Not gonna lie, I've got to be one of the only people on this sub who dislikes it
I was excited when I saw the recipe. I thought I would love it. I mixed it up and it tasted EXACTLY like a chocolate glazed donut but for some reason, I didn't enjoy vaping it. Just not my kind of vape I guess. I can definitely understand why people enjoy it though.
It's funny, some things where I love the real life analogue, I simply don't enjoy vaping.
Hear hear. I'm exactly the same. I LOVE coffee, chocolate cake etc... But they're my least favourite vapes. Yet I don't actually touch Strawberry anything and lemon cakes would be my last choice in a cake... But when it comes to vaping, strawberry and lemon are just my favourite. The list goes on - don't like mint, black currant etc., but these are adv juice flavours for me.
Please elaborate, do you prefer cartoony/artificial?
Cartoony? Certainly not. No place in vaping.
Artificial? Sometimes. For instance, I am lactose intolerant so I can't consume much in the way of dairy, but I love to vape creamy flavors. It's about the only way I can experience that taste.
I just mean there's not a strict 1:1 correlation between my enjoyment of real items and their e-liquid imitations. Enjoyment of one, for me, does not imply enjoyment of the other.
Lemon - I love lemons, lemon flavored candy, baked goods, you name it. I also love lemon vapes. I can enjoy objectively bad lemon e-liquids I just love the flavor so much.
Creams - Like I said, I can't enjoy dairy items, but typically enjoy dairy e-liquids.
Tropical Fruits - I don't usually enjoy many tropical fruits (jackfruit, mango, passionfruit) but actually do like these flavors in e-liquid.
It's a very interesting thing. The aromatic molecules in liquids represent an aspect or "snapshot" of whatever they're imitating, and don't necessarily create the same experience as consuming the real-world item. Sometimes that isolates what I like about an item, and I enjoy. Sometimes it isolates what I dislike and I don't enjoy an e-liquid where I would otherwise enjoy it's analogue.
Does that clarify?
It tasted a little light to me when I made the exact recipe, but I love the idea and think it has great potential. I made a few adjustments and its aging now. I don't have any notes in front of me, but if anyone is interested in talking about making modifications, I'm always up for discussion.
Nah I think it's a damn fine recipe, because it's not over the top. I can eat A choc donut, but not more. This recipe hits the right notes without being over the top rich... Which is why I like it and can vape it longer than 5 minutes. If it was richer, that would put me off.
I get what you mean. What I meant by mild was that the overall flavor profile seemed light (as in too low of flavor percentage type deal) but that's just me. Everyone's different. I'll make adjustments to suit me, and if anyone else would like, they're welcome to do the same.
I don't dislike it but it doesn't rock my world either. I was hoping for a decadent chocolate but found the chocolate to be a little faint for my liking.
My thoughts exactly. The chocolate in it just simply doesn't taste good, more like stale old cheap chcolate like last year's santa shaped christmas chocolates. Quite disappointing, after all the hype I was really looking forward to it,especially since I love rhodonite.
The chocolate taste reminds me of these cheap gas station doughnuts.
Perfect analogy - Wayne did a fantastic job getting the most out of Choc Glazed Donut, but in the end, it's very much a gas station donut (which I've been known to enjoy every once in a great while). One thing that makes Bronuts better, is that it doesn't leave a coating of grease on the roof of your mouth.
I'm mostly confused by the hype over FA Joy.
It just tastes like airy, doughy...nothingness.
I don't like it either, the Capella Chocolate Doughnut just taste like chocolate covered play dough to me.. It's not as bad as the straight Glazed doughnut but to me it seems it's the same flavoring just with some chocolate that hides the play dough taste a bit. I've been searching for a good chocolate doughnut ever since I tried doughboys chocolate glazed, that juice is just spot on taste exactly like a chocolate doughnut but I have no idea how to replicate it lol
I mixed up a 30ml bottle if it and gave it many tries and still don't like it :(. I added 2%bavarian cream to it and will try it again in a few days, I hope that makes it better!
Edit: kinda sad too cause I've been looking for a good donut recipe for a while now, if anyone knows one please shoot it my way thanks!
I like this one:
-
6% Chocolateglazed donut CAP
-
.5% ~~Biscuit~~ Cookie FA
-
2% Graham Cracker CAP
The cinnamon/spice notes from the grahamcracker mellow out with steeping.
It's okay. It seems more like a very faint, very plain doughnut to me. I wanna figure out a way to make it more flavourful and the chocolate actually present.
Tfa double chocolate clear maybe? To me that's a pretty strong "dry" chicane flavor. I don't have as much experience with tfa milk chocolate so I can't say.
Really? I mostly just get a choc. frosting taste from it.
I loaded up but it wasn't really my thing. If anyone wants to trade something for a 4oz of cap chocolate glazed donut hit me up.
Want a 4oz of CAP Harvest Berry?!
Shit. I just bought a 4oz. (It shipped 2 days ago)
Seeing all of this makes me lean towards the idea that I really won't like it.
I think it is a personal thing really... was never keen on chocolate vapes but thought i'd give it a try.... it really is bang on what it says it is... all the flavours are there, just not my thing personally.
Same boat man. Never had a chocolate flavoring taste good in any amount. Something about vaping choco just doesn't sit well with me. Same with all the coconuts, cap vanilla custard and tfa vanilla custard which is a crying shame because so many talented mixers use those flavors. Ps, not bad mouthing Wayne at all, the fire trails is in my tfv4 right now. Luckily it's cheap to make because the tfv4 sucks juice like it's trying to avoid anal.
I was thinking about creating this same thread a few days ago, to me it was delicious at first and then not long after the taste mutes. Its not because of vapor tongue either because I can taste all my other juices fine. It also has a weird mouth feel to it, it like severely drys out my mouth unlike most other juices.
I like it and it's in the same direction I was going with a version I was making, but I need to figure out a way to tone down the throat hit. The chocolate glaze doughnut irritates the hell out of my throat even down to 4%. I've tinkered with some tpa caramel and cap double chocolate, but the cgd still burns my throat.
It's not a bad recipe but I don't like how FA Joy adds a yeasty flavor after steep and I don't like the waxy end note that CAP Donut brings to it. I like it better with the Bav Cream tweak and I like it with 1% TFA Double Choc added to the base recipe.
I like it, but I agree with some others that it is too light. Maybe up the Choco glazed doughnut to 9-10%?
And I think FW Yellow Cake and biscuit are a bit superfluous in it. Don't really taste them at all, though I don't claim to have the most refined palate in the world.
And I get a Dunkin Donuts taste from it more than I do the superior Krispy Kreme. Not complaining, but just saying.
