I don't know if this needs time to steep or if it's just a foul combination (on paper it seemed good) but I tried to put together an Irish Coffee (Baileys + coffee) juice and, as a shake & vape, it's not tasting great. I don't have a whiskey concentrate in my collection or I'd have probably added a few drops.
The recipe: https://pasteboard.co/GPQaZPj.png
Anything glaringly wrong? Give it time, or start again? This is my 3rd DIY juice so still getting my feet wet and wanted to try my own mix / no referring to a recipe.
Just fa tiramisu and fa Irish cream is a good starting place
Thanks Bass, I'll throw some FA concentrates into my next order. Pretty much working with all Capella at the moment.
is... 8% CAP Irish Cream standard?

according to this 7% is the median for a single flavor...
What is "Dairy Boost"?
and cup of joe could probably be upped to 2%.
Ah, I hadn't even checked the median / recommended %! I was approaching it with a more simplistic "how much of each do I want to taste" approach - huge oversight. Upping the coffee, toning down the Irish Cream, switching out the Bavarian Cream for a more neutral cream and looking into Dairy Boost further might be needed. This is the Dairy Boost I used. I thought it might give the juice a milky, creamy kick:

I'm not sure which direction to go for Irish Cream but I make my own coffee flavoring which may help you out a lot. I grind coffee beans for my coffee every morning so coming across this works out great for me.
Grind up enough coffee beans to make a full pot of coffee. Place 2 coffee filters in a bowl. (I use a 4 cup, measuring cup) Put ground coffee into top filter. Fill up bowl with PG base till it's roughly an inch above coffee grounds. Let this sit for 3 to 4 days. (I cover with aluminum foil to keep Xtra crap out) Place both filters into funnel that sits comfortably in your storage bottle. Pour PG solution through filters and grounds and allow solution to drain into bottle. It should look like black coffee. Depending on the size of your bowl, the amount of PG coffee will vary, I make about 200mls each time. Needless to say it doesn't get any better tasting than straight from the source. I like my coffee strong so I normally use 15% to 20% for my coffee recipes. Irish cream is one I'm planning on trying to make next but I currently make a Vanilla and a Caramel Coffee Ejuice. I make this for me, my son in law and his Uncle and it tastes exactly like a cup of coffee. I use sweet cream along with a lil Bavarian Cream for the cream taste. I use Capella for most of my flavors.
There's nothing wrong with the recipe (well maybe such a high percentage of bavarian will probably tone down the rest), but CAPs Irish isn't a very thrilling vape at any percentage. As others pointed out, FA Irish is great at 3-4% with 0.15-0.25% FA Dark Bean. Also, FLV has a very rich yummy Irish Cream with lots of interesting extra notes that will help you at 0.5%-1%. And if you can, check out INW Irish Coffee which is great at 2-3%, is very different fron the others and has the wonderful base notes from INW Kawa Coffee
FA Espresso is the starting point for a good coffee. For Irish Cream, I'd start with 4% TFA Irish Cream. Add a touch of Toasted Marshmallow (don't ask me how it does it, but it increases the booze factor). And Whiskey flavors are sadly lacking. Some TFA Kentucky Bourbon might help, it will add the sweetness if nothing else.
I'm wondering how just straight up like .30 FA Espresso & maybe 3% TFA Kentucky Bourbon would go.
