Smell:
The smell is a very familiar caramel almost cappuccino smell which you get from those little round brown hard candy sweets "Kopiko"
Drop Taste:
You get a nice coffee taste with the sweet caramel at the end of with a slight creaminess to it. As mentioned, it tastes like the brown oval coffee/cappuccino sweets.
Shake 'N Vape Notes:
The profile you get when immediately vaping the juice is definitely a coffee with slight cappuccino notes with the caramel not really noticeable much. You do get a slight bitterness almost like drinking coffee with only 1 sugar instead of 3 and the flavors aren't totally muted but not fully developed and blended yet which is to be expected from a coffee with creams ect.
3 Day Steep Notes
The coffee notes are starting to shine a little bit better and the cappuccino/caramel notes are also becoming sweeter but the profile is still a little muted and underdeveloped and will require more steeping. At this stage it is vapeable but not at the best yet.
1 Week Steep Notes
The flavors are starting to pull together here. The juice is now much more coffee with caramel with a nice thick cream ontop. Its creamy, sweet and the coffee is sweet with the caramel notes.
Taste and flavor notes
After around 10 days of steeping, the profile im getting is basically the hard brown coffee candy you get similar to the below sweets. The coffee is really good and im not the biggest coffee vaper but here the caramel and the cream together makes this one hell of a coffee vape. I tested the profile while vaping my cup of coffee and i almost could not tell the difference except that the juice is sweet with the after taste of caramel.
I think if this had some Ice to it, it would make the perfect Coffee shake!
Subohm Flavor:
I have mostly been testing the juice in the Geekvape Zeus subohm and the new Geekvape Cerberus tank and the flavor is really sweet, authentic and provides a great flavor at 65W. The juice might be a little too sweet on the subohm tanks and if you like your coffee without sugar, this might be a little too sweet.
RTA:
The profile in my Dual Aqua master using some fancy Boom coils works well and provides me with the same rounded flavor as i get from the subohm tanks using their mesh coils but on my RTA the Caramel is a little less pronounced and the juice isnt as sweet as with the subohm tanks. I say the juice works best in RTA.
RDA:
Flavor is good, very sweet and gives similar notes as the subohm tanks.
Overall feedback and quality:
Although this is an expensive one shot, i think its well worth it. Not being a big coffee profile lover, this is once of those that i will continue to vape as its a really good well rounded profile with a very realistic coffee flavor and with the creamyness and caramel providing that little bit extra oomph that i think helped alot. @Hooked i can recommend that you try this juice even if you buy the normal juice and would love to get your feedback as i really enjoy this alot. To me this is very similar to Escobar's Beans but about 10 levels higher and more complex.
Would i buy this One Shot again?
No, but maybe...lol Im not a coffee lover so might only get this for that first tank in the mornings but won't buy it as an ADV for me personally.
