“Ideally, I want an espresso. But practically, I want something I can vape all day. Frappe hits that sweet spotโitโs dark enough to feel like coffee, but icy enough to feel refreshing.”
01. The Cafรฉ Series
Frappe is the standalone star of our Cafรฉ Series for the Mate 50K. While most vapes focus on fruit, this flavor targets the sophisticated palate looking for warmth and aroma.
It is currently exclusive to the Mate 50K Pod System. Why? Because coffee e-liquids are darker and thicker. The Mate 50K’s replaceable pod system is hygienic and ensures you never taste “burnt coil” residue, which is common in coffee disposables.

02. Hardware Synergy: Mate 50K
This flavor shines on the Mate 50K due to the variable voltage modes:
- Normal Mode: Keeps the vapor cool. You taste more of the “Milk” and “Ice” notes, making it feel like a cold brew coffee.
- Boost Mode: Increases the heat. This activates the “Roast” notes. The caramel becomes richer, and the throat hit mimics sipping a hot latte.
03. Flavor Profile Analysis
A sophisticated blend. It starts with a bold coffee bean inhale, followed by a wave of sweet milk, and finishes with a cooling menthol kick to keep it refreshing.

Dante’s Recommendations
- Need a palate cleanser? Clear helps remove the coffee aftertaste.
- Want fruit instead? Blackberry B-Pop is equally intense but fruity.

04. Market Showdown
vs. Geek Bar Pulse (Colombian Coffee)
Geek Bar’s version is very sweet, leaning towards a sugary candy profile. It lacks the depth of the bean flavor.
Lost Angel Win: We offer a more authentic “Roasted” profile, not just sugar.
vs. Lost Mary (Cappuccino)
Lost Mary offers a good creamy texture, but the airflow is quite restricted, making it feel heavy.
Lost Angel Win: The Mate 50K’s adjustable power allows you to customize the warmth of the coffee.
05. Dante’s Verdict
Frappe is my go-to “morning vape.” It pairs perfectly with an actual coffee. Itโs distinct, bold, and because itโs on the Mate 50K, I can swap the pod out instantly if I want to switch back to fruit later in the day.
