A quick copy/paste from my tasting notes. I'll try to hit a flavor every day or so. Hope you find it useful.
Past Notes:
Coconut and caramel up front followed by very clean coffee flavor. Sweet and slightly bitter with some sort of neutral front-of-the-tongue (grapey) fruitiness (ethyl acetate?) Vapes a little coffee “liqueur-esque” (alcohol?) but the coffee flavor is clean and free of unwanted off-notes. Nice little hint of organic earthiness in the exhale.
Cocktail time! Add coffee backbone to cloying mixes. Try in place of coconut. Might be interesting in tobaccos. Caution using with additional coconut. May amplify fruit flavors a bit in mixes. Try @ 1% to start.
Buy. More. Of. This.

You should note what percentage(s) and ratios you mixed it in, and what device/settings you vaped it on. Great notes otherwise!
Thanks for the reply. These are literally just tasting notes. Mixing notes get incorporated much later though I will sometimes note particularly strong or weak flavors.
I taste flavorings first in plain old tap water at 1 or 2 drops / 4 oz. water. (If you've never done this, stop what you're doing and try this. Eff me, I wish I'd known this when I started mixing!)
Vape testing is done on a Magma, single-coil 1Ω @ 16 W or so., 1 mm air, Rayon wick. I break in my tester wicks with a little VG/PG base by pulsing them until dry. Initial flavor dilution is 1 drop of flavoring to 19 drops VG/PG base and adjusted as needed. Ditto on wattage.
Ah, so you do ~5% mixes in your vape testing. That information definitely helps, thanks. (I didn't misunderstand your testing notes for mixing notes, I just wanted clarification of what mixture you were dripping when you sampled them).
I do the (bottled not tap) water tests as well as cool whip testing for sure! I agree it's really useful to do that, especially with blends when working on ratios.
I just got to this flavor when tasting my FLV flavors before I do anything with them..
Small caveat, I and my family are coffee snobs. I like my coffee like I like breathing. We're not crazy experts or anything, but we've tried beans from around the world, tried whatever local and national chain barristas have on offer and we're very picky.
This is the first coffee flavored vape that I've tried (with just VG at 2%, mind you) and said "Holy shit" out loud. Now, to be fair, I'm a complete novice here - I have no idea what all the other coffee flavors from TFA and CAP and so on taste like, so I might just be over excited. But of the 14 flavors I got from Flavorah this one stands out as one I will be very very fond of going forward.
I still haven't mixed with this one. I'd love to hear what you come up with.
This stuff is amazing! I mixed coffee and vanilla bean ice cream which is pretty good. I put the full recipe in the monthly recipe thread.
