Setup: velocity v2; Single Flat SS Clapton .5Ω; full cotton wicks
Testing: CAP Yellow Cake aged: 30 days (tried at 1 day, 7 days) 70/30 vg/pg 1.5mg nic
Flavor description: Moist but airy cake flavor. Slightly sweet, light vanilla but it lacks that cakey-ness that something like JF yellow cake has. Reminds me more of box vanilla bean cake than a box yellow cake, not far away from the taste of these without butter: https://www.amazon.com/Trader-Joes-Vanilla-Cake-Baking/dp/B00DZDHBBK Compared to JF yellow cake, this one has less body and is slightly less concentrated.
Off-flavors: Nothing to note.
Throat hit: Smooth, nothing.
Uses: I have actually never used FW yellow cake, I have used both this and JF yellow cake as subs. I find this one to work quite well as a substitute for FW, in the recipes that call for FW I use it at a 1:1 ratio. I’ve used it in many popular mixes that call for FW and all ended up fantastic.
This could be used as the base of a cake/cupcake/muffin recipe at 4-6%.
(I am of thinking using this and JF yellow cake in a 2:1 ratio (CAP:JF) for a cake base.)
This can be used as an additive like FW yellow cake from 1-2%
Pairings: Creams, bakeries, fruits, cereals, caramel, butterscotch, nuts, cinnamon and some spices, almost anything that pairs with vanilla or somewhere to add moist/airy mouthfeel.
Notes: As a shake and vape the flavor is great, not noticing a huge change from day 1 to day 7 or day 30 for that matter. This is not a strong or overbearing flavor to begin with and doesn’t get much more pronounced or mellow with time passage. Maybe it’s just me but I get vanilla here so that could limit pairings somewhat.
Second Opinions
Some people on ELR like it, others say at 10 and 15% no flavor
Mostly good stuff on Bull City, except one guy who likes FW, nothing on ECX
/u/Arpeggiator8472 says it’s the FW yellow cake killer i can't agree because i've never had FW but i agree through him.
/u/xxoonn uses it in a nice looking donut
coop also utilizes it for a yummy cinnamon roll
pretty versatile ingredient and it's being utilized more and more from what I see
