My comments:

Cappuccino:
This is an excellent coffee. It has a medium to dark-roast flavour and creamy taste. The sweetness is spot on – neither too much nor too little. I couldn’t taste any chocolate or cinnamon though, but I have no doubt that they contributed to the delicious overall flavour.

Would I buy this juice again: Most certainly!

Vanilla Latte:
Neither vanilla nor latte have strong flavours, so I didn’t expect a strong coffee. However, I did expect to taste something. Sadly (as I love vanilla) I couldn’t coax the slightest flavour out of this one.

Would I buy this juice again: No

THE GRIND - MOCHACCINO
USA (Nevado)

Flavour Description:
“The Grind Mochaccino pairs coffee and chocolate in sweet harmony. A blend of decadent chocolate and robust espresso melt together in smooth and creamy steamed milk. This juice is for the hustlers out there always on The Grind. A coffee e-liquid lineup like no other!”

VG/PG: 70/30
Nic: 6mg

My comments:

A “robust” espresso is an understatement. This coffee juice is enough to kick-start the week, never mind the day. I can’t help wondering what percentage espresso was used. The flavour is overwhelmingly strong; so much so that a few puffs a day was enough for me.

I enjoy my coffee juice and I enjoy flavours which are there immediately. I don’t want to hunt for flavour – but I don’t want something that slaps me across the face! I want to enjoy my vape for many hours – not just a few puffs.

The chocolate comes through very well, but also extremely strong. It would have to be to hold its own against the coffee. In this respect, it is a very good combo.

If, in reality, you enjoy extremely strong coffee, then this is the juice for you.

Would I buy this juice again: Not likely!

Coffee Review #154

Sounds as if adding a bit of VG/PG and nic to dilute it may be a possibility?

Thanks for the suggestion @Raindance. I was thinking of mixing it with a vanilla juice.

THE GRIND - KARMA
USA (Nevado)

Flavour Description:
“… Experience rich espresso made from the steam of freshly ground premium coffee beans, blended with sweet caramel and silky steamed milk. This is a coffee drinker’s dream!”

VG/PG: 70/30
Nic: 6mg

My comments:

“This is a coffee drinker’s dream” states the flavour description. It’s also a coffee vaper’s dream!

The espresso is strong, but not overwhelmingly so and it imparts a roasty flavour to the caramel. The result is a caramel that is not sickly sweet. As a blend it is rich, lip-licking good and an easy ADV.

But be warned – it’s very hard on the coils!

Would I buy this juice again: I sure would!
