Capella Vanilla Cupcake V2

Setup: velocity v2; dual 24g SS316 7 wrap; full cotton wicks Testing: CAP Vanilla Cupcake v2 4% aged: 21 days 70/30 vg/pg 1.5mg nic

Flavor description Mostly vanilla cupcake frosting. It’s got a decent artificial vanilla you’d get in store brand cupcake frosting. Dense mouthfeel and its pretty damn sweet. Above 4% it gets cloying for me but from 2-4% it’s a pretty good frosting flavor. At 4% there is a tiny note of some kind of ‘cake’ but its pretty easy to overlook with all the frosting on top. needs some help to be an actual cupcake.

Off-flavors: Get a very slight waxy/plastic taste at 4% but it is covered up in most mixes, at 5% and up I find it unusable. Not much off taste at 2% and below. Throat hit: Smooth, almost none.

Uses: I’ve used this right at 4% as the frosting for a simple cupcake recipe. Also would use this from 1-2% to boost creams. I could also see this working at 1-2% with fruits, mainly berries.

Pairings: Chocolate, cakes and most baked things, most fruits+berries, cereals, caramel, spices, vanilla.

Notes: Overall I like this flavor. I bought it to make Vurve’s Birthday Ice Cream Cake and it’s used excellently there to boost the cream/cake. If you’re looking for actual cake/cupcake flavor I’d go with JF yellow cake or CAP Vanilla Cupcake v1, or CAP Yellow Cake but I prefer Jungle Flavors version.

Second Opinions Someone on ELR mentions plastic taste above 6% there are some other notes there with mixed reviews.

One review on BCF that was positive and mentioned some kind of pepper taste that this and V1 shared

5 reviews on this site, one 3 star review says “Didn’t like it. Ended up down the sink. Others seem to like it, so went middle vote” .. the rest are very positive.
