One day, a long, long time ago, there was a man who PMd me out of the blue, saying that he had made some coffee juice for me. Until now he did not want to be identified; nor did he want me to post reviews on the forum. He has finally agreed to take centre-stage … a round of applause for @Steyn777 , a DIYer of note!

Steyn777 made coffee juice for me. When I say “made” I mean that, literally. He did not use a commercial concentrate. Instead, he made his own concentrate by crushing and blending four varieties of freshly roasted coffee beans! I find that quite unbelievable. What is even more unbelievable, is that he doesn’t even vape coffee juice! Although he loves to drink coffee, he doesn’t like coffee-flavoured things.

I’m overwhelmed by the kindness of someone who doesn’t even vape coffee, but goes to all the trouble of making, not buying, a concentrate; making not only one, but two varieties of coffee juice, for me, someone he knows only through the forum. Not only did he send me two coffees, but a bottle of the concentrate as well. And, to boot, he refused my offer to pay courier charges!

And now, without further ado, let’s vape some coffee …

The following applies to both coffees:

VG/PG: 60/40 (at my request)
Nic: 6mg (at my request)


Set-up:
Mod: iJust 3
Coil: Commercial - Kanthal Net and Multihole HW-M 0.15 ohm
Watts: 80W

N.B. The 60/40 labels and the two red squares on the bottles are mine. I use this labelling system on all my bottles of juice, so that I can see quickly and clearly what it is, without wishing that I had a magnifying glass! That's the problem with keeping juice in a dark room.
One red square = 3mg nic; two squares = 6mg


The two coffees which will be reviewed are:
- This Coffee Went Nuts
- Like a 4 Chord Song

What creative names!

This Coffee Went Nuts

Steyn77_This Coffee Went Nuts.jpg

WOW WOW WOW !!! This is truly one of the best coffees that I’ve tasted. It’s a nutty, medium roast coffee, with the coffee flavour predominating. Sweet (but not overly so) on the inhale; nutty on the tongue, a blend of slightly sweet, nutty coffee on the exhale. A perfect blend of flavours has been achieved and it’s absolutely delicious. I’m nuts about it! This one is a WINNER @Steyn77!

Another creative name, which is clearly a reference to the four varieties of coffee beans which were ground for the concentrate.

This coffee has a full, rich, dark roast flavour, slightly dry, with just a hint of sweetness on the exhale. The rich flavour remains as an aftertaste. Those who like strong coffee would enjoy this one, especially as a wake-‘n-vape. It will set you up for the rest of the day!

Would I buy these coffees again? Without hesitation – particular This Coffee Went Nuts, which is my favourite, but both of these coffees are superb and would be successful as commercial brands.

@Steyn777, I gave you a round of applause when you took centre-stage; I now give you a standing ovation! Furthermore, I am deeply appreciative of your taking the trouble to make these coffees especially for me. Thank you very, very much!

@Now that sounds like a GREAT idea @Dietz! I'll Whatsapp you to make arrangements...

@Faiyaz Cheulkar Wouldn't you and your wife like to come along too? You can follow Dietz as the area is unfamiliar to you. I'll let you know the date ... I really need to give you the TBCO. By the time you get it, it will be well-steeped lol

Awesome stuff @Steyn777. I have some Kopi Luwak beans to try. How did you filter?
1st of...you have Kopi Luwak????!!!! @Andre if you are willing to make an extract out of that, I am sure you will also be willing just to share the beans itself with a fellow coffee lover. Its the 1 thing I could only get my hands on once and that was 3 years ago.
The filtering method I used when I made the juice for @Hooked is the same way @Rude Rudi described on his 1 post that he çalled the @method1 method. Filtered 3 times through 3 coffee filters...warning, this takes about 2 to 3 days. I am busy researching better filtering options because of the flack I got with my filtering process the 1st time around...but that is put on the back burner for now due to a new venture currently in the workings.

Thank you very much for the review @Hooked...I am actually a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Great way to start a Sunday. :rofl:

Thank you for the information. Kopi Luwak is amazing. You can order it here at a great price.

Oh my Vape! I hadn't realised that it was such a big job! Now I appreciate it even more, if that's possible! @Steyn777

@Andre So these are the beans, right? Not pods? A bit confusing, because the site is Coffee PODS guru. I'm quite fascinated. Never heard of this coffee and at the risk of sounding really stupid, I don't understand how one gets coffee from a civet cat!?

@Steyn777 Under no circumstances are you to order this. I will order it and have it delivered to you. I'll Whatsapp you later for your address.
 
@Hooked copied from wiki -
Kopi luwak
or civet coffee, is coffee that includes part-digested coffee cherries eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus).

Good heavens! The coffee cherries sound good, but the rest ... It must be a very good coffee though if @Andre and @Steyn777 think so. Have you tried it @Bulldog?
 
@Steyn777 i have NEVER in my entire 8 years of vaping managed to get a coffee vape that liked. Commercial or DYI. What would you charge me for a 60ml bottle?
 
@Steyn777 congrats. Sounds very interesting.

Hope there will samples available at Vapecon to have a toot from!

MELKTERT
Winner of 3rd place in the DIY competition at VapeCon 2019

Supplied by: TGG
Price: I received a free bottle along with other things which I had ordered.

Flavour Description:
“Legend has it that when the Queen Mother vaped this, she started speaking Afrikaans.”

VG/PG: Not stated
Nic: 2mg

My comments:

I was so excited to be getting a bottle of this juice, because I know, from previous experience, what a talented DIYer Derrick is.

Firstly, I love the flavour description!

When I started vaping Melktert I knew right away that it is seriously good! The flavour is light, delicate and a little creamy, just as milk tart is in reality. Although there is a prominent presence of cinnamon, it’s not overwhelming.

Most of the time, I cannot vape any flavour (even my beloved coffees!) for a long time, as I get tired of it, but this juice I’ve been vaping for 6 hours already! I just can’t put it down! It will join my very small group of ADVs.

@Steyn777 ! You’ve done it again! First the coffees which you made for me a long time ago and now another winning juice!

Would I buy this juice again: For sure!

Mod: Pico 25 with Mystique disposable tank 0.18ohm
