Off the SnV, this is delicious. I subbed FA Up for TFA Rice Crunchies (both are primarily Acetyl P I believe). Cant wait for a steep

#14 by Chapel, Aug 25. 2017, 13:03

That's an interesting twist! Let us know how it turns out!

#15 by Biso, Sep 25. 2017, 18:46

I have an issue here, I didn't try this recipe yet, but I tried Cappuccino FA before at 3% and it was quite weak, so I am a bit stunned here not sure if 3% is over flavoured so it was weak, or your recipe is low on coffee?

#16 by Chapel, Sep 25. 2017, 22:06

biso- Cappuccino is not a strong "coffee" flavor as it focuses a bit more on the cream than the coffee. It is really useful in that respect, because I needed both elements to pair with Up, which is Incredibly strong on the coffee note and far weaker on the back round bakery note. Together, they make a fantastic combo. Now, as the single flavor suggestions range a great deal, I cannot tell you if you over flavored it or not. There are some flavors that for some users less is far more. Take FA Butterscotch for example. At .25-.50% that flavour pops for me like no one's business. But at 3%, I'm vaping unflavored. For a long time I did not think I would ever be able to enjoy Butterscotch in a vape and it made me really sad. Thankfully, a passing comment by someone in a diy group made me revisit FA Butterscotch at .50%. I was thrilled when that tiny little percentage worked. Opened up a whole new world for me. So, whatever it's worth, You will not miss the coffee taste in this recipe. I guarantee it.

#17 by Biso, Sep 26. 2017, 11:24

Thank you Chapel for the enlightening and elaborate response, yes I did notice that, at 3% the creamy part was so overwhelming, and coffee was so mild, I think I will take that into consideration and use it at the low end of the spectrum, and if I want more coffee I may add FA espresso at 0.5%.
And thank you very much for the heads-up about the Butterscotch, I have the same exact problem, I use it at 2-4% with no success as most recipes call for about that percentage, will try the 0.5% and wait to be amazed :D
Thank you again :)

#18 by Chapel, Sep 26. 2017, 13:09

Biso- I truly hope it works for you like it did for me!

#19 by Subliminal Criminal, Nov 20. 2017, 03:47

Finally got the ingredients together. Been wanting to do this since you first published it.

#20 by Chapel, Nov 20. 2017, 04:10

I am honored! And I hope you like it!

#21 by Tony R., Nov 21. 2017, 17:21

Made this 2 weeks ago, hate myself for not making more than 30ml.
this really A damn good recipe! Hands down........ 5 stars!

#22 by Chapel, Nov 21. 2017, 17:22

Tony, Thank you!!! I am so pleased!

#23 by Subliminal Criminal, Nov 29. 2017, 12:40

Damn.

That's good coffee.

If ya like your coffee frothy then this is your vape. Had it in the Kayfun 5 and it tastes just like a frothy coffee for a Nespresso machine. The FA Up brings a really interesting mouth feel as well as the main bulk of the coffee. Fortunately I have enough con for several liters of this.

Top of the Class

#24 by Chapel, Nov 29. 2017, 13:53

😍😍😍😍 Thank you Subliminal Criminal! You are so kind! I'm thrilled you like it!

#25 by Dweezledap, Dec 8. 2017, 12:05

I usually do fruity or chocolate. It is a nice diversion. Not something I would do every day but a nice different.

#26 by Chapel, Dec 9. 2017, 04:03

Thank you for your input, Dweezledap!

#27 by ilkerelçi, Dec 17. 2017, 10:13

Burley fa aroma koymayı düşünüyorum ne dersin

#28 by wib, Mar 26. 2018, 10:44

I can not find in my country up(FA) , if I can replace with butterscotch (FA) or other????

#29 by Chapel, Mar 27. 2018, 12:03

You could replace it with FA Coffee Espresso if you can get it win! I hope that helps!

#30 by wib, Mar 27. 2018, 16:31

Thank you for replying,
I already get a FA Coffee Espresso but how hard is it to get a flavour in indonesian

#31 by Chapel, Apr 1. 2018, 01:51

I had no idea how hard it is to get flavours in Indonesia, but I am sorry it's difficult!

#32 by c00p3r, May 12. 2018, 14:07

Great recipe! i would recommend to steep it 2 weeks thnx ;)

#33 by Chapel, May 13. 2018, 01:05

Thank you c00p3r!

#34 by arno, Jun 17. 2018, 18:54

Hi Chapel,I only can do MTL and I like strong coffee do I have to up the percentages

#35 by Chapel, Jun 18. 2018, 04:38

Arno, I honestly don't think you will have to up the percentages for this one, it should shine right through! Do let me know how you like it!

#36 by Daour, Jun 18. 2018, 13:17

One of the best DIY I ever made, good work and thanks for sharing.

#37 by Chapel, Jun 18. 2018, 15:51

Thank You for trying it Daour!

#38 by arno, Jun 21. 2018, 18:56

Thanx Chapel it's lovely

#39 by Chapel, Jun 23. 2018, 19:50

Thank you Amount! I'm glad you like it!

#40 by Tara, Jul 21. 2018, 20:09

The caramel fa that you use is it called Carmel caramel fa? I’ve just put an order in I just want to make sure I’ve ordered the correct one I’m just a beginner at DIY and I can’t wait to try your recipe also with the steeping do I just put it in a dark place for 14days withlid off for 24 hours then lid back on I’ve made a few recipes but I think I’m steeping it for to long I’m doing something wrong it’s not turned out very nice I hope I get this one right any advise would really help me thankyou and thankyou for sharing I’m still learning how to use this site also so much to learn

#41 by Chapel, Jul 21. 2018, 20:55

Yes, Flavour Art Caramel is the flavor you want Tara! You can find it here:
https://www.bullcityflavors.com/caramel-fa/
Also, there is no need to steep flavors with the cap off. When you are done mixing, get the bottle all together and shake like crazy, then set it in a dark place. You can shake it every once in a while if you happen to think of it during the steep time, but it won't hurt anything if you forget. Just make sure to shake it again before each time you start using it. Im sorry your first attempts didn't go well, but you should know that you are not alone! Keep trying and you will get really good! I can suggest that you use the forum on this website to learn, or join some FB groups to learn and grow. Some I can recommend are:

Good luck to you!

#42 by Tara, Jul 22. 2018, 00:49

Thankyou so much

#43 by Tara, Jul 22. 2018, 01:00

Where is bullcityflavours locatet?? I’m in Melbourne Australia so I don’t won’t to have to order from overseas if I don’t have too I found the caramel on a website in adalaide but it’s called Carmel caramel fa hope it works the same I can get caramel Capella or caramel tfa or caramel fw if any of those can sub the caramel fa I’m just hoping the Carmel caramel fa will do the job as I’ve already ordered it

#44 by Chapel, Jul 22. 2018, 01:45

Oh Wow! It, and I are in the United States and and mainly just wanted to malke sure you got the same product. And, I also looked it up on Flavour Art's website! It IS Carmel Caramel!
https://flavourart.com/en/store/flavors/sweet/carmel-flavor-caramel/

#45 by Tara, Jul 22. 2018, 02:45

Excellent thankyou so much will let you know how I go with it

#46 by Chapel, Jul 22. 2018, 04:35

I am looking forward to it Tara!

#47 by Tara, Aug 4. 2018, 06:20

Hey just me again with shaking I’ve seen some really crazy ideas for shaking eliquid but is all that nessacerry? I can’t spell that word properly sorry or is just shaking the bottles my hand good enough and how often if I’m just doing it this way is enough?

#48 by Chapel, Aug 5. 2018, 02:54

Shaking by hand is perfectly acceptable, and the way I do it! 😂😂😂 People always try to come up with new and better ways, but it isn't necessary. 😉🙂

#49 by Tara, Aug 5. 2018, 03:58

Sweet thankyou

#50 by Chapel, Aug 5. 2018, 15:00

You are so welcome! 👍😊👍

#51 by Tara, Aug 9. 2018, 08:11

I love this recipe but I would like some sugar with my coffee lol I find the coffee is strong what can I do can I make it not as strong the coffee or add sweetener to this recipe can you help me with this and % of what I can add or subtract because I don’t really know how to play around with recipes yet so any help would be appreciated thankyou it’s been two weeks I couldn’t wait any longer I had to try this today and I give you 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very good well done just abit strong for me

#52 by Tara, Aug 9. 2018, 09:18

I actually can taste something sweet coming through this what gives it that maybe I could just add some more of whatever gives it that sweetness I really have no idea but honestly really enjoying it

#53 by Tara, Aug 9. 2018, 10:06

The more I vape this the more I don’t think it needs any changes I’ve just made another batch I’m going to leave it abit longer this time if I can be patient

#54 by Chapel, Aug 9. 2018, 13:27

Tara- thank you so much for all your posts! It looks like I was asleep during the last three! I am so glad the sweetness came through for you! If you do feel it needs more sweetness at some point, you could up the FA Caramel or the FA Meringue by .25%, or both .. I would start with one or the other, but I am glad you are enjoying it, thank you so much!

#55 by Tara, Aug 9. 2018, 13:31

Your welcome thankyou for sharing your lovely recipe 😋

#56 by Chapel, Aug 9. 2018, 17:44

You are welcome!

#57 by atssec97, Aug 25. 2018, 15:35

Exactly as the name implies! Damn Good Coffee! Mixed this up a month ago and tried it today for the first time. Really Really nice! Will add to my Keepers list for making more! Thanks for sharing! Awesome coffee vape !

#58 by Menthol, Oct 5. 2018, 11:06

Well it must be a couple a months since making this and yes still vaping her and loving her, Made one variant with some cooling agent to make a Frappe, Looking good so far.

#59 by Chapel, Oct 6. 2018, 18:28

Thank you Menthol!! I appreciate your feedback! 😊

#60 by TDave00, Feb 9. 2019, 09:13

I knew this had potential after the first vape, but it was a little underflavored for me. I doubled the flavor total, added a little Ethyl Maltol for sweetness and Smooth to blend the flavors.
Very satisfied. Here's a link my variant: tjek.nu/r/qW6N

#61 by TDave00, Feb 9. 2019, 09:32

I'm also using TPA/TFA flavors in lieu of FA, which your mix is based on, so that's probably why the flavors seemed weak to me the first go round. (I'm used to flavor totals being in the 20% range on my most of my DIY mixes.) I'm at just 11.5% with this variant but there's plenty of flavor.

#62 by Chapel, Feb 9. 2019, 14:48

Yes, FA and TFA are vastly different in terms of strength for many flavirs. I am glad you came up with something you like with your subs!!

#63 by kaya225, Apr 22. 2019, 04:28

I love this recipe. Exactly how I like my coffee vape, so glad I found this recipe. Thank you

#64 by Squall, May 13. 2020, 01:24

An FA wizard

#65 by Stavros Marinos, Jul 8. 2020, 10:07

Hello there! It seems like I can't find the UP Coffe concentrate anywhere in my country, but I also noticed that it is used in a fairly low percentage. Could I skip this one concentrate or replace it with some other coffee (e.g maybe Dark Bean Espresso coffee from FA?). It also happens to have the butterscotch concentrate. Do you think it would work if I used this one instead of Caramel? Thx for your input and time anyways :)

#66 by Chapel, Jul 27. 2020, 05:43

Stave is- you could definitely use FA Dark Bean Espresso @ the same percentage, should work fine! Also, go ahead and sub the caramel for the butterscotch. I hope it comes out great!

#67 by wesley, Nov 21. 2020, 15:42

Hi Chapel, how's it going? I found all the ingredients, except for FA cappuccino (it seems to be sold out everywhere here in Brazil). Do you think it'll be way different without it?

Also: https://media3.giphy.com/media/26mkhIj7fJHjq0JMI/giphy_s.gif

#68 by Joe Van Kleef, Dec 29. 2020, 16:31

Chapel in your opinion what's better the regular or double double?

#69 by Chapel, Dec 29. 2020, 22:00

Chipgorille, it will definitely be different... cappuccino is a milky sorta coffee....perhaps sub with FA Bavarian Cream @.50% + FA Chocolate donut at .50%?
Joe Van Klee- It’s a toss up and depends on my mood.... I really love the double double because I like my coffee with a smidge of hazelnut cream...

#70 by Joe Van Kleef, Dec 29. 2020, 22:29

Awesome thank you Chapel =) gonna have to grab some FA Hazelnut because atm all I have is FW....

#71 by wesley, Jan 3. 2021, 12:12

Chapel, found the cappuccino from FA, gonna finally try this. Happy new year :)

#72 by Chapel, Jan 8. 2021, 05:53

Chipgorilla thank you so much!!! Your “video review” made my day! 🤣😂🤣❤️

#75 by Gc8wells, Nov 12. 2022, 02:57

Made it for some of my friends they LOVED it! Not a coffee fan but they highly recommend

#76 by sir kay, Feb 7. 2023, 09:10

Mixed this and 17days later it came out very weak, I'm just going to have to double the flavor % next time and see.

#77 by Chapel, May 1. 2023, 04:29

Gc8wells, thank you so very much!!
Sir kay—Interesting. I am really surprised by that. Thank you for your feedback

#78 by Chapel, May 1. 2023, 04:32

Sir Kay- just out of curiosity, did you make any substitutions ?
