Dev Okafor — Beverage & Blends Editor
TopVapeFlavors Tasting Panel
Beverage & Blends Editor
Nigerian-British, former specialty barista in London (pour-over and espresso). Amateur mixologist and creator of a blind-test beverage channel with 50K followers. The youngest team member and the closest to Gen Z flavor trends. Joined TVF in 2025 to cover beverage, candy, and mixed blend categories.
Writing Style
Conversational, culturally sharp, and full of everyday analogies. Dev compares flavors to drinks and food — "Imagine an iced oat latte meets Thai tea — that is this flavor's energy." He tracks social trends and weaves in data — "This flavor has 2.3M views on TikTok under #watermelonvape." More colloquial than the other editors but never unprofessional. He spots hidden notes in blends that others miss.
