names on different sites). To me it smells and tastes more like coffee liqueur than 'plain' coffee (I'm not fond of drinking liqueur, but I still like mixing with this concentrate).
There seldom is in DIY, you gotta find what works for you.
I was really hoping that one was gonna stand out... but I guess you're right... I'm gonna have to try and see what I like and what I don't like...

@Tanja - Do you mostly mix by existing recipes or do you mostly come up with your own creations? If you mix mostly by existing recipes, it might be a good idea to start with those concentrates which are most commonly used on recipe sites, which seems to be (I just did a quick check) FA Dark Bean Espresso on e-liquid-recipes (I just checked the fifteen or so highest rated coffee recipes) and FA Up on Alltheflavors (the 4 coffee recipes by @Andre , @Rude Rudi and @Huffapuff that I could see on the DIY Beverages thread here all use a combination of coffee concentrates).
I do a bit of both... I make one or 2 recipes that I find online... and also mix whatever comes into my head... but think I will go with the espresso version... I can mix it up with creams and stuff if that's what I feel like... that seems to be the "purest" coffee if I can call it that...

Coffee is tricky, very tricky...it is one of those elusive flavour profiles which no one has managed to 'crack'. I have every single coffee concentrate known to man and yet to find the 'one'. None of them really hits the nail on the head and mostly contain, what can be best described as, a burnt rubber taste. I am a bit of a coffee snob (as I work in the coffee industry) and have been searching for this holy grail of concentrates forever...
If you think about it, there are very few commercial coffee vapes around with mass appeal.
The best I have found is VaporFi Catch Ya Latte, which will set you back R450 for a 30ml. It is delicious and I have tried to match this profile on numerous occasions and failed miserably.
I quite enjoy Mooses Creamy coffee but remember that it must steep for at least 3-4 weeks for the coffee notes to blend together with the creams.
I would recommend 2 or 3 to start with = INW coffee (a filter coffee vibe, not too potent), FA dark bean (an espresso, knock your socks of vibe) and FA Cappuccino (nice and creamy and stunning with some added cream and a touch of bakery).
If I'm honest, I will advise you NOT to bother as I think you will just be disappointed....
Good luck and trust that you are well confused now!

Yeah... completely confused now! But I love coffee vapes! The Vape Industry has their Signature 1... a coffee hazelnut cream and then obviously Paulies coffee cake as well... love them both! Not trying to recreate any one of them because I will fail miserably... but rather create something myself...

The answer is N.E.C. but it's quite a learning curve and repeatability is a real issue

Please explain how, I also need a good coffee and since I roast my own beans, this may be the right thing to try. Help if you don't mind...
